Sean Donelan wrote: Should ISPs start blocking all Microsoft protocols in self-defense? All of my routers block netbios, DHCP, and packets with improper source addresses. But then I'm spending router memory and CPU cycles many people don't have. Since many of users install database products just for local use, whyI don't think it's so much of a problem of programs opening listen sockets as it is a problem of admins not properly controlling their networks and a certain software company pushing insecure features like printing over the internet that refuse to work from behind a firewall and have no direct proxy support.
