Chapter 6, Problem 4RQ
Program Plan Intro
Firewall:
A firewall is security software which imposes a set of protocols to prevent specific types of data from moving among trusted and untrusted level of networks.
Packet filtering firewall:
It is a network device from the types of firewall, which examines header of packets that transmits into a network and finds whether to drop it or forward it through next network based on its rules.
- It has separate subsets such as static packet filtering and dynamic packet filtering.
Static packet filtering:
It is a firewall, which requires configuration rules to be physically made, sequenced and altered within the firewall.
Dynamic packet filtering:
It is a firewall, which can control network traffic and make or alter the configuration rules to adapt.

What is the distinction between blocking and nonblocking with respect to messages?
DNS makes use of UDP rather than TCP. If a DNS packet is dropped, there is no way to recover automatically. Is this a problem, and if so, how does one go about resolving it?

- What is the most effective security approach to use with a stateless packet filter?arrow_forwardRemember that packet reordering and reassembly take place during the transport step of the TCP/IP protocol suite. A firewall can operate at a lower level of abstraction, such as the Internet or the data layer. A stateful inspection firewall will not be able to determine anything about a traffic stream if it is out of order or has been deleted.arrow_forwardNote that the TCP/IP protocol suite's transport stage is where reassembly and reordering of packets occurs. A firewall may function at the Internet or data layer level of abstraction. If a traffic stream is corrupted or removed, a stateful inspection firewall will be unable to learn anything about it.arrow_forward
- When it is activated, what does it protect against exactly?The process of filtering packets is governed by a set of criteria that has been specified.arrow_forwardExactly what is meant by the term "random access method," and how do the aforementioned two protocols fall into that category?arrow_forwardDon't forget that the TCP/IP protocol suite's transport stage is where reordering and reassembly of packets occurs. If necessary, a firewall may function at the Internet or data layer level of abstraction. In the event that a traffic stream is out of order or has been erased, a stateful inspection firewall will be unable to learn anything about it.arrow_forward
- A prominent criticism leveled against layered protocols is the apparent overhead introduced by the act of copying that takes place at each stage. What can be done to put an end to the practice of copying?arrow_forwardIt is important to keep in mind that the reordering and reassembly of packets takes place during the transport step of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The Internet or the data layer are two examples of lower levels of abstraction that a firewall is able to function at. If a traffic stream is either out of order or has been deleted, a firewall that uses stateful inspection will be unable to determine anything about the stream's contents.arrow_forwardKeep in mind that the reordering and reassembly of packets occurs during the transport phase of the TCP/IP protocol suite. A firewall's operations may take place at a lower level of abstraction, such as the Internet or the data layer. If a traffic stream is missing or out of order, a stateful inspection firewall will not be able to learn anything about it.arrow_forward
- It is important to sort DNS records based on the kind of record they are. Each one must include a thorough explanation, complete with illustrations and justifications of how it should be used. There is a possibility that a web server and an internal mail server might use the same hostname; however, is this even possible?arrow_forwardDNS records should be sorted according to their record type. Each one has to be defined precisely, with illustrations and explanations of why it's useful. Is it feasible for a web server and an internal mail server to share a hostname?arrow_forwardWhen a web client requests access to protected resources on a web server, demonstrate the step-by-step implementation of native authentication and authorization services. What are the two most convincing reasons why layered protocols should be used? Give examples to back up your point.arrow_forward
