Cheaper to buy a firewall appliance built for this purpose then try to figure out how to build and maintain one and if this is the issue then you can consider the firewall itself a possible security risk and the possibility of an incorrect configuration is too great. -----Original Message----- From: Junaid [mailto:jonny8086 () yahoo com] Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2003 1:51 PM To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: [Snort-users] Still Help Needed: i want to make a firewall i HAVE To work in windows platform preferrably win2k and ... i want to make a firewall for a network. say i have two interfaces (NICs) on a PC one connected to my private network and other to the internet. can i use libpcap/wpcap to capture all the packets and then filter all the packets according to some user defined rules and then drop the packets violating any rule while leting others go. currently i know that libpcap/wpcap can only be used to sniff packets but cannot block packets going into the IP stack of an OS. i want that i be able to block all the packets and let go (into the protocol stack) only the packets which donot violate any rules hence making a packet filtering firewall. can anyone tell me how to achieve this with pcap or with anything else. can i get the source code for hogwash for windows...? need an urgent reply please. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
