Please Note: Tiny Software was acquired by CA and is expected to release a product called CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (CA HIPS) to replace Tiny Firewall.
- Stateful TF6's network firewall is a combination of stateful filtering on NDIS and TDI layers - in simple terms the firewall ties specific network activity to specific applications.
- Filter per interfaces TF6's firewall allows to differentiate between the network traffic coming through specific network interfaces and apply different rules based on which interface is used.
- Stealth TF6 can make the computer completely stealthed and invisible from the Internet. Optionally there could be different rules for a single network interface when multiple IP addresses are assigned to the interface.
- Pass-Through Traffic If TF is running on a computer with more than one network interface card and the computer is configured as a bridge or a router, IP traffic coming through this bridge/router can be controlled by a special set of Network Security rules.
- Active Directory A translation from local IP address to a computer name or the currently logged on user is optional (user groups use is based on LDAP settings). In Windows 2000 and 2003 environments it allows setting up user based policies no matter of their actual IP address.
- Integrated Intrusion Detection and Prevention IDS/IPS rules (especially from SNORT) fit into the bridge/router configuration even better then to an endpoint computer.
- Windows 2000 Pro SP3+ / XP SP1+. Supports configuration for multiple users on one computer.
- Windows 2003 Server.
