A network security policy compiler.
Netspoc has been migrated from Perl to Go (golang). Released CPAN packages will contain compiled binaries for Linux-x86_64 architecture. These will be installed along with Perl scripts, typically in /usr/local/bin.
Netspoc is free software to manage all the packet filter devices inside your network topology. Filter rules for each device are generated from one central ruleset, using a description of your network topology.
- Supports Cisco and Linux devices
- Chains for iptables.
- Access lists for ASA, NX-OS
- Access lists for IOS with and without Firewall Feature Set.
- Rules are optimized globally
- Adjacent IP ranges and port ranges are joined.
- Redundant rules are removed and optionally warned about.
- Highly optimized chains for iptables are generated.
- Object-groups for ASA and NX-OS are generated.
- IPSec configuration for Cisco ASA, ASA and IOS is generated.
- Commands for static routing are generated (optionally).
- Network address translation (NAT) is supported.
- HSRP / VRRP clusters are supported.
- Multicast traffic for OSPF, EIGRP, HSRP, VRRP is supported.
- Powerful rules language
- Groups can be defined and reused in different rules.
- Automatic groups utilize relationships of the topology.
- Allows to define a secondary packet filter which gets simpler rules if a data stream has already been filtered at some other device.
- Complex topologies with redundant paths are supported.
- Pathrestrictions allow to restrict paths inside a redundant topology.
