Most of you know this exhellent, fullfeatured and very ligheight Personal Firewall.
Their main site is not updated yet, but here's the changelog:
Features Added:
DLL Filtering (Windows 2000-XP only)
Port & IP selection for the Application Filtering
Plug-in interface for localization, rule creation and log analysis by third party applications.
Detection of troyans that are using DLL injection or DNS request through svchost/services.
Detection of non-standard protocols and drivers under Win2000/XP.
Internet Filtering: addition of a context menu to Duplicate/Cut/Copy/Paste a rule
Changes:
Signature verification improvements (Windows 2000-XP only).
New attribute in Application Filtering to have only blocking access in the log or all access.
TCP Stateful Packet Inspection: the maximum number of monitored TCP connections has been set to 128 (instead of 64).
All miscellaneous options in one list in the Advanced Options dialog box.
if the Automatic Selection is enabled for the Network Adapter, no selection occurs until the PC is considered as connected (instead of filtering by default the 1st adapter of the list)
In the "U/D #" column addition of a '-' or '+' information to know if the packet has been blocked or allowed.
In the Application Filtering, it is now possible to sort the lines by clicking on the column headers.
Addition of the 'TCP or UDP' selection to the list of protocols in the rule edition dialog box
Automatic log entries removal when reaching a limit (configurable by the user)
Application filtering: automatic removal of applications which no longer exist
Addition of GB (Giga-Bytes) unit for statistic display in the Welcome page (however there is still the 4 GB limitation)
Fixes:
Compatibility with Hyper-Threading.
In the rule edition dialog box reset of some hidden fields when the protocol has been changed (in particular TCP Flags when changing from TCP to UDP).
in some particular cases (reserved field not set to 0) the TCP Stateful Packet Inspection could reject some valid incoming connections requests
Problem in the Data display zone in the Message Content dialog box (sometime the number of displayed bytes was wrong).
in case of a quick disconnection and reconnection a new IP address was not updated in the ruleset (for rules using "equal my @")
it was possible to create a rule with a right click on log items even when the configuration was locked with a password
Under some 2003 Server configuration, the network interface wasn't correctly detected.
The field "IP to exclude for auto-detection" was sometimes badly interpreted.
The rule names in the log are now correct even if some rule have been added without applied yet.
Crash when the maximum number of Internet Filtering rules was reached.
