This document discusses different types of firewalls and their functions. It begins by explaining why computers need protection and why firewalls are needed. There are three main types of firewalls: packet filtering, application-level, and circuit-level. Packet filtering firewalls control protocols, IP addresses, and port numbers using rulesets. Application-level firewalls allow or block specific application traffic using mechanisms for each desired application. Circuit-level firewalls relay TCP connections by copying bytes between an external host and internal resource. In summary, firewalls provide network security by controlling access and filtering unauthorized traffic between internal and external networks.
Data Security in Local Area Network Using Distributed FirewallManish Kumar
This document summarizes the key components and architecture of distributed firewalls for enhancing data security in local networks. Distributed firewalls define security policies centrally and implement them across network endpoints to filter both internal and external traffic. They have a central management system to configure, deploy and monitor policies across distributed firewall components, which include a policy actuator, remote endpoint connectors, and log server. Policies are distributed from the management center and implemented locally at each host-end to control traffic according to the security rules.
A firewall protects networks and computers from unauthorized access. There are two main types - software firewalls that protect individual computers, and hardware firewalls that protect entire networks. A firewall works by inspecting all incoming and outgoing data packets and determining whether to allow or block them based on a set of rules. Firewalls can block hackers, enforce security policies to protect private information, and log internet activity. However, firewalls cannot protect against insider threats, connections not routed through the firewall, or completely new viruses.
network security, group policy and firewallsSapna Kumari
The document discusses network security and firewalls. It defines network security as controlling unwanted intrusion and damage to computer networks. It then outlines security objectives like confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It also discusses group policy for centralized management of operating systems and user settings in Active Directory environments. Finally, it describes different types of firewalls like packet filters, application proxies, and stateful inspection firewalls that act as security barriers between network segments.
Data security in local network using distributed firewall ppt Sabreen Irfana
Distributed firewalls provide data security in LANs by enforcing security policies at network endpoints rather than a single centralized firewall. This overcomes issues with traditional firewalls like single points of failure, restricted topologies, and an assumption that inside users are trusted. A distributed firewall uses a central management system to define security policies which are then enforced by policy agents on endpoints using public key certificates for authentication. This allows filtering of both internal and external traffic according to the security policy.
The document discusses data security in local networks using distributed firewalls. It describes how distributed firewalls work to overcome issues with traditional firewalls, which rely on a single entry point. Distributed firewalls are centrally managed from a network server but installed on endpoints throughout the network. This allows security policies to be defined and pushed centrally while filtering traffic both from the internet and internally. It also discusses how distributed firewalls use pull and push techniques to update endpoints with the latest security policies from the central management server.

Incorrect configuration of firewall policies and third-party VPNs can seriously impact IT security. The document discusses five common firewall configuration mistakes that leave networks vulnerable: 1) misconfigured firewall rules that are as dangerous as having no firewall, 2) firewalls that are not properly maintained and updated, 3) firewall rules that are too open and permissive, 4) firewalls that do not inspect encrypted traffic, and 5) firewalls that are not applied consistently across all network traffic. It then provides an overview of different types of firewalls and how they function to filter network traffic and protect networks from threats.
Firewall protection is the one that controls and monitors the network traffic whether it is incoming or outgoing on predetermined rules of security. It is basically a barrier or a shield applied specifically to save your PC, phone or tablet from the malwares of external world that exist in abundance on the internet.

It recommends a defense-in-depth approach using multiple layers of security like firewalls, intrusion detection systems, antivirus software, and encryption. Specific security measures are examined, including network monitoring, access control, and securing servers and applications.
The document discusses firewall fundamentals, including:
- Firewalls control network traffic flow between networks with different security levels. They authenticate access, manage traffic, and protect resources.
- Firewalls can be software, appliances, or integrated into devices. They operate at OSI layers 2-7 and deny or allow access based on predefined rules.
- Common firewall architectures include single-box, screened host, screened subnet, DMZ, and dual firewall setups. Firewalls have limitations and cannot protect against all internal/external threats.
Firewall is a device or set of instruments designed to permit or deny network transmissions based upon a set of rules and regulation is frequently used to protect networks from unauthorized access while permitting legitimate communications to pass or during the sensitive data transmission. Distributed firewalls allow enforcement of security policies on a network without restricting its topology on an inside or outside point of view. Use of a policy language and centralized delegating its semantics to all members of the networks domain support application of firewall technology for organizations, which network devices communicate over insecure channels and still allow a logical separation of hosts in- and outside the trusted domain. We introduce the general concepts of such distributed firewalls, its requirements and implications and introduce its suitability to common threats on the Internet, as well as give a short discussion on contemporary implementations.

