B) The device contains proprietary operating systems.
C) The connection to the device is monitored by security personnel.
D) A thorough packet inspection capability.
E) The hackers know most router-based firewall code.

c) Choose the best answer from the following options about the description of a firewall:

A) Firewalls statefully inspect reply packets to determine whether they match the expected state of a connection in the state table.
B) Firewalls statically inspect packets in both directions and filter on layer 3and layer 4 information.

B) Inside private IP address and the translated inside global IP address.
C) Outbound and inbound access rules (ACL entries).
D) Source and destination IP addresses, and port numbers and sequencing information associated with a particular session.
E) TCP SYN packets and the associated return ACK packets.

Part 2: Short Answers. Please answer briefly and completely, and you must cite all sources of information. 300 words each. Must be submitted to Turnitin.

1. Suppose you suspect that your session with a server has been interceptedin a man-in-the-middle attack. You have a key, K,that you think you share with the server, but you might be only sharing it with an attacker. But the server also has a public key, Kp, which is widely known, and a private secret key, Ks, that goes with it. Describe how you can either confirmyou share K with the server or discover that you share it only with a man-in-the-middle.Also, be sure your solution will not be discovered by a packet sniffer.

2. A common management requirement is that "all external Web traffic must flow via the organization's Web's proxy." However, that requirement is easier stated than implemented. Discuss the various problems and issues, possible solutions, and limitations with supporting this requirement. In particular, consider issues such as identifying exactly what constitutes "Web traffic" and how it may be monitored, given the large range of ports and various protocols used by Web browsers and servers.
