Wtf? Did hell just freeze over? No! But it's close... ;-) I like to announce a new test version of Vuurmuur. As you could have noticed, Vuurmuur development is very slow these days. This has three reasons: 1. i have been very busy trying to finish my study 2. i have been working on other projects lately, mainly snort_inline 3. the last release, 0.5.71, seemed to work well for many people. It took about 3 months for the first bugreport to arrive.
For those of you interested in Vuurmuur development and more general inline security issues, you might be interested in my new blog "Inliniac". It can be found on http://www.inliniac.net/blog/ Now, whats new in this release? The most important feature is the ability to kill connections in the Connection Viewer. This does require the 'conntrack' tool, which requires kernel 2.6.14+ (see: http://www.netfilter.org/projects/conntrack/index.html). To use it, go to the connection viewer and press 'k' for kill. It will present another view of the current connections (in a menu form), in which you can select a connection and then either: 1. kill the connection 2. kill all connections for the source ip 3. kill all connections for the destination ip 4. add the source ip to the blocklist 5. add the dst ip to the blocklist When adding to the blocklist all existing connections for that ip are also killed and the 'apply changes' is automaticly called. Please note that this is very much a work in progress. Comments are very, very welcome. Next to this the patch by Alexandre Simon is applied that adds pre-vuurmuur chains, and a bug in the dhcp rule creation was fixed. Please try this release! It can be found here: ftp://ftp.vuurmuur.org/releases/0.5.72.alpha1/ I'm also eager to hear if the Autopackage works ok, because i switched my development workstation from Debian Sarge to Ubuntu Dapper.
