SSN_Firewall

Project Description

• Designed a firewall to allow only certain whitelisted IP addresses to be accessible.
• Used Linux Kernel Modules to make the firewall comparatively less detectable and more robust.
• Implemented an interface for the administrators to view logs of the number of requests sent to each domain name.
• Used NetFilterHooks to filter and drop all packets other than DNS server requests and some whitelisted IP addresses.

Requirements

This firewall is made exclusively for Linux based systems/virtual systems. Make sure you have superuser permissions and you are connected to a IPv4 network (preferrably NITK Net).
