Security Basics: Re[2]: Home PC Networking

[gmx <pal_adam () gmx net>]

Hello krymson,

I wont trust the logs of Norton Firewall (i dont trust Norton Firewall
at all, but thats another issue), so i would let a sniffer run, i
think wireshark can be configured to log only connectins to 49152.
Since Norton is embeded in Windows, i guess, when Norton or
another in-windows-implemented software try to phone home that way,
wont be logged.
