Internet firewall Protector of personal info |

Slide 2 :

INTRODUCTION Internet is the bucket of information.
It contain information about all level of information e.g. home,business,education ,etc.
So it is necessary to access internet for valuable information.
By connecting a private network the intruders interfere in your own systems
firewalls provide this security. The Internet
firewalls keep the flames of Internet hell out of your network or, to keep the members of your LAN pure by denying them access the all the evil Internet temptations.
|
|
|
Slide 3 :
|
DEFINATION Firewall is the application that running between private network and internet
2 types of fire wall
1.Hardware firewall
2.Software firewall
The first computer firewall was a nonrouting Unix host with connections to two different networks
To keepspeople(worm.cracker)out.
To people (employees/children)in.

Slide 4 :
|
NEED OF FIREWALL What happens if we do not use use firewall?
subnet's systems expose themselves to inherently insecure services such as NFS or NIS and to probes and attacks from hosts elsewhere on the network.
network security relies totally on host security and all hosts must, in a sense, cooperate to achieve a uniformly high level of security.
The larger the subnet, the less manageable it is to maintain all hosts at the same level of security. |
|
|
Slide 5 :
|
FIREWALL APPROACH it provides numerous advantages to sites by helping to increas overall host security
Protection from Vulnerable Services
Controlled Access to Site Systems
Concentrated Security
Enhanced Privacy
Logging and Statistics on Network Use, Misuse
Policy Enforcement
|
|
|
Slide 6 :
|
Protection from Vulnerable Services improve network security and reduce risks to hosts on the subnet
prohibit certain vulnerable services such as NFS from entering or leaving aprotected subnet
permits the use of these services with greatly reduced risk to exploitation
protection from routing-based attacks
reject all source-routed
packets and ICMP redirects and then inform administrators of the incidents |
|
|
Slide 7 :
|
Controlled Access to Site Systems Ability to control access to site systems.
Do not provide access to hosts or services that do not require access
A user requires little or no network access to her desktop workstation, then a firewall can enforce this policy |
|
|
Slide 8 :
|
Concentrated Security most modified additional security software could be located on the firewall systems as opposed to being distributed on many hosts.
opposed to each system that needed to be accessed from the Internet.
Kerberos [NIST94c] involve modifications at each host system.
simpler to implement to run specialized software. |
|
|
Slide 9 :
|
Enhanced Privacy Normally be considered innocuous information that would be useful to an attacker.
Some sites wish to block services such as finger and Domain Name Service.
Firewall used to block DNS information about site systems.
The names and IP addresses systems would not be available to Internet hosts. |
|
|
Slide 10 :
|
Logging and Statistics on Network Use, Misuse firewall can log accesses and provide valuable statistics about network usage
with appropriate alarms that sound when firewall and network are being probed or attacked
primary importance:
whether the firewall is withstanding probes attacks.
controls on the firewall are adequate.
Network usage statistics |
|
|
Slide 11 :
|
Policy Enforcement A firewall provides the means for implementing and enforcing a network access policy.
A network access policy can be enforced by a firewall,
Depends entirely on the cooperation of users.
It cannot nor should not depend on Internet users in general. |
|
|
Slide 12 :
|
TYPES OF FIREWALLS 1.packet filtering firewalls
2.circuitlevel gateways
3.application gateways
4.stateful multilayer inspection firewall |
|
|
Slide 13 :
|
packet filtering firewalls Work at the network layer of OSI model, or IP layer of TCP/IP
Usually part of a router
Each packet is compared to a set of criteria before it is forwarded.
These firewalls often contain an ACL (Access Control List) |
|
|
Slide 14 :
|
Advantage… Cost effective to simply configure routers
Network layer firewalls tend to be fast and tend to be transparent to users.
Virtually all high-speed Internet connections require a router.
Capability to perform basic Packet Filtering at the Router level without purchasing additional hardware or software.
|
|
|
Slide 15 :
|
disadvantage They don’t provide for password controls.
Users can’t identify themselves.
The person who configures the firewall protocol for the router needs a thorough knowledge of IP packet structure.
There is no user authentication.
Remains vulnerable to attacks such as spoofing source address. |
|
|
Slide 16 :
|
Circuit-level Gateways These firewalls work at the session layer of the OSI model, or TCP/IP layer of the TCP/IP.
Monitor TCP handshaking between packets to determine whether a requested session is legitimate.
Useful for hiding information about protected networks
Relatively inexpensive and have the advantage of hiding information about the private network they protect.
They do not filter individual packets
|
|
|
Slide 17 :
|
Application Gateways These are the software firewalls
Often used by companies specifically to monitor and log employee activity to protect a home computer from hackers
Filter packets at the application layer of OSI or TCP/IP model |
|
|
Slide 18 :
|
dual homed gateway A highly secured host that runs proxy software.
It has two network interfaces, one on each network, and blocks all traffic passing through it. |
|
|
Slide 19 :
|
Advantage A very fine level of security and access control may be achieved.
These reject all inbound packets contain common EXE and COM files.
No direct connections are allowed through the firewall under any circumstances.
Proxies provide a high level of protection against denial of service attacks. |
|
|
Slide 20 :
|
disadvantage Proxies require large amount of computing resources in the host system, which can load to performance bottlenecks or slow downs the network.
Proxies must be written for specific application programs and not all applications have proxies available. |
|
|
Slide 21 :
|
Stateful Multilayer Inspection Firewall Keeps track of all packets associated with a specific communication session
A typical communication session between two computers will consists a several thousand packets
Close off ports until connection to the specified port is requested.
|
|
|
Slide 22 :
|
Advantage and disadvantage These will typically offer much higher performance than proxies.
These ensure that all packets must be a port of an authorized communication session.
Stateful Inspection provides a greater level of security control by enforcing security
Disadvantage:
Stateful inspection functionality currently requires the purchase of additional hardware and/or software and is not typically "bundled" with another existing network device.
|
|
|
Slide 23 :
|
A simple example of firewalll CISCO developed 500 series firewall as better because they use a cut-through protocol in packet examination.
Firewalls create barriers in order to prevent unauthorized access to a network.
They are the security doors through which some people (i.e. data) may pass and others may not.
It adds another layer of security to your systems.
It protects networked computers from intentional hostile intrusion that could
Compromise confidentiality or result in data corruption or denial of service.
It is is a choke point through which all the traffic flows between two network.
|
|
|
Slide 24 :
|
Advantage of firewall Concentration of security
Protocol filtering
Information hiding
Application gateways ,
Extended logging
Centralized and simplified network services management |
|
|
Slide 25 :
|
Disadvantage of firewall Certain types of network access may be hampered for some hosts, telnet, ftp, X Windows, NFS, NIS, etc
A firewall system is that it concentrates security in one spot as opposed to distributing it among system.
The term ``firewall'' can mean many things to many people.
|
|
|
Slide 26 :
|
FOR WHICH FIREWALLS CAN’T PROVIDE SECURITY A firewall can’t protect against attacks that don’t go through the firewall.
Many organizations that are terrified of Internet connections have no coherent policy about how dial-in access via modems should be protected.
There are many organizations out there buying expensive firewalls and neglecting the numerous other back doors into their network.
Another thing a firewall can’t really protect you against is traitors or idiots inside the network.
Firewalls can't protect well against things like viruses. |
|
|
Slide 27 :
|
conclusion In conclusion inter net is the dangerous place..
Without firewall not connected to inter net.
Fire wall protect private file from outsiders.
Hackers crackers and viruses are harm full for personal data.
Firewall provide necessary security for such type of illegal access. |
