Subject: ICMP: What should be blocked?
Date: Wed, 05 Mar 2003 16:09:57 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3E65A2C5.3030007@mega-bucks.co.jp> (raw)

I been googling the web trying to find what rules I should set up for 
ICMP but I've seen some people say one thing while other say something 
completely different.

One question I have not been able to find an answer to though, should I 
block ICMP messages of type 11 (TTL exceeded)?

Also if anyone knows of a good resource that explains what ICMP messages 
I should block (why and how :) could they let me know? I understand that 
it of course depends on my level of paranoia and how friendly I want to 
be to the rest of the net, but I get the feeling from my readings that 
the are some ICMP messages that just should not be let through a 
firewall ....

Thanks,

Jc
