:: SYNdefender is disabled on the Nokia/Checkpoint firewall. Nokia's response :: after seeing the results of the scan has been that SYNdefender is still :: functional even if we disable it and valid authorized scans won't be :: allowed from the firewall as that is a product limitation! The most vocal piece of feedback I gave to CheckPoint back when I used their FW-1 products was to provide a Big Red Button(tm) to disable all of the SmartDefense functionality. It was never made very clear to me, as the admin, when those things kicked-in, and how they would effect my traffic flow. I haven't used FW-1 in the last 12 months, so this might have been addressed, but I can't say for sure. Cheers - Erick
