    No i was not thinking of anything unethical. He could have inspected the
    .core file before sending it.

    However, I doubt an ipfw core file would contain sensitive information
    (like passwords and etc). What could it contain, the ACL? The ACL is not
    secret and who cares anyway?

    I'm just interested in possible firewall bugs.
