Distribution of Firewall Rules Across Multiple Filtering Devices

Typically, software firewalls contain a large number of rules to filter traffic between two network segments. However, many other devices are also capable of filtering traffic, but are ignored in the configuration, due to complexity. Hence, we want to distribute firewall rules across multiple filtering devices to have an equal spread of filter efforts.

• Learn on different capabilities of filtering devices
• Create a concept to invert rulesets between whitelist and blacklist
• Develop algorithm and formal description for distribution
• Evaluate level of sevurity and compare results before and after distribution

• Network Security
• Python
