I reckon they are nastys, particluraly from a firewall or security
admins perspective. The reason I liked ISA over many and just about all
firewalls from a few years ago, was that it gave me "almost" complete
control over what sort of "natsys" can either be downloaded or some how
find there way into the house, and near a cd drive.

The HTTP signature stuff was a huge shot in the arm for app blocking,
and in a corporate sense you need to have that sort of control of the
apps on a users computer otherwise you may as well put that "open all"
firewall rule at number one spot on the grid, IMO.

I see more programs coming out lately that are using http-tunneling to
"punch-through" firewalls.  Take Skype for an example, you don't even
have to tell it any firewall information; it does its own probes and
figures out how it can get through.

Getting a bit more difficult to filter the tunnelers, they look like
normal web traffic...  What's your take on them?

Hey Jim,

You being in the belly of the beast, as it were, you might have some
insight into why developers of network enabled application don't seem to
realize that there are these fancy things called "firewalls" that
control access to and from the Internet, you know, for security reasons
and stuff.

Did they miss that meeting, or not even get the memo?
