Hi all,
I'm a student, I want to build a firewall (even basic) for Windows OS, I want to use C++ (Builder) can you help me in:
-understanding the firewall (fitring) mechanism under Widows
-geting some source code in C++
any Idea or links are appreciated,
I tried to do it but I found it very diffecult for windows, I ound some sourec code but they aren't well explained,
thank you in advance,
take look at these ...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/firewallpapi/ - that's quite advanced one. source aviable
and consult further with this tcp/ip resources bible
http://www.private.org.il/tcpip_rl.html
it will not be a pleasure, and a 5 min snap-code... prepare for some decent reseach on actual tcp/ip basis...
for more advanced info about nowdays tendences in firewall development i advocate the http://www.netfilter.org/ it's home of iptables project - currently most common filtering software for linux os... there's a lot of info down there, just dig it up!
just a friend to friend suggestion..if it's not to late, change the projet ;)
