Release Name: 0.79
Notes:
Changes:
Added to and clarified comments. Added TCP 4444 outbound block to deal with W32.Blaster worm and variants; note that tFTP (UDP port 69) could also be blocked by FIRE|GATE for maximum effect, but currently is not. Fixed bug (introduced in v0.78): when CAM/CAMIP variables were null, a script error appeared. Added indicators showing FIRE|GATE's progress, and variable COLOR to use ANSI when displaying (re)start/stop/status messages. When DHCP variable is blank, script allows any DHCP server traffic inbound; if DNS variable is blank, all DNS traffic is allowed inbound (previous behavior dropped traffic, which can generate substantial PACKET DROP logs). Confirmed list of kernel modules needed now, and those which are optional and/or for future use
