Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SPI firewalls are limited in their ability to detect port spoofing. Port spoofing is a technique used by attackers to deceive the firewall by using a non-standard port for their malicious traffic, making it look like normal traffic. This means that the firewall will not be able to distinguish between legitimate and malicious traffic, making it less effective in detecting and preventing attacks. As a result, newer firewalls with more advanced technology, such as deep packet inspection, have replaced SPI firewalls.
