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.
