IpKungFu 0.6.1

IPKungFu is an iptables-based Linux firewall. The primary design goals are security, ease of use, and performance, in that order. It takes advantage of advanced features of iptables, tcpwrappers, and the Linux kernel. IPKungFu can handle a wide array of configurations, and supports Internet connection sharing, multiple virtual hosts, IP forwarding, IP masquerading, configurable logging, string matching and much more. IpKungFu project is designed with both the novice and the expert in mind with its simple and easy to use installer, and various configuration files. Anyone who wishes to simplify the creation of an iptables-based firewall. Additionally, anyone who would like a simple method of configuring a Linux machine to share its Internet connection. It takes configuration directives from the files in /etc/ipkungfu and uses them, along with some information gathered from your system, to build a firewall using iptables and sysctl. It is primarily an interface to iptables. Which in turn is an interface to the Linux kernels netfilter code. Installation: Download and unpack the source. Run the installation script. Edit configuration files in /etc/ipkungfu to taste. Execute ipkungfu. (/usr/local/sbin/ipkungfu) Options: -t or --test Test the configuration, listing some of the optional kernel support installed, the interfaces in use, IP addresses, whether or not you have chosen IP forwarding, IP masquerading, subnet and ports you have chosen to allow. -d or --disable Disables the firewall and sets the default policies back to ACCEPT. Internet connection sharing is not disabled. -h or --help Displays all options available to ipkungfu. -v or --version Displays the version number of ipkungfu and exits. -l or --list Displays the iptables rule sets and exits. -c or --check Check to see if ipkungfu is loaded and display if it is in disable mode or panic mode if either. -f or --flush Flush all iptables rules and delete custom chains. This completely takes down the firewall, and will also disable Internet connection sharing. --panic Panic mode. All internal and external access is denied. Nothing is allowed, in or out. --quiet Runs ipkungfu with no standard output. --show-vars Shows main configuration options (whether specified or auto detected) and exits. --failsafe If ipkungfu fails, default policy for all builtin chains will revert to ACCEPT. This essentially means the firewall will be disabled if it fails. This is useful for working with ipkungfu remotely, to prevent loss of access to the machine..
