Just black all the AOL servers corresponding to login.oscar.aol.com by
IP not by port.

Subject: [FW-1] [fw-1] Instant Messenger bypass FW-1

Folks,

I came to know about an article of Gartner saying that their are some IM
bypassing Firewall by scanning open ports.
Has anybody tested this CP FW-1 NG? I am afraid if this is a problem
with FW-1!!!


 Firewall Bypass Technology


 AOL's Instant Messenger has a uniquely slippery client that is
 designed to bypass firewall port blocking technology, making the
 product easy to configure from behind a firewall. For example, the
 AOL client will use any available port, scanning even those reserved
 for domain naming system (DNS) lookup. This technology enables
 unsophisticated users to sneak past a firewall with relative ease,
 effectively establishing breaches in the corporate firewall.
