“FAME”: FSPYING & SOLVING FIREWALL ANOMALIES

Abstract

Advent of many emerging computing technologies became very catchy to users. So, usage of technology increasing very rapidly day by day. Security became major issue. People who are working through the internet suffer from unintended security leakages by unauthorised actions in an organization and also problems created by hackers through the malicious codes. To overcome the security issues we have a concept called “firewall” .Network fire alls guard an internal computer network (home, school, business intranet) against malicious access from the outside. Network firewalls may also be configured to limit access to the outside from internal users. In this paper, we elaborate FAME(firewall anomaly management environment) and we will have a glance on firewall anomalies and resolving techniques. In addition we are going explain few concepts practically and also representing diagrammatically
