Publisher review:NuFW is an authenticating firewall. NuFW lays on Netfilter, the state of the art IP filtering layer from the Linux kernel. It fully integrates with Netfilter and Iptables and adds authentication capabilities. Its exclusive algorithm allows authenticated filtering even on multiuser computers. NuFW can:
- Authenticate any connection that goes through your gateway or only from/to a chosen subset or a specific protocol (iptables is used to select the connections to authenticate).
- Perform accounting, routing and quality of service based on users and not simply on IPs.
- Filter packets with criterium such as application and OS used by distant users.
- Log all traffic in SQL with username and application information
- Be the key of a secure and simple Single Sign On system.
NuFW is :
- Scalable : NuFW is composed of two daemons that can be put on different systems and the main daemon is heavily multithreaded.
- Modular : User authentication and Access control list verification are performed via loadable module (system, ldap, dbm, plaintext modules are provided). User activity logging can be done via syslog, mysql or postgresql.
- Open : NuFW is released under the GNU GPL licence v2 and all protocols are fully documented.
