Actually I was calling you fat and ugly, but that's okay.

getting old

When you get married and have a kid, you've got to stop living on the edge. Turn your powers toward good instead of evil.

Heh learn evil to combat evil, Seimens in Ontario is having a competition this weekend... Crack thier new security and win $15,000 free t3 internet for life and a 120 gig server for life.....

Turning to evil half these evil's will get jobs, kids unknown....

cracking competitions

Those cracking competitions represent unrealistic scenarios. People don't bust throught the firewall because the firewall is weak. People bust through because the server app behind the firewall is weak or they find a way to go around the firewall completely. These contests are just for the publicity. They have no relation to real life use.

Maybe you can recommend they hire someone to help write up their web pages, then. Their technology may or may not be good, but with the kind of language they're using to pimp it I'd never bother actually getting a sample to find out.

Now, I think what they're selling is just a proxy server. No big deal, one way or another. But they try to make it sound like they've found the Holy Grail of network security (it already exists; it's called "wire cutters"). What they're doing isn't really new (Symantec's Raptor firewall, as an example, has been around quite a while). Their main selling point doesn't sound much (if any) different from IEEE 802.1x.

They also don't seem familiar with the concept of VLANs...

Marketing Hype

Yes. All Marketing Hype starts to sound alike after a while. But, the reality is that the technology is different from existing firewalls and VLANs. However, it doesn't do anything that you could not currently do with a combination of other products and the proper configuration. It just does it with one box which makes it easier (in many cases cheaper too), especially if you need to beef up an existing network.
