The home page for the open source IP Filter software by Darren Reed is found at http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ip-filter.html. This site includes information for open source IP Filter, including a link to a tutorial entitled “IP Filter Based Firewalls HOWTO” (Brendan Conoboy and Erik Fichtner, 2002). This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for building firewalls in a BSD UNIX environment. Although written for a BSD UNIX environment, the tutorial is also relevant for the configuration of IP Filter on Oracle Solaris.
