I run both BID and ZAF. I've read differing opinions on BID saying it "isn't" a firewall but a IDS, while the next website lists BID "as" a firewall. While ZA monitors both incoming and outgoing attempts, which BID doesn't (unless some consider the Application Protection option a type of outgoing monitor) I'd like to just run BID by itself for one day/night and see what it actually records. From the extremly few hits it's picked off, I've never seen any evidence that the backtrace function actually works. Info has always been "No additional details have been discovered about this intruder". I'd like to see if it actually "discovers" something.
I have no programs which ask to access the net which I refuse.
Does anyone "just" run BID as their firewall?
