The Windows XP ICF filters only inbound packets.What are the advantages of not checking outgoing packets? What are the disadvantages?
What will be an ideal response?
The overwhelming majority of outgoing packets are legitimate. It would slow down
the system unnecessarily to filter all of them. It also makes little sense to compare outgoing
packets against a flow table (or prompt the user for permission), because a legitimate user
(e.g.a person surfing the Internet) would send packets to many different locations.The pitfall
is that if a Trojan Horse program gained access to the computer, it could send information
about the computer unhindered.
