Firewall by Jim is a firewall that takes advantage of tcp_wrappers information to block users. I got tired of the firewall scripts out there not doing what I wanted them to.. I wanted a firewall that was flexible to use, but did it's job. I wanted one that could be configured to any circumstance easily without changing the script itself. That is why I designed my firewall to use simple text files for configuration ease.

I have built in mutlple mean of protection into the firewall itself. Of the most notable is the hacker, trojan, spam, and blacklist capabilities.

The hacker protection will prevent the outside world from running unwanted commands. If you choose to enable this function.

The hacker protection will prevent the outside world from running unwanted commands. The trojan protection has two different levels. Standard and Intensive. The standard protection only protections from known linux and unix trojans. Where as the intensive will protect from all known trojans from windows, linux, and unix based.

The spam protection will block any IP address which is in list, from sending mail to your SMTP server.

The blacklist protection will block total communications to a site. I have also included a blacklist update script which will pull blacklist information from http://www.dshield.org .
