Re: Just a Windows-Security thought...
A firewall 'listens' to the ports on a computer, restricting data flow
through some of the ports, and totally blocking flow through others
(ignoring data requests). In this way it keeps unauthorized users from
accessing the machine, because the computer ignores their requests for
data from certain ports, and makes them enter a username/password to
get data from other ports. Unfortunately, I have no network programming
experience whatsoever...you might try looking at code from different
linux distributions that act as firewalls, and if you're using Windoze
try to find Win equivalents for this code.
