FIREWALL
FIREWALLA firewall is a hardware or software device which is configured to permit, deny, or proxy data through a computer network which has different levels of trust. The most common boundary where firewalls are applied is between an organization’s internal network and the interne t. This report will provide readers with a resource for understanding firewall design principles used in network security.
So , basically, a firewall is a barrier to keep destructive forces away from your property. In fact, that’s why its called a firewall. Its job is similar to a physical firewall that keeps a fire from spreading from one area to the next.
Firewall ArchitecturesThere are two classes of firewall architectures:1)single layer and,2) multiple layer.
In a single layer architecture, one host is allocated all firewall functions. This method is usually chosen when either cost is a key factor or if there are only two networks to connect. The advantage to this architecture is any changes to the firewall need only to be done at a single host.•The biggest disadvantage of the single layer approach it provides single entry point.If this entry point is breached, the entire network becomes vulnerable to an intruder.In a multiple layer architecture the firewall functions are distributed among two or more hosts normally connected in series. This method is more difficult to design and manage, it is also more costly, but can provide significantly greater security by diversifying the firewall defense. A common design approach for this type of architecture using two firewall hosts with a demilitarized network (DMZ) between them separating the Internet and the internal network.
How does a firewall work?There are two access denial methodologies used by firewalls. A firewall may allow all traffic through unless it meets certain criteria, or it may deny all traffic unless it meets certain criteria (see figure ). The type of criteria used to determine whether traffic should be allowed through varies from one type of firewall to another. Firewalls may be concerned with the type of traffic, or with source or destination addresses and ports. They may also use complex rule bases that analyse the application data to determine if the traffic should be allowed through. How a firewall determines what traffic to let through depends on which network layer it operates at. A discussion on network layers and architecture follows.
What different types of firewalls are?
Firewalls fall into four broad categories: 1)packet filters, 2)circuit level gateways, 3)application level gateways and 4) stateful multilayer inspection firewalls.
Packet filtering firewalls work at the network level of the OSI model, or the IP layer of TCP/IP. They are usually part of a router. A router is a device that receives packets from one network and forwards them to another network. In a packet filtering firewall each packet is compared to a set of criteria before it is forwarded. Depending on the packet and the criteria, the firewall can drop the packet, forward it or send a message to the originator.
Circuit level gateways work at the session layer of the OSI model, or the TCP layer of TCP/IP. They monitor TCP handshaking between packets to determine whether a requested session is legitimate. Information passed to remote computer through a circuit level gateway appears to have originated from the gateway. This is useful for hiding information about protected networks. Circuit level gateways are relatively inexpensive and have the advantage of hiding information about the private network they protect. On the other hand, they do not filter individual packets.
Application level gateways, also called proxies, are similar to circuit-level gateways except that they are application specific. They can filter packets at the application layer of the OSI model. Incoming or outgoing packets cannot access services for which there is no proxy. In plain terms, an application level gateway that is configured to be a web proxy will not allow any ftp, gopher, telnet or other traffic through. Because they examine packets at application layer, they can filter application specific commands such as http:post and get, etc.
Stateful multilayer inspection firewalls combine the aspects of the other three types of firewalls. They filter packets at the network layer, determine whether session packets are legitimate and evaluate contents of packets at the application layer. They allow direct connection between client and host, alleviating the problem caused by the lack of transparency of application level gateways. They rely on algorithms to recognize and process application layer data instead of running application specific proxies. Stateful multilayer inspection firewalls offer a high level of security, good performance and transparency to end users. They are expensive however, and due to their complexity are potentially less secure than simpler types of firewalls if not administered by highly competent personnel

MethodIn order to perfom a BlueSnarf attack, the attacker needs to connect to the OBEX Push Profile (OPP), which has been specified for the easy exchange of business cards and other objects. In most of the cases, this service does not require authentication. Missing authentication is not a problem for OBEX Push, as long as everything is implemented correctly. The BlueSnarf attack connects to an OBEX Push target and performs an OBEX GET request for known filenames such as ‘telecom/pb.vcf’ for the devices phone book or ‘telecom/cal.vcs’ for the devices calendar file. (There are many more names of files in the IrMC Specification). In case of improper implementation of the device firmware, an attacker is able to retrieve all files where the name is either known or guessed correctly.

MOBILE HACKS
Blocking Cell Phone Number From Seen in Caller IDs
Freinds after reading this article you will be able to block your cell phone number from showing up on other people’s caller IDs. It’s very simple to block your cell phone number. You have two options: you can permanently block your phone number or you can block your number on a call by call basis.
Blocking Your Cell Phone Number Permanently:
The most permanent solution is to request a “line block” from your cell phone carrier.
1) To do this you simply need to call the customer service for your specific provider and they can block your number. When you do this your number will never show up to anyone.
2) To call your customer service to block your cell phone number, just dial 611 from your cell phone and you will reach them.
3) If there is a situation where you want your number to show up, you will still have an option. When you have a permanent block on your cell phone number you will need to dial *82 before dialing the number you are calling. When you do this your phone number will show up just once for that specific call. Ex: *82 (555) 555-5555.
Blocking Your Cell Phone Number Temporarily:
Sometimes you may want to block you number for a specific call. You might not want someone to know that you are trying to reach them for the 15th time in a row, or you might be calling a business and might not want them to know your number.
1) If you want to block your cell phone number on a call by call basis you need to dial *67 before dialing the number. Ex *67 (555) 555-5555.
2) When you do this you will not have any feedback that it worked. If you want to test this, just call your home phone, or anther phone that has a caller ID from your cell to confirm that your phone number is blocked.
NOTE:One important thing to remember is that your number will not be blocked from emergency services or any toll free numbers.
How to Find the Owner of a Cell Phone Number:
If you want to identify and unidentified phone number you can with reverse phone number search websites. You can do free reverse phone number search at http://www.infospace.com/ but if you want to find out who owns a cell phone number then use http://www.cellreversesearch.com/.

