FireBeast
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FireBeast is Linux software used in computing. It is a packet filtering firewall that can perform dynamic stateful packet inspection and check the source and destination addresses of data packets. While maintaining high performance and throughput, FireBeast can define a limit of accessing rate to avoid a potential DoS attack, IP spoof or SYN flood.
FireBeast is based on up-to-date open standard technology subjected to tests and modifications by security experts all over the world. It blocks security flaws found by intruders and is based on the Linux operating system.
The firewall is customizable, meaning the user can add or remove filters based on several conditions. FireBeast also allows Network Address Translation (NAT) on packet for network sharing and traffic control.
FireBeast also has some advanced functions for implementing Quality of service (QoS) of a network. This function allows administrators to divide local networks into segments of Demilitarized zones (DMZ) to perform bandwidth control and quality assurance.
