Re: [FW-1] yahoo blocking



You can block Yahoo, AOL, ICQ, and MS messengers with 2 rules, 1 that blocks
the default ports, and 1 that blocks traffic from the Yahoo and MS servers
involved. I recommend putting all the servers in a group for this second
rule. Blocking only the default ports isn't enough, because messenger
services spawn messages on ports typically open thru the firewall (80, 25,
etc) until they find one that lets the messages thru. The tricky part is
getting all the servers into this group. These guys change IPs on occasion,
so you have to stay on top of it, checking your logs every now and then.
Using the log viewer, you can isolate the IPs involved. An easy way to do
this is by first disabling the rule that blocks default ports, then
filtering for traffic on these ports.

Below is a list of servers to block. This list was current a couple of
months ago.

Subject: [FW-1] yahoo blocking


Hi all,
I'm trying to block Yahoo Messenger on our network and found the FAQ
relating to this topic:  http://www.phoneboy.com/faq/0367.html. I am newbie
to checkpoint and was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to explain
and give examples of how its setup especially with the point:  "Exclude
access to key servers via a URI Resource".

Many Thanks
Tyler
