SlackFire Description

SlackFire is an iptables script written especially for Slackware, my favourite Linux distribution in this corner of the Galaxy. SlackFire is an iptables script written especially for Slackware, my favourite Linux distribution in this corner of the Galaxy.SlackFire's main purpose is to protect a stand-alone machine or a small network with a stateful firewall that can be configured easily but in big detail.Why another iptables script? There are a lot in the Internet, many of them with pretty nice GUI!First of all, I didn't want to have a firewall that I only could manage and configure via GUI.Next, I needed to work with a LAN with machines having routable IP addresses. Quite a few scripts available in the Net supported this feature.Even lesser number of scripts supported configuration of fine-tuned rules. The majority of them just allowed all outgoing connections permitting replies to go back. I wanted to restrict outgoing traffic, too.I also wanted that configuration can be performed without touching the main script and that this could be done by a person with very little knowledge about iptables.Thus, I found it easier to write a script of my own than to tune a script written by somebody else. What's New in This Release: · This is a rewrite of version 0.45.d adapted for 2.6 kernels. · Other minor improvements were made here and there.
