7.9 Anti-Probing
If an outside user attempts to probe an unsupported port on your ZyWALL, an ICMP response
packet is automatically returned. This allows the outside user to know the ZyWALL exists.
The ZyWALL supports anti-probing, which prevents ZyWALL ICMP response packet from
being sent. This keeps outsiders from discovering your ZyWALL when unsupported ports are
probed.
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is a message control and error-reporting protocol
between a host server and a gateway to the Internet. ICMP uses Internet Protocol (IP)
datagrams, but the messages are processed by the TCP/IP software and directly apparent to the
application user.
