How does FW-1 deal with a "trojan horse" attack (user downloads a neat program
that opens up a TCP connection to a throwdown server on some freenet somewhere
and lets the perp in that way)? At least with a proxy firewall the trojan horse
would have to be tailored to the specific site under attack...
