Netcitadel Firewall Builder v3.0.1.565

Firewall Builder is a GUI firewall configuration and management tool that supports iptables (netfilter), ipfilter, pf, ipfw, Cisco PIX (FWSM, ASA) and Cisco routers extended access lists. Firewall Builder uses object-oriented approach, it helps administrator maintain a database of network objects and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop operations

 

Key Features

    * Being truly vendor-neutral, Firewall Builder can generate configuration file for any supported target firewall platform from the same policy created in its GUI. This provides for both consistent policy management solution for heterogeneous environments and possible migration path.

    * Policy compiler for PIX, which recently has been released under GPL, allows Firewall Builder to function as a sophisticated policy management software for Cisco PIX firewall with access to all functions of PIX including newest features added in v7.x.

    * Policy compiler for Cisco IOS Access Lists adds support for router access lists and turns Firewall Builder into complete solution for the multi-tiered network security.

    * Firewall Builder allows for management of multiple firewalls using the same network object database. Change made to an object is immediately reflected in the policy of all firewalls using this object. Administrator only needs to recompile and install policies on actual firewall machines.

    * Built-in interactive installer uses ssh to communicated with the firewall and can automatically copy generated policy and activate it. Installer supports batch mode of operation and can update policy on multiple firewalls in one session.

    * In Firewall Builder, administrator works with an abstraction of firewall policy and NAT rules; software effectively "hides" specifics of particular target firewall platform and helps administrator focus on implementation of security policy. Backend software components, or policy compilers, can deduct many parameters of policy rules using information available through network and service objects and therefore generate fairly complex code for the target firewall, thus relieving administrator from having to remember all its details and limitations. Policy compilers can also run sanity checks on firewall rules and make sure typical errors are caught before generated policy is deployed.

SciTech .NET Memory Profiler v3.1.312

.NET Memory Profiler is a powerful tool for finding memory leaks and optimizing the memory usage in programs written in C#, VB.NET or any other .NET Language.

.NET Memory Profiler will help you to:

* View real-time memory and resource information

* The profiler presents real-time information about all .NET instance allocations performed on the garbage collected heap and all instances that reside on the heap. (more...)

Easily identify memory leaks by collecting and comparing snapshots of .NET memory

* Snapshots include data about the .NET instance allocations and live instances at the time the snapshot was collected. They provide a lot of useful information and make it easy to identify potential memory leaks, especially when two snapshots are compared. (more...)

Find instances that are not properly disposed

The profiler also contains a dispose tracker, which provides additional data about disposable instances (i.e. instances of classes implementing the System.IDisposable interface). (more...)

* Get detailed information about unmanaged resource usage

* The unmanaged resources tracker can collect detailed information about unmanaged resources (such as HWND, HBITMAP and unmanaged memory) and present it together with the .NET memory information. (more...)

* Optimize memory usage

* The heap-utilization tracker will tell you how the managed heaps are used. Together with the real-time view and the dispose tracker this information can be used to optimize the memory usage of the application.

* Investigate memory problems in production code

* Profiling memory problems in production code is greatly simplified by using the "attach to process" feature and the possibility to import memory dump files.

* Perform automated memory testing

* The .NET Memory Profiler API makes it possible to automatically detect memory leaks and control the profiler from within the profiled program. (more...)

* Retrieve information about native memory

* In addition to presenting information about the GC heap and unmanaged resources, the profiler also presents information about the native memory of the profiled process or any other process running on the computer. (more...)
