Getting into more enterprise-level firewall appliances would certainly
do the job. But if you have one of those popular Linksys/Netgear
firewall/routers in the $100 range, I think a little kludgeness and
Alas it IS the Linksys/Netgear boxes that are under current attack.
Mostly it is a Denial Of Service attack, but a day trader wouldn't
like that.
Properly setup firewalls are not penetrated by hackers, but those
require a bit more than a store purchase. I use cheap "obsolete"
computers, since they do not need to be much faster than the line
speed.
