used to service outside network connections and dial-in lines. The idea is
to protect a cluster of more loosely administered machines hidden behind it
from <a href="../C/cracker.html"><i class="glossterm">cracker</i></a>s. The typical firewall is an
inexpensive micro-based Unix box kept clean of critical data, with a bunch
of modems and public network ports on it but just one carefully watched
connection back to the rest of the cluster. The special precautions may
include threat monitoring, callback, and even a complete
<a href="../I/iron-box.html"><i class="glossterm">iron box</i></a> keyable to particular incoming IDs or activity patterns.
