Hey true believers (used to love that in the Spidey comics as a kid).

A paper by PhilK & I on the Windows Vista Firewall - Microsoft Vista Firewall; Dissected - (Phil did the heavy lifting on this one) is now up on SANS in their Reading Room.

You should find some interesting things you might not be aware of, including policy management & distribution and how to skirt past the beast - even without being an administrator.

Please feel free to drop a note in the comments here on what you liked/disliked, if you have corrections or would like to share your observations on the security tool-de rigeur in Microsoft's latest desktop OS.
