Firewall Builder 3.0.3 (Default branch)
ImageFirewall Builder consists of a GUI and set ofpolicy compilers for various firewall platforms.It helps users maintain a database of objects andallows policy editing using simple drag-and-dropoperations. The GUI and policy compilers arecompletely independent, which provides for aconsistent abstract model and the same GUI fordifferent firewall platforms. It currentlysupports iptables, ipfilter, ipfw, OpenBSD pf, Cisco PIX and FWSM, and Cisco routers access lists.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
Problems with storing IPv6 addresses on FreeBSD have been fixed. GUI stability on operations of copying multiple objects between different data files has been improved. The parser for Cisco IOS configurations can now import configurations with a wider range of constructs. Support for non-ASCII characters in the RCS commit comments has been implemented.Image

fwb_ipfw

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
