You can configure your own firewall settings to be fed to
the live CD from a floppy disk or USB drive. You can also configure many supporting
services from the firewall, such as remote login (ssh), DHCP (dhcpd), Web service (httpd),
Samba file/print sharing (smbd), and many other services.
Sentry Firewall CD (www.sentryfirewall.com) is another very nice bootable CD
firewall, but one that has not been actively developed for a while. Sentry Firewall CD takes
advantage of the additional space on its CD to provide many extra tools for managing
and watching your network. You can create a virtual private network connection using
FreeS/WAN, manage SNMP services with net-snmp, and set up a variety of servers (using
Apache, sendmail, bind, and others).
Sentry Firewall supports many different types of IDE and SCSI hardware (so you are not
limited to PCI Ethernet cards and modems). It offers both a shell and Web interface for
managing your firewall.
IP Cop Firewall (http://ipcop.org) is a stateful firewall distribution based on netfilter.
A number of add-ons are available for it and development is constantly underway. As
of this writing, the latest version is 1.4.16.
For a list of some additional firewall/router distributions, see the DistroWatch.com site at
