sko wijst ons op het bestaan van m0n0wall. Dit besturingssysteem is gebaseerd op FreeBSD en is ontwikkeld om een pc om te toveren naar een firewall en een webserver met PHP-ondersteuning. De nieuwste versie van m0n0wall is genummerd als 1.0 en te downloaden in verschillende smaken. Het changelog van deze release ziet er als volgt uit:
1.0
- fixed port validation on filter, shaper and NAT pages, and fixed ranges that include 1 or 65535
- fixed configuration backup download problem with Internet Explorer
- fixed typo on general setup page
- show hostname on system status page
- traffic shaping now works on bridged interfaces
- added note about proxy ARP to NAT pages
- changed DNS override description on system setup page (DNS servers assigned via PPP on WAN don't work)
- imported modified version of choparp that supports IP address ranges; modified webGUI to allow proxy ARP with ranges
- uploaded images are now verified using public-key cryptography - if the digital signature is not correct, a warning is displayed (the user is allowed to continue anyway though). The format of the signed images can be found here, and the public key used to verify the images is here. This release has not been signed to avoid problems when upgrading older versions (it wouldn't make sense anyway because pb versions do not verify it).
