Hi all,

Im looking for an FW open source which includes  IPS, I know that IPCop has
one but its and ids and not IPS.

any ideas??

many... depends on your requirement.

fwsnort: Is a string patter detection tool that can be mixed with iptables. 
fwsnort is an option, i don't test it before, but be careful on fragmentation 
attacks. http://cipherdyne.org/fwsnort/

Snort can be configured as IPS with iptables triggers (snort_inline: 
http://snort-inline.sourceforge.net/). But this configuration have some issues 
and you need to be extra-careful. 


thanks !
