</p>
|
|
<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
|
