The internet is considered as an effective tool that ensures communications globally. However, this has been hindered by hackers and crackers continuously. In doing so, a multitude of network-facilitated tools such as firewalls, virtual private networks (VPN) and a variety of antivirus software packages have been developed to deal with such predicaments. More often than not these facilitated tools are marketed as perfect solutions to the ever-culminating problems such as loss of data and privacy in the networked and world wide intercommunications. This paper aims to address these perceived problems.
