1. i wanted to know names of some good free proxy servers and also how to configure Mozilla for the same.
2. how to know that all my data is going through the proxy. can any tool like 'tcpdump' help ?
2. also how to get the Internet Firewall working( i am using RH 8.0 ).
3. how to know whether the firewall is working or not. any tools ?
4. One last question, i know i shouldnt be asking on this list, but then i am sure many people on this list use windows. i got infected by 'msblast.exe' and my Windows Management Instrumentation(WMI) seems to be screwed up, for which i cannot activate internet firewall( so i cant download DCOM patch from microsoft site ) nor can i do a system restore. my windows partition(Windows XP Professional) is disconnected from the internet and i have removed all traces of msblast.exe( ie /windows/system32 and registry ) but WMI just doesnt seem to work. Any suggestions ??

See logs (you have those, right?).

Format, reinstall, download all relevant patches on another system, copy to XP, apply. Put another box as packet filtering firewall in between, then a second box with ALGs for all your protocols, then the XP box.

use iptables. Then install a front end. A decent text based front end is shorewall. It has commands lookup the shorewall website (I think www.shorewall.net). There is a GUI front end called BiFrost which does status monitoring of firewall also, but it uses web-based interface so you have to run apache and a webserver I think.

should've used zone alarm pro with windows as a firewall, it blocks all ports whenever there is an attack that matches their databases and then automatically adds parameters to the system restore point. I once tried to run an ssh server on cygwin and zone alarm thought it was a trojan attack and froze all my ports and crashed my compu as a "safety measure".

A frontend? vim makes for a good frontend. As does emacs. Both need you to have some clue with firewalls, and clueless admins should no be running firewalls.

Shorewall has scripts and binaries that set up the rules in iptables. That's what I meant. Have to use firewalls... no choice in the US. Too many port scanners running amok.
