firewall software for hp-ux

[Dan Copeland]

Hi,

I have an old d-class that I want to use as a proxy/firewall for a very small lan. Is there any software ported to hp-ux that will accomplish this?

I use just such a box for our filewall. Checkpoint's Firewall 1 is available.

hello,

You can have Netscape, Checkpoint etc as the firewall softwares. Check the associated sites for information.

Anything comparable that is freeware?

[benoit Bruckert]

I don't know for freeware on HP-UX,

But, you can install Linux on it , and then you have all the ipchains, iptables, ..... for firewalling...
It's not easy, and a little bit experimental, but probably interresting !!

There are a bunch of products for securing HPUX like IDS/9000 (intrusion dection system), IPSec and IPFilters (securing IP transmission and packet filtering), Secure Shell (OpenSSH). All of these are available from HP's software depot, http://software.hp.com. This is in addition to the various other public utilities such as snort, nmap, etc.

Hi,

If you want something free, then netfilter/iptables which is previously known as ipchains might be just what you need.

http://www.netfilter.org/

The latest version (iptables 1.2.7) was just released yesterday. I have never tried compiling it on PA-RISC HP-UX. You might wish to give it a try (you might need to hack the code a bit):

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

how about "IPFilter/9000"?
It is free, it works, it is supported, there are lots of HOWTOs (from the Linux world, where it originated from).

Just my $0.02,
