| If the following registry values do not exist or are not configured as specified, this is a finding: Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Subkey: \SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\DomainProfile\Logging\ Value Name: LogDroppedPackets Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1 Value Name: LogFilePath Type: REG_SZ Value: %systemroot%\domainfw.log Value Name: LogFileSize Type: REG_DWORD Value: 16384 (or greater) Value Name: LogSuccessfulConnections Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1 Automated tools may search for the file name "domainfw.log". If the site uses a different name for the log file, the finding will need to be closed manually. If the system is not a member of a domain, the Domain Profile requirements can be marked NA. If a third-party firewall is used, verify a comparable setting has been implemented. The Remote Endpoint STIG contains additional firewall requirements for systems used remotely. |
