At least the initial intent was to allow that - it was OK for you to sell yourself as the support person for a company using FWTK; over time that became more and more restrictive. I don't think the current FWTK owners distribute it any longer, which I think is a good thing. -Rick
Thanks to Bill Casti, the FireWall ToolKit is still out there (http://www.fwtk.org/). The original and patched distributions can still be downloaded from NAIlabs, via: ftp://ftp.nailabs.com/pub/firewalls/toolkit/ History of TIS and FWTK is available here: ttp://www.mcafeesecurity.com/us/nailabs/research_projects/network_security/extended_secure.asp I wouldn't recommend anybody to actually build a production firewall on this code (the code is inefficient, and there are rumors of buffer overflows), however FWTK would make a good learning tool for a class on proxy firewall design and implementation. As a Gauntlet customer who never did get access to the "Crystal Box" source code, the open-source FWTK was a huge help in testing and managing Gauntlet firewalls, as much of the code in commercial Gauntlet was functionally identical to the code in the toolkit.
