Re: Anyone studying for Cisco certs?

Wouldn't the Adaptive Security Algorithm combined with the stateful packet filter accomplish the same thing as stateful packet inspection?  I have no idea about the IP spoof checker either.

There is some difference.  So that I won't mangle the language, here is a 
link.

http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/S/stateful_inspection.html

And from Cisco's website:

In fact, only two accesses can be made through Cisco's PIX Firewall from 
outside the private network: 

Specific servers designated as static conduits through the PIX Firewall, 
allowing access to a specific server on the inside private network--and 
that server alone 

Cut-through proxy authentication

If you do some reading, you'll see there is a difference in here.
