Linksys Firewall/router

[Bill Clark]

Thus far the only security risk I have read about on Linksys products is
that you can get the admin and user passwords by looking at the source of
the html on the linksys.  That was corrected with a firware release.

As for the genius that said you don't need to block ports if your running
NAT.  Please send the public address of your firewall device and we will see
how secure you feel tomorrow.  Ever hear of IP spoofing?

Some Denial of Service attacks could be difficult to prevent with the
linksys but for the most part they are relatively secure.  There is no such
thing as total security.  I recommend that everyone interested in this
subject read secret & lies by Bruce Schneier.  Better go see him give a
keynote tomorrow at ITEC.
