Welcome


Welcome to SoftGil's Firewall Forum.

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

Presently we focus our support in IPFire, 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.

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

The 2.6.35 kernel is out!
Software

Linus has released the 2.6.35 kernel with no further prepatches after 2.6.35-rc6, as he had suggested might be possible. The relatively long announcement includes some thoughts on this development cycle (he's happy with how it went) and some concerns about the state of linux-next heading into 2.6.36. Some headline features in 2.6.35 include receive packet steering and receive flow steering, memory compaction, direct I/O support for Btrfs, and the usual pile of new drivers. As always, lots of details can be found on the excellent KernelNewbies 2.6.35 page.

m0n0wall 1.3 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.

Microsoft Announces Availability of Internet Explorer 8.
Windows

New browser focuses on top customer needs, including security, ease of use and performance.


REDMOND, Wash. — March 18, 2009 — Today Microsoft Corp. announced the availability of Windows Internet Explorer 8, the new Web browser that offers the best solution for how people use the Web today. It can be downloaded in 25 languages at http://www.microsoft.com/ie8 starting at noon EDT on March 19. Internet Explorer 8 is easier to use, faster and offers leading-edge security features in direct response to people’s increasing concerns about online safety. A new study commissioned by Microsoft and the National Cyber Security Alliance and conducted by Harris Interactive Inc. shows that 91 percent of adults in the U.S. are concerned about online threats in the current economic climate, and 78 percent are more likely to choose a Web browser with built-in security than they were two years ago.

 

“Customers have made clear what they want in a Web browser — safety, speed and greater ease of use,” said Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft. “With Internet Explorer 8, we are delivering a browser that gets people to the information they need, fast, and provides protection that no other browser can match.”

 

In response to extensive customer research and input from tens of millions of customer sessions, Microsoft developed Internet Explorer 8 to focus on what matters most to people. The security enhancements offer protection against existing and emerging security threats online. It blocks two to four times more malware attacks than other browsers; cuts down on the time it takes to complete common tasks on the Web such as searching, mapping and sharing, including navigating 15 of the 20 top worldwide sites; and blurs the lines between the services they use daily and the browser used to access the Internet.

Happy 20th birthday to the World Wide Web!
Network
Twenty years ago today, on March 13, 1989, sparked the revolution of one of the greatest inventions of a life time, that being the World Wide Web. The purposed idea was to help connect people together using the World Wide Web using the once popular ViolaWWW web browser, which was eventually replaced by Mosaic web browser back in 1993.
