What is Firewall Builder?

Firewall Builder is an open-source firewall configuration and management tool designed to make creation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of complex firewall configurations easier for network administrators. It provides an intuitive graphical user interface for defining zones, creating objects, writing rules, and generating device-specific configurations for deployment across major firewall platforms.

Key features include:

• Centralized firewall ruleset management with support for major platforms like iptables, pf, Cisco ASA, Juniper SRX, and more
• Object-oriented interface for creating network, service, host, user, and time objects
• Zone-based policy rule management
• Real-time firewall syntax validation and anomaly detection
• Two-way conversion between GUI representation and native device configs
• Role-based access control for team collaboration
• Version control integration
• Bulk edit capabilities for efficient administration of large rulesets

Firewall Builder makes it easier for administrators to visualize complex rulesets through its GUI, enabling easier modification and troubleshooting. By maintaining a central database of objects and rules abstracted from device syntax, Firewall Builder facilitates consistent policy across multiple, heterogeneous firewall platforms deployed across an organization’s infrastructure.
