Subject: Empirical data surrounding guards and firewalls.

All,

Evol would like to share empirical data gained today.  Evol believes this
make internet community much happy, and make the Mr. Peter not regulate.
So what happened?  Evol explains:

Target:
------
	-Firewall
	-McDonald's guard

Materials:
---------
	-(1) Evol
	-(1) Shoes
	-(1) Shirt
	-(1) Computer
	-(1) Internet connection
	-(1) Firewalled host

Procedure:
---------
For each target, undergo the following steps:

	1.) Enumerate an acceptable entrance policy.
	2.) Attempt to enter while following entrance policy.

Data:
-----
	Firewall:
	--------
		The firewall at internet host www.mcdonalds.com accepts
		connections to TCP/IP port 80.  Rules are similar to 'DENY
		ALL EXCEPT TCP PORT 80'  So make connection to port 80 and
		note results.
	Results:
	-------
		Normal transaction was accepted.  See results:

		HTTP/1.1 400 Bad request
		Server: Netscape-Enterprise/4.1
		Date: Thu, 02 Sep 2004 XX:XX:XX GMT
		Content-length: 147
		Content-type: text/html
		Connection: close

	Store:
	-----
		The store at the location closest to me was chosen as a
		specific target.  The entrance policy is:
		'IF (NOT SHOES) OR (NOT SHIRT) DENY'
		So, evol enters store with only shoes and a shirt.

	Data:
	----
		Evol was rejected conduction of normal buisness.  No
		Big Mac today, get out!  Then, when Evol tries to
		proceed anyway, cops take Evol out of McDonalds.

	Conclusion:
	----------
		People and firewalls are different.

Thanks Internet Community, hope much hapiness for you.
