hrbrmstr writes "SecurityFocus is running an article on firewalls and backdoors on their InFocus site. They provide info on firewall types, backdoor classifications, some examples of real backdoors and tips on mitigating their use on your network." Some good topics explained for the beginner, and it's a nice refresher for the veteran admin as well.

    there really should be a special mod category for trolls that are worth reading.

    Pretty sure there is one, called +1 Funny, but you're right, that one does deserve something special. I think the mod system works well, but it's really outdated. Maybe I'll crank out some cgi over the weekend and host a public vote for new mod catagories for my web page... or then again, maybe not.
