INTRODUCTION
 The internet has made large amount of information available to the
average computer user at home , in business and education.
 For many people, having access to this information is no longer just an
advantage; it is essential.
 Therefore, security of network is the main criteria here and firewalls
provide this security.
What is firewall?
 A Firewall is simply a program or hardware device that filters the

information come through the internet connection in to your private

network or computer system.


Firewall
 Hardware firewalls are integrated in to the router that sits between a
computer and the internet.
 It is a physical device.
 It can be installed between the modem and computer.
 It can be incorporated in to a broadband router being used to share the
internet connection.
 It Protects an entire network.
 Usually more expensive,harder to configure.
 Eg:Cisco pix, Netscreen etc….
 Software firewalls are installed on individual servers they intercept each
connection request and then determine whether the request is valid are not.
 It is a software application.
 It is installed on to the computer system that you wish to protect.
 It protects a single computer.
 This is usually the computer with modem attached to it.
 Usually less expensive , easier to configure.
 Eg : Norton internet security , MacAfee internet security etc…..
Types of firewall technique
Packet filter

Application gateway

Circuit – level gateway

Bastion host
Packet Filter
 It looks at each packet entering or leaving the network
and accepts or rejects it based on user-defined rules.
 Packet filtering is fairly effective and transparent to
users, but it is difficult to configure.
 In addition,it is susceptible to IP spoofing.
Application gateway
 In such type of firewall remote host or network can interact only
with proxy server, it is responsible for hiding the details of the
internal network i.e., intranet.
 Users uses TCP/IP application,such as FTP & Telnet servers.
 This is very effective, but can impose a performance degradation.
Circuit-level Firewall
 This can be a stand-alone system or it can be a specialized functions
performed by an application-level gateway for certain applications.
 It does not permit an end to end TCP connection ; rather, the gateway
sets two TCP connections.
 A typical use of the circuit-level gateway is a situation in which the
system administrator trusts the internal users.
Bastion Host

 It generally hosts a single application,provide platform for application gateway


and circuit-level gateway.
 Bastion host is a special purpose computer on a network specifically designed
and configured to withstand attacks.
 It supports limited/specific applications to reduce the threat to the computer.
 It includes application-Telenet,SMTP,FTP.

CONCLUSION
 One of the best things about a firewall from a security
standpoint is that it stops anyone on the outside from
logging on to a computer in your private network.
 While this is big deal for business, most home networks will
probably not be threatned in this manner. Still, putting a
firewall in place provides some peace of mind.
