Re: [Full-disclosure] reduction of brute force log

[Bob Radvanovsky <rsradvan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am going to test these rules out -- this looks REALLy good!  But...I've got 
just ONE question: why on Earth would you permit ICMP???

And what significances are ports 50, 51, 1599, 1600 and 1601?  443 and 80 are 
HTTP-S and HTTP (respectively), 123 is NTP -- I realize that, but what are 
these others ports used for?
