RE: [FW1] Blocking ICMP



Yes you can run a port scan against IP addresses. You do not need a ping reply. I can block ping reply from a Web server but port 80 will still respond since it is a web server.

Juan,

I would have to disagree with that.  There are ways to run scans on machines that don't response to ping.  It makes the scan run longer, but it will look for any and all ports on all addresses within the range you set.

People can't attack what they can't see/detect.

How does blocking ICMP make my firewall more secure?
