-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 BlackICE (Defender) is a combination personal firewall/IDS client. It's pretty neat. I've been using it for about 9 months or so and I am really pleased with its performance. About 3 minutes after I first intalled it it picked up someone port probing my box. I use it on all of my Bill (Micro$oft os) machines. Vanilla installs don't play well with VPN's but there are workarounds. It's only intended for single hosts that are on the internet not already blocked by a firewall (i.e. dial-up, DSL, cable, satellite, etc. users). It's obviously not as configurable as an enterprise firewall, however, there are security level settings (trusting, cautious, nervous, paranoid) and you can trust (and explicitly distrust ;-) ) particular IP addresses. It does have some neat features such as packet logs and evidence logs. You can get more information (including purchasing info) at NetworkICE's website: http://www.networkice.com/html/blackice_defender.html Hope this helps, Ryan Ryan D.
