Guarddog
 Guarddog is a firewall generation/management utility.
Guarddog is aimed at two groups of users, namely novice to
intermediate users who are not experts in TCP/IP networking and security, and those
users who do not want the hassle of dealing with cryptic shell scripts and
ipchains/iptables parameters. It allows you simply specify which protocols should be
allowed and requires no knowledge of port numbers. Generates
scripts for ipchains.
Features include:
- Easy to use goal oriented GUI
- Application protocol based. Unlike other tools, Guarddog
does not
require you to understand the ins and outs of IP packets and ports.
This also reduces the chances of configuration
mistakes being made which are a prime source of security holes.
- Lets you maintain and modify the firewall in place.
- Hosts/networks can be divided into Zones. Different zones
can have
different security policies for different.
- Supports router configurations.
- Runs on KDE 2 or 3, and Linux 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 series
kernels.
- Supports advanced Linux 2.4+ iptables features such as
connection tracking
and rate limited logging.
- Firewall scripts can be Imported/Exported for use on
machines other than
the current one.
- DHCP support.
- Uses a "what is not explicitly allowed, is denied"
philosophy. Fail-safe design.
