Security
Noptec Interceptor is a tool for monitoring network traffic to and from applications running under Qtopia. The monitoring hooks are installed between Qtopia and the network libraries. Any traffic originating from, or destinated for, processes outside of Qtopia is currently not handled.
There is no technical reason why this could not be done, but the levels of comlexity rise considerably, while not much is gained in terms of security.

This has to do with the fact that everything on the Zaurus currently runs as user "root" and any process has access to everything. This also means that a program specifically designed to circumvent the Interceptor will have no difficulties in doing so. The Interceptor is not a firewall, nor is it possible to create a secure firewall for the Zaurus.
