  I run several FreeBSD/IPF based firewalls. I would really like to get
  some sort of basic visual representation as to what the firewall is
  doing without actually logging in and tailing logs. My idea is to have
  the HDD LED (red) light up when IPF blocks packets with an ipf block
  rule and the power LED (green) light up when traffic is passed with an
  ipf pass rule.

 You could have rules to send the packets to divert sockets (as is done
 for NAT), and write a program to respond to them.  See divert(4) and
 natd(8).

 It would be easier to use the keyboard leds (KDSETLED ioctl) than the
 disk and power leds, I think.

A cool IPF firewall trick

2002-09-25 Thread BSD Freak 

Hi all,

I run several FreeBSD/IPF based firewalls. I would really like to get
some sort of basic visual representation as to what the firewall is
doing without actually logging in and tailing logs. My idea is to have
the HDD LED (red) light up when IPF blocks packets with an ipf block
rule and the power LED (green) light up when traffic is passed with an
ipf pass rule.

Any one got any ideas where I would start to implement something this? 


Thanks in advance

It's easier to use CAPS/SCROLL leds...;)