Skill of Jackie
While not afraid to do his own stunts, he confesses that, like many, he is afraid of needles and hates taking shots. Unlike injuries that may come from a failed stunt, with a shot he “knows that it’s coming.”
· Though Chan’s willingness to do his own stunts was originally the trademark feature of his movies, he has sustained various injuries over the years which render him incapable of performing certain stunts. He tries to avoid stunts where he may suffer severe head trauma due to a near fatal incident that occurred while shooting Armour of God. He has also broken his left ankle so many times, he can no longer rely on it while pushing for a jump and must use his right foot instead. Over the years, he has been forced to use body doubles on various occasions. He has also broken his fingers, toes, nose and ribs on numerous occasions while filming.
· His final fight with Benny Urquidez in Wheels on Meals is considered to be one of the finest fights of the movie genre.
· He knows Kung Fu, and has trained under GrandMaster Leung Ting in Wing Tsun, as well as numerous other masters in Tong Long (Mantis), Bak Mei (White Eyebrow), as well as the traditional northern Shaolin Kung Fu he learned in opera school. Jackie has also learned numerous other styles of martial arts to help his screen fighting, including Hapkido, Boxing, Judo, Taekwondo and Hei Long (Under Master G.J. Torres). Jackie’s personal style is said to be a mixture of Boxing, Wing Chun, Hapkido and Judo. He stated that some of his martial arts training has been attributed to Jin Pal Kim, a Korean hapkido stylist.
· While performing his own stunts, he has broken his nose three times, his ankle, most of the fingers in his hand, both cheekbones and his skull.
· Chan has won several awards including The American Choreography Award, The World Stunt Award and has a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, along with several awards from Hollywood, Hong Kong, Montreal World and Fant-Asia Film Festivals; but he has never won an Oscar. Currently there is a campaign underway to award him an Honorary Lifetime Achievement Academy Award.
* Was voted 41st in a poll of the 100 Greatest Movie Stars on Channel 4 in the UK.Chan appeared with, and was quickly “killed” by martial arts legend Bruce Lee in 1973’s Enter the Dragon in a very short scene where Chan plays one of Kahn’s guards.The character Lei Wulong from the Tekken video game series is heavily based on Jackie Chan, due to his looks and similar fighting style.
· A videogame called Jackie Chan Stuntmaster for the Playstation was made, of course with his name. Previously, an NES game called Jackie Chan’s Action Kung Fu was released.
· A television show, Jackie Chan Adventures, was based on Jackie Chan, his niece, and his uncle, as well as a shopkeeper. Videogames have also been made based on the show.
· He is the central subject of UK band Ash’s song Kung Fu, which is used for the end credits of the UK and US versions of Rumble in the Bronx.
· The Pokémon Hitmonchan is named after him (similar in style to how the Pokémon Hitmonlee is named after Bruce Lee).
· He helped to open Hong Kong Disneyland Resort in 2005.
· Chan had planned to star as Vin Diesel’s role in the movie The Pacifier, but due to busy arrangements, did not take the role.
· He was asked to play Wah Sing Ku in the Mel Gibson film Lethal Weapon 4 but turned down the part as he would have to play a criminal, Chan often says he doesn’t like to play real criminals as it is bad for his image, although he doesn’t mind playing either comical criminals or anti-heroes as in his newest film Rob-B-Hood. The part of Wah Sing Ku was later played by Jet Li.
· Although he did not voice the part, a likeness of him appeared in the Family Guy episode, Breaking Out Is Hard to Do, when Peter Griffin said, “Oh my god, it’s Jackie Chan!” three different times to three different asian people in Asiantown.
· He has appeared along side bodybuilder turned actor turned governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger in a government advert to combat piracy, which can be viewed here.In both the anime and manga series of Dragon Ball, a martial artist named Master Roshi disguises himself and uses the alias “Jackie Chun” to take part in a few martial arts tournaments to secretly test out the powers and abilities of Goku, the main character of the series.
· Appeared in 2 Diet Pepsi commercial in 2006.
· In the Internet movie The Ultimate Showdown, a likeness of him fought Shaquille O’ Neal, but was defeated by a Care Bear.
· Sung a duet of the Nat King Cole song Unforgettable with Ani DiFranco.
· He has declared that it is almost certain that he will, for the first time, partner another kung fu cinema legend Jet Li in an upcoming film that will start filming in spring 2007. The film has be dubbed The J&J Project.
· His nickname to the people of Hong Kong is Big Brother .
· He holds the record for the most number of takes for a single shot in a film, over 2900. (Dragon Lord for the marathon 20 minute fight that is the grand finale of the film.)
· In an interview unlocked in the videogame Jackie Chan Stunt master (A game where he was motion captured for game animations), Chan stated that he likes to play video games .
