Protect your computer from bad Tuxs

Everyone connected to the Internet is vulnerable to intrusion from hackers who get into the systems in search of security holes in your operating systems and applications. This threat is even more important if the computer is connected to the Internet. And why security is becoming an increasingly important sector in IT (information technology) and the complexity of the implementation differs from one operating system to another. It is therefore necessary to protect your computer from intrusion by installing a firewall.

It is in this context that is our project and that's why we developed BadTuxWall. BadTuxWall is a Linux firewall that allows you to manage your security, without having the slightest idea about Netfilter and iptables commands, only by using a Graphical User Interface.
