Re: New Matousec Firewall Challenge
I've done my best to convince them that Mamutu is misplaced in this test, but after 10 mails it turned out that for them, Firewalls, Behavior Blockers and HIPS are more or less the same. That's not a point I want to discuss any longer. The test is completely unacceptable.
Take a look at the level 1 criterias. They are testing if the application is able to filter TCP, UDP and ICMP traffic e.g. Well, Mamutu is not a firewall and therefore does not block web traffic in general. And we will not add such features just to pass such tests.
Badly, the ranking draws bad light on Mamutu - that's not necessary and so I have to take this as a harmful action against Emsisoft.
