FLAKFENCE A hardware-based Network Security Solution

Abstract

Networks are becoming more and more complex with each passing day and their usage in our daily lives is also increasing. People use networks more than they think about them. nowadays people even transfer their hard-earned money using these networks. However, with the increased use of networks, they have become more vulnerable and are at the attacker's mercy. So, a need for a product that can secure our network is great. Our product, ‘Flakfence’ will provide a solution. This device is controlled by the admin who sets up the policies. It would render network security by filtering ingress and egress network traffic based on a bunch of administrators characterized rules. It would protect against a wide variety of network attacks, espionage, and infiltrations and would also offer an inbound and outbound firewall with intrusion detection and prevention capabilities. The user can have an elaborate view of all connected devices along with network activities. It would also give the user complete control of the network he/she is connected to, from blocking web pages and cutting off access to unwanted devices. Moreover, Database server is set up online, thereby actively monitoring and detecting any suspicious connection from anywhere in the world. It would monitor each IP address pinged by each device on the user’s network.
