BartWare Personal Firewall 3.0.2 (beta release 2)

Hello everyone!



I've been working for a while on a new version of my firewall, and I've combined the features people liked from version 1 (for Win9x) and 2 (WinXP). I've mainly designed this firewall to manage outgoing connections.



Note: this firewall is only compatible with Windows XP (or any other NT5 platform such as Win2k and Win2k3)

Any feedback is appreciated. Please also read the notes before installing (after accepting the disclaimer in the installation it'll give some general information).



Have fun and I hope you like it.



Bart

Do you know mit critics on "managing outgoing connections"?

Maybe you should differ between how the access matrix is constructed, viewed and evaluated. Yes, it is constructed by ACLs and typically ordered in that way, but it's evaluated as capabilities, by process the access matrix orthogonally into a capability bit set, which is then evaluated against an access mask in SeCheckSinglePrivilege.

Yes, this is exactly the problem.

No one would care if you just implemented it as part of a general packet filtering which simply allows, denies or schedules/changes packets according to filter rules.

Exactly that's the problem. A firewall, when not implemented as an application layer gateway, should filter network traffic and not API calls on the host.

Could you please search for postings (including my own postings) in this group in an usenet archive of your choice?

No, this does not work, at least not reliably.
