Fire Gnome (aka gfirewall) is a GTK-based GUI for configuring a firewall.
I am using mostly C in this code... but, I do like 'string' and 'map' from the 'stl' C++ libraries so you will need libstdc++ to make it compile. I have, however, recently been exposed to glib BSTs. Although they are not as transparant as 'map' is, I think I will convert the code to use GTree insteam.
Why? I wanted to make a tool to alter ipchains-save files. I think they are a useful way of storing ipchains configurations.
This is what I want to do for next version:
For now (items for v0.1.0)
Allow for adding and removing of rules in a chain.
Implement the statistics functions (with automated updates)
Write some hardcoded 'stock rules'
Allow for macros in 'stock rules' (as in MYIP or MYGATEWAY)
Allow for user additions to stock rules. Thanks to Shane Butler who suggested that I tie in with the Database of Masq Apps and especially with the Games List.
Improve on the display; Wallace Owen had an idea on displaying a colour coded tree based on chains and jumps not on the main chain they belong to.
What's New in This Release:
thank you for your interest and support. I have been busy with life stuff and have not been able to put more effort into getting Fire Gnome finished. I have not abondoned the project but I just cannot see myself putting any more time into it till the mid summer. By that time the project will be revamped to work with iptables for Linux 2.4.x.
