FIFO Buffer - In comp.dcom.modems on Tue, 27 Apr 2004 20:08:11 -0300 Chaos Master posted:Charlie Gibbs bleeding: For me, the chief advantage of dial-up (aside from its low cost) is the fact that with an external modem that can be disconnected, any spyware that might get into my machine (Windows, for instance) cannot broadcast my sensitive bits to the world. But as others have already pointed out, virus attacks are so quick - and so persistent - that although infrequent dial-up connections might narrow the window of opportunity, they are far from closing it.I use AVG as a anti-virus and sometimes I run Spybot on my Windows box.The best solution for broadband, IMHO, is a hardware firewall as it's unlikelyan exploit can be used to hack into it.I think I could do this with an old PC running Linux and using 'iptables' as afirewall. Mainly to block some ports, ping flood attacks and "nukes".Thanks a lot to all of you. I will tell my friend everything you'vesaid.MeirmanIf emailing, please let me know whetheror not you are posting the same letter.Change domain to erols.com, if necessary.
