Software Firewalls: Made of Straw? Part 1 of 2
Israel G. Lugo, Don Parker

The concept of a firewall still brings to mind the picture of an impenetrable brick wall, the unsurpassable magic protector of all that is good. The bold statements made by today's security vendors only emphasize this, with claims of complete and automatic security, with a wall able to block all perils dead in their tracks using logic that perhaps didn't exist two years ago. But what if in reality the wall of the firewall is made of straw?

I dont mean to be rude man, but if you dont know the difference between a hardware and software firewall then you have no business reading this article. If you google "difference between hardware and software firewalls" I am sure you will come up with tonnes of docs that can help you out there.
