Greeting's

I was reading an article at SANS and it reminded me of how important it is to block active content. Many of you who use firefox may be using "Noscript" which help in blocking active content such as java script.


Although I use Noscript I still prefer removing most of the active content at my firewall level. Most of the software and hardware based firewall provide you with option to block almost all active content.

I just wanted to remind members here that active content such as active X, Java, GIF's, Hidden frames' Vbscript pose a great threat to security and privacy



here is the link to the article :

Edit :

If anyone here doesnt know how this can be done (how active content be blocked) you may provide your firewall name and I will be happy to post how to configure your firewall to remove active content.

Also for all those who prefer to block at your browser only you might want to First download FIREFOX and then NoScript from here :
