What are the Limitations of Packet Filtering Firewalls?
While packet filtering firewalls are effective, they do have some limitations:
1. Lack of Deep Inspection: Since they only examine packet headers, they may miss threats hidden in the payload. 2. Static Rules: The rules are predefined and static, meaning they may not adapt well to evolving threats. 3. Limited Context: They don't understand the context of the packet, which can lead to false positives or negatives.
