Abstract

Systems dedicated to information security reach different levels of computer users. Considering the domestic users, it is observed that some programs aimed at information security are not customarily employed. Given this, this paper aims to assess the usability of two lines of such software, systems port scans and firewalls. A systematic review will address issues related to ease of use of programs in information security. Finally, qualitative and quantitative assessments aim to portray the interaction between users and the main programs for packet filtering and port scanners, especially, presenting difficulties for these jobs noncommercial computing environments.
