![]() ![]() When the Create New Firewall button is clicked, a wizard will appear to help create the new firewall. Let’s begin the process of creating a new firewall, based on pre-configured templates, with fwbuilder. But before objects and services can be added, a new firewall must be created. This navigation tree contains everything necessary to create a firewall. In the same window there is an navigation tree (left pane). From that same pane (in the main fwbuilder window) a new firewall can be created or an existing firewall can be imported. From the main window, I recommend all new users click the Watch “Getting Started” tutorial button, which will open up a browser instance to a short, informative video. When fwbuilder is fired up, the main window will appear (see Figure 1). Ultimately, the easiest way to start fwbuilder is by using the desktop menu (as shown above). I actually recommend you running fwbuilder without admin privileges (it is not required), so the security of the system is not comprimised. Why the difference? The former command runs fwbuilder with administrator privileges, the latter wthout. You can start fwbuilder from the command line using sudo fwbuilder or just fwbuilder. In order to start up fwbuilder administrative privileges will be necessary. Once installed, Fwbuilder can be started by clicking System > Administration > Firewall Builder. Install fwbuilder with the command sudo apt-get install fwbuilder. Install the fwbuilder libraries with the command sudo apt-get install libfwbuilder. ![]() Install the GPG key with the command apt-key add PACKAGE-GPG-KEY-fwbuilder.asc. Open /etc/apt/sources.list in a text editor.Īdd deb maverick contrib to the bottom of that file.ĭownload the GPG key with the command wget. In order to get a working, updated Fwbuilder installed on Ubuntu, follow these steps (You will either have to su to the root user or use sudo for this to work): However, if you’re installing Fwbuilder on Ubuntu, the package that will install is out of date and will not work. Installation of Fwbuilder is as simple as searching for “fwbuilder” (no quotes) in your Add/Remove Software tool (such as Package-Kit, Synaptic, etc) and marking Fwbuilder for installation. Let’s take a look at using Fwbuilder on Linux, which might just become a life-long affair with a powerful security system. Fwbuilder supports a wide range of firewalls (Cisco ASA/PIX, Linux iptables, FreeBSD’s ipfilter, OpenBSD’s pf, and more), so its rules can be deployed on multiple platforms. Heiko Zueckerm, the developer of Devil-Linux has announced as of 7th Jan, 2018 that there is no more new releases.Fwbuilder is a unique graphical firewall tool that allows the user to create objects and then drag and drop those objects into firewalls, to build a powerful security system for a single PC or a network of PCs. ![]() Virtual machine use is also well supported, with VMware modules built-in. If hard drive(s) are added for data storage, LVM is standard (easing expansion and backup) and software Raid is straightforward. Attaching an optional hard drive is easy, and many network services are included in the distribution.īecause boot/OS and (optionally) configuration are stored on read-only media, Devil-Linux offers high security with easy and safe upgrades, the system being fully configurable with no writeable system device. Devil Linux was originally intended to be a dedicated firewall/router but now Devil-Linux can also be used as a dedicated server for many applications. The configuration can be saved to a floppy diskette or a USB pen drive. The goal of Devil-Linux is to have a small, customizable and secure (what is secure in the internet?) Linux.ĭevil-Linux boots and runs completely from CDROM or USB flash drive.
