Greetings:
I always wondered if there was a way to program a firewall (not an IDS!) on a
NIC,,,,Alot of benefit could be achieved, such as:
1.Ease the load on the processor.
2.An ASM based firewall is hard to crack.
3.Operating systems become a bit further from the attack
I know 3com makes something like i mentioned, but they charge like 150$+...
Could anybody comment on the subject, maybe give me some guidlines.
thanx in advance
