Ferm simplifies the management and configuration of complex firewall rules. It is software designed to handle the setup and maintenance of such rules.
Ferm is written using the Perl programming language and requires the use of Perl5 along with one of the kernel firewall programs, namely ipchains, iptables, or ipfwadm, to function effectively. However, those interested in testing firewall rule development can experiment with the tool on any platform that supports Perl.
To get a better understanding of how Ferm works, we highly recommend exploring the examples listed at the top of this page. These examples will provide a clearer understanding of the tool's capabilities and the benefits it provides to firewall administrators looking to create and maintain effective firewall rules.
