If a home or business computer owner bounds to a network or an internet connection, their personal datas open to reach unauthorized person who have a connection a network or an internet.

This situation will become harder to protect data security than to provide local area network or internet data security. Because, a system of computer how much having strong external relations, it will become more undefend system.

Also,it is exposed to spies, thieves, hackers, thrill seekers, or various.So that, users need to be increasingly vigilant of security issues.

Why we need firewall ?Why we need firewall ?

Many entry points go towards to host, must be guard with a simple login request.The most sources of danger are databases, network files and mailers.

However some protocols inadequate to provide adequate service, its required from the local users. So, this computer will take more attack. If a computer user’s set a limit for a single building, it will become harder for an foreigner to trickle into system.

On the other hand, a computer which connected to network, can be reached from any point on the network.At the end of, networks have constitute a security crossing problem.Generally, one of the solution way about computer data security is firewall.

How can 2 computers connect ?How can 2 computers connect ?

We can see it in Windows Operating System, “netstat -n “ command to cmd. In this cmd we can see “ established “ word. Established connections are correctly connecting with A machine to our machine.

Firewalls are softwares or hardwares which provide permission control, obstructing and filtering to unauthorized reaching come from on network or on internet.

Its could be seperate three groups of software, hardware or both of them to each other.

What is the firewall ?What is the firewall ?

Broadly speaking, a computer firewall is a software program that prevents unauthorized access to or from a private network.

Firewalls are tools that can be used to enhance the security of computers connected to a network, such as LAN or the Internet. They are an integral part of a comprehensive security framework for your network.

What is the firewall ?What is the firewall ?

In theory, a firewall absolutely isolates your computer from the Internet using a "wall of code" that inspects each individual "packet" of data as it arrives at either side of the firewall — inbound to or outbound from your computer — to determine whether it should be allowed to pass or be blocked.

What can we use generally firewall types ?What can we use generally firewall types ?

Hardware firewalls are expensive for home users. Hardware firewalls are generally used by data centers which hosting datas on the internet.

The most antiviruses have connected with firewalls and each computer users have an antivirus programs. So home users generally use software firewalls.

What is the software firewall types ?What is the software firewall types ?

Firewalls could be classifying three main categories. It could be arranging generally, packet filtering, circuit gateways, and application gateways.

Some other sources talked about fourth filtering of statefull inspection firewalls. Traditionally, firewalls are placed between an organization and the outside world. But a large organization may need internal firewalls as well to isolate DMZ (also known as administrative domains).

DMZ which known De Militarized Zone network, is created out of a network connecting two firewalls when two or more firewalls exist in the networks connecting the firewalls.

What is the packet filtering gateways ?What is the packet filtering gateways ?

First category of firewalls is packet - filtering gateways. This type firewalls control IP protocol, IP adress and port number include own rules.

From there, the firewall would start at the top of the ruleset and work down through the rules. In the table a sample of a packet filter firewall ruleset for an imaginary network is shown.

What is the application – level gateway ?What is the application – level gateway ?

Second category of firewalls is application - level gateway. It is opposite of firewall designs.

In this type firewall, its system prefer to using general specified mechanism to allow many different kids of traffic to flow. The code, can be used for each desired applications. This type firewalls search some protocols which work in application layer in OSI models. If we describe OSI models, it is a seven layer’s standard which using by computers for communicating in networks.

What is the circuit – level gateway ?What is the circuit – level gateway ?

Third category of firewalls is circuit - level gateway. Circuit gateways relay TCP connections. The caller connects to a TCP port on the gateway, which connects to some destination on the other side of the gateway. During the call the gateway’s relay programs copy the bytes back and forth: the gateway acts as a wire. In some cases a circuit connection is made automatically.

For example, we have a host outside our gateway that needs to use an internal printer. We have told that host to connect to the print service on the gateway. Our gateway is configured to relay that particular connection to the printer port on an internal machine.
