00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.759
were most people asked to imagine a wall of fire they might think of the pyrot

00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:10.440
teic seen on any First Rate metal band

00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:15.200
stage but unfortunately firewall Protection Services aren't quite as awe

00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:19.720
inspiring as all that that's not to imply though that they aren't terribly

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:24.039
important or that meltdowns caused by failing to ensure proper firewall

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:28.840
protections can't be as damaging as the direct blast of a flamethrower firewalls

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:33.559
adopt their name and function directly from physical structure stres that stand

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:37.480
between danger often fire and fragile stuff like your face and computer

00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:42.160
firewalls actually do bear some similarity to their RL counterparts they

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:46.120
work to protect users and their information not from thermal energy but

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:49.480
instead from the scum and villainy which occupy The Wretched hives of the open

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:53.760
internet generally speaking there are two layers of firewall protection which

00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:58.920
operate in conjunction with both hard and software to carry out a given set of

00:00:56.440 --> 00:01:02.719
rules Hardware firewall Solutions are automatically built into to the routers

00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:06.560
that most of us are using today these work by tagging all outgoing traffic

00:01:04.839 --> 00:01:11.759
from a private Network like the one in our home with a specific network ID that

00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:15.600
is then also attached to any corresponding incoming traffic this

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:20.240
allows the router to determine the origin of incoming packets blocking any

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:24.680
transfers which weren't initiated from behind the firewall it also prevents

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:29.320
files from being downloaded without a user's knowledge and stops firststep

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:33.159
intrusions known as port scan attacks letting us feel feel safe that the

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:36.600
update for our favorite new game is what it says and not some piece of spyware

00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:41.439
that will constantly spam us with adverts for pills that improve performance I'm not sure where I got the

00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:45.320
idea I need those from software-based protections function by monitoring the

00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:49.399
Integrity of flowing traffic processes through variables such as incoming and

00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:53.880
destination IP addresses transfer times or download sizes and killing

00:01:51.399 --> 00:01:57.439
connections that don't meet expectations these are advantageous because they

00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:02.600
monitor outgoing traffic as well as incoming blocking programs such as IP

00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:06.520
spoofing ones from attacking individual machines once they've infiltrated a

00:02:04.759 --> 00:02:10.520
network these are what allow us to transfer files between our friends

00:02:08.399 --> 00:02:14.840
without worrying that a third party has attached something along the way or feel

00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:19.040
safe when constantly transferring packets during things such as an online

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:24.000
gaming session knowing that any unapproved packets will be detected by

00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:28.480
the firewall in fact often times the largescale data thefts we hear about

00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:32.920
come as a result of some entity which has gone and painted a giant Target on

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:37.360
their back by not implementing strong enough active firewall protection

00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:43.080
allowing unwanted information transfers to remain disguised as authentic ones so

00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:47.560
while in theory firewall protections work as seamlessly as their physical

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:51.640
predecessors in practice these types of solutions can require a little bit more

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:56.840
attention than your average W made of brick pretty well anyone who has ever

00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.000
installed a new game or component has

00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:02.680
run into that annoying Windows prompt asking them if they're really sure they

00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:05.400
wish to connect and update the software which won't even be enough if your

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:11.840
router doesn't automatically get configured in the process and they can be used for things like Regional

00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:15.879
information censorship as well but while they're not all good news no matter how

00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:21.120
arbitrary a warning message might seem or how annoying its accompanying beep is

00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:25.080
these grievances are nothing compared to the sound your customers and partners

00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:30.720
will make when all of their credit cards and other information has been stolen

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:38.159
why did they put a that logo behind me speaking of logos let's swap that out

00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:41.400
fractal Josh has decided to mercifully

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:44.239
spare me this week all I have to do this

00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:49.040
time is tell you guys about their Sleek clean Scandinavian design their

00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:54.519
excellent cases power supplies and cooling products and how you can check

00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:56.760
those out at fractal dasd design.com

00:03:54.519 --> 00:04:00.560
that's all I have to say but actually there's another thing I have to say that

00:03:57.959 --> 00:04:04.000
was a total lie he's put me through a lot over the last 10 months and

00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:07.879
apparently there's going to be a clip show or something like that so it's not

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:10.280
actually really any less embarrassing if I don't have to do those things again if

00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:16.519
I'm showing them to you guys again but don't worry too much about that the point is Josh wants you to let fractal

00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:21.320
design know what you thought of this whole humiliate Linus promotion on their

00:04:19.320 --> 00:04:25.520
Facebook page the should they bring these spots back what do you want to see

00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:30.280
from them in the future so that's pretty much it there's

00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:33.240
a link in the video description thanks for watching this episode as fast as

00:04:31.960 --> 00:04:38.120
