Security... today's prime worry. A naturalist perspective or view is needed for the information security personnel. Nature, the field we need to look at in order to fill those security gaps. Picture a spider web, isn't that a security web (firewall, scanning) which filters those fat bugs? So come on let's get back to basics!
Basically, a firewall is a barrier to keep destructive forces away from your property. In fact, that's why its called a firewall. Its job is similar to a physical firewall that keeps a fire from spreading from one area to the next.Firewalls use one or more of three methods to control traffic flowing in and out of the network:
1) Packet filtering - Packets (small chunks of data) are analyzed against a set of filters. Packets that make it through the filters are sent to the requesting system and all others are discarded.
2) Proxy service - Information from the Internet is retrieved by the firewall and then sent to the requesting system and vice versa.
3) Stateful inspection - A newer method that doesn't examine the contents of each packet but instead compares certain key parts of the packet to a database of trusted information. Information traveling from inside the firewall to the outside is monitored for specific defining characteristics, then incoming information is compared to these characteristics. If the comparison yields a reasonable match, the information is allowed through. Otherwise it is discarded.
Something is better then nothing:)
security is in the mindset...a tight security can be created only by thinking like a criminal!! get a hacker to invent a security software!
that may help:)
well humans do make mistakes..but slightest mistakes can be very misleading though. maybe there should be a spell checker to avoid such errors as to which doesn't get other readers misleaded or maybe we should not put so much trust on technology these days!! Not all readers can think like [Apocalypse111 (597674)].
probably each keys on the keyboard should be placed far apart:)

haha, its a good one there mate! installing a chip in the editors brains would be a great idea?
oh well on the internet nothing is impossible!
oh then jus update it!! that is why we have many versions dont we.
how is this funny?? its just cryptography with numbers!! it can be read though without any doubt.
