Firewall-1 Response is a Perl script that executes active responses on Checkpoint Firewall-1, by implementing simple commands.
One of the key features of Firewall-1 Response is its ability to deliver a command line interface through the 'fw sam' tool. This allows users to dynamically change the security policy of one or more firewalls without requiring administrative intervention. However, it's important to note that this feature does come with a certain level of risk if not used correctly.
In the wrong hands, improperly configured scripts that make use of dynamic rule changes could potentially be used to facilitate a DoS attack on your network. This is something that users should be aware of and take into account when deciding whether or not to utilize such features.
