For HTTP, the server listens on port 80 for incoming connection request. The user end is on TCP port number above 1023. To build a stateful inspection filter rule set allowing inbound and outbound HTTP traffic, you generate the following rule set: Describe the effect of each rule

The following questions are related to HTTP protocol Q1. The first line of a HTTP request from some client to some server is basically made of where the web page file path is added. The path is shown as folders separated by slash. Q2. If an HTTP server responds to a client request and the response is a success, what is the http code and string that marks a success response? Must provide the code and the string as they appear in TCPDump or Wireshark traces. (note: use upper case for the string and also proper spacing in you answers. Keep the order of the string and the code as seen in TCPDump) Answer: code and string that marks a success response Q3.

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the standard protocol for transferring mail between hosts. A TCP connection is set up between a user agent and a server program. The server listens on TCP port 25 for incoming connection requests. The user end of the connection is on a TCP port number above 1023. You have defined the packet filter rule set shown in the table below. These rules permit and/or deny inbound and outbound traffic between the user agent and the mail server. Describe the purpose of each packet filter rule in the table.  Rule Direction Source Address Destination Address Protocol Destination Port Action A2 In External Internal TCP 25 Permit B2 Out Internal External TCP > 1023 Permit C2 Out Internal External TCP 25 Permit D2 In External Internal TCP > 1023 Permit E2 Either Any Any Any Any Deny

Q: Imagine a Web server that maintains a table in which client IP addresses are mapped to the most recently accessed Web pages. When a client connects to the server, the server looks up the client in its table, and if found, returns the registered page. Is this server stateful or stateless?
