SINUS Firewall - Firewall system for the Linux operating system.

Updated by FastRunner on Sunday, October 24th 1999.

One of the goals in the SINUS project is to assess the potential of security without obscurity. The SINUS Firewall is a TCP/IP packet filter for the Linux operating system. It is distributed under the GNU General Public Licence and comes with complete source code, as the Linux operating system does.

The SINUS firewall is a free and easy way to protect your network from the daily threats of the Internet. It does not guarantee perfect security, however it comes with a wealth of features, including:

-Filtering of all header fields in the IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, IGMP packets. -Intelligent RIP and FTP support. -Easy to understand, text-based configuration. -Graphical management interface for configuration of several firewalls. -Dynamic rules, including counters and time-outs. -Extensive logging, alerting, and counter intelligence. -Prevention of packet and address spoofing.

Overall, very good package. I only wish it would be developed further, so the secure firewall-to-firewall protocol and secure remote-admin would use "FreeSwan" or similar and not the stone-aged "ENskip" which requires a special kernel-patch, which makes upgrading the kernel harder without one.

Despite it's low version-number, it is exeptionally stable (at least at 2.0.x kernels where we tested).
