Answer 1

Firewall:

There are 2 type of firewall

1. Firewall which is installed with antivirus on desktop or laptop is called resident firewall, where protects end user desktop or laptop from malware and spyware attacks.

2. Physical hardware appliances which is install in in local area network and protect us from malware and spyware attack’s

12.1 1. Access point (AP) bridge Ethernet network.

2. Protect wireless access or unauthorized person.

3. Web shared key.

12.2 1. User controls

2. Direction control

3. behaviour control and

4. HTTP REQUESTS.

12.3 Source tcpip, destination tcpip

12.4 Complex configures unauthorized use, suspicious tcpip, protocols attacks and logging capacities limitations.

12.5 State inspection firewall stable connectivity for open connection. Whereas a packet filter will not do that.

12.6 Application gateways is proxy firewall provides network security

12.7 In circuit-level gateway it works as session layers in tcpip traffic.

12.9 It filters incoming traffics from mall ware and anti-spams.

12.10 To protect against threats in the corporate networks.

12.11. All access to resources from untrusted networks

12.12 Protect or permitted traffic inside networks - internal networks. Protect or block traffic at port level – external networks.
