.TH fwbuilder 1 "" FWB "Firewall Builder"
.SH NAME
fwbuilder \- Multiplatform firewall configuration tool
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B /usr/bin/fwbuilder
[
.B -f file.xml
]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B fwbuilder
is the Graphic User Interface (GUI) component of Firewall Builder.
Firewall Builder consists of a GUI and set of policy
compilers for various firewall platforms. It helps
users maintain a database of objects and allows policy
editing using simple drag-and-drop operations. GUI
generates firewall description in the form of XML file,
which compilers then interpret and generate platform-specific
code. Several algorithms are provided for automated
network objects discovery and bulk import of data. The
GUI and policy compilers are completely independent,
this provides for a consistent abstract model and the
same GUI for different firewall platforms.
At the moment of this writing Firewall Builder supports firewalls
based on iptables (available on Linux, kernel 2.4.x, see
fwb_ipt(1)), ipfilter (available on a variety of platforms
including *BSD, Solaris and others, see fwb_ipf(1)) and pf (available
on OpenBSD 3.0, see fwb_pf(1))
