Why Firewall Builder?
Firewall Builder simplifies policy management for a variety of firewall platforms, including Netfilter/Iptables, ipfw, PF, Cisco PIX, and others. Firewall Builder provides a professional user interface for these platforms, simplifying management tasks.
With Firewall Builder, you can efficiently and accurately manage your firewall's security policies without the learning curve normally associated with command line interfaces. Instead of thinking in terms of commands and parameters, you simply create a set of objects that describe your firewall, servers, and subnets. Then you implement your firewall policy by dragging objects into policy rules. You can also choose from a large collection of predefined objects that include many standard protocols and services. Once a policy is created in the GUI, you can compile it and install it on one or more appliances.
Prerequisites
Network and protocol knowledge (TCP, UDP, ICMP) is helpful, minimal basic Linux knowledge (SSH, execute command) is a plus.
