Abstract

The objective of my thesis is to develop a firewall interface for FTP, HTTP and SMTP servers. A firewall interface is a graphical user interface (GUI) to configure the properties of the server. Using this interface, we can spy a user, block and unblock the IP address of a client, display statistics of user and server. We can track all the user actions while he is connected to the server. These actions are logged and based on the log data we can deny access to users performing illegal operations. All the servers and interfaces are written in Java. Java was chosen because it is platform independent.
