Firewalls
Ok so idk what to write for the title, I just have some questions related to firewalls.
I have been developing a frontend for nftables, much like UFW and firewalld, in order to teach myself about cyber security. I want this tool to be helpful in what rules and policies to make.
My questions are, how would I make this tool more like firewalld which is a daemon doing dynamic packet filtering? How would I make this tool more useful than just a frontend cli for ease of setting up a table in nftables?
Secondly, what guides are there that specifically outline what rules that are useful to have in a firewall, and I mean in detail, specific rules, for example, "drop all icmp packets" and reasons to apply these rules, etc?
Anything is helpful.
Thanks
