Hi, This is with respect to a query raised by one our customer. The customer has a scenario where they are using a Check Point firewall with a well known IDS. The customer has the FTP service blocked to&fro from their network. But it is recently observed that some on the internal users have started downloading stuff from some FTP sites using anonymous proxies and site services such as those offered by www.safeproxy.org. I think this is via the HTTP tunnelling to such sites thereby passing FTP data. As an admin I know there can be a list of known anonymous sites which can be blocked on the firewall or using on a URL filtering device. But my concern is can the firewall block such type of tunnelling/evasion where by unauthorized/malicious data can enter ones network. Is there any service on the firewall which can detect such sessions. Requesting consideration/feedback. Please revert.
