Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
A stateful firewall is a network firewall that tracks the operating state and characteristics of network connections traversing it. The firewall is configured to distinguish legitimate packets for different types of connections. Only packets matching a known active connection (session) are allowed to pass the firewall.

Based on CE-Council, this is a definition of Circuit level FW: Circuit-Level Gateway Firewall A circuit-level gateway firewall works at the session layer of the OSI model or transport layer of TCP/IP. It forwards data between networks without verification and blocks incoming packets from the host but allows the traffic to pass through itself. Information passed to remote computers through a circuit-level gateway will appear to have originated from the gateway, as the incoming traffic carries the IP address of the proxy (circuit-level gateway). Such firewalls monitor requests to create sessions and determine if those sessions will be allowed. Basicaly Statefull FW do the same what Circuit level FW and more. Therfore both answers are good
