Allow applications to use rawsockets
If you use role-based administration:
- You must have the Policy setting - firewall right to configure a firewall policy.
- You cannot edit a policy if it is applied outside your active sub-estate.
Some applications can access a network through rawsockets, which gives them control over all aspects of the data they send over the network.
Malicious applications can exploit rawsockets by faking their IP address or send deliberately corrupt messages.
To allow applications to access the network through rawsockets, follow these steps.
Note This option is not available on Windows 8 and later. The firewall will treat
rawsockets in the same way as ordinary sockets.
If you enable interactive mode, the firewall can display a learning dialog on the endpoint computer when a rawsocket is detected.
