fwbuilder

Firewall Builder consists of an object-oriented GUI and a 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 the user maintain a database of objects and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop operations.

This is the GUI part of fwbuilder

fwb_compile_all

Wrapper script that compiles policies for multiple firewall objects

NAME
       fwb_compile_all  -  Wrapper  script that compiles policies for multiple
       firewall objects

SYNOPSIS
       fwb_compile_all -ffile.xml [-dwdir] [-av] [obj[ obj ...]]

DESCRIPTION
       fwb_compile_all is a wrapper script that compiles policies for  several
       firewall objects in one batch job. This script takes a list of firewall
       object  names on the command line (or '-a' command line option, see be-
       low) and calls policy compiler for each one. The script  correctly  de-
       termines  which  policy  compiler  is  needed depending on the firewall
       platform of each object.

OPTIONS
       -a     The script processes all firewall objects  in  the  "/Firewalls"
              subtree.

       -d wdir
              Specify  working directory.  Compiler creates file with iptables
              script in this directory.  If this parameter  is  missing,  then
              iptables script will be placed in the current working directory.

       -f FILE
              Specify the name of the data file to be processed.

       -v     Script  passes  this option to the compiler, this makes it print
              diagnostic messages indicating its progress.

fwb_iosacl

Policy compiler for Cisco IOS ACL

NAME
       fwb_ipt - Policy compiler for Cisco IOS ACL

SYNOPSIS
       fwb_iosacl [-vV] [-d wdir] [-4] [-6] [-i] -f data_file.xml object_name

DESCRIPTION
       fwb_iosacl  is  firewall  policy compiler component of Firewall Builder
       (see fwbuilder(1)). Compiler reads objects definitions and firewall de-
       scription from the data file specified with "-f" option  and  generates
       resultant  Cisco IOS ACL configuration file. The configuration is writ-
       ten to the file with the name the same as the name of the firewall  ob-
       ject,  plus  extension  ".fw". Compiler generates extended access lists
       for Cisco routers running IOS v12.x using "ip access-list <name>"  syn-
       tax.  Compiler  also generates "ip access-group" commands to assign ac-
       cess lists to interfaces. Generated ACL configuration can  be  uploaded
       to  the router manually or using built-in installer in the fwbuilder(1)
       GUI.

       The data file and the name of the firewall objects must be specified on
       the command line. Other command line parameters are optional.

OPTIONS
       -4     Generate iptables script for IPv4 part of  the  policy.  If  any
              rules  of  the  firewall  refer to IPv6 addresses, compiler will
              skip these rules.  Options "-4" and "-6" are exclusive. If  nei-
              ther  option  is  used, compiler tries to generate both parts of
              the script, although generation of the IPv6 part  is  controlled
              by  the  option  "Enable  IPv6 support" in the "IPv6" tab of the
              firewall object advanced settings dialog.  This option is off by
              default.

       -6     Generate iptables script for IPv6 part of  the  policy.  If  any
              rules  of  the  firewall  refer to IPv6 addresses, compiler will
              skip these rules.

       -f FILE
              Specify the name of the data file to be processed.

       -d wdir
              Specify working directory. Compiler creates file with  ACL  con-
              figuration  in  this  directory.   If this parameter is missing,
              then generated ACL will be placed in the current working  direc-
              tory.

       -v     Be verbose: compiler prints diagnostic messages when it works.

       -V     Print version number and quit.

       -i     When  this  option  is present, the last argument on the command
              line is supposed to be firewall object ID rather than its name

fwbuilder(1)                   Firewall Builder                   fwbuilder(1)

NAME
       fwbuilder - Multiplatform firewall configuration tool

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/bin/fwbuilder [-ffile.fwb] [-d] [-h] [-ofile] [-Pobject_name] [-r]
       [-v]

DESCRIPTION
       fwbuilder  is  the  Graphic  User Interface (GUI) component of Firewall
       Builder.

       Firewall Builder consists of a GUI and set of policy compilers for var-
       ious 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.

       Firewall Builder supports firewalls based  on  iptables  (Linux  kernel
       2.4.x  and  2.6.x,  see fwb_ipt(1)), ipfilter (variety of platforms in-
       cluding *BSD, Solaris and others,  see  fwb_ipf(1)),  pf  (OpenBSD  and
       FreeBSD, see fwb_pf(1)), ipfw (FreeBSD and others), Cisco PIX (v6.x and
       7.x) and Cisco IOS extended access lists.

OPTIONS
       -f FILE
              Specify the name of the file to be loaded when program starts.

       -r     When  this  command  line option is given in combination with -f
              file, the program automatically opens RCS head revision  of  the
              file  if file is in RCS. If file is not in RCS, this option does
              nothing and the file is opened as usual.

       -d     Turns on debug mode. Note that in this mode the  program  gener-
              ates  lots  of output on standard error. This is used for debug-
              ging.

       -h     Prints brief help message

       -o file
              Specify the name of the file for the print  output,  see  option
              "-P".

       -P object_name
              Print  rules  and  objects for the firewall object "object_name"
              and immediately exit. The program does not go  into  interactive
              mode.  Print  output  will  be placed in the file specified with
              "-o" option.  If file name is not given with option "-o",  print
              output  is  stored in the file "print.pdf" in the current direc-
              tory.
