I’m a bit confused; I thought all of these were related to security, but only some are actual firewall types.

I vaguely remember a practice question about different firewall types, and I think script and bot aren't correct options here.

I feel like we covered software firewalls in class, but I can't recall if they were the same as hardware ones.
