ANNOUNCE: ipfwadm-dotfile-0.24b: the ipfwadm Dotfile Generator module

Post by John D. Hard » Sun, 23 Nov 1997 04:00:00



The dotfile module for basic firewall and IP Masquerade configuration is
now available for download. The current version is 0.24b (beta). See the
<a href="http://www.wolfenet.com/~jhardin/ipfwadm.html">ipfwadm Dotfile
Module home page</a> for details.

Also available <a href="ftp://ftp.rubyriver.com/pub/jhardin/ipfwadm">
via ftp</a>.

This module for Jesper Pedersen's Dotfile Generator allows you to generate
a firewall and IP Masquerade configuration file that will work well for
most simple applications where one computer or a small network is accessing
the Internet via dialup (including support for diald) or over a dedicated
connection.

This module is NOT intended as a substitute for an experienced network
administrator in a critical application, but for small networks it makes it
easier to set up a basic firewall and enjoy at least a little security.

News:

This version (0.24b2 11/22/97) adds improved anti-spoofing in response to
the BUGTRAQ discussion of the LAND attack. You probably will want to update
right away.
