Web-Filtering

Most Web-savvy kids to know more about the game site, the web site, chat rooms Rooms, illegal downloading and hacking sites, the ultimate than I know. I teach computer science to 17 -1 8-year-old girl, so I think they do. They always surfing the Internet to avoid the real things I try to teach them.

In the previous life, as a companys network administrator, I have a vested interest in people away from the site, and they should not visit. Network filters software is in its initial stage, in the late 1990s, so it is not so effective.

Course, it must have signs of an upturn now, the smart new ways of restricting access Based on the policy, the ad hoc members , IP addresses and other new methods fragmented, isolated and division groups. Here, we tested a number of latest and the greatest check on the state of art.

Websense company Web Security Suite of Websense Web Security Suite is the first time in our tests. Download this visibility solution is enormous. Installation is simple, but quite intense. 1 point, it is issued a stern warning: "Do not hit the Finish button." Listen to the installation of warning. I jumped the gun and found that it does the link "br> has not been completed. Click on the Finish button and then inform you that it to install.


company Websense Web Security Suite Redmond rating document 10% 6.0 installation 20 percent 8.0 feature set , 20% 8.0 Performance # 160 20% 3.0 Management # 160 10% 8.0 filter update 20% 7.0 overall rating: 6.6 -------------- key: 1: almost impossible to use or does not exist 5: On average, full implementation of 10: Special Once installed Websense after all, need another 400 MB or download URL filtering database. The idea is that you can not only filter specific words and patterns, but also known objectionable websites. You must have at database, and periodically updated to be visible to the Websense latest and the greatest place the URL of a block .

Websense a good company to you, check your filter particles (called categories Set Websense companies). Once the filter list now, I did some testing×ßÂí¹Û»¨ left that day. I feel fairly confident, not my children will be able to to hit any of the sites I have tried to stop.

Next day, I went to find a bunch of angry children. They are unable to obtain MySpace or World of Warcraft site, run their Trillian IM client, or even come out Yahoo Mail to I was just wanting to do so. I checked back in about an hour later, am sure that they d still sake of the people. They are happy and away from the surf .

Next morning, we have a little "How can we break through brambles and thorns, Websense" meeting.

Come to understand that there are a considerable number of well-known work arounds "Websense censorware," The kids found a convenient tool let them get back online 10 minutes in the wake.

[Click image to enlarge. ] Figure 1. Websense company has an intuitive interface and configuration dashboard through it, you It can control the filter and permits.

"Proxy tax," the so-called toonel.org site is responsible for helping children break through. They simply download toonel client components, install it in their computers, and thumbed his nose at Websense. When I Websenses notice of the situation, their response is this: "Websense Client Policy Manager [Abstract] and Websense Web Security Suite -L ockdownE dition resistance capability blocking applications is the case. We have increased this special program to our application databases, as an agent and we avoid Application filtering, now pick this action, and to prevent launch plans.

At the same time, we classify applications, it may be blocked, if customers are using CPM or Websense Security Suite - L ockdownE dition in order to block Uncategorized applications. CPM or use of Websense Web Security Suite - closed version is a layered approach to security to protect gateways, network In such circumstances, in the endpoint. In addition, we use reporting tools, network administrators can see the machines avoidance to the client site, then delete the applicant users. " Websense When I told the representative, I was told that a considerable portion Dangao Websense found, was discovered about children. It is not surprising. It seems like only significance Websense actively try to avoid the potential threat .

For those machines have toonel customers to the board of directors, the company Websense Database updates are null and void. Each machine must have separate customer removed. Interestingly, toonel not work on the Vista machines. Toonel use Circular adapter address and port 8080 as a proxy avoidance mechanism.

From a long-term or short-term, it is my favorite Websense for its ease of installation and configuration , as well as their relative intuitive management interface. Link "br> Sometimes, I think, a web site devoted to lock, but there is a difficult time set to determine which category of the URL. In addition, I modified Block, a show that the blockade When someone tries to touch on the website, but I Laws did not appear.

In addition, it appears that Websense is written mainly, if not entirely, in the Java language.

I am not a huge Fan Java, because I think its too much of a CPU classical swine fever. Websense company would be better if it is in writing. NET code, we can avoid baggage Java has brought Windows server.

This is a bit surprising, I see someone will soon be mission must pass filters. This points to how security administrators to take the initiative, but it has also brought a the forefront to enormous problems, network filtering software to solve the problems. Where there is a will, theres a way.

SurfControls website Filter SurfControl The installation process has been followed for construction Wizard of nice words. This is very easy interface with Active Directory and the right to work. The products use SQL server and database Express version can be installed, if you do not link "br> a copy of SQL local operation.

I try twice and in both cases the adoption by SurfControl configuration, but then refused service started. I have never been a fan of across-the-board network devices SQL Anyway, I double-bagged in fact installed to the computer running SQL Server. Installed fine.

In another machine, I discussed by SurfControls version of the installation.

I expect software to living in the ground, awaiting installation, but It is native to bundle SurfControl installation package.

The filtering database is set to automatically download. This is sweet, fast food . NET code running quickly and well. SurfControl column shows the progress behind the configuration window, so when you download filtering database, you can not really tell What programme is doing so. This is only a small annoyance, though.

SurfControl is easy to install, configure and run. However, I encountered a problem I will not be easily overcome in my test configuration. Although an independent Windows version of SurfControl, which requires a downstream enterprise-class firewall proactively block users. However, if you just do a little work block and you do not have any local firewall? If you are relying on The enterprise firewall, in order to ensure your safety? [Click image to enlarge. ] Figure 3. SurfControls website filters and Active Directory, and after installation through an easy-to-use wizard.

