Firewall Builder is a GUI firewall management application for iptables, PF, Cisco ASA/PIX/FWSM, Cisco router ACL and more. Firewall configuration data is stored in a central file that can scale to hundreds of firewalls managed from a single UI. A message from project maintainers: After working on Firewall Builder for many years it is with some sadness that Vadim and I are announcing that we have suspended all development activity for this project. Firewall Builder has been a great project to work on and we have truly appreciated all the support and positive feedback that the user community has provided. Without you we wouldn’t have been able to keep things going this long. You might be wondering why we are doing this... We had an exciting opportunity come up to start a company developing advanced security automation solutions. This was a chance of a lifetime that we just couldn’t pass up and unfortunately it means that we no longer have time available to work on improv

Coraza
OWASP Coraza WAF is a golang modsecurity compatible firewall library
Coraza is an open-source, enterprise-grade, high-performance Web Application Firewall (WAF) ready to protect your beloved applications. It is written in Go, supports ModSecurity SecLang rulesets and is 100% compatible with the OWASP Core Rule Set. Coraza is a drop-in alternative to replace the soon-to-be abandoned Trustwave ModSecurity Engine and supports industry-standard SecLang rule sets. Coraza runs the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS) to protect your web applications from a wide range of attacks, including the OWASP Top Ten, with a minimum of false alerts. CRS protects from many common attack categories including: SQL Injection (SQLi), Cross Site Scripting (XSS), PHP & Java Code Injection, HTTPoxy, Shellshock, Scripting/Scanner/Bot Detection & Metadata & Error Leakages. Coraza is a library at its core, with many integrations to deploy on-premise Web Application Firewall instances. -

OWASP ModSecurity CRS
OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS) Project
The OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS) is a curated, generic Web Application Firewall rule set that detects and blocks common attack categories across most web apps. It focuses on broad protection—SQL injection, cross-site scripting, local/remote file inclusion, command injection, and protocol violations—without requiring app-specific knowledge. Rules are organized into paranoia levels so operators can tune detection aggressiveness and balance false positives against coverage. An anomaly-scoring model accumulates rule hits per request, enabling nuanced blocking thresholds and easier incident triage. The project ships with extensive documentation, exclusion packages, and testing tools to help tailor deployment for frameworks, CDNs, and APIs. Deployed on engines such as ModSecurity or compatible WAFs, CRS is a widely used baseline for HTTP security in reverse proxies and gateways. -

AgentGuard
AgentGuard is a firewall for AI agents
AgentGuard is a real-time protection layer designed to safeguard AI agents and applications from runaway execution, excessive costs, and unsafe behavior during interaction with large language model APIs. It works by intercepting API calls made by an AI system and continuously monitoring usage, including token consumption and associated costs, allowing developers to enforce strict budget limits. When predefined thresholds are reached, the system can automatically halt execution, trigger alerts, or gracefully terminate processes depending on the configured mode. This makes it particularly valuable in environments where agents operate autonomously and may enter unintended loops or inefficient workflows. The tool integrates directly into existing applications with minimal changes, often requiring only a few lines of code to activate protection. It also supports advanced configurations such as distributed tracking through Redis and webhook notifications for real-time monitoring. -
