Jacques:
Good idea. Let me offer some candid ones about echowall:
Pro:
---
1. Installs and deinstalls into ES without conflicting with
ES's builtin scripts.
2. Has built-in support for 30 services which need specific
port-forward and IPfwd settings.
3. Supports the above services for LAN machines's which
have DHCP-assigned addresses. Ie, specifying a server is
based on MAC-ID.
4. Automatically re-inits on DHCP lease renewal or PPPoE renewal.
5. Works out of the box with RFC-1918 external IP addresses.
6. Deny's without logging most of the background-radiation
log fillers (like NetBIOS broadcasts, IGMP's, etc.)
Cons:
----
1. No DMZ support.
2. Requires gatping subnet-scanning utility (~10kB).
3. No easy hooks for customization like builtin scripts.
4. No dancing mice.
Hope that helps...