Network security and firewalls are important tools for protecting client-server networks. Firewalls act as a barrier between private networks and the public internet, controlling incoming and outgoing network traffic based on set rules. Common security threats to client-server networks include malicious software, phishing, hacking, and denial of service attacks. Encryption techniques like public key cryptography and digital signatures are important for ensuring data security and authenticity in electronic communications. Firewall types include packet filtering routers, application proxies, and hardened firewall hosts.
A firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. There are different types of firewalls including packet filters, application gateways, circuit-level gateways, and bastion hosts. A firewall inspects each packet of data and determines whether to allow it to pass through or block it from passing. Firewalls are used to prevent unauthorized access to private networks from the internet and can protect both individual computers and entire networks.
There are four common firewall architectures: packet filtering routers, screened host firewalls, dual-homed firewalls, and screened subnet firewalls. Screened subnet firewalls are the most complex but provide the highest level of security. They use a demilitarized zone (DMZ) to separate external-facing servers from internal networks and limit access between the different zones.
Network security consists of the provisions and policies adopted by a network administrator to prevent and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources.

This document discusses various types of network attacks and countermeasures. It describes mapping to study a victim's network before attacking, packet sniffing where a host can read unencrypted communication, spoofing where an attacker takes a target's IP address to remain anonymous, and DoS/DDoS attacks which aim to overload services and bring them down. Hijacking combines different attack techniques to disrupt an entire network. The document provides details on each attack method and their techniques.
The document discusses firewall implementation for a company called Acme. It describes how Acme can set up firewalls to restrict access between internal and external networks and between different internal departments. Packet filtering, proxy servers, and demilitarized zones are implemented to enforce access controls and monitor network traffic flow while protecting sensitive data. The completed Acme intranet design includes multiple firewalls configured in screened subnets and dual-homed gateways to secure remote access and internal information flows.
Here are the key advantages of a packet-filtering router firewall:
- Simple and fast - Packet filtering is a simple and fast operation as it only examines packet headers. This makes packet filtering routers suitable for high traffic networks.
- Low cost - Packet filtering routers are generally lower in cost compared to other firewall types as they utilize existing router hardware and software.
- Flexible rulesets - Packet filtering allows for flexible rulesets that can block or allow packets based on many header fields like source/destination IP, port, protocol type etc.
- Transparency - Packet filtering operates at the network/transport layers so it is transparent to users and applications.
- Performance - Packet filtering has minimal impact on network performance since

The presentation concluded with a reference to an ID-CERT cybercrime report and a call for questions.
This document provides an open source study guide for the CompTIA Security+ SY0-501 exam. It aims to gather information from various online sources to cover all exam topics without requiring expensive training courses. The exam domains include threats and vulnerabilities, technologies and tools, architecture and design, identity and access management, risk management, and cryptography. The study guide also provides free resources like practice questions and training courses. It then covers various security topics in detail, such as attacks, system hardening, encryption, firewalls, and more.
This document discusses intrusion detection and the technology of Snort. It defines intrusion detection as discovering unauthorized network or computer activities. Intrusion detection aims to detect violations of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Snort is introduced as an open-source network intrusion detection system that analyzes network traffic and compares it to configurable rules to detect suspicious patterns. Snort runs on both UNIX and Windows platforms and has a small system footprint, making it a lightweight intrusion detection option.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Protecting sensitive information from unauthorized
disclosure or intelligible interception; Only seen by
entities to whom it is addressed
Integrity:
Not modified/destroyed in a unauthorized way;
safeguarding the accuracy & completeness of information
& software
Access Control:
Access (computation, data, service) follows the prescribed
policy
Authentication:
Verifying the identity claimed

7. Contd.
Availability:
System accessible/usable on demand
Nonrepudiation:
Protection against false denial of comm.
Audit Trail:
Chronological record of system activities to enable
reconstruction/examination of environments/activities
leading to an operation from inception to final results.
Privacy:
Breach of confidentiality is also invasion of privacy.
Collecting a dossier based upon his activities - inferring
habits, movements, expenditures Security Risk

