Captain Crunch's New Boxes, Part II
micsaund writes: "It looks like the infamous Captain Crunch has been toiling away for 3 years on a firewall now known as the Crunchbox. It runs OpenBSD and is administered via a web-based interface. Steve Wozniak is quoted as saying it's 'next to un-crackable.' Check it out at ShopIP. The Register also has an article on it. As an aside, since the Linux Router Project (LRP) appears to have been sold-out and GnatBox is a tad expensive, is anyone aware of some kind of 'packaged' firewall with a slick interface available for free?" We mentioned Draper's venture into firewalls last year, but there's been some progress since then.
How many backdoors are there in it?

Yeah. It's called "stealing a copy of Firewall 1 from work". Sometimes you have to spend money for things.

This f*cking article was up on the Reg® on the f*cking 27th of February!
In the world *I* live in, that was last Wedesday!
How the f*ck does this qualify as "news"?
Answer: it doesn't!
And this is the level of quality that we are now being asked to pay for!
Forget it!
This topic is *olds* -- and it's *real* typical of what passes for *news* here at /.

I'm on PJ's "enemies" list! Are you?
His email was hardly unsolicited, and his response was far from unprovoked. You should maybe have learned by his example. It's really very simple:
