Configuring a Host Based Firewall

Log back into the Windows $7$ machine and see

which programs are allowed access through the

firewall.

$\frac{?}{{?}_{\frac{?}{?}}}$ Programs that are allowed through will be

marked as exceptions.

Rules can be set to allow or block inbound or

outbound connections. Create a new rule that

blocks all ICMP traffic trying to enter the system

$($inbound$).$

Next, create a rule to block all traffic from the IP

address, $192\mathrm{.}168\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}101.$

Lastly, verify again the Firewall is on and is set to

log any dropped packets.
