Voor het configureren en beheren van een firewall gebaseerd op netfilter/iptables kan je gebruik maken van het programma vuurmuur. Dit programma maakt het leven van een systeembeheerder iets eenvoudiger door de complexiteit van het configureren van netfilter uit handen te nemen. Via de meegeleverde interface kan je overzichtelijk rules, hosts, groups, zones, interfaces en services aangeven en real-time de logbestanden uitlezen. Voor een overzicht van een aantal screenshots verwijzen we jullie door naar deze pagina. De ontwikkelaars hebben vuurmuur 0.5.73 naar buiten gebracht met de volgende aankondiging:
Hi everyone,
After the new site at http://www.vuurmuur.org/ I'm now pleased to announce Vuurmuur version 0.5.73. This release both adds a number of new features and fixes a lot of bugs. To start with the latter, many bugs in the log and connection management were fixed. Also, Vuurmuur can handle systems with nf_conntrack much better. There were lots of smaller fixes all over the program.
In the new feature department there is support for NFQUEUE (which is nice if you run Snort_inline), rule limits that are now optional for all rules, and limits that can also be limited in minutes, hours or days.
I've pasted the full changelog below.
Regards,
Victor
