Which of the following technologies extracts detailed information from packets and stores that information in state tables?
The correct technology that extracts detailed information from packets and stores that information in state tables is the INSPECT Engine. The INSPECT Engine works by intercepting packets at the network layer and then extracting state-related information from all application layers, which it maintains in dynamic state tables. This allows for thorough and continuous monitoring and evaluating of subsequent connection attempts, thereby ensuring high security and performance.
Correct. Check Point FireWall-1’s Stateful Inspection overcomes the limitations of the previous two approaches by providing full application-layer awareness without breaking the client/server model. With Stateful Inspection, the packet is intercepted at the network layer, but then the INSPECT Engine takes over. It extracts state-related information required for the security decision from all application layers and maintains this information in dynamic state tables for evaluating subsequent connection attempts. This provides a solution which is highly secure and offers maximum performance, scalability, and extensibility.
INSPECT engine is correct.
