-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-12187 2009-11-25 13:38:05 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : Vuurmuur Product : Fedora 12 Version : 0.7 Release : 7.fc12 URL : http://www.vuurmuur.org/ Summary : Firewall manager built on top of iptables Description : Vuurmuur is a powerful middle-end/front-end for netfilter/iptables aimed at system-administrators who need a decent firewall, but don't have netfilter specific knowledge.
The program is basicly split into three pieces. One piece (the middle-end) converts humanly-readable rules, hosts, groups, networks, zones, interfaces and services into a iptables ruleset (or optional into a bash-script). The second part is a little daemon that converts the netfiler logs to easy readable logs, that reflect all the predefined objects described above. The third part is a Ncurses-based Gui (the front-end) in which one can manage the firewall. Most important here is the real-time feedback. Logs can be viewed in real-time, using colours for easy interpretation. Also, the current connections can be viewed in real-time. Filtering possibilities make it easy to monitor specific hosts or services.
