Firewall Security
In computing, a firewall is a software or hardware-based network security system that
controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic by analyzing the data packets and determining
whether they should be allowed through or not, based on applied rule set. A firewall establishes a
barrier between a trusted, secure internal network and another network (e.g., the Internet) that is not
assumed to be secure and trusted.
Many personal computer operating systems include software-based firewalls to protect
against threats from the public Internet. Many routers that pass data between networks contain
firewall components and, conversely, many firewalls can perform basic routing functions. There are
different types of firewalls depending on where the communication is taking place, where the
communication is intercepted and the state that is being traced.
Network layer firewalls, also called packet filters, operate at a relatively low level of the
TCP/IP protocol stack, not allowing packets to pass through the firewall unless they match the
established rule set. The firewall administrator may define the rules; or default rules may apply.
Application-layer firewalls work on the application level of the TCP/IP stack (i.e., all
browser traffic, or all telnet or ftp traffic), and may intercept all packets traveling to or from an
application. They block other packets (usually dropping them without acknowledgment to the
sender).
On inspecting all packets for improper content, firewalls can restrict or prevent the spread of
networked computer worms and trojans. The additional inspection criteria can add extra latency to
the forwarding of packets to their destination.
A proxy server (running either on dedicated hardware or as software on a general-purpose
machine) may act as a firewall by responding to input packets (connection requests, for example) in
the manner of an application, while blocking other packets. A proxy server is a gateway from one
network to another for a specific network application, in the sense that it functions as a proxy on
behalf of the network user.

2. Answer the following questions:

1. What is a firewall?Software or hardware-based network security system that controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic by
analyzing the data packets and determining whether they should be allowed through or not, based on applied rule set.
2. What functions does it perform?Establishes a barrier between a trusted, secure internal network and another network (e.g., the
Internet) that is not assumed to be secure and trusted
3. What are the criteria of firewalls` classification? Where the communication is taking place, where the communication is
intercepted and the state that is being traced.
4. How does a network layer firewall operate? Operates at a relatively low level of the TCP/IP protocol stack, not allowing packets
to pass through the firewall unless they match the established rule set.
5. How does an application-layer firewall operate?
Works on the application level of the TCP/IP stack (i.e., all browser traffic, or all telnet or ftp traffic), and may intercept all packets traveling to or
from an application.

IV. Translation
Translate the passage into Ukrainian.
Today, computer networks are the core of modern communication. Telephony increasingly runs
over the Internet Protocol, although not necessarily the public Internet. The scope of communication
has increased significantly in the past decade. This boom in communications would not have been
possible without the progressively advancing computer network. Computer networks continue to
drive computer hardware, software, and peripherals industries. The expansion of related industries is
mirrored by growth in the numbers and types of people using networks, from the researcher to the
home user. Сьогодні комп'ютерні мережі є основою сучасного зв'язку. Телефонія все більше працює за протоколом Інтернету, хоча не
обов'язково через глобальну мережу. Обсяг комунікацій значно збільшився протягом останнього десятиліття. Цей розквіт у
комунікаціях не був би можливим без комп'ютерних мереж, які постійно розвиваються. Комп'ютерні мережі продовжують
визначати розвиток апаратних, програмних та периферійних галузей комп'ютерної індустрії. Розширення пов'язаних галузей
відображається у зростанні кількості та типів людей, які використовують мережі, від дослідника до домашнього користувача.
V. Writing.
Write a short composition (12 – 15 sentences) on one of the following topics:
1. The influence technology has had on your hobbies and life.
2. The person responsible for making a difference in my life.
3. Will there ever be a time when there will be no further technological advancements?
Will there ever be a time when there will be no further technological advancements?

In my opinion, there will never be a time when there will be no further technological advancements.
People are coming up and developing new technologies all the time.
Consequently, new technologies cause new problems and require brand-new solutions.
Things get better because of new technology, but they also get more complicated.
Therefore, we have to keep learning and adapting because technology moves fast.
It seems like a vicious circle.
Growing and moving forward is the main goal of whole society.
We live to bring something new and helpful into this world and make it easier for the next generations.
From my point of view, the moment technologies stop developing, a significant part of human life will be missing.
Nowadays everything is revolving around information technology and its improvement.
Even when it seems like there is nothing more that could have been created, humanity still manages to impress the world with new developments.
So I guess we do have a lot ahead of us.
