ITEC 610 Week 9

I am so excited. I just finished my mini-project. I decided to do my mini-project on the ability to disable the firewall settings on my work laptop to access instant messaging applications like gtalk, aim, and msn messenger while connecting via VPN. I've known about the loophole for over a year. I'm in shock that I even have the ability to do it. I feel that only system administrators should have the ability to change and update security settings. I do know that other employees can do this on their company laptops as well. This is a loop hole that needs to be fixed ASAP because disabling the firewall can allow other intrusions to take place.

I'm glad that this semester is almost over with. I'm ready for a little break.
