-Firewall Builder consists of object-oriented GUI and set of policy compilers
-for various firewall platforms. In Firewall Builder, firewall policy is a set
-of rules, each rule consists of abstract objects which represent real network
-objects and services (hosts, routers, firewalls, networks, protocols).
-Firewall Builder helps user maintain database of objects and allows policy
-editing using simple drag-and-drop operations.
-
-Preferences and objects databases are stored in XML format.
-GUI and policy compilers are completely independent. Support for a new firewall
-platform can be added to GUI without any changes done to the program, although
-new policy compiler must be written. This provides for consistent abstract
-model and the same GUI for different firewall platforms. Currently three most
-popular free firewalls are supported: ipchains, iptables and ipfilter.
-Because of this, Firewall Builder can be used to manage firewalls built on
-variety of platforms including, but not limited to, Linux running ipchains or
-iptables and FreeBSD or Solaris running ipfilter.
