The Falcon project is an open firewall project with the intention of developing an independent firewall system. [COPYRIGHT-1]

Falcon consists of different modules:
Falcons own proxies (generic TCP-Proxy and application specific proxies)
Squid for web access and caching (modified package for Linux)
BIND-8 for nameservice (coming soon)
qmail for mail communication
OS hardening (coming later)

The concept behind Falcon is pretty simple. It consists of three main parts:

Self-written proxy applications and configure-/logging facilities. These are all
written in Perl.

Third party applications like BIND, Squid, Qmail.

Concepts/instructions/tools for hardening the OS you want to run Falcon on.

Some third party proxies maybe replaced by self-written ones in the future (it's up to you

Requirements:
An up to date Perl version (Perl 5)
The Proc-Daemon-0.02-Perl-Module (get it from CPAN or the Falcon-Download-Site)
A Unix system (like Linux, Solaris, AIX, etc.)
Red Hat Package Manager (RPM)
At least 200 KB free disk space for the program files.
