A firewall typically establishes a barrier between a trusted internal network and untrusted external network, such as the Internet.

A one way firewall is when the direction of flow goes only one way - from the client to the server

A two way firewall is allows the flow of data to go both ways.]]> 2018-10-10 14:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/woodla12/3cte1iqs2eqk/wish/291255292 User Accounts woodla12 https://padlet.com/woodla12/3cte1iqs2eqk/wish/291255666 A user account is a location on a network server used to store a computer user name, password and any other information.

Antivirus software is a program or set of programs that are designed to prevent, search for, detect, and remove software viruses, and other malicious software like worms, Trojans, adware, and more.
 
Antivirus Windows
For windows, you will NEED an antivirus, this is due to how common malware is for windows.

Antivirus Linux
Linux typically doesn't need an antivirus, the core reason you don’t need an antivirus on Linux is that very little Linux malware exists in the wild. Malware for Windows is extremely common. Shady advertisements push nasty software that is practically malware, file-sharing sites are full of infected programs, and malicious individuals target security vulnerabilities to install Windows malware without your permission.

Linux uses a different set of rules based on a "root" user and modular Read, Write, and Execute permissions, with the root user being able to modify the status of a file. this allows combinations such as files than can be written to but can't be read or executed, or a file that can be read and written to but not executed.]]> 2018-10-10 14:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/woodla12/3cte1iqs2eqk/wish/291258307