SurfControl support, the staff told me that I have to put my all nodes of a hub, or attached to a switch to promiscuously loading port.

Even if I was in the classroom users a working group "firewall" (69 yuan of the kind, nor DHCP and the number of poor people at the block), I can not SurfControl work and correct.

complex cure rate for a complex world For those you who do not believe that the more in-depth education in the network filter software, and not just to join in the selection of hope wizard will lead you step by step to complete harmony, you will be better, and to do your homework first. This -class software has undergone a series of improvements now rivals the case of the Space Shuttle cockpit complexity and capabilities. The current raft of software films, dry, makes Julian fries, and after the removal of the kitchen .

that I mean that some filtering network security package including the so-called zero-day threats.

zero day, this is a period of time when a threat has launched , but security software folks do not know that it therefore , and did not prepare any eradication, containment and weaken or quarantine methodology.

this concept, there is a code of completed products help it identify unusual activities are still in progress, assuming it malicious, and to take steps to do something about. Apart from the zero-day monitoring of Websense Client Policy Manager (CPM), help and other security issues spyware, the threat of peer-to-peer, virus outbreaks and IM Dangao.

Other filtering companies to review here has a similar capacity. -- B. Hourly in previous work, as a server administrator, we Ran SurfControl, like it a lot.

It worked well, and keep folks from the abyss of suffering. I have always been a big fan of the product.

, On the other hand, the use of Internet monitoring is a moderately expensive proposition - especially when you think that you also need a box I SA, in fact do any network filter. In addition, I think, customer support experience could have been better than it is now.

Overall, I was impressed by the way the installation and operation of the code - now, if it just want to prevent a user or two stand-alone mode.

Secure Computing Corporation Intelligent filters Intelligent filter has the possibility of installing a large number. To run it opposes Cisco PIX or on a Sun Java server? There is no problem.

Others, not an independent position in the version here.

I chose to download and evaluation Intelligent filter Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 - a I error in the evaluation process. Although I created an effective "allow all " firewall policy, neighborhoods, and perhaps I, I can not fight against the use of the Internet ISA at the box office as an alternative.

I went through the standard Microsoft TechNet ", in order to solve this problem download and install ISA 2004 SP1" things on the TechNet Web site is no to solve the problem. Intelligent filter software itself installed everything will be just fine, itself is an add-in to ISA. Trouble is the same.

I was very impressed with the products to download and install, although I would have liked a separate version, without taking into consideration for Isa. Why It was not the invention of a practical network filtering process, and does not require additional cerebral circulation time and the production of a first-class firewall ? I do not have it it. Let me say that the DHCP configuration options adjustment to point to frame, the use of NAT it, regardless.

Children quickly told me that they can be easily obtained over the past Bess, but the original is the use of passwords has been to them people must be tired of them complaining about failed to hit its Gmail and MySpace website.

From a cost point of view, a filter is smart will become more reasonable than the company or Websense SurfControl the. In addition, customer support, from the safety of the calculation is very good.

One of the cooler features of the filtering products SmartFilter, is let you give temporary access, so that people can go around the filter, and They prompt Show at the scene.

Parting bonds these days, and create and update the list of the new URL filtering, is regularly is no longer an effective model.ÓÐÌ«¶àµÄÍøÕ¾´æÔÚ£¬²¢ÇÒ#160#160±äÊýÌ«¶à£¬½è³öÑÏÖصÄÐÅÓþ£¬ÒÔÕâÖÖ·½·¨¡£ #160 #160#160 #160#160 Èç¹ûÎÒÍüÁËÏÂÔصµ°¸£¿Èç¹ûÎҵķþÎñÆ÷²»ÄÜÁ¬½Óµ½#160#160ÔÚÒòÌØÍøÉϵĵµ°¸¼ìË÷ʱ¼ä£¿Èç¹û»¹´æÔÚ¸÷ÖÖ²»Í¬µÄ·½Ê½#160#160̽¾¿ÄÚÈÝδ¾­¹ýÂË·þÎñÆ÷²»ÖªÇéÂð£¿ÄÇÀïÓÐ#160#160ÒÅÖö-ÏÖÔÚÓÐÒ»ÖÖ·½·¨¡£Èç¹ûÓÐÈËÏë¹¥»÷¹ýÂËÆ÷ÑÏÖز»×ã#160#160ÓÐȨÀûµÄ¼¼Êõ¼¼ÄÜ£¬ËûÃǺÜÓпÉÄÜ»ñµÃ×öµ½ÕâÒ»µã¡£ Èç¹ûÄãÈÏÕæµØ¿¼ÂÇÍøÂç¹ýÂËÈí¼þ£¬ÈÏʶµ½£¬Äã»á#160#160Òª×÷Ò»¸ö´óµÄͶ×ʽṹ£¬ÊǷdz£»ý¼«µÄ#160#160 ¹ØÓÚ²âÊԺͱ¨¸æ±äͨ·½·¨¡£×îÖÕ£¬ÄãÐèÒªÓÐËù×¼±¸#160#160×èÖ¹´ó¼Ò´ÓÉ¢ÍøÃñÔÚÊг¡ÓªÏúÖУ¬ÒÔÐÁÇڵĺËÐÄ#160#160ÂÝÐý½°Ê½Í·½ÚÄ¿¡£
