detect and block. This ARP spoofing enables hackers to be able to 'sniff' (read)

packets and view any data in transit, to direct traffic to non-existent hardware

causing delays in data transmission or a denial of service on the affected equipment.

Specialized hacker sniffing programs can also intercept traffic, including chat

sessions and related private data such as password entries, names, addresses, and

even encrypted files, by modifying MAC addresses at the Internet gateway.

• Protect my IP addresses from being false reported as used. Detects cases where

two or more hosts share the same IP address. This can be due to an attacker

attempting to gain access to network traffic or block a computer from accessing the

network, but could also happen legitimately where an ISP uses multiple servers for

load-sharing. If enabled, Outpost Firewall Pro blocks ARP replies that have the

same IP (but different MAC's) and thus protects computer from the IP address

duplication consequences.

• Block hosts enumerating other computers on LAN. Limits the number of ARP

requests enumerating IP addresses from one MAC address during a specified time

interval which can imply network scanning. Some massively propagating viruses

use mass host enumeration to hop from one computer to another, infecting them as

they go. This technique is also used by scanners and vulnerability analyzers.

You can also select attacks that Outpost Firewall is to detect and avert. By default Outpost

Firewall handles more than fifteen types of attacks and exploits, but you can choose to not

detect certain attack types in order to eliminate frequent false positive alert messages that

may be appearing if a service in your network, for example, acts like an attack source.
