Re: Remote Access (Again)

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Earlier in this post we were discussing the pros & cons of
blocking ICMP.
In todays newsletter from clubtechnetworking@pentontech.com
Mel Beckman had an offer to send a .pdf paper
on this very subject:
4. FOLLOW-UP ON THE WHITE PAPER ON THE BREAKING OF THE INTERNET
The link I provided in the last issue for the white paper entitled
"Over-Zealous Security Administrators Are Breaking the Internet" has
gone bad. The paper is currently not online, as far as I can tell.
However, if anyone would like a copy, e-mail me at
mailto:clubtechnetworking@pentontech.com and I will forward the pdf to you.

Mel sent me the copy and it lays out a good case for proceeding carefully
with
blocking ICMP.
(hope Mel doesn't mind my broadcasting this).
