    This document summarizes firewalls and their classification. It defines a firewall as a choke point that controls and monitors interconnects between networks of differing trust, imposing restrictions on network services to only allow authorized traffic while auditing and controlling access. Firewalls are classified based on the protocol level controlled, including packet filtering, circuit gateways, and application gateways, with dynamic packet filtering combining these approaches. Packet filters are described as the simplest firewall components, using only transport layer information like IP addresses, ports, and protocol headers to filter traffic.

    What is a Firewall?

    A choke point of control and monitoring Interconnects networks with differing trust Imposes restrictions on network services only authorized traffic is allowed Auditing and controlling access can implement alarms for abnormal behavior Itself immune to penetration Provides perimeter defence

    Classification of Firewall
    Characterized by protocol level it controls in Packet filtering Circuit gateways Application gateways

    Combination of above is dynamic packet filter

    Firewalls Packet Filters

    Firewalls Packet Filters


    Simplest of components Uses transport-layer information only


    IP Source Address, Destination Address Protocol/Next Header (TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc) TCP or UDP source & destination ports TCP Flags (SYN, ACK, FIN, RST, PSH, etc) ICMP message type DNS uses port 53

    Examples

    No incoming port 53 packets except known trusted servers
