A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using recombinant DNA [[genetic engineering]] techniques.  In most cases, genes are cut using the [[escherichia coli]] bacteria. Other gene sequences are then inserted into the gap created, and the gene parts are reconnected.

A '''firewall''' is a system which filters network and permits presumably safe [[internet]]/intranet traffic while blocking suspicious or unwanted communication.<ref>https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/firewall</ref> There are several types of firewall and methods of filtering.
 
−
==Physical and Virtual==
 
−
Firewalls can be either physical devices which sit on the network between the Internet and the internal client, or software systems which are installed onto the client's device.
 
−
===Hardware==
 
−
Hardware firewalls are generally considered the best front-line of defense. When an incoming connection reaches the protected network, the connection must first go through this hardware firewall.  If the connection is unwanted, it will generally be ignored.  In this case, the entity attempting to connect will simply have their request time out.  Some will outright reject the request, which is a less effective defense method. (If rejected outright, a potential attacker will know he has found an active device, whereas if the request is ignored, it will be more difficult to know if there is even a device to connect to.)<br />
 
−
To the outside world, there is only one device (the firewall) on the protected network. Even when a connection is permitted, the communication still passes through the firewall using a specified port.  Therefore, even active connections do not reveal the internal [[IP address]] of devices.<br />
 
−
However, Hardware firewalls often do not know what connections are being used for.  Most do not collect the packets and reassemble messages, so connections can be abused without the firewall knowing.  Even the ones which do attempt to analyze traffic can have difficulty understanding what is going on. [[Encryption]] almost guarantees that the firewall will be ignorant.
 
−
===Software==
 
−
Software firewalls are not typically considered a good first line of defense, but a good addition to a tiered defense system.  They digitally intercept and attempt to analyze traffic on the client's system.  Anything not seen as a threat is allowed through to the rest of the device's system and applications. Since this kind of firewall operates on the [[OSI model]]'s application layer, it has an easier time of understanding what the communication link is being used for.<br />
 
−
However, unwanted communication must be blocked at the computer (or mobile device), so the communication has already gotten through the hardware firewall (assuming there is one).

The following is personal workspace. Once content is ready, I will migrate it to the appropriate location. I may use this for any number of purposes, but generally it will be used for drafts.
Please to not change the value of this content. If you see a typo or some other small problem, feel free to change this. For anything else, please ask first. Thanks!
