What is the defining characteristic of a stateful firewall?
✓ Correct Answer: B
A stateful firewall maintains a connection (state) table, so reply packets for an allowed outbound flow are permitted without an explicit inbound rule. Inspecting only source IP in isolation describes a basic packet filter. Manual per-flow approval is not how firewalls operate, and encryption is the job of VPN or TLS, not the state engine.
What distinguishes an IPS from an IDS?
✓ Correct Answer: A
An Intrusion Prevention System sits inline and can drop or reset malicious traffic, whereas an IDS typically only detects and alerts. Logging without action describes an IDS. An IPS works at network and application layers, not physical cabling, and it complements rather than replaces a firewall in a defense-in-depth design.
