    This document discusses firewall security. It begins by explaining the origin of the term "firewall" which referred to a physical wall constructed to halt the spread of fire. It then defines what a firewall means in the context of computer networks - it forms a barrier between trusted and untrusted networks and blocks certain kinds of network traffic. The document goes on to describe the different types of firewalls including packet filtering, stateful, deep packet inspection, application-aware, and application proxy firewalls. It explains the functions and characteristics of each type.

    FIREWALL SECURITY

    BY ;
    PRAMODH AND ADITYA.
    ORIGIN OF FIREWALL :-
     ORIGINALLY REFFERED TO A “WALL” .

     CONSTRUCTED TO HALT SPREAD OF “FIRE”.

     WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANS IN WORLD OF COMPUTER ?

     IT FORMS A “BARRIER”

     BETWEEEN A TRUSTED AND UNTRUSTED NETWORK .

     IT BLOCKS CERTAIN KINDS OF TRAFFIC .

     IT CAN BE A STAND ALONE MACHINE OR SOFTWARE IN A ROUTER OR SERVER


    WHAT IS “FIREWALL SECURTIY” ?

     A firewall is a security policy enforcement point that regulates access between computer networks

     Filters are inherently insecure services

     Controls TCP protocols


    http, smtp, ftp, telnet etc

     TCP:- “TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL”

     ESTABLISHES AND MAINTAINS A NETWORK CONVERSATION.

     TOGETHER TCP AND IP ARE THE BASIC RULES FOR DEFINING THE INTERNET.
    Who do Firewalls Guard Against?
     INTERNAL USERS

     HACKERS

     CORPORATE ESPIONAGE

     TERROISTS

     COMMON THIEVES
    Common Internet Threats :-
     Denial of service attacks
    Specific attacks that can cause a server crash
    Flooding the server with traffic to disrupt or deny service

     Intrusion threats

     Attacks on services/exploits

     The backend server may not be hardened enough for adequate protection, but the firewall can block
    external attacks

     Information threats

     “Viral” threats

     Defacement
    TYPES OF FIREWALL SECURITY:-

    1. PACKET FILTERING FIREWALL

    2. STATEFUL FIREWALL

    3. DEEP PACKET INSPECTION FIREWALL

    4. APPLICATION-AWARE FIREWALL

    5. APPLICATION PROXY FIREWALL


    PACKET FILTERING FIREWALL:-
     IT IS A FIREWALL TECHNIQUES USED TO CONTROL NETWORK ACCESS.

     MONITORS OUTGOING AND INCOMING PACKETS.

     BY ALLOWING THEM TO PASS OR HALT BASE ON THE SOURCE.

     AND DESTINATION INTERNET PROTOCOL(IP) ADDRESSES PROTOCOLS AND PORTS.

     IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS STATIC FILTERING.


    STATEFUL FIREWALL:-
     IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS “DYNAMIC PACKET FILTERING”

     IT IS A FIREWALL TECHNOLOGY THAT MONITORS THE STATE OF ACTIVE CONNECTIONS.

     AND USES THIS INFORMATION TO DETERMINE WHICH NETWORK PACKETS TO ALLOW THROUGH THE
    FIREWALL

     IN STATIC PACKET FILTERING ONLY THE HEADERS OF PACKETS ARE CHECKED.

     WHICH MEANS THAT AN ATTACKER CAN SOMETIMES GET INFORMATION.

     BY SIMPLY INDICATING “REPLY” IN THE HEADER.


    DEEP PACKET INSPECTION FIREWALL:-
     IT IS AN ADVANCED OF EXAMINING AND MANAGING NETWORK TRAFFIC.

     IT IS A FORM OF PACKET FILTERING THAT,


    -> LOCATES
    -> IDENTIFIES
    -> CLASSIFIES
    -> REROUTES
    -> BLOCKS

     WITH SPECIFIC DATA OR CODE PAYLOADS


     THAT CONVETIONAL PACKET FILTERING.

     WHICH EXAMINES ONLY PACKET HEADERS.


    APPLICATION –AWARE FIREWALL:-

     IT IS A FORM OF FIREWALL THAT CONTROLS


    -> INPUT
    ->OUTPUT
    ->AND/OR ACCESS FROM
    ->TO
    OR BY AN APPLICATION OR SERVICE

     THIS APPLICATION FIREWALL IS TYPICALLY


    BUILT TO CONTROL ALL NETWORK TRAFFIC
    ON ANYWAYS OSI LAYER UPTO THE APPLICATION
    LAYER.
    APPLICATION PROXY FIREWALL:-
     IT PROTECTS NETWORK RESOURCES BY FILTERING MESSAGES AT THE APPLICATION LAYER.

     IT IS ALSO CALLED AS AN APPLICATION LAYER OR GATEWAY FIREWALL.

     A PROXY FIREWALL ACTS AS AN INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN IN-HOUSE CLIENTS AND SERVERS ON THE
    INTERNET
