System insecurity - firewalls
نویسندگان
چکیده
The firewall is normally an intermediate system between the secure internal networks and the less secure external networks. It is intended to keep corporate systems safe from intruders, hackers, and accidental entry into the corporate system. The primary types of firewalls are screening routers, proxy servers, and stateful inspectors. Before choosing a firewall architecture, a company must have the right mind set regarding threat. The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction to firewall concepts and help develop this mind set.

متن کاملTrust Models and NetShield Architecture for Securing Grid Computing*
Highly shared resources over multiple grid platforms make insecurity and privacy abuse major obstacles hindering general-purpose Grid applications. A scalable grid system demands the allocation and release of resources dynamically. A distributed Grid security (GridSec) architecture is introduced to meet these demands. The architecture is built with distributed firewalls, packet filters, securit...
متن کاملUsing Operating System Wrappers to Increase the Resiliency to Commercial Firewalls
Operating system wrappers technology provides a means for providing fine grained controls on the operation of applications software. Application proxy firewalls can gain from this technology by wrapping the proxies, thus preventing bugs (or malicious software) in the proxy from subverting the intent of the firewall. This paper describes several experiments we performed with wrappers and firewal...

متن کاملAn Open Source Solution for Testing NAT'd and Nested iptables Firewalls
As firewalls have increased in power and flexibility, the complexity of configuring them correctly has grown significantly. An error in the firewall configuration can compromise the security of the system or interfere with normal network activity. The chance of an error increases when coordinating multiple firewalls, because the interaction between filters may hide errors more easily noticed on...
