Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stateful packet filtering is a firewall technology that keeps a record of the state of a connection between an internal computer and an external server and then makes decisions based on the connection as well as the rule base. This allows for more advanced filtering capabilities, such as only allowing inbound traffic that is part of an established connection. Stateless packet filtering (B) does not maintain connection state information, and hubs (C) and stateful hubs (D) are not related to firewall technology.
