First off I would like to say "thanks" to Mike for giving the presentation on Linux
security. Second I know I mentioned I would post out some links I had on Linux
Firewalls so here they are. If I missed something I had said I would post, please
let me know.

This is a great site with loads of links to other good sites. Some of their online
docs are very good ( I especially like the Knowing your enemy section. They also
have links to gfcc which is a good interface for working with IP chains.
http://www.linux-firewall-tools.com/linux/
This is the site written and maintained by Robert Ziegler. He is the author of Linux
Firewalls which is a very good reference on IP Chains (lots of examples, lots of
details. Maybe the only draw back is the fact that it contains almost too much
information). This is also the site that has the web based Firewall design tool I
mentioned. Basically it walks you through a series of questions and writes the IP
Chains rules based on your responses.

This site is not as good as the first one. It does not contain much direct info, but
is mainly a bunch of links. Still not a bad site to walk through.
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/index.html
This is the home site for nmap (the port scanner Mike was using). It is loaded with
good security info as well as a lot of nmap documentation. Also, I don't know if
Mike mentioned it but nmap also has a decent gui interface called xnmap which is
also available at the above site.
