Re: GWF's, useless logs, and abuse desks.
I agree with you, most firewall logs flat out suck.
Even in firewalls targeted at power users, the scare tactics used in the logs amaze me. Eg, in Kerio 2.x, discarded ACK packets are logged as "ACK packet attack." WTF? |

| I use Kerio, and I don't log that Ack packet crap. I personally can't believe they did that as they are mostly just timed out packets to previously listening ports. All of my rules are custom except for the setting to block non-listening ports which shows up as 'packet to unopened port received'.
However yes, many firewalls use terms which are completely bull.
