Firewall Builder consists of an object-oriented GUI and a set of policy compilers for various firewall platforms. In Firewall Builder, a firewall policy is a set of rules; each rule consists of abstract objects that represent real network objects and services (hosts, routers, firewalls, networks, protocols). Firewall Builder helps users maintain a database of objects and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop operations. Preferences and object databases are stored in XML format. We support policy compiler for the popular free firewall engine iptables, ipfilter and OpenBSD PF. Here is one to watch. Firewall Builder |

Schmid said further: "[Non-European nations] have access only to a very limited proportion of [European] Internet communications transmitted by [fiber] cable...only a very small proportion of intra-European Internet communications are routed via the USA....A small proportion of intra-European communications are routed via a switch in London to which the British monitoring station GCHQ has access. The majority of [European] communications do not leave the continent...more than 95% of German Internet communications are routed via a switch in Frankfurt." Now it is easy to see why the German and European Internets were convenient staging areas for the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States-the perpetrators' Internet traffic had a tiny chance of being surveilled by either the United States or United Kingdom, nations that lost citizens in the New York City attack. Liikanen's emphasis on "human rights" and respect for "rules of law" last September now looks more akin to misplaced delight about keeping American and British snoopers out of the EU communications system rather than support for principles that should govern and pervade Internet use.

Hrm. Missed this when I was at ALS. The Linux part of this is cool and all, but I wish they went more into exactly what this thing they are building actually does.. Linux PR: WEAPONS TRACKING RESEARCH |

"A security processor startup with a design team composed of engineers from Compaq Computer Corp.'s former Alpha operation has introduced a new encryption chip that it claims will shatter the current standards for high-end encryption." If gigabit firewalls actually get affordable, as opposed to the current $400k starting price most of them have right now, my plans will be so much easier to carry out. I would be happy! Happy Rattle! Much better then angry planet-destroying Rattle! Yes? Immagine that! A security startup! Now of all times.. Wow! |

""I hope Dmitry puts up a good fight," Mitnick said. "He's got a great lawyer. I had a public defender. He's innocent, I wasn't. All the right people are supporting him. I pissed a lot of the right people off by hacking into The Well."" Acting in the new NBC crime drama, a book coming out, etc.. Milking it all for whatever its all worth, I guess. Some amusing quotes in here thou.. Wired | Mitnick Warns Other 'Scapegoats' |
