I found two new features that 2.6 doesn't have. Pop up stopper and it will not allow you to close it down with asking you first. If you try editing the startup of zonealarm it will pop up and ask you if you want to change the startup of it. So if you have a program that will try to disable it it will ask you first. Here is a pic of what it does.
Having just downloaded and installed Tiny Personal Firewall, I've found it a lot more advanced than ZAPro. ZAPro is a good backup firewall, so I shall leave both running for the time being. However, when I finish my network and have a hardware firewall between my network and the Internet, I shall only use one or the other of the 2, since having 2 personal firewalls seriously impacts the machine's performance (it's only a K6-2/450 with 128MB RAM), and if there's a hardware packet-filtering firewall in place as well I won't want it to be slowed down any more (I connect through a 56k dialup, so maximising speed and bandwidth is important!)
Over and above all of this, Tiny Personal Firewall is FREE!!!
So it's been an entire weekend and have not heard from FreeOn. (wonder, wonder) Any chance of getting that lil' prog from you, FreeOn??
Nah Sorry KorpDeath your not going to get it. People have advised me not to give it to you. :withstupi
You are full of crap. Just admit it.
So don't give me the program. At least PM me with the details concerning how you wrote it and such so I can look into it.
I'm full of Crap your the one who thinks that a program can't mess with Sygate.
Why would I want to show you how... what's in it for me. I don't need to prove you wrong I already know I'm right.
What's in it for you? Assisting one of your fellow AO'ers.
And you're all alone in that knowledge, doesn't that make you feel special?
There is no harm in letting me know about a vulnerability in a program. You're making concerns up to avoid having to go through the humiliation of admitting you lied.
Next?
I'm not alone in this knowledge any programmer could make a program to mess with Sygate. Your just proving that your an idiot. And I'm not going to stop you keep rambling on.
So helping out an idiot isn't reason enough? If I'm so dumb then, please, educate me squire.....
Common Dumb Dumb keep rambling
I want so much to be like you FreeOn....I figure all I need is a labotomy and pair of tights.
So, I'm taking this insult throwing game you are playing as an admition that you don't know $hit. Thanks for veryfing.
Keep it going your starting to impress me.
Korpdeath and freeOn...
wtf?
Don't you 2 have better things to do then fight this thing out overhere. You 2: solve the probs using IRC or PM... or fight each other in Quake or RTCW.
I don't like to see 2 senior members flaming each other...
and btw: freeOn HAS made a prog that DOES disable Sygate
and if this thing continues I will write one to disable freeOn's prog ;)
*sigh
Now that I know I have an audience I guess I must reply.....
Then show it to me.....if you have a prog that (from the outside) can disable Sygate, then show it to me.
That's all.
Guys, I click on this link because it's about ZA 3 and I end up reading a 1st grade name-calling match between two AO'ers I happen to like reading things from. Free0n, helping someone else with a program that might prove a vulnerability in a software firewall isn't going to harm anyone. I've seen countless people hoard knowledge because they fear someone else will make things better than them. While this may not be the case, I don't think telling KorpDeath how to show this vulnerability would do anything. Give him a stripped down version if need be. KorpDeath, if he doesn't want to show you, leave it at that and go find others who will answer your questions. I, for one, could probably help you out on that if I only knew what was trying to be accomplished. Also, never fully trust any program that you didn't write yourself. Your only problem is that you vaunt Sygate so much that people are tempted to write something that will show a hole just to prove vulnerabilities and whatnot.
Both of you, settle your differences in a PM or a private chat...but please don't take it here. I'd like to think we have a fairly good community of oldbies and people who know what they're doing. Let's not ruin that.
Hehe, if that doesn't work, get on RTCW or Global Ops! I'm Vorlin all over and we'll cap some asses!
Well, not wanting to interfere into yours little fight, I've just downloaded Agnitum Outpost, and so far ( even though I don't know much about firewalls ) i'm liking it.
Just wanted to know your opinions about it, without starting a new firewall post.
thx
you may continue...
he he he...
:D
I downloaded Outpost a week ago, but I've been on holiday all week so I haven't tried it out yet... I'll post a review when I've given it a weeks testiong.
Outpost works great. So does Sygate and NeoWatch.
