Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Stateless firewall uses characteristics of the incoming packet to determine whether the packet should be permitted or rejected. Examples of such packets characteristics include:

- Source IP address

- Destination IP address

- Protocol

- Port

Stateless firewall does not keep track of active connection (state information) to be able to filter packets by that criteria.
