  • Subject: Re: Denial of Service, Good for AS/400?

*SNIP
I was wondering if this could happen to an AS/400 web server?
*ENDSNIP

The AS/400 is as vulnerable to denial of service and other types of attacks
as any other web server.  What cannot possibly be done is to write an
OS/400 object that is a virus.  The AS/400 can be a virus carrier on the
IFS so all proper precautions need to be taken for that data.  A good
strategy for defeating these attacks is definitely needed in any Web plan
for the AS/400.  I am toying with using a LINUX firewall for that type of
protection.

Is anyone else using the LINUX firewall in conjunction with an AS/400
installation?
