I canīt find any tests using hacking atempts for "hardware" firewalls. Do
you know if there are any published?

The advantage with using a "hardware" firewall is that it works on a
separated and more secured OS??

Itīs the same thing as placing a 386 with Linux and a software firewall
between internet and the pc you use?

I thought that for outbound threats perhaps an antitrojan or antivirus will
be well enough.

Thanks!
