There are two terms consistently used when describing firewalls: stateful and stateless. A stateless firewall surveys all the traffic for a particular connection and investigates the packets containing the data to seek out sequences and patterns that are incongruent. A stateful firewall examines each packet on a case-by-case basis. It is does not have any prior information and avoids making predictions of what should come next.

Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

A stateful firewall surveys all the traffic for a particular connection and investigates the packets containing the data to seek out sequences and patterns that are incongruent.

A stateless firewall examines each packet on a case-by-case basis and it does not have any prior information and avoids making predictions of what should come next.

Hence, the assertion in the question is false.
