Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), currently in Beta testing, includes significant enhancements to the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) component, also known as the Windows Firewall. ICF is a stateful firewall that discards unsolicited incoming traffic, providing a level of protection for computers against malicious users or programs. To provide better protection for computers connected to any kind of network (such as the Internet, a home network, or an organization network), Windows XP SP2 enables ICF on all network connections by default. This new behavior can impair some types of communications. This article describes how to deploy the appropriate configuration settings for ICF on an organization network so that it is enabled and providing protection and so that communications are not impaired.

Need A Windows Server Firewall? So Does
Microsoft


Need A Windows Server Firewall? So Does
Microsoft
03/19/2005 02:22 AM

An article from the Register by Mark Burnett of SecurityFocus has me thinking about Windows Servers. We all know that most hosting servers for websites and ftp servers are Linux-based servers. But Microsoft has been pushing their new Windows Server software as being better then Apache, the Linux server software of choice. This article says that there is no adequate firewall for Windows servers. Check it out and let us know if you think they missed something..

It seems like the solution would be simple enough. I have been patiently waiting for someone to come along with a capable, full-featured Windows firewall so I can stop explaining to everyone why the right way to go is probably Linux with iptables. But my wait has mostly been in vain. Every time I think I have found the ultimate Windows firewall solution, I end up being disappointed in one way or another… There are plenty of personal firewalls out there that work quite well for desktop computers, but they all fall short for server use. Some are obviously better than others, but all are plagued with common problems such as poor logging facilities, limited configuration capabilities, slow performance, and worst of all, many of them seem to be prone to blue screens when traffic gets very high.
