4 - An L7 switch also understands every other TCP/IP protocol so changes to the programming could again mean it could read data on any other port.
35 - inspects only text/html, but what if other flags were put in there instead. It will start inspecting them
36 - again whitelists - change the content of the whitelist and you change what is profiled
37 - again whitelist of exclude 'basic auth' - take it away and you can profile it.
38 - Webmail. Well my webmail is on port 2096 and 2083 of my server so I guess it is not included in the 'more than 25 sites'. Maybe it will be covered by the 'basic auth' or the 'https' but Phorm can take them away.
43 - So you could probably block Phorm by putting an exclusion on robots.txt but phorm won't tell us what they refer to their bot as, sounds like it will impersonate googlebot (is that allowed).
49 - So they designed the software to ignore zip codes but not post codes, or canadian post codes or or or.
86a - If they can't tell this how can they give feedback to their advertisers?
