Retired Firewall Tools
These tools were used to produce documentation from firewall configuration
files. Sometimes necessity is no longer given (e.g. ReadConfig), sometimes I
just moved on and have no more need to use the software myself.
The latest firewall documentation system FWdoc
was intended to producinge a vendor-indpendent intermediate file which then can be filtered
and converted into numerous other formats.
Fortunately basically all vendors nowadays allow an export of firewall rulesets in
a readable format (usually HTML), so these tools are no longer needed.

These Programs are no longer actively maintained.

This program reads the configuration files of Checkpoint Firewall-1 (version
4.x) and produces a configuration (shell script) file for Linux IPtable
filter.
- FWdoc firewall documentation system
FWdoc was intended to be a vendor-independent standard of storing
firewall ruleset configurations. It provided tools to extract the
ruleset from proprietary formats into FWdoc format (in JSON), filter
rules and objects, and export them into a number of other formats.
From the FWdoc file a well readable, cross-referenced HTML summary of
the firewall configuration could be generated. A dump of network and
service objects, users, rules and settings into separate files (TXT
and Tab-separated tables) or templates (TXT, CSV, SQL, etc.) was
possible.
- PFconf 0.8.1 (2004)
PFconf (Packet Filter CONFig tool) is a very simple script collection

netfilter facility. It implements "group" objects where the script will
take care of the necessary permutations.
