I don't know about other people, but the level of ignorance shown by the banks "security specialists" astounds me.
What surprises me is that it hasn't been widely mentioned before; it's a widespread problem in the banking industry, and has been for ages. A few years ago, I was interviewing people for a network/security-type role, and made a point of asking which ICMP types, if any, should be blocked. It sure helped the weeding-out process - and told me which banks to avoid ;) Cheers R -- Richard Stevenson - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
