fwtest -- firewall test tool

Here you can download the sources: fwtest-0.5.1.tgz fwtest-0.5.2.tgz

You can also access our subversion server via svn://seclab.kbs.cs.tu-berlin.de/fwtest

The state of the fwtest distribution is strongly alpha.

We want to increase the portability by a redesign in the near future.

Current compatibility matrix:

OS libpcap libnet libpthread python gcc
Linux 2.6.8 0.8.3 1.1.2 0.10 2.3.4 3.3.5
Linux 2.6.8 0.8.3 1.1.2 0.10 2.3.5 3.3.5
Linux 2.4.27 0.8.3 1.1.2 0.10 2.3.4 3.3.5
FreeBSD 5.3 0.8.3 1.1.2 0.10 2.3.4 3.4.2
Solaris 10 0.8.3 1.1.2.1 0.10 2.3.3 3.4.3

Current problems:

@Solaris-10:Problems with header files pyconfig.h and features.h
@FreeBSD: compiled in FreeBSD environment:
+ fwagent is working
+ fwtest crashs
compiled in Linux compatibility environment:
+ fwagent is working
+ fwtest is working

We didn't find a way to get python and the three libraries above together in a way that they compile without warnings on all plattforms.

Any advice is appreciated.

Here you can find libdnet packages for SuSE-9.x: libdnet-1.10-1.i586.rpm, libdnet-1.10-1.src.rpm
