Other than “Port Scan”, what other attacking mode can Outpost Firewall detect?
Outpost Firewall detects attack using the Attack Detection Plug-in. Here is the detail of the plug-in: The Attack Detection plugin is made up of two parts: The Outpost Scanning Detection module The Outpost Attack Detection module. The Attack Detection module can detect and block the following DOS (Denial Of Service) attacks: Teardrop, Nestea, Iceping, Winnuke, Nuke, FRAG_ICMP Class (Jol12, Targa13 and other), FRAG_IGMP Class (IGMPSYN and other), SHORT_FRAGMENTS Class, MY_ADDRESS Class (Snork and others), Rst, 1234, Fawx, Fawx2, Kox, Tidcmp, Rfposion, Rfparalyse, Win95handles. DDOS (Distributed Denial Of Service) attacks are also neutralized. The Scanning Detection module can detect TCP and UDP port scanning as well as the following forms of stealth scanning: Syn, Fin, Xmas, Null, Udp.
