It is a process, that is long and much work, and continual. There is no magic bullet. No one tool, or one answer. In order to securify and protect against these things, some common sense must be employed. For example, using mail clients that don't allow VBscript to run, such as outlook. ( I picked this one because I notice that you are using it ). Also, sending and receiving HTML mail as opposed to plain text ( I also picked this one for obvious reasons ). This can also drastically reduce problems. Sometimes it's the little things that matter. Sometimes we don't have control over things. Using portscan detection, libwrap options, virus stripping programs, attack fingerprint detection software and everything you can think of... that's protection. Not enough, but it's a start. To really securify and protect, you need protection in layers... multiple layers. Reading is the prevention you need. ===== Kevin C.
