Thanks.
'Cause of sadness' is that fwbuilder is not web based.
Probably I'm too 'heavy' :)))

Hi Michele!
I know what you mean , 'cause is the same for me ;-)!!
I' ve created a Debian Sarge Server (file, nfs, dhcp and some other things
...), and to protect it from any kind of external attaches, i install (after
i've tried many and many firewalling applications) FW builder.
I work for a period with CheckPoint (not opensource!), and i can tell you
that fwbuilder is very good.
Look at their site:
http://www.fwbuilder.org/

Good luck!
..and yes, it could be better if you install ipcop (alone) in an old
machine!!

I use IPCop.  It is a purpose-built Linux distribution that converts a
computer into a dedicated gateway/ router appliance -- e.g. an IPCop machine
only functions as a gateway/ router, it is not designed to be, nor should it
be used as, a general-purpose Linux machine.  You should look around the
IPCop web site to determine if IPCop will meet your needs:

http://www.ipcop.org/

IPCop is dead simple to install.  Install the desired number (2 to 4) of
supported network interface cards, boot the CD, fill out a couple of
configuration screens, and you're done.  Ongoing administration is performed
via a secure web interface accessible from the LAN (green) side.


If you want a general-purpose Linux machine that is hardened against attack,
Debian is a viable choice.  There are various tools and features that can be
used to harden Debian -- Bastille, NSA SE Linux enhancements, trip wire, and
lots of others.  (My Debian box is behind an IPCop firewall and only
accessible via ssh using secure passwords, so I don't know as much as I
should about hardening Debian.)  There's lots of info out there on this
subject.


HTH,

David

Ip-Cop

2006-05-22 Thread Michele Della Marina

Hi all.
Is possible install ip-cop on debian sarge?
I know that Ip-Cop is a particular kind of 'linux-distribution', but
my hope was that someone had 'packaged' Ip-Cop for debian.
Thanks
