[FW1] ICMP Stateful or NOT ?
I seem to be reading quite a bit that even 4.X does not use stateful inspection
for ICMP requests. Is this in fact the case, or has CheckPoint corrected this
in the latest releases?
For them to say that ICMP packets are harmless and thus do not require
stateful inspection is beyond belief (having my doubts they actually said this...)
ICMP is a perfect method for tunneling control connections for trojans, or
for sending obscured hashed data containing information you wouldn't like exposed.
