firewalls are the stupidest invention I've ever heard of |
| joebobjoe |
it should be up to each host to protect itself |

yes, the internet was designed in atime when everyone on the network was trusted. |
| joebobjoe |
you don't need to be on a trusted network to get rid of firewalls.. just protect yourself |
| joebobjoe |
what's the problem? |

ident (and some other unix ideas) came crashing down once it didn't cost $100,000 to become root any more. |

the firewall *is* protection |
| joebobjoe |
I'll give you my ipv6 address and disable the firewall on my router |

Guest90 (~Guest90@188.26.8.249) has quit (Client Quit) |
| self |
and then what |
| joebobjoe |
you can't do shit |
| joebobjoe |
because my host isn't stupid |
| self |
are you sure |
| joebobjoe |
and it's operator isn't |
| joebobjoe |
yea my ssh is protected with a key |
| joebobjoe |
firewalling just stops people from being able to connect with each other |

believe it or not vulnerabilities in the TCP/IP stack are fairly common, and a firewall protects client machines from them. :) |
| joebobjoe |
it's a way for big companies to remain in charge |

| Affliction |
HAHA |
| Affliction |
