There is supposedly some magic going into this in the next "Service Pack" of a mentioned major exploding Pinto. Not sure if it´s just flipping the joke of firewall on by default or something more comprehensive/destructive like non-executable stack. Or a completely new invention likeEnd-to-end requires that people writing the software at the end learn about buffer overruns (and other data-driven access violations) or program using tools that prevent such things. It is otherwise an excellent idea.
bug free code :-)
Last I checked most "firewall"s don´t make these machines safe, it might make them safer,Unfortunately, the day that someone decided their poorly-designed machine and operating system would be safer sitting behind a "firewall" pretty much marked the end of universal end-to-end connectivity, and I don't see it coming back for a long long time. Probably not on this Internet. IPv6 or not.
so only two out of three malwares hit them. Does not really help too much.
Here I´ve observed opposite trend, most ISP´s are getting rid of NATting because it´s failureCombine that with ISP pricing models (helped by registry policy) that encourage <=1 IP address per household, and the subsequent boom in NATboxes, and the fate is probably sealed.
prone and expensive to implement and keep running. Pete
