We developed a new firewall app for Android mobile phones, called
Advanced Firewall. Advanced Firewall is an educational app for
learning the basic of network packet filtering using firewalls. The App
can be also used to create filtering rules and/or select filtering rules
from a list of predefined rules, to protect Android mobile phones
from unwanted incoming and/or outgoing network traffic. The App’s
users should have basic knowledge about TCP/IP protocols.
The App allows performing the following:
- Select filtering rules from a list of predefined rules to filter standard
Internet services.
0 Create basic filtering rules to filter TCP and UDP network traffic.
That is, the filtering rules are defined by setting the values of the
source/destination IP addresses and the source/destination ports.
- Create basic filtering rules to filter ICMP network traffic. That is,
the filtering rules are defined by setting the values of the
source/destination IP addresses and the ICMP Type/Code fields.
- Create filtering rules to filter TCP and UDP services running on non-
standard ports.
- View the logs data of filtered network packets.
To test the filtering rules in this App, Packet Generator app (available
at Google Play Store) can be used.
The App needs rooted android phone. In addition, the App needs
Busybox to be installed, in case the App does not run appropriately.
