• I have combined my LogSwap and CPFWBack tools, and added my extract_patch tool into CPFW1TK--the Check Point Firewall-1 Tool Kit. LogSwap and CPFWBack work under both Windows and UNIX. Extract_patch is unnecessary under UNIX.

CPFW1TK-3.2.0-2.exe (288,965 bytes) has the scripts and all other binaries needed to run. It also includes the UNIX scripts just for fun, and it has some other bonus stuff. It is a self-extracting ZIP archive.
CPFW1TK-3.2.0-1.tgz (10,251 bytes) just has the UNIX scripts and ReadMe files.

Extract_patch was created for extracting Check Point patches under Windows, without installing WinZip, since Check Point are now distributing all patches in TGZ format. But it will work for any TGZ (or .tar.gz, or .gz or .tar) you wish to extract under Windows, without having to install WinZip. It combines Win32 ports of the GNU tar.exe, gzip.exe and md5sum.exe utilities, so you can unpack and verify *.tgz files.

LogSwap archives or "rolls" Firewall-1 logs. It includes Logswap.cmd, obsolete.com, audit.com and gzip.exe for Win32.

CPFWBack greatly automates the annoying process of backing up Firewall-1 configurations. It includes CPFWBack.cmd, zip.exe, unzip.exe and vdate.exe for Win32 and CPFWBack.sh for UNIX.

• I've also created an add-on called jpcshrc for the default csh configuration in Nokia's IPSO 3.4.1-FCS5. It sets the csh prompt to your current working directory, and add some aliases (mostly DOS commands, since I can't remember what OS I'm using).
• PhoneBoy's FireWall-1 FAQ site. The old software section seems to be gone and the new one is empty.
• Essential Check Point FireWall-1, ISBN 0201699508, written by Dameon D. Welch-Abernathy (AKA PhoneBoy), owner/operator of the above FireWall-1 FAQ site. There is also Essential Check Point FireWall-1 NG in the works, probably available in early 2004.
• Tom Horsley's NTP Time for Windows is a nice NTP client program. It is free, but is a client only, and can be configured to talk to only one NTP server at a time. NTP works much better when referencing a pool of servers. BUT, it allows you to use NTP to time-sync a hardened NT Firewall server. The NT Resource kit TimeServ will not run with the NT Workstation service disabled or removed (which it should be on a firewall!!!)
• fwlogsum "is a perl script to summarise FW1 logs making it easier to see what services are being blocked or allowed through your firewall."
