Hmm, i don't know what you are talking about: there is an antivirus product based on Linux (that is: a bootable CD with a Live sysstem with some antivirus software), which is called Knoppix. You can freely download it, but it is not scanning online. It is designed to boot up a system from a non-compromisable source (CD) and scan it.

Probably you mean some firewall with so-called "stateful inspection". Basically it is decoding the datastreams it routes and allows/forbids certain things based on rules. While a normal firewall would, for instance, allow telnet sessions to a certain host a stateful-inspection firewall would be able to allow telnet to this host, but forbid a certain command to be issued.

Was wondering if this lil processor could handle the firewall with a squid proxy server and router. Coz this is what I understand would be a great setup...

Probably it would, because - depending on the amount of IP traffic - the tax on the processor is pretty small. Every firewall, btw., is already a router, since a firewall works on Layer 4, while a router works on Layer 3.

Have fun building this and be sure to tell us what finally worked and what you did to make it work.

fwb_ipfw(1)							 Firewall Builder						       fwb_ipfw(1)

NAME

       fwb_ipfw - Policy compiler for ipfw

SYNOPSIS

       fwb_ipfw [-vVx] [-d wdir] [-o output.fw] [-i] -f data_file.xml object_name

DESCRIPTION

       fwb_ipfw is a firewall policy compiler component of Firewall Builder (see fwbuilder(1)). This compiler generates code for ipfw - a firewall
       and traffic shaper in FreeBSD (see ipfw(8)). Compiler reads objects definitions and firewall description from the data file specified  with
       "-f" option and generates firewall configuration and activation script.

       The  generated file has a name that starts with the name of the firewall object, with an extension ".fw". It is a shell script that flushes
       current policy, then loads new filter and nat rules.

       The data file and the name of the firewall objects must be specified on the command line. Other command line parameters are optional.

OPTIONS

       -f FILE
	      Specify the name of the data file to be processed.

       -o output.fw
	      Specify output file name

       -d wdir
	      Specify working directory.  Compiler creates firewall activation script in this directory.  If this parameter is missing,  then  all
	      files will be placed in the current working directory.

       -v     Be verbose: compiler prints diagnostic messages when it works.

       -V     Print version number and quit.

       -i     When this option is present, the last argument on the command line is supposed to be firewall object ID rather than its name

       -x     Generate debugging information while working. This option is intended for debugging only and may produce lots of cryptic messages.

NOTES

       Support for ipfw was added in version 1.0.10 of Firewall Builder
