“Last week, we had a look at the concept of TCP Wrappers from the theoretical
perspective. As we have already mentioned, TCP Wrappers isn’t meant to fulfill the
security measures you would want for an enterprise network. But it surely does fall
into the greater scheme of rule sets that would make up a comprehensive strategy to
protect an enterprise network. The author of TCP Wrappers mentions this stating,
that TCP Wrappers could be made use of along with a firewall box on your
corporate gateway with minimum services running. While building a firewall, we
suggest, that you pipe all the firewall logging off the gateway. Although complicated
to set up, this is the best way to secure your logs incase your firewall machine is
compromised.” From FreeOS.com.
