Welcome


Welcome to SoftGil's Firewall Forums.

This is meant to be the gathering point of support and discussion for some firewall distributions.

At the present time we focus our support in IPCop, SmoothWall Express, Endian Firewall Community, m0n0wall and pfSense distributions only. Plans for other distributions will come in due time, should this community grow the way we expect and wish for. Soon we will address issues related with IPFire distribution too.

Thank you for dropping by and for your valuable support. Also, please make sure you read and fully understand our Code of Conduct.

IPFire v2.3 Released.
IPFire

IPFire is a source-based linux firewall distribution that brings additional features with it. The easy-to-set-up system defeats its competitiors like IPCop, Smoothwall and Endian-Firewall potty. A stateful-inspection-firewall with a luxuriant content-filtering-engine plus traffic-control (QoS) rounded with latest vpn-technology and a lot of logging is foolproof to administer with just a very few clicks.

So you can get anything out of ipfire you can imagine. Without any addons installed it is an ultra-fast firewall but can also be a full-featured home server. It's up to you what you want. Check it out...

After the first release of august 2005 the project relaunched an extremely flexible, stable and fast firewall, which was finally finished.

IPFire is new-developed firewall build with the latest releases of linux 2.6 and tools. You are able to install a lot of addons and you will see a firewall can become a home server.

One of the highlight of this security accessorie are the extensions to make a real home server out of it. You are able to install additional addons to the system with only a few mouse clicks. There are for example:


  • A fast fileserver for networks with Microsoft Windows
  • A local mailserver with virus scanning and spam detection
  • A multimedia-jukebox
  • A mp3- and ogg-streaming server
  • An Intrusion Prevention System plus Guardian
  • Voice over ip-solution with asterisk pbx

m0n0wall 1.235 released.
m0n0wallm0n0wall is a project aimed at creating a complete, embedded firewall software package that, when used together with an embedded PC, provides all the important features of commercial firewall boxes (including ease of use) at a fraction of the price (free software).

m0n0wall is based on a bare-bones version of FreeBSD, along with a web server, PHP and a few other utilities. The entire system configuration is stored in one single XML text file to keep things transparent.

m0n0wall is probably the first UNIX system that has its boot-time configuration done with PHP, rather than the usual shell scripts, and that has the entire system configuration stored in XML format.

Debian OpenSSL flaw affects many systems.
Security

Well-known security researcher H. D. Moore, creator of the MetaSploit Project, has posted his findings on the recently discovered Debian-packaged OpenSSL bug. Moore documents the cause of the bug and explains how easily attackers can create every possible key the flawed OpenSSL implementation can generate.

According to Moore, "All SSL and SSH keys generated on Debian-based systems (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc) between September 2006 and May 13th, 2008 may be affected." He also provides information and links to tools which can be used to regenerate those keys.

Moore explains that the impact of this flaw is huge, and goes beyond the Debian/Ubuntu user communities:
