I would appreciate it somebody volunteered to write a "firewalling in Debian
GNU/Linux"
section for the "Debian Security HOWTO". I have just commited to the CVS server
(should
be readable in the web tomorrow) a small section regarding it but there's a lot
of room
for improvement.
Can anyone volunteer? I would like:
- a section host-oriented on how to setup firewall rules as a "last line of
defense"
(that's the one I have started writting) talking, basicly, on Debian-specific
issues
(tools available, which ones to use?).
- a *chapter* (server-oriented) on how to setup a firewall using Debian
GNU/Linux.
Regarding: firewall setup, administration, logging, detection of alarms... One
very useful section would setting up a proxy-level firewall (using software
available
in Debian).
Both should point to other sites regarding general info (what a firewall is?
what does
netfilter do?) and not reproduce it (terrible waste of time and difficult to
maintain
up to date).
Anyone?
