Subject: Natted IRC "inherently insecure"?
Date: Thu, 04 Jul 2002 07:42:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D243492.6090408@tampabay.rr.com> (raw)


Someone recently indicated to me that they believed that natting IRC 
through a firewall was "inherently insecure" and I wanted to get 
opinions on that statement.  I guess, in my mind, it isn't any more or 
less secure than any other service natted through the firewall - it all 
depends on how comfortable you feel with the inherent security of the 
client/tool that you're using.

Comments?
