Implementing Firewall using IP Tables in Linux

Abstract

The booming complexity of networks, and the desire to make them more accessible due to the growing emphasis on and awareness of the Internet as a medium for multi-dimensional transactions, mean that networks are becoming constantly and increasingly exposed to attacks, internal and external. The research is on for mechanisms and techniques for the security of internal networks from such attacks. One of the multiple protective mechanisms under detailed consideration is the firewall. A firewall protects a network by guarding the points of entry to it. Firewalls are becoming increasingly effective and sophisticated by the day, and new features are constantly being added, so that, in spite of the criticisms made of them and r&d trends threatening them, they are still a very strong protective mechanism. This article provides an overview of firewall using IP tables in Linux.
