Create A Custom Windows Firewall
I read an article in this months issue of [url=http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/*2767/*2767.html?Ad=*]Windows IT Pro[/url] about using netsh and IPSec to control packets.
I then went on to create a "build your own firewall" program for the average windows user. The script allows you to control the flow of packets (incoming and outgoing). The current firewall that is built into windows only blocks incoming packets. In Vista you will be able to control both but why wait... Like I said the program is very easy to use:
*. Create A Policy (automatic)
2. Create firewall rules
Even if you totally screw things up... you have the option to "Delete Policy". This will delete all traces of everything you created.
Because I will be submitting the script to Windows IT Pro for publication I would like to ask for you help to find a .bat to .exe converter.... Nooo not the freeware that leaves a message at the top of the file when you run it. A clean, .bat to .exe converter. I will post the script after my submission gets either laughed at or published...
