A firewall is a security tool that filters network traffic based on an implicit deny stance. It blocks all traffic by default, but rules, filters or ACLs can be defined to allow certain traffic to cross it. Advanced firewalls can make allow/deny decisions based on user authentication, protocol, header values, and even payload contents.
A hacker is a person who modifies program code or a computer system to alter its abilities and capabilities. They can be either ethical and authorized or malicious and unauthorized. Hackers can vary in skill level from professionals to script kiddies who have little knowledge and only follow directions.
A honeypot is a decoy system used to distract attackers from actual production systems. It is designed to look and function like a real system and may contain false data to trick attackers. It can also help discover new attacks or the identity of attackers.
IDS is a security tool that detects intruders and security violations and notifies admins or triggers a response. It's a passive tool that detects compromises after they occur.
An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) detects and prevents security threats by blocking IP addresses, services, ports, and sessions, and notifying administrators.
