Ghostwall settings, are these enough?

Hello!

Just started to use Ghostwall. I found these Hermescomputers settings. Just wonderful are these enough to get good security? I mean settings before WarFTP Server.

You could use the new DEFAULT rule set. go to C:\WINDOWS\System32 and delete the file called ghstwall.fir then restart GhostWall.

If you doubt any settings you may have or missed just check your firewall to see if it is doing a good job of blocking and cloaking your ports...

You can find one of those testers here:

(Click on one of the Green buttons (1 or 2 ) options.

If you are looking for Applications Outbound monitoring features, you may want to consider Ghost Security suite component Appdefend. It actually provides a fairly well rounded security offering. http://www.ghostsecurity.com

 

What's the difference between old and new default rule set? Can some one post picutres?

I don't actually use any of the default myself so don't have a pic. Don't really remember what is actually different either. I just provided that info as a method to reset the rules to default for newbies who frack them up...

I know the current default has a security Hole on Port 0 & 1 for which I posted a fix before on some other thread and is represented on the Pic posted above on rule set: Port 0 & 1 Vulnerability (line one) so the example is valid but one must disregard everything below the first "Block All" Rule as it effectively blocks everything bellow it.

Here is an updated pic of my current "Play" Setup!

 

bump please
