Match the following with their description:

PF (Packet Filter) = Firewall management tool for fine-grained control over network traffic Little Snitch = Application firewall for macOS that monitors and controls outgoing network connections DD-WRT = Linux-based firmware for routers adding advanced features including firewall capabilities pfSense = Open-source firewall and router platform based on FreeBSD with firewalling, routing, VPN, and more

Match the following with their primary usage:

Mac-host based firewalls like IceFloor and Murus = Provide user-friendly interfaces for configuring PF rules Hardware firewalls = Standalone devices designed to protect entire networks from external threats PFLIST = Tool for managing PF rulesets on macOS systems Network based firewalls like pfSense, Smoothwall, and VyOS = Offer a wide range of features including firewalling, routing, VPN, and more

Match the following with their function:

IceFloor and Murus = Graphical interfaces to manage PF rules and firewall configurations on Mac computers Router – DD-WRT = Adds advanced features, including firewall capabilities, to a wide range of router models Hardware firewalls = Deployed at the network perimeter to provide robust security features PF (Packet Filter) = Allows fine-grained control over network traffic on macOS systems

Match the following with their feature:

Little Snitch = Monitors outgoing network connections on a per-application basis pfSense = Offers firewalling, routing, VPN, and more as features based on FreeBSD PFLIST = Tool specifically for managing PF rulesets on macOS systems DD-WRT = Linux-based firmware providing advanced features including firewall capabilities

Match the following with their overview: Mac-host based firewalls - Application and PF

Smoothwall = Linux-based network operating system VyOS = Firewall solutions for Mac computers DD-WRT = Firmware for routers enhancing capabilities Little Snitch = Application firewall for macOS

Match the following with their example: Mac-host based firewalls - PFLIST, IceFloor, and Murus

pfSense = Open-source firewall and router platform IceFloor = Setting up rules to block incoming connections on Mac CSS = Styling web pages SQL = Database queries

Match the following with their primary usage: Network based firewalls - Router - DD-WRT

PF = Control over network traffic at application level JavaScript = Client-side scripting for web applications VyOS = Linux-based network operating system DD-WRT = Enhancing router capabilities including firewall features

Match the following with their deployment scenario: Network based firewalls - Hardware

Hardware firewalls = Standalone devices protecting entire networks from external threats Router-based firewalls = Firmware for routers enhancing capabilities CSS = Styling web pages Python = General-purpose programming language

Match the following with their specific feature: Mac-host based firewalls - Little Snitch

Smoothwall = Designed for small to medium-sized networks Little Snitch = Monitors outgoing connections and controls app access to internet pfSense = Open-source firewall and router platform SQL = Database queries

Match the following with their management interface: Mac-host based firewalls - PFLIST, IceFloor, and Murus

IceFloor = Manages PF rules on macOS to configure firewall settings VyOS = Linux-based network operating system Smoothwall = Another open-source firewall and router solution JavaScript = Client-side scripting for web applications

Explore firewall solutions that run directly on macOS systems, including PF (Packet Filter) for fine-grained control over network traffic. Learn about user-friendly interfaces provided by Mac-host based firewalls like IceFloor and Murus for configuring PF rules.
