General Musing

I was reading my backlog from LinuxDevices and came across a Windows firewall squeezed into USB key. It works by placing a driver between the Windows TCP/IP stack and the device driver; wifi, ethernet, tokenring, etc. The data is routed through the USB key as is goes to and from the internet to the pc.

It contains:

• Anti-Spam
• Anti-phishing
• Antispyware
• Antivirus
• Parent control system
• Transparent email proxies (POP3; SMTP)
• Transparent web proxies (HTTP; FTP)
• Intrusion detection system
• Intrusion prevention system
• Firewall
• Adaptive security policy
• Multi-layer security agent (Patent pending)
• “Layer-8″ security engine (Patent pending)
