A proposed firewall security method against different types of attacks

Abstract EN

There are measures that can be taken to protect users from objectionable or inappropriate Internet content and secure the LAN from theft, modification, or deletion of data.

Firewall is one of many security measures that can be used to protect networks.

Although firewalls are powerful, they suffer from many types of attacks.

This paper concentrates on one particular aspect, which is providing firewalls security against five types of attacks.

These attacks are: SYN Flooding, Ping of Death, IP Address Spoofing, Impersonate one-half of a Session and Session Hijacking.

This can be done by building a specific strategy for a firewall; a strategy that has three procedures, some of which could be stood for more than one attack.
