Solution

The type of firewall that inspects XML packet payloads for things like executable code, a target IP address that makes sense, and a known source IP address is an XML Gateway.

Here's why:

  1. An XML Gateway: This type of firewall is specifically designed to handle XML/ SOAP payloads. It can inspect the payload of each packet and apply rules based on the content. This includes checking for executable code, verifying the target IP address, and checking the source IP address. So, this is the correct answer.

  2. An application-level firewall: While this type of firewall does inspect packet payloads, it is not specifically designed to handle XML packets. It works at the application layer of the OSI model and can filter traffic based on user, group, or application rules.

  3. A packet-filtering firewall: This type of firewall operates at the network layer of the OSI model. It checks each packet against a set of rules but does not inspect the payload for specific content like an XML Gateway does.

  4. All of the above: This is not correct because, as explained, not all these types of firewalls inspect XML packet payloads for things like executable code, a target IP address that makes sense, and a known source IP address. Only the XML Gateway does.
