Looking for personal firewall that has commandline interface for Windows XP

Question

I'm looking for personal firewall that has commandline interface for Windows XP. It may have a GUI, but it must have commandline interface as i have to automate the configurations.

advfirewall of win7 for example is great, but it doesn't exist on Windows XP.

Answer 1

The Windows XP built-in firewall does not come with a command-line interface, but one can easily be written – all configuration is in the Registry, and changes to it are applied immediately. Automating the configuration might be as simple as importing a .reg file. (Active Directory has its own methods too.)

HKLM\SYSTEM\Services\CurrentControlSet\SharedAccess

Answer 2

There is this one - winipfw

http://wipfw.sourceforge.net/ "WIPFW is a MS Windows operable version of IPFW for FreeBSD OS. You can use the same functionality and configure it as only you work with IPFW"

There's also pktfilter– apparently at least somewhat like linux's iptables or ipchains but for windows "PktFilter is a software that can configure the IP filtering device driver found in Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, with filtering rules following a syntax similar to Linux’s IP Filter."
