A feature of a stateful inspection firewall is that it is capable of detecting and blocking sophisticated
attacks. A stateful inspection firewall is a type of firewall that monitors and analyzes the state and
context of network traffic. It keeps track of the source, destination, protocol, port, and session
information of each packet and compares it with a set of predefined rules. A stateful inspection
firewall can detect and block attacks that exploit the logic or behavior of network protocols or
applications, such as fragmentation attacks, session hijacking, or application-layer attacks.
