zonealarm

[Rip The Jacker]

Sygate Personal Firewall. :)

[bob_the_alien]

The best would be a hardware firewall,
Second best a router.
And then lastly, software firewall, and I pick zonealarm for those
.

[Supernatural]

Nothing compares to Sygate. ZoneAlarm is highly over rated.

and why is sygate any better than za? :unsure:

[Supernatural]

Does Zone Alarm have anti-Mac spoofing? Anti-IP spoofing? OS Fingerprint maquerading? DoS detection? UPnP blocking? The list goes on...

would you mind explaining some of these to us? i didn't get half of it :P

[james_bond_rulez]

sygate sucks it doesn't even have a free version not to mention trial versions

what good is a firewall if ppl can't download it and install?

at least za has a free version for ppl to use and it means a lot to computer users

http://server3.uploadit.org/files/131103-za.jpg

i am sure za has all the major features that sygate has..

[james_bond_rulez]

no i meant their main site

www.sygate.com

was looking around, couldn't find the download section...

[james_bond_rulez]

Think again.

http://home.earthlink.net/~supernatural159/images/Screens/sygate_options.jpg
Enable anti-IP spoofing. By default, this option is disabled on the Personal Firewall. IP spoofing is a process used by hackers to hijack a communication session between two computers, which we will call Computers A and B. A hacker can send a data packet that causes Computer A to drop the communication. Then, pretending to be Computer A, the hacker can communicate with Computer B, thus hijacking a communication session and attempting to attack Computer B. Anti-IP spoofing foils most IP spoofing attempts by randomizing the sequence numbers of each communication packet, preventing a hacker from anticipating a packet and intercepting it. It is recommended that you enable this option along with Enable OS fingerprint masquerading.
Enable OS fingerprint masquerading. By default, this option is enabled on the Personal Firewall. This option keeps programs from detecting the operating system of a computer running the Personal Firewall software. When OS Fingerprint Masquerading is enabled, the Personal Firewall modifies TCP/IP packets so it is not possible to determine its operating system. It is recommended that you enable this option along with Enable anti-IP spoofing.
Enable DoS protection. By default, this option is enabled on the Personal Firewall. This option causes the Personal Firewall to check incoming traffic for known Denial of Service (DoS) attack patterns. DoS attacks are characterized by an explicit attempt by an intruder to prevent legitimate users of a service from using that service.
Block Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Traffic By default, this option is enabled in the Personal Firewall. This option causes the Personal Firewall to look for and block UPnP traffic to counter the vulnerabilities that are introduced by this operating system feature: The first vulnerability could enable an attacker to gain complete control over an affected system, while the second vulnerability could enable an attacker to either prevent an affected system from providing useful service or utilize multiple users’ systems in a distributed denial of service attack against a single target. Users can disable this feature when using applications that require the UPnP protocol to operate.

The free ZA is quite limited as well.

[james_bond_rulez]

does it prevent unauthorized outgoing email transmissions? (trojans or keylogger tried to call home)

the os masquerading is really the same as the za's "remove private header info" in privacy settings

enable ip-spoofing, i dont really see this as an outstanding feature as most reputable firewalls prevents unauthorized outgoing traffic. za "labels" programs much like kazaa reads sig for a file and encrypts all the "sig" with each program so trojans can't masquerade as a legit program requesting internet rights or servers rights.

enable dos attack: i think this is just plain bs, if you are really under dos attack there is NOTHING you can do except to get ur isp to filter out the unwanted traffic, firewalls can only block out packets but you are still blasted off the internet

block upnp, za has this too, my router has it, no big deal

[doodle]

Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5 (http://www.kerio.com) [freeware]. I'm not even going to explain, try it yourself and see why is it far better than all other free/commercial firewalls.

[nanotek]

sygates the way to go :)

[SciManAl]

ok, i am wandering since there seems tyo be alot of firewll techis here, is there a firewall that will make me completley anoynimous, because past that my hardware firewall does all the rest just fine...

[DL.]

No.

[3223]

i downloaded sygate and nortons firewall. which one should i install and which should i delete? or should i install both?

[james_bond_rulez]

download zonealarm ;)

ZoneAlarm4 (http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/1043_zl/zapSetup_40_146_029.exe)

and then *cough* crack it *cough*

:lol:

[The Kiler]

I have a double zone alarm firewall. Good enough to block 99% of attacks?

Linksys and Software firewall

[Marius24]

they both do the same job, as long as you have one your ok :)

[trillscout]

OK
But what makes norton worse than sygate and za

[james_bond_rulez]

cuz norton is just trying to have a share of the firewall market, along with their "other products". in retrospect za is a dedicated company that licenses top quality firewall software.

norton is running business increasing like microsoft... <_<

Have you used Norton&#39;s firewall? Probably not.
Does anyone read PC Magazine?
They have Norton Personal Firewall AND Zone Alarm Pro as editor&#39;s choices. I&#39;ll believe them before I believe a mere handful of users on this forum because YOU haven&#39;t even used the product.

