Download Firewall Builder for Mac - Firewall configuration and management system. MacUpdate Mac Security Software Downloads

DESCRIPTION

Firewall Builder is a multi-platform firewall configuration and management system. It consists of a GUI and set of policy compilers for various firewall platforms. It helps users maintain a database of objects and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop operations. The GUI and policy compilers are completely independent, this provides for a consistent abstract model and the same GUI for different firewall platforms. It currently supports iptables, ipfilter, ipfw, OpenBSD pf and Cisco PIX.

WHAT'S NEW

Version 3.0.7:

Summary

Fixed security issue with temporary file handling in the generated iptables script. The problem only affects Linux systems where Firewall Builder is used to generate static routing configuration. The problem exists in Firewall Builder versions 3.0.4, 3.0.5, 3.0.6
Improved performance of the batch compile operation
For those who wish to build from source, instructions are outlined in the document "Install and Build instructions" on the web site here. GUI and compilers v3.0.7 require API library libfwbuilder version 3.0.7.

Improvements and bug fixes in the GUI

bug #2847263 "Batch compiling incrementally slow". The time it took to add a log line to the progress window in the "Compile" dialog slowed down a lot as amount of text in QTextEditor increased.
bug #2845667 "Crash after find object". When host object was found using "Find object" function while searching by ip address, clicking on the selected host in the tree caused crash.
bug #2844596: "Crash during newFirewallDialog". GUI crashed if user clicked "next" in the new firewall dialog to open page with templates, then clicked "Back" and then "Next" again.

Improvements and bug fixes in the policy compiler for iptables

Fixed security issue with temporary file handling in the generated iptables script. The problem only affects Linux systems where Firewall Builder is used to generate static routing configuration. The problem exists in Firewall Builder versions 3.0.4, 3.0.5, 3.0.6

Improvements and bug fixes in the policy compiler for PF

applied patch per #2844561: "PF Compiler Direction Both Duplicate for Route Action". Need to split the rule if direction is Both and action is Route.