9. Common security attacks
and their countermeasures
Finding a way into the network
Firewalls
Exploiting software bugs, buffer overflows
Intrusion Detection Systems
Denial of Service
Ingress filtering, IDS
TCP hijacking
IPSec
Packet sniffing
Encryption (SSH, SSL, HTTPS)
Social problems
Education
9
10. General Threat Perceptions
Network threatened by external running
malicious scripts (Malware)
Adversaries attempting access protected
services, break into machines, snoop
communications, collect statistics of
transactions …
Insiders and outsiders
Disasters (natural and man-made)
10
11. Secure Storing of Data
(Local Storage)
Physical Security
Protect machine
Limit network access
Most secure (without
external access)
Suppose it falls into
an adversary
All the data can be
obtained in the clear
Cryptographic Secure.
Protects even if the m/c
falls to adversary
Of course person having
access can delete --
Hence, BACKUP
Data Integrity
Cryptography: Fragile
System issues, user
interfaces , Crypto-file
servers …
11
12. Eternal Blue Attack
EternalBlue exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft's
implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB)
protocol. This vulnerability is denoted by entry CVE-
2017-0144 .
Execution of Attack.
12
25. Firewalls
A firewall is like a castle with a drawbridge
Only one point of access into the network
This can be good or bad
Can be hardware or software
Ex. Some routers come with firewall
functionality
ipfw, ipchains, pf on Unix systems, Windows
XP and Mac OS X have built in firewalls
25
26. Firewall
Used to filter packets based on a combination
of features
These are called packet filtering firewalls
There are other types too, but they will not be discussed
Ex. Drop packets with destination port of 23
(Telnet)
Can use any combination of IP/UDP/TCP header
information
man ipfw on unix47 for much more detail
But why don’t we just turn Telnet off?
26
28. Firewall
Here is what a computer with a default
Windows 7 install looks like:
135/tcp open loc-srv
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
445/tcp open microsoft-ds
1025/tcp open NFS-or-IIS
3389/tcp open ms-term-serv
5000/tcp open UPnP
Might need some of these services, or might
not be able to control all the machines on the
network
28
35. DoS (Denial of Service)
Purpose: Make a network service
unusable, usually by overloading the
server or network
Many different kinds of DoS attacks
SYN flooding
SMURF
Distributed attacks
Mini Case Study: Code-Red
35
36. Denial of Service
SYN flooding attack
Send SYN packets with bogus source address
Why?
Server responds with SYN ACK and keeps state
about TCP half-open connection
Eventually, server memory is exhausted with this state
Solution: use “SYN cookies”
In response to a SYN, create a special “cookie” for the
connection, and forget everything else
Then, can recreate the forgotten information when the
ACK comes in from a legitimate connection
36
39. Intrusion Detection Systems
Attack detection, with automated response
Damage prevention and containment
Tracing and isolation of attack origin points
Used to monitor for “suspicious activity” on a
network
Can protect against known software exploits, like buffer
overflows
Open Source IDS: Snort, www.snort.org
39
40. Intrusion Detection
Uses “intrusion signatures”
Well known patterns of behavior
Ping sweeps, port scanning, web server indexing, OS
fingerprinting, DoS attempts, etc.
However, IDS is only useful if contingency
plans are in place to curb attacks as they are
occurring
40
46. WPA 2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 )
46
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 is a network
security technology commonly used on Wi-Fiwireless
networks. It's an upgrade from the
original WPA technology, which was designed as a
replacement for the older and much less secure WEP.
WPA2 is used on all certified Wi-Fi hardware since 2006 and is
based on the IEEE 802.11i technology standard for data
encryption.
Cracking WPA 2 Network :
53. DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service)
DDoS is a type of DOS attack where multiple
compromised systems, which are often infected with
a Trojan, are used to target a single system causing
aDenial of Service (DoS) attack.
Victims of a DDoS attack consist of both the end targeted
system and all systems maliciously used and controlled
by the hacker in the distributed attack.
The DDoS attack uses multiple computers and Internet
connections to flood the targeted resource. DDoS attacks
are often global attacks, distributed via botnets.
