  2. What is proxy ? Proxy Proxy is hardware / software Indirect access to other networks e.g INTERNET. all computers on the local network have to go through it before accessing information on the Internet. Organization , universities , companies use proxy systems Proxy act as gateway Proxy act as Cache Server/Firewall Proxy share a connection to others LAN INTERNET
  3. Main purpose of using proxies
    • Improve Performance
      • Act as Cache server
      • Bandwidth control
    • Filter Requests
      • Prevent access to some web sites!!!
      • Prevent access to some protocols
      • Time division
    • Surfing Anonymously
      • Browsing the WWW without any identification!!!
  4. Improve Performance
    • Caching
      • Reduce latency
      • Reduce Network Traffic
      • Caching can greatly speed up Internet access. If one or more Internet sites are frequently requested, they are kept in the proxy's cache, so that when a user requests them, they are delivered directly from the proxy's cache instead of from the original Internet site.
      • Caches diminish the need for network bandwidth, typically by 35% or more, by reducing the traffic from browsers to content servers.
    • Bandwidth control
      • Policy-based Bandwidth Limits
      • Deny by content type
    INTERNET 64 Kbps 128 Kbps 512 Kbps 1 Mbps
  5. Filter Requests
    • Prevent access to some web sites!!!
      • Categories web sites
        • Adult/Sexually Explicit
        • Advertisements & Pop-Ups
        • Chat
        • Gambling
        • Games
        • Hacking
        • Peer-to-Peer
        • ……

        • .Mid / .MP3 / .Wav
        • .Avi / .Mpeg / .Rm

      • Or reset a TCP/IP connection
    Sniffing Mode 1) An attacker tries to compromise a service on the protected network. 2) The Firewall identifies the attempt . LOG Alert  Reset Harden
  18. What firewall protects us from
    • Remote login
    • Application backdoors
    • Operating system bugs
    • Denial of service
    • E-mail bombs
    • Viruses
    • SPAMs
    • Trojans
    • ICMP bombing
    • FTP brute force
    • Phishing
    • … .
