Abstract
Smooth Wall Express [12] is a free GPL firewall. It uses iptables [20] for firewall rules and Snort [14] as an intrusion detection system (IDS). This paper describes the installation of Smooth Wall. It presents sample SmoothWall laboratory exercises for teaching network security using iptables and Snort.

Malicious Bots Threaten Network Security
Viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and network intrusions are among the threats that security administrators worry about on a regular basis. However, there is a less familiar threat that many experts say could be just as dangerous: malicious bot software. A ...
