Firewall Builder consists of a GUI and set of policy compilers for various firewall platforms. It helps users maintain a database of objects and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop operations. The GUI and policy compilers are completely independent, which provides for a consistent abstract model and the same GUI for different firewall platforms. It currently supports iptables, ipfilter, ipfw, OpenBSD pf, Cisco PIX and FWSM, and Cisco routers access lists. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
The built-in installer now uses scp (pscp.exe on Windows) to copy files to the firewall, which makes it work much faster. Optional data file compression was implemented. Support for pure mangle table rule sets for iptables was added. Significant improvements were made in the speed of the shadowing detection for all compilers (up to five times on large linear policies). There were numerous bugfixes and improvements in the GUI and policy compilers.
