Hi people, I'm releasing today a small tool named IPFront which enables users to generate IPSec rules easily. It really speeds-up the process of hardening Windows 2000/2003 in Bastion Host Environment. Additionally, it allows to set-up IPSec exceptions, and enables a couple of TCP/IP Stack protections against DoSes. So, IPFront is nothing more than a small Frontend/GUI that writes small scripts that one can later execute from within IPFront, or externally, as simple script files, in other servers, to apply a same set of parameters to a pool... or whatever you want to use that for. It was developed as a HTA application, so you need at least MSIE 5.5 SP1 to run it. (Sorry). Give it a try, I hope you will enjoy and find it useful.
