System firewalls - comparison, tests...?

Jun 09, 2008 0 Replies

Hello,



I'm writing a final work to receive the Master of Science title at AGH



- University of Science and Technology, Cracow, Poland. I'm writing about security provided by operating system build-in firewalls. Do you know (or have) some materials about system firewalls comparison? I'm especially interested in complex tests of the firewalls.



The list of firewalls I'm planning to write about:



- Windows XP SP2 Firewall



- Windows Vista Firewall



- Mac OS X Leopard Firewall



- Linux iptables



- BSD IPFilter and/or ipfirewall



The internet is full of studies and comparisons (like "Firewall Chellenge" on Matousec.com) but I don't know any of the cross-platform firewall tests...



Thank you in advance, Piotr Knapik
