Then this would not be much of a useful question now would it?
Secondly, the only service in that list that I would definitely want
to drop on is netbios as it a) probably should not be traversing the
firewall in the first place, and b) I would not want the firewall sending
explicit reject would for every netbios packet that happens to be
generated. As a result, netbios is still the correct answer.