Oh and I would test either of these products, pick one then add your hardware firewall. (hardware firewalls are usually enough)

Actually I do. To the average user a hardware firewall IS usually enough. I didn&#39;t say to only use that though. As I said, pick one top software firewall AND a hardware firewall.
You obviously don&#39;t know anything about Norton&#39;s firewall. Your&#39;re sitting there sprouting opinions about a piece of software you&#39;ve never used just because they&#39;re "just trying to have a share of the firewall market, along with their "other products".
They seem to have done a pretty good job.
Keep your uneducated want-to-know-it-all opinions to yourself.
Your ego won&#39;t shrink any less if you just STFU sometimes. ;)

[james_bond_rulez]

oh wow if you run so low on words you can always flip open a dictionary, no need for stfu :P

anyways this topic is open for discussion i dont need to keep opinions to myself.

if you are so narrow minded about other ppl&#39;s opinions i suggest you turn off ur computer, go outside and yell "ooooosa" to strangers. Believe me, it&#39;ll do you some good ;)

Uhhh.......no


It&#39;s your uneducated opinion because of marketing bullshit that I crap on. You remind of all folks that say Microsoft has harmed the public AFTER there was a case brought against them. Get off the bandwagon.
Test the product first smart guy........or else your "opinions" are good for nothing.
They are shit that doesn&#39;t even stink. No purpose. <_<

[james_bond_rulez]

oh i have used norton, it&#39;s not any better than sygate or zonealarm.

it&#39;s all the same shit in different packages. However i am just trying to point out that zonealarm has been thoroghly tested by computer security experts and is ranked first on steve&#39;s website. and it&#39;s also what i recommand to ppl if they ask which firewall to use.

your attempt to bash my opinion was purely personal and unfounded. this forum would be better off without all the flaming and bashing and let the freedom of opinions flow.

uneducated opinion? i dont think so.

However if you wish to contine on this pointless exchange of flames and bashing so be it but you are wasting your time and my time.

[muchspl2]

you can&#39;t import the bad ip list into norton without putting them in 1 at a time, that alone kills them for me
/.02

[trillscout]

Thank you guys (james bond+busyman) both. That was a very informative
argu...um I mean discussion :D by the way is za compatiable with norton in any way
and where can I get a hardware firewall?

I ? norton&#39;s credibity after I found out I had a virus that AVG found but
Norton AV couldn&#39;t.

i am glad you pointed that out

i had norton corp antivirus installed however when i switched to trend micro i found server viruses/worms on my computer when norton wasn&#39;t able to detect prior.

never installed another norton antivirus again...

[muchspl2]

I left out my utter contempt for norton av as this was pertaining to firewall, norton av sucks a phat one and your better off not run a av if you run norton, well not really, but too many norton drones in general
several times people I know have been compromised by virii and trojans using symatic products, don&#39;t believe the norton hype as far as firewall that works fine other than my original complaint about the bad ip list

[nostalgia]

Norton is highly over rated cause of their slick GUI&#39;s and cause manufacturers deliver a Norton product if you buy their pc.
For myself I use ZA PRO and Sygate PRo5 in turns.
They both do their work good. Also both were splendid in the leaktest and portprobe (shields up) at http://www.grc.com
But nevertheless I also have a anit-virus, anti-trojan and spy-adware removers. Unfortunately there isn&#39;t a programm that combines it all with good results.

Make a new thread for this, more people would then know you have the problem.

[muchspl2]

after all that has been said, you still want norton :o

your choice I guess <_<

[JohnD]

How can something so small as these other firewall be better than Norton firewall, which is so big in size?
Is there anything that Nortion Firewall can do in terms of firewall that these other smaller firewalls cannot do?
Is there anything that these other smaller firewalls can do that Norton firewall cannot do?
Can I run both Nortong firewall and Sygate or Norton and Zonealarm at the same time to test and see what i like?
I tried Norton Firewall 2003 and it blocked so much that I had so many problems that I went back to Norton Firewall 2002. I had difficulty just getting on the internet, staying on the internet, visiting certain websites, downloading and sharing fiile--Norton 2003 headache.
My other question is, what is the best antivirus program in terms of protection?

[Poolplayer34]

Zone Alarm is the best by FAR IMO

Zonealarm 4.5.530 has just came out. I know this because i have a legal version of ZA Pro and i got a dialogue today prompting me to update. Your best bet is to download the free version, then get a key to unlock the Pro features (you will have to wait a little while). You will not be able to crack registration which is needed for auto updates, as you don&#39;t have an account on Zone Labs server.

My opinion is that since people have access to all this free software, they spend far too much time chopping and changing products. Norton, Zone Alarm, Sygate, whatever. Choose one then be happy with it, they are all great products. Switching all the time just messes up your system, then you find you have problems; how did this happen you ask&#33;&#33; What makes you think that hackers are going to target you anyway? If they did then no software firewall will stop a profficient hacker, it will however block all the scripts, port scans and internet &#39;noise&#39;.

Same for AV&#39;s, Norton does just fine, AVG great, nod32 great if you can crack it. The reason most people report infection while using norton, is probably because most people are using Norton. You yourself must adopt common sense practices to avoid infecting your system. Theres a pinned topic on that subject.

do you ask to goto the bathroom?

if you like za, keep it, if you don&#39;t, get rid of it
its already been stated not to run 2 firewalls at once

:D now the heat seems to died down on this thread :o i will stick my nib in the ink ;) i use norton av and firewall 2003 and imo they do a fine job :o ive never been hacked or got a virus and they integrate into systemworks which makes things nice n simple. yes i know they are a bit of a resource hog :rolleyes: but that isnt an issue for me and its not so much that you would really notice anyway ;)
