.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
|
|
.B fwbuilder
|
|
is the Graphic User Interface (GUI) component of Firewall Builder.
|
|
|
|
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. GUI
|
|
generates firewall description in the form of XML file,
|
|
which compilers then interpret and generate platform-specific
|
|
code. Several algorithms are provided for automated
|
|
network objects discovery and bulk import of data. The
|
|
GUI and policy compilers are completely independent,
|
|
this provides for a consistent abstract model and the
|
|
same GUI for different firewall platforms.
|
|
|
|
Firewall Builder supports firewalls based on iptables (Linux kernel
|
|
2.4.x and 2.6.x, see fwb_ipt(1)), ipfilter (variety of platforms
|
|
including *BSD, Solaris and others, see fwb_ipf(1)), pf (OpenBSD and
|
|
FreeBSD, see fwb_pf(1)), ipfw (FreeBSD and others), Cisco PIX (v6.x
|
|
and 7.x) and Cisco IOS extended access lists.
