A quick and easy CGI Perl firewall log parser that gives an up to date look at logs created by ipchains. It diplays the firewall logs as a HTML page.

It requires an IPChains firewall to log unauthorised attempts to connect to ports. The CGI script then parses the /var/log/messages file.

Perl 5
Ipchains
A webserver (Apache)

The current release is 0.1.
To install simply place the script in the cgi-bin directory.

I tend to use the firewall script plonk

In order to cycle the firewall logs on a more regular basis I use FireParse as part of a daily cron job.

OK ... I make no claims about this software being safe to use on your system and you do so at your own risk
