I've been using IPFilter on Solaris for the last two years or so. Had to hack the code to increase the size of the state table for busy systems (the default it pretty small as I remember), but it works great on all our perimeter systems. Also have known people who use it as the firewall for medium-size corporate networks. I don't know if you can do that with IPtables. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denis Dimick" <denis () dimick net> To: "Gabe Arnold" <f0x () squirrelsoup net> Cc: "Spencer, Gary TRI-S INC" <spencerg () dtc army mil>; <full-disclosure () lists netsys com> Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 10:44 PM Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Linux firewall
Dont know about BSD.. But I would use Linux.. This is what I use everyday for the past 5 years.. Have yet to have anyone get thru.. Even the morons at EEye have tried..

It's quite nice, easy to use, and very secure. I'd check out www.openbsd.org and www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/ for a good overview of the PF package and how to use it. --Gabe * Spencer, Gary TRI-S INC (spencerg () dtc army mil) wrote:Hello everyone.

and enjoy the technical information that everyone has to share. What
would
your recommendations be for a Linux firewall? And would you use a

Cisco firewall instead?? Thanks, Gary._______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
