Methods that were sufficient in a small LAN are not sufficient when you connect to a much larger network. If authentication methods fail, resource protections mean very little because an attacker can pretty much become whichever user he wants. Resource protections do not provide complete security against intruders. With an Internet connection, you expose your network to many more potential intruders than you can imagine. To protect network resources, further measures must be taken. Firewalls, the topic of this book, are the next major step.
Consider this example. Router B receives an IP packet from Router A that is destined for Router X. Router B does have the capability of sending the packet to another hop in its journey to Router X but, on consulting its routing table, finds that there is a quicker route that Router A can use to get the packet delivered. In this case, Router B can send an ICMP Redirect packet back to Router A to tell it of this new route. If Router A is responding to Redirect messages, it updates its own routing table, and from then on when it wants to send an IP packet to Router X, it uses the new route and does not route the packet to Router B.
When a "Trojan Horse" application has been copied to your system, it can open up other security holes and even take steps to hide itself from your normal system utilities. • If the hacker has already compromised your system by guessing a username and password, the files that are available using that identity can be stolen by the hacker. Your data is only as safe as the resource protections your operating system provides. • A particularly bad hack that can be accomplished by FTP is to simply keep transferring large files to your computer until the disk storage is full.
