Discuss GAQM CPEH-001 Exam Topic 3 Question 38

Peter is a Linux network admin. As a knowledgeable security consultant, he turns to you to look for help on a firewall. He wants to use Linux as his firewall and use the latest freely available version that is offered. What do you recommend?Select the best answer.

AIpchains

BIptables

CCheckpoint FW for Linux

DIpfwadm
Explanations:
Ipchains was improved over ipfwadm with its chaining mechanism so that it can have multiple rulesets. However, it isn't the latest version of a free Linux firewall. Iptables replaced ipchains and is the latest of the free Linux firewall tools. Any Checkpoint firewall is not going to meet Jason's desire to have a free firewall. Ipfwadm is used to build Linux firewall rules prior to 2.2.0. It is a outdated version.

Ipfwadm? That's ancient history, no way!

I thought ipchains was still relevant? Surprised to hear it's outdated.

Wait, isn't Checkpoint FW a good option?

Totally agree, Iptables is the best choice here.

Iptables is the way to go! It's the latest and free.

Ipfwadm sounds familiar, but I think it’s really outdated. I’m leaning towards iptables too, but I hope I’m not missing something!

I feel like I’ve seen practice questions where iptables was always the recommended answer for Linux firewalls. It seems like the safest bet.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think ipchains was phased out for iptables, right? So, that might not be the best option.

Yun 1 year ago

I remember studying that iptables is the most current and widely used firewall for Linux. I think it’s the right choice here.

I think the key here is understanding the specific requirements for a GVP solution. If I can recall those, I should be able to identify the correct answer.

I'm a bit confused on this one. The options seem similar, and I'm not sure which one is the most accurate. I'll need to review my notes on high-availability configurations.

I think the "Direct LUN Access" lets servers access LUN5 directly, but I'm not entirely sure if it's file-based storage.

Pedro 1 year ago

I think seeking ideas from stakeholders is valuable, but it doesn't really help us measure the current cycle time, right?

I'm leaning towards option A because it sounds similar to a practice scenario we did regarding compliance with international trade regulations.
