  • Method of processing data traffic at a firewall
    Publication number: 20060005238
    Abstract: A method of processing data traffic at a firewall has been developed. The method prevents unauthorized access to a computer system by first receiving a SYN request for access to a destination in the system at a firewall. Upon receipt of a SYN request, the firewall sends a reply with an SYN/ACK message with changed packet information within the SYN/ACK message. The firewall receives an ACK message in reply to the SYN/ACK message. After the ACK message is authenticated by the firewall, the SYN request is recreated and forwarded to the destination in the system.
