Which of the following technologies extracts detailed information from packets and stores that information in state tables?
The INSPECT Engine technology in Check Point FireWall-1 is designed to provide full application-layer awareness by extracting state-related information from all application layers and maintaining this information in dynamic state tables. This allows for evaluating subsequent connection attempts in a highly secure manner while offering maximum performance, scalability, and extensibility. Therefore, it is the technology that extracts detailed information from packets and stores that information in state tables.
answer is B, according to CCSA R80 student manual pg 25
The correct answer should be option A. "INSPECT Engine" 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.
