what is useful to one may not be useful to another. ![:) :)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png)
but keeping things distinct,
imho blocking a web site is not the same as blocking malware. For that a good commercial client or gateway product like Trend or Ironport is required. For bandwidth management then have in place a packetshaping solution that allows the control of protocols and traffic type to optimise business related traffic as necessary. the 2820 is an excellent small business device and the solutions above would generally be out of the price range that a small business can afford, hence management control comes to the fore.

So you think Facebook is safe!! One of my many strings is that of an EC Council certified and experienced ethical hacker and I can tell you that Facebook is not completely benign.

Facebook is no more dangerous than any other website - it's HTML and images afterall. The 'issue' if any is the ability to have user submitted content, but thats no more dangerous than say, a web forum.
There are well publicised privacy exploits with facebook but certainly none that will 'own' your PC.

I am not in the habit of teaching people how to perform malicious acts, that is not the purpose of an ethical hacker. My purpose is to highlight the possible dangers and how to not fall foul of them.
It would appear from your sarcastic attitude you doubt my credentials and experience in this matter, for that I care little of your opinion. I do not know you and have no desire to impress you.
If you would like to learn how to perform such malicious attacks anyone can become a script kiddie with very little effort, try google as a starting place and if that is to complicated for you there are some very good youtube tutorials that show you step by step. It is one thing to hack and another to understand what it is you are doing!
:wink:
