Project

Cross Platfor Firewall driver in Go

Description

The Mozilla InvestiGator (MIG) is designing to detect and respond to threats. One way of responding to an attack is to create firewall rules on the targetted endpoint to block an IP, or a particular connection. The goal of this project is to create a library in the Go language that can create and delete firewall rules on Windows (example), MacOS and Linux (iptables and ntables). The library should also be able to retrieve a ruleset from a host in a standard format (JSON).
