Infiltrator Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) There are tons of firewalls out there. The really good ones i can suggest are, PFsense, Smoothwal and Untangle. They are all Linux based firewalls. If you are looking for something more, stand alone like a personal firewall, you could try Comodo Free Firewall.

555 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Untangle I think requires a whole box to be the firewall, correct or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Untangle I think requires a whole box to be the firewall, correct or no? Correct, it does require a whole box, the same goes for the other firewalls Smoothwall, PFSense except Comodo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3TeK Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I run RouterOS (Mikrotik router OS) runs great. Of course my router is a Core 2 Duo E7500 with 2gb of ram, lol. But you can run it on anything that is x86. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infiltrator Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) If you want to slow down an attacker, you could set up something like a honeypot that basically works as a bait and lures an attacker to it. You could then install some goodies into it to make the attacker more interested in that box, than any other box on your network.
