    White Paper: Indestructible Firewall In A Box v1.0 Nick McCubbins 1.1 Credits • Nathan Yawn ([email protected]) 1.2 Acknowledgements • Firewall-HOWTO • Linux Router Project • LEM 1.3 Revision History • Version 1.0 First public release 1.4 Feedback • Send all information and/or criticisms to [email protected] 1.5 Distribution Policy 2 Abstract In this document, the procedure for creating an embedded firewall whose root filesystem is loaded from a flash disk and then executed from a RAMdisk will be illustrated. A machine such as this has uses in many environments, from corporate internet access to sharing of a cable modem or xDSL connection among many computers. It has the advantages of being very light and fast, being impervious to filesystem corruption due to power loss, and being largely impervious to malicious crackers. The type of firewall illustrated herein is a simple packet-filtering, masquerading setup. Facilities for this already exist in the Linux kernel, keeping the system's memory footprint small. As such the device lends itself to embedding very well. For a more detailed description of firewall particulars, see the Linux Firewall-HOWTO. 3 Equipment This project has minimal hardware requirements. An excellent configuration consists of: For a 100-baseT network: • SBC-554 Pentium SBC with PISA bus and on-board PCI NIC (http://www.emacinc.com/pc.htm#pentiumsbc), approx. $373 • PISA backplane, chassis, power supply (http://www.emacinc.com/sbcpc_addons/mbpc641.htm), approx. $305 • Second PCI NIC • 32 MB RAM • 4 MB M-Systems Flash Disk (minimum), approx. $45 For a 10-baseT network: • EMAC's Standard Server-in-a-Box product (http://www.emacinc.com/server_in_a_box.htm), approx.

  • Chapter 3. Booting Operating Systems
    Chapter 3. Booting Operating Systems Abstract: Chapter 3 provides a complete coverage on operating systems booting. It explains the booting principle and the booting sequence of various kinds of bootable devices. These include booting from floppy disk, hard disk, CDROM and USB drives. Instead of writing a customized booter to boot up only MTX, it shows how to develop booter programs to boot up real operating systems, such as Linux, from a variety of bootable devices. In particular, it shows how to boot up generic Linux bzImage kernels with initial ramdisk support. It is shown that the hard disk and CDROM booters developed in this book are comparable to GRUB and isolinux in performance. In addition, it demonstrates the booter programs by sample systems. 3.1. Booting Booting, which is short for bootstrap, refers to the process of loading an operating system image into computer memory and starting up the operating system. As such, it is the first step to run an operating system. Despite its importance and widespread interests among computer users, the subject of booting is rarely discussed in operating system books. Information on booting are usually scattered and, in most cases, incomplete. A systematic treatment of the booting process has been lacking. The purpose of this chapter is to try to fill this void. In this chapter, we shall discuss the booting principle and show how to write booter programs to boot up real operating systems. As one might expect, the booting process is highly machine dependent. To be more specific, we shall only consider the booting process of Intel x86 based PCs.
