Re: Bottom up security

I'd be happy to put up a cheap NAT router on a network here for a demonstration of how to whack it, if anyone would like to demonstrate their kung fu. So based on bang for the buck, NAT routers are not that bad, so please don't think I'm suggesting that you have to have the most expensive firewall on the planet to be reasonably safe.

Put it up.  I agree its better than being wide open. Unless the user has a clue a $50 NAT box or A $5000 PIX makes little difference.

Sure, people talk tough, but as I've asked before, does anyone here know how to whack even the cheapest of NAT routers available today? I'd be happy to put up a cheap NAT router on a network here for a demonstration of how to whack it, if anyone would like to demonstrate their kung fu.

Sorry my bad, I should have mentioned that I'm including NAT routers in my definition of a firewall (ya I know its not really a firewall, but it functions like one for inbound traffic at least). They might not be as good, but they still stop script kiddies cold as well as most hackers.
