SREA Continues To Rocket, UP Another 29% By Close!

Score One Inc. (SREA)
$0.40 UP 29%

The watchers are right, SREA keeps climbing. The Market Makers are
raking it in. Act fast and you can too. Look at the numbers and get on
SREA first thing Thursday!

Doing this only if original rule did not have negation and we do not add
any virtual addresses for NAT. Since router ACLs have no state, all
rules should be created in the policy pretty much like you do it on the
router, including rules that permit reply packets.

It is assumed that firewall object in rules represents combination of
addresses configured in its interfaces in the GUI. Objects open in the
editor on a single mouse click in the tree and rules.

targets LOG and ULOG are converted to the "logging" option in fwbuilder
rules with action "Continue".

The GUI now starts either into an empty database or opens data file
specified on the command line. Bulk install operation is only possible
if all firewalls use the same user name and password for authentication.
For each compile-time AddressTable object defined in the object tree
compiler tries to find and read the file specified in the object
configuration.
This allows you to mark some interfaces to be skipped by the compiler
when it picks interfaces for ACL rules.

Doing this only if original rule did not have negation and we do not add
any virtual addresses for NAT. This is still an early stage of beta
testing and I am pretty sure there are bugs.
Compiler for iptables generates shell code to read the contents of the
file when firewall configuration is activated.

This action is only supported by compilers for iptables, PF and ipfw.

"log", "log-input", "fragments", "established" keywords are supported
and translated into rule or object options as appropriate. For PF this
action is translated into an anchor with the name the same as the name
of the branch defined by the administrator.
For PF this action is translated into tag.
It works on target platforms that provide suitable syntax and allow
control to return to the higher level rule set if the branch can not
make final decision about the packet. DNSName:  This object resolves a
host name to the IP address using DNS. Finally beta testing is over and
the  release is out. Shortcomings of this version: importer does not use
address and service objects that existed in the tree before the
operation has started, it creates new ones. Doing this only if original
rule did not have negation and we do not add any virtual addresses for
NAT. Object dependencies are tracked not only when objects are directly
used in rules, but also when they apepar there indirectly, as members of
groups Added bulk compile and install operations.
Administrator can drag and drop interface object of the firewall into
this rule element field.

Because of the huge variety of iptables modules, Importer can only
interpret basic iptables configuration and a subset of modules.

The GUI includes built-in installer for routers which works just like
installer for PIX.

In addition to the "Find" function, the "Find and replace" operation has
been implemented. Built-in installer now properly detects errors that
arise during activation of the iptables script. This allows fwbedit to
quickly create objects and still ensure their IDs are unique fwbedit
Fwbedit can now create objects and repair broken object database.

Each policy rule now has rule element "Interface".

Compiler can also add commands to configure logging.

Compiler for PF creates a table and also lists all IP addresses it reads
from the file; it uses the name of the AddressTable object for the name
of the table it creates.

Built-in installer now properly detects errors that arise during
activation of the iptables script. The problem must be corrected
manually. Custom:  This action allows administrator to define arbitrary
piece of code to be used in place of an action. Supported by compilers
for iptables, ipf and ipfw Branch:  This action is used to create a
branch in the rule set. Object can be confgiured to do so at compile
time or run time. We still have quite a bit of work to do though,
particularly localization has only began.
System resolver should take care of recursion and CNAME records, if any.
We plan to run public beta for a few months and release final version in
October. This turns Firewall Builder into universal access policy
management tool for a data center, office or an ISP. This is useful when
many firewalls in the tree use the same set of objects.

DNSName:  This object resolves a host name to the IP address using DNS.

Compilers for iptables, ipfilter, pf and PIX can not use objects with
this option and treat it as an error because corresponding platforms do
not support it.
For PF this action is translated into tag.
If this is not the case, built-in installer can be instructed to ask for
the authentication information before it touches each firewall.

Route:  This action makes the firewall to route the packet that matches
the rule through an interface or a gateway specified in the parameters
of the action. Ability to emulate terminating behavior for rules with
actions Classify and Tag and improved shadowing detection for these
rules have been added in compiler for iptables.
This version comes with many new features in the GUI and policy
compilers.
fwb file to the firewall.
We'll remove this suffix when final version is released.

This was one of the most requested features on the list for a very  
long time.
Interfaces without "ip address" in the configuration are marked as
"unnumbered" in the firewall builder object tree.
all recognized iptables rules are imported and interface and direction
are set in all rules appropriately.
Compilers for iptables, ipfw, ipf and PIX generate bunch of rules
matching each address read from the file.

POSTROUTING chain of the mangle table, as well as its FORWARD and OUTPUT
chains, work before corresponding chains of the nat table.
