    'mate' as I said they were never adressed.
    If that makes you laugh good for you.

    ...meaningless is posting security issues in public forums, when the developing company already knows them.

    If you like to have a 'kidengraden talk' find someone else. I have better things to do...

    I do not like repeating myself. As I said:
    The 'holes' are already addressed to the developer.
    And yes 3.9 has them too.
    In the links that I posted you will find the tools to test your inbound security.

    You are welcome.

    Start here http://backtrack.offensive-security.com/index.php/Tools

    I am not talking about malware that will penetrate comodo D+.
    I am talking about 'spoofing', 'arp poisoning' and 'man in the midle attacks'. For testing you will need a network with at least 2 machines and a router (on 1 machine you must install comodo and you will use the other to perform the attacks).

    ps. Comodo vulnerabilities are significant only in networks that are not administrated correctly (for example, public wifi spots or home wifi networks open to everyone).

    No, hips cannot help in these kind of attacks.

    Sorry, but I will not list them. Wilders is a security forum and not a blackhat place.

    Comodos ARP protection isn't enabled *by default

    Might be part of the problem

    Latest outpost 2009 free crashed too, look here:

    Not much difference in reality, imho. In contrary Comodo has a good ip blacklist feature that outpost 2009 free lacks.

    I always enable the tightest possible setup of a firewall, always maximum security.

    5 years are flying away if you are serious with testing, isn´t it...:D

    If you say this then it is a serious thing, I suspect who is responsible for that.

    This ip-range is on my blacklist.

    Which firewall can do anything against this? I don´t know any firewall that is able to resist not only mitm but especially that what I call "remotely attached poisoned http packets/traffic" or http-poisoning. This happens everywhere, everyday at least my sniffer proves it.
    If you analyzed this the whole discussion about security becomes a farce, a comedy show without purpose, nevertheless to test and experience security (that in reality does not exist) makes fun.

    No "Protect the ARP cache" does not protect against 'arp poisoning' although it should.

    @ssj100
    'mate' I gave you some links where you can start learning and testing. I had enough of this BS.

    Firewall with good snort rules (IPS) can protect against some of those attacks.
    For example 'Yoggie gatekeeper pico' does.

    To all,

    This is an Outpost Firewall thread. Let's not randomly drag other products into the discussion.

    Bad to think some maturity would be present after my absence.

    I will look through these posts now, as I see mention of ARP protection, which I certainly know about.

    Stop the childish behavior. This is a security forum, not a playground. I have my own problems without c%^p here.

    Agree. Why should a mini computer be able to stop something what nobody else can stop, also not Outpost.
    I think outpost 2009 free needs a ip-range blacklisting ability to be equal to comodo (free) in relation to restrict http-attacks and http-smuggling. First priority should be to harden HTTP otherwise all efforts are meaningless.

    Well I just need a baseline intrusion prevention (always using policy management to contain risk), what I like is that I can set it to my liking and keep it quiet. Just defending the Windows-NT subsystem (without dll injection) plus registry and keyboard loggers thats it. No single pop-up by the host intrusion prevention since install (while Comodo or Malware Defender configured in the same way would pop-up), so very happy with it. :thumb:

    You agree on what? That ssj100 has no clue what I was talking about?
    For the record the http attacks that you describe (at least that was my understanding) are called 'http splitting' and 'http smuggling' attacks that target http headers and are very, very difficult to intercept.
    I already answered you that a firewall with (deep packet inspection) and snort rules can prevent some of them. Yoggie Gatekeeper Pico was only an example since it has snort IDS/IPS included in it's Linux OS.

    Outpost free (or paid) and most of the personal firewalls (at least those that I have tested) cannot handle these http attacks.
    If you want to prevent them (some of them) simple install snort on your machine allong with your firewall.

    If, after configuring it you set it in 'block most' mode you will never see a popup again. :D
