- 3. Basic Overview & Objectives What is a home network What is a firewall Why does it need a firewall What does a firewall actually do How does a firewall work How to obtain a firewall/How to check if you currently have a fire wall Hardware firewalls vs. software firewalls and antivirus software
- 4. What is a Home Network? Two or more computers in the home that are interconnected for file sharing and/or Internet access.
- 5. The main advantage of a network is that multiple users can simultaneously interact with each other and share resources, for example the internet connection After the home network is created, if using a wireless router many wireless devices such as laptops can connect to it. Set up can be easy for those who are computer savvy - we will be explaining later on how simple it can be You can also add devices to the network like a printer. This will allow anyone with access rights to be able to print a file on any of the computers connected to the network Advantages and Disadvantages of Home Networks SOME ADVANTAGES SOME DISADVANTAGES Equipment can add up and be costly Set up can be challenging for those who are not computer savvy If wireless on the router is not secured, anyone within range could be stealing the Internet connection and potentially result other outside users access to personal data. (we will discuss firewalls later in presentation)
- 6. What is a Firewall? Secure internet gateway that is used in order to interconnect a private network to the internet. A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination of both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets.

- 8. What does a firewall do? It keeps harmful packets of data from entering or exiting your local area network (LAN) Blocks humans or programs from entering your LAN Administrators set guidelines or rules for what is allowed in or out A firewall is an integral part of a home network security system but more is needed If a user tells the system that certain data or applications are “OK” to pass through the firewall, it will not stop those information packets from entering
- 9. How does a firewall work? A perfect firewall would allow no information to enter your network and no information to leave Administrator must determine a set of guidelines for the firewall to follow – usually to start out, it is safe to disallow everything and then only allow those data transactions which are necessary and you know are safe Firewalls are customizable using the following criteria: IP address 216.27.61.137 Domain names www.GetAVirusHere.com Protocols FTP, SMTP, UDP, etc. Ports port 20 or port 21, echo 7, telnet 23 Specific keywords or phrases “X-rated” “Viagra”
- 10. How does a firewall work? The firewall uses one or more of the following techniques: packet filtering or static packet filtering Checks the header of every packet of information as it enters or exits the network – only allows packets that are approved proxy server or application layer firewall stateful inspection or dynamic packet filtering Monitors header and application level of each packet Tracks accepted and denied packet in a table for finer sorting of data transfer or blockage More involved and active filtering than static packet filtering Internet Proxy Server
- 12. How to find my Firewall? A firewall is a piece of software or hardware that sits between a private network and a public network. A personal firewall is included with Windows XP/ VISTA/ Mac. It will block inbound attacks but will not control network access to programs running on your computer. It is a valuable security tool and should be enabled on most Windows XP/ VISTA/ Mac computers.

- 16. Hardware firewall vs. Software firewalls Software firewalls Provide level of protection to keep safe from hackers and other unwanted intrusions. Software is far easier for computer novices to customize. Some top software firewall packages include anti-spam, antivirus, even anti-popup ad software. Some software firewalls include parental controls – websites children visit. Some packages allow you to block photos and specific text content . The features are suited to smaller home networks. Hardware firewall A small metal box filled with plug openings, or ports. You hook the computer network into the box then set it up on your computer. Hardware firewalls are typically found in broadband routers. A hardware firewall is less vulnerable than a software firewall. Hardware firewalls are best suited to businesses and large networks .
