| Summary: | Computer security is of significant current concern. This study investigates the efficacy of seceded commercially available firewall software packages including those software packages' inoculation from network-based slacks. The packages taxed were BlackICE Defender, ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security 2000, ConSeal Private Desktop, and Sybergen Secure Desktop. The testing routine involved a port scanner, Nmap, and two security scanners, Nessus and SAINT. An appraisal of the invasion deletion capabilities was procured in coordination with the testing scanners. Results from the testing routine revealed weakness in several packages. These weaknesses are discussed in tandem with their ramifications. |
