<h1>The 5 minutes introduction to Firewall Builder</h1>
<p>
If this is the first time you try Firewall Builder, we recommend you
start with<br>
<a href="http://www.fwbuilder.org/getting-started-4.0.0.html">
<font size="+1">Getting started guide</font></a> on our project
web site. The same Guide is also available inside the program, you
can launch it using main menu "Help/Tutorials".
</p>
<p>
Information about new features and changes in this version of the
program is available in <a href="file:release_notes_4.0.0.html">Release Notes v4.0</a>
</p>
<h2>Summary</h2>
<p>
Firewall Builder helps you write and manage configuration for your
firewalls. It writes iptables shell script, pf.conf file, Cisco
router access lists or PIX configuration for you. You can then
copy and paste configuration generated by Firewall Builder, copy
the file manually or using your own scripts, or use built-in
function to configure the firewall. Firewall Builder provides
change control and search functions. It allows you to reuse the
same address and service objects in rules of many firewalls. It
simplifies coordinated changes of the rules in multi-vendor
environments and helps avoid errors in generated configurations.
</p>
<p>
Firewall Builder can generate complex <strong>iptables</strong>,
<strong>PF</strong>, <strong>Cisco IOS extended access
lists</strong>, <strong>Cisco ASA (PIX)</strong>
configurations. You do not have to remember all the details of
their syntax and internal operation. This saves time and helps
avoid errors.
</p>
<p>
Rules built in the GUI look exactly the same and use the same set of
objects that describe your network regardless of the actual firewall
platform you use. You only need to learn the program once to be able
to build or modify basic configuration for iptables, PF, or Cisco
routers or firewalls. Already an expert in one or several firewall
platforms? Firewall Builder can help you utilize advanced features
too.
</p>
<p>
Configuration files for the target firewall are auto-generated so
they don't have syntax errors and typos. Firewall Builder has
information about features and limitations of supported firewall
platforms. Avoid detecting errors when you actually enter commands
on the firewall, when it is already too late. Fwbuilder helps you
avoid many types of errors in the first place, for example it can
detect rule shadowing, one of the signs of errors in the policy
structure.
</p>
<p>
Create an object to represent your network, a server or service once
and use it many times. Port number or an address changes ? No need
to scan all rules of all routers and firewalls to find it. Just
change it in the object, recompile and push updated configuration
and you are done. At the same time, the GUI provides
<strong>powerful search functions</strong> that help you find all
rules of all firewalls that use some object and
perform <strong>search and replace</strong> operations.
</p>
<p>
If you work for a large distributed organization with many
administrators, you can assemble address and service objects that
describe your network in a library and save it to a data file, then
distribute it for other administrators to use. You can create your
own templates for the firewall objects and rules and use them to
quickly create new configurations.
</p>
<p>
Firewall Builder helps perform transitions between different
versions of the same firewall
(<strong>iptables</strong>, <strong>PF</strong>, <strong>PIX</strong>);
from one platform to another; from <strong>IPv4 to IPv6</strong>.
</p>
<p>
You work with an abstract policy that operates with objects. We
spend time studying differences between iptables and PIX or between
different versions of each so that you don't have to.
</p>
<p>
Firewall Builder makes it easy to add IPv6 rules to the existing
firewall policy. Create objects describing your IPv6 network, add
them to the same rule set that defines your security policy for
IPv4 and configure it as "mixed IPv4+IPv6 rule set". The program
will generate two configurations from it, one for IPv4 and another
for IPv6, using correct objects for each. There is no need to
maintain two policies in parallel for the whole time of transition
from IPv4 to IPv6.
</p>
<p>
You can generate configuration for a range of devices starting from
small <strong>Linksys</strong>, <strong>D-Link</strong> and other
routers running <strong>DD-WRT</strong> or <strong>OpenWRT</strong>,
to firewalls running <strong>Linux</strong>, <strong>FreeBSD</strong>
or <strong>OpenBSD</strong> on a regular or purpose-built PC,
to <strong>Cisco routers</strong> and <strong>Cisco ASA
(PIX)</strong> firewalls.
</p>
<p>
Firewall Builder has been designed to manage both <strong>dedicated
remote firewalls</strong> and <strong>local firewall
configurations</strong> for servers, workstations and laptops.
</p>
<p>
Firewall Builder can generate scripts that set
up <strong>interfaces</strong>, <strong>IP
addresses</strong>, <strong>SNMP</strong>, <strong>NTP</strong>
and <strong>logging</strong> parameters and other aspects of the
general configuration of the firewall machine.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Make coordinated changes in multi-vendor
environments</strong>: Do you have Cisco routers with extended
ACLs, dedicated Cisco ASA (PIX) firewalls, Linux or BSD firewalls
and servers and need to make changes in configurations of all
these devices to enable new service ? Firewall Builder helps you
make coordinated changes in an environment like this.
</p>
<p>
Have all the advantages of the GUI and object-oriented policy design
with your existing firewalls and routers, be it Linux, BSD or Cisco
devices. Protect your investment, there is no need to throw them
away if you are happy with their performance. You can import
existing configuration into Firewall Builder (currently only
iptables and Cisco routers configurations).
</p>
<p>
Built-in policy installer is flexible, uses ssh for secure
communication channel to the firewall and has many safeguards to
make sure you never cut yourself off the firewall in case of a
mistake in the policy. It can deploy to one firewall or to many
firewalls and routers in a batch job.

<strong>Is this new stuff?</strong> Not at all. The project has
been registered
on <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/fwbuilder/">SourceForge</a>
in 2000 and
on <a href="http://freshmeat.net/projects/fwbuilder">Freshmeat</a>
in 2001. Since then it went through several major releases. Open
Source version is distributed under GPL and is included in major
Linux distributions and is part of FreeBSD and OpenBSD ports
system. <span class="notranslate">Firewall Builder</span> is dual
licensed, packages for Windows and Mac OS X are distributed under
traditional EULA for reasonable
fee. <a href="http://www.fwbuilder.org/docs/firewall_builder_licensing.html">More...</a>
</p>
<p>
We have lots of documentation online. Start with Firewall Builder
Users Guide (available in <a href="http://www.fwbuilder.org/UsersGuide4.pdf">pdf</a>
and <a href="http://www.fwbuilder.org/docs/users_guide/book1.htm">html</a> formats). Users
Guide explains the program in details and includes large "CookBook"
section that presents typical problems of firewall rules design and
demonstrates how they can be solved with Firewall Builder. There is
also <a href="http://www.fwbuilder.org/docs/firewall_builder_faq.html">FAQ</a>,
<a href="http://www.fwbuilder.org/docs/firewall_builder_installation.html">Installation
Guide</a> and
<a href="http://www.fwbuilder.org/docs/firewall_builder_release_notes.html">Release
Notes</a> for each version.
