A poor man's TCP firewall

This tiny program terminates all TCP connections which are not from a trusted source.

Usage

pmtfw [-f] [-i dev] -a AllowedIP1,AllowedIP2,...,AllowedIPN

-f : stay in foreground

-i DEV : only filter traffic on interface DEV

-a LIST : comma separated list of allowed IPs

-h : show help

FAQ

Q: Which operation systems are supported?

A: The program is designed to run on GNU/Linux but porting it to any other UNIX should be easy.

Q: Why should I use this tool?

A: It was written to allow minimal firewalling on embedded systems where no iptables or hosts.{allow,deny} files are available. The author is using it to have firewalling on crappy IPMI devices.
