Just changing the headers won't be all that useful in concealing what
you're running.

- I don't think any other products out there run a web server on port
18264 
- If your man types "GET / HTTP/1.0" instead of "?", the result page
includes
"<TITLE>Check Point Certificate Services</TITLE>" in the header, wants
to load a (presumably unique to checkpoint) activex control, and ends
with a PKCS # 7 certificate.

Even if you get every overt reference to checkpoint out of the results,
that's all pretty distinctive.  So I guess, examine the value of
concealing the presence of a checkpoint firewall.  If it seems worth it,
either allow the service manually, or just drop it at a border router.

Cheers
