Re: [Full-Disclosure] PIX vs CheckPoint

["Roger Howorth" <Roger_Howorth@xxxxxxxxx>]

Like a few other comments already, I would also recommend using iptables --
it's a stateful inspection firewall that's included with every Linux
distribution I've come across, and also crops up in many/all? Linux
appliance firewalls. "iptables -L" will print the firewall rules to the
screen if iptables is installed and running.

Some folks like to write their firewall rules by hand, but there is also an
excellent piece of open source called fwbuilder - again, some others have
already mentioned it in this thread. In my experience fwbuilder can be a
real pain to install with certain Linux distributions, but those problems
completely disappear using gentoo linux.
