<p>I became interested in Internet Security when I established a home
|
|
|
|
|
office in 1999 and had DSL service installed in our home. I
|
|
|
|
|
investigated ipchains and developed the scripts which are now
|
|
|
|
|
collectively known as <a href="http://seawall.sourceforge.net">Seattle
|
|
|
|
|
Firewall</a>. Expanding on what I learned from Seattle Firewall, I then
|
|
|
|
|
designed and wrote Shorewall.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>I telework from our <a

|
