Windows Firewall Control 6.18.0.0 by Razvan Serea Windows Firewall Control is a nifty little application which extends the functionality of the Windows Firewall and provides quick access to the most frequent options of Windows Firewall. It runs in the system tray and allows user to control the native firewall easily without having to waste time by navigating to the specific part of the firewall. This is the best tool to manage the native firewall from Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Server 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012. Malwarebytes acquired Windows Firewall Control in June of 2018. Binisoft Windows Firewall Control will quickly integrate into the Malwarebytes platform, which simplifies the deployment and ongoing management of security solutions. Following the acquisition, the full-featured edition of Windows Firewall Control has been re-released at absolutely no cost (the notifications system is now available for free and the program does not require activation anymore). Windows Firewall Control offers four filtering modes which can be switched with just a mouse click: High Filtering - All outgoing connections are blocked. This setting blocks all attempts to connect to and from your computer. Medium Filtering - Outgoing connections that do not match a rule are blocked. Only programs you allow can initiate outgoing connections. Low Filtering - Outgoing connections that do not match a rule are allowed. You can block the programs you do not want to initiate outgoing connections. No Filtering - Windows Firewall is turned off. Avoid using this setting unless you have another firewall running on your computer. Program Features: Intuitive and easy accessible interface in the system tray, next to the system clock. Full support with standard user accounts. Elevated privileges are required only at installation. Disable the ability of other programs to add Windows Firewall rules. Multiple and easier ways of creating new rules in Windows Firewall. Integrated support of creating, modifying and deleting Window Firewall rules. Lock feature which can disable the access to the settings of the program and Windows Firewall. Shell integration into the right click context menu of the executable files. Display invalid rules with the possibility to delete them very quickly. Merge multiple similar rules or duplicate existing ones. Search for executable files through folders and create new rules in seconds. View recently allowed and blocked connections and create new rules from the Security log. Choose if you want the program to start at user log on. Import, export and restore all firewall rules or just the selected rules. Protection to unauthorized uninstallation. Possibility to restore previous settings at uninstallation. Global hot keys are supported and various shortcut keys are available. And many, many more. Just try it out. Other specific features: Notifications System which provides notifications for outbound blocked connections. Four modes available: High - Display notifications for all outgoing connections that were blocked, including System and svchost.exe. Medium - Display notifications only for regular programs, without notifications for System and svchost.exe. Low - Automatically allow digitally signed programs. Notifications are displayed only for unsigned programs. Disabled - Notifications are disabled. Create temporary rules which are automatically deleted when they expire or on program restart. Windows Firewall Control 6.18.0.0 changelog: Updated: Revisited the whole UI to properly display when text size is increased from 100% at operating system level.

GNOME devs say sysadmin "smeared the project" with Evolution Mail privacy report by David Uzondu Last week, Mike Cardwell, a sysadmin, wrote about his experience reporting a privacy issue in the Evolution email client. If you missed that, here's a quick summary: he found out that Evolution leaks user activity through a feature called DNS prefetching. When he reported it, the GNOME developers referred him to a bug in an upstream library, WebKit, and closed his ticket. An email can include a link HTML tag with the rel attribute set to dns-prefetch and a cross-origin domain in the href attribute. This tells the browser or email client to resolve the domain’s IP address ahead of time. Normally, for any remote content, WebKitGTK (the web rendering engine Evolution uses) is supposed to emit a signal called WebPage::send-request. This lets Evolution's code decide whether to block the connection based on the "Load Remote Content" setting, which when disabled is supposed to stop trackers and other nasties from phoning home. The bug here is that for these prefetch requests, WebKit just goes ahead and makes the DNS query without sending that signal. This bypasses Evolution's privacy defenses completely. So a sender can see if you opened their email, when you opened it, and the IP of your DNS resolver without you ever consenting. As Michael Catanzaro, a WebKit developer, noted in the bug thread, the enable-dns-prefetching setting Evolution uses to disable this has been deprecated since version 2.48, thus no longer respected by the engine. This is where things get interesting. The developers' position was that since the bug is in a library they use, it is not their problem to fix inside Evolution. Milan Crha, an Evolution developer, took the time to explain that "applications use libraries, applications have their dependencies", and that a fix has to happen in the right place. But Cardwell got annoyed, seeing this as a refusal to take responsibility for their own product. He claimed it was the responsibility of the GNOME devs to protect their users, and provided a list of actions the team could take while waiting for an upstream fix: Warn people about the problem, either in the UI or on the download page. Push the upstream project to fix the library. Fork the library and fix it themselves. Switch to a different library. The back and forth got ugly after Cardwell discovered an even worse flaw using a link tag with rel set to preconnect, which leaks a user's actual IP address, not just their DNS server's. He notified the developers that he added it to Email Privacy Tester, a tool he created to find exactly these kinds of issues. But the GNOME developers did not appreciate his "passive-aggressive" attitude or his public posts. One developer accused him of "smearing of the project" with the posts on his blog, called him "entitled", and said his reporting was "counterproductive and frankly demotivating." This story has found an end (for now), as the developers have locked the thread, with Cardwell claiming it was because he "hurt their feelings". The bug in WebKit, first reported in August 2023, remains open. -
