SlackFire

SlackFire is an iptables script written especially for Slackware. The main purpose of the script is to protect a stand-alone machine or a small network with a stateful firewall that can be configured easily.

Automatic Firewall configurator for Desktop and Gateway machines

Automatic Firewall configures your firewall by looking at your environment and deciding what is a good fit for your needs. It is intended for the novice broadband user to install and forget about, but still be fairly well protected.

rope

ROPE is a simple scripting language that allows firewall packet-matching rules to be written for linux’s Iptables. Example scripts supplied with the software include minimal false-positive matches for P2P protocols such as eDonkey, Bittorrent, Gnutella – etc.

Endian Firewall

Endian Firewall is a “turn-key” linux security distribution based on IPCop that turns every system into a full featured security appliance. The software has been designed with “usability in mind” and is very easy to install, use and mange, without losing its flexibility.

The features include a stateful packet inspection firewall, application-level proxies for various protocols (HTTP, POP3, SMTP) with antivirus support, virus and spamfiltering for email traffic (POP and SMTP), content filtering of Web traffic and a “hassle free” VPN solution (based on OpenVPN). The main advantage of Endian Firewall is that it is a pure “Open Source” solution that is commercially supported by Endian.

Firetable

Firetable is an IPtables firewall script for Linux. It has no graphical interface. All the configuration is done via configurationfiles. This makes Firetable ideal for servers. In the configurationfiles, you can write normal sentences. Example:

accept incoming tcp to server:22
accept incoming udp from ntp.isp.com to domain:123
dnat tcp to server:80 -> webserver.lan
forward tcp to webserver.lan:80

This is of course much easier than the iptables commandline options.

netfilter

netfilter is a firewall, NAT, and transparent proxy solution for Server-optimized Linux.

Integrated Secure Communications System

Alternative to expensive network security management frameworks such as Solsoft, SmartPipes and Provider1.

High-level policies create and distribute low-level device rules for firewall, VPN, router and user authentication (IP address and X.509 DN for now – others to come).

The use of modular rules, dual hierarchies of users and resources with inheritance and a sophisticated GUI produce a 90% reduction in time to manage network security configuration over proprietary, commercial frameworks.

Although development work has been done using Linux, iptables and openswan, the extensible architecture of ISCS enables it to potentially manage almost any vendor’s network security equipment.

shorewall

Shorewall is an iptables based firewall for Linux systems.

Shorewall simply works by offering high level control of netfilter, through which firewall rules are entered. Shorewall then lets netfilter and iptables run as normal with the configuraton modified through Shorewall’s interface.

The Shorewall configuration interface is designed for power use, and it can also be used to configure router rules for iptables to implement.
