Plus’ firewall can also block common hacker attacks, including
IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length,
Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null

network it is defined by certain characteristics. Incoming information
is then compared to these sets of characteristics. If the incoming data
matches the predefined set of characteristics the incoming traffic is
allowed. If no match is found the incoming traffic is discarded.

tunnel for passing secure data over the Internet (i.e., a
