For example, if you needed to connect to a server of some sort witch didn't have protection, the firewall would ask for your permission to join it before you do so.

Why is this protection of outside data necessary? Well if this sort of data wasn't protected then this means that your privacy would of been leaked to many different places which is a security alarm.]]> 2017-10-05 11:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/str17002004/63d0x4t4sgd9/wish/194238184 Operating Software Security Features afgarso1 https://padlet.com/str17002004/63d0x4t4sgd9/wish/194238470 The use of permissions (Read, Write and execute within Linux).
Linux permissions dictate 3 things you may do with a file, read, write and execute. They are referred to in Linux by a single letter each.
  • r read - you may view the contents of the file.
  • w write - you may change the contents of the file.
  • x execute - you may execute or run the file if it is a program or script.
 Every file is defined using 3 sets of people for whom we may specify permissions.
  • owner - a single person who owns the file. (typically the person who created the file but ownership may be granted to some one else by certain users)
  • group - every file belongs to a single group.
  • others - everyone else who is not in the group or the owner.

They have a main and single purpose which is to stop hackers from entering your computer.  

This sort of firewall was mainly for the old malware that was around 10 years ago such as viruses and worms. They did not progress at viruses due to the firewall many had at the time

Although if you did have this sort of firewall now you would certainly fall behind in terms of technology.]]> 2017-10-05 11:20:17 UTC https://padlet.com/str17002004/63d0x4t4sgd9/wish/194239435
