The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Sniff Packets to remove Blacklist entries from CBL etc...

Asked by kshays in Network Security, Network Switches & Hubs

Firewall:  Smoothwall 2.0
Switches: Dlink (orange, green)
Servers: Windows 2000/2003 and Linux(Debian)
Workstations: (Windows XP sp2)
Email Server:  Exchange Server 2003

Diagram:
                                     Cisco Router
                                              |
             Smothwall Firewall (Red nic, Orange nic, Green nic)
                                                             |                   |
                                                            Switch         Switch
                                                             |                   |
                                                          DMZ            LAN
                                                             |                   |
                                                       Servers     Workstations

The firewall server has three nics.  
- Red = Outside (cat5 from cisco router goes to this nic)
- Orange = DMZ (cat5 from 2nd nic goes to Dlink switch for dmz servers)
- Green = LAN (cat5 from 3rd nic goes to Dlink switch for workstations and other servers)

What I am trying to do is narrow down which system sent out the email (infected by either a virus/spamware/trojan/malware) and got our public IP on the blacklist.  The RED nic is set to the public IP that we was given and all workstations inside the LAN are translated into this address when visiting anything on the internet.

Where is the best place and how to place a simple hub so I can capture the packets to see if there is a zombie or bot somewhere that could be using port 25.  The hub is a really old 10m with a normal/uplink switch to use.

Thanks,

Kevin
