Yes it is possible. Hack the root password on the box, rewrite the ruleset,
and then load the ruleset. But ya know, I think that possibility has always
existed.

Subject: Completely Bypassing a Firewall?!

We just heard a rumor about our rival company, that they have developed a
"system" that can completely bypass a properly-configured/locked-down
firewall (netfilter or any other).

Is this truly possible? with only external access and no software that's
already been planted inside the firewall?
