netfirecore online with Winfy

We have hosted the application netfirecore in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about netfirecore:

We implement an open source conflict resolution framework that consists of a user-space C application that automatically resolves firewall rules anomalies, and b) a generic tree (called policy tree), implemented as a Linux kernel module which maintains the resolved firewall rules and enables the necessary hooks to netfilter for matching incoming (or outgoing) network packets. Tree-based data structures offer improved efficiency compared to traditional access control lists (e.g. iptables or nftable maps), especially for large systems with a huge number of rules. Preliminary analysis from our implementation on ARM-based embedded systems examines efficiency and scalability of our framework.
