Re: secure topologies - smtp/dns/whois/....



hi ya

gazillion different solutions for "secure topologies" that
depends on time, $$$$ and machines available, skillset and
what you're protecting against

c ya
alvin

-- you need backups ... :-)

-- disallow insecure services even behind the firewall
	( telnet, ftp, pop3/imap, dhcp, wireless
     use  ssh, scp, pop3s/imaps, static ip, gw+fw instead

-- use different login for different services
	- email addy should NOT be your ssh login's

	- vpn login should be different ( you.vpn )
	- ppp login should be different ( you.ppp )
	- wireless login should be diff ( you.wireless )

-- use multiple firewalls 
	- use a secured/hardened/well designed "firewall"

	- harden all servers and services as if the firewall did NOT exist

	- one dmz ... www, mail, dns, ntp server, other external services
			( probably natting fw )
	- 2nd dmz ... vpn, ssh login server ??
	- 3rd dmz ... wireless
	- 4th dmz ... local lan 
	- 4th dmz ... hr/payroll/acct payable/acct receivable

	- if you're using only one firewall ..
		- gt a 386PC and make a 2nd firewalll
		for internal machines separated from outside www/dns/mail


	-- too much firewall and gateway ??? donno ... 
	( depends on cleints paranoia level and what is the consequences
	( WHEN  a [cr/h]acker gets thru
