Tiny Personal Firewall 6.0.100

Tiny Personal Firewall is also an integral part in Tiny Software?s new Centrally Managed Desktop Security (CMDS) system awarded a contract by the US Air Force to encompass about 500,000 desktop computers. The following descriptions demonstrate the simplicity of use, yet powerful features of Tiny Personal Firewall.

Intrusion Detection

Personal Firewall includes an easy-to-use wizard that detects unknown activity and prompts the user for setup information. After the setup is complete, a new rule is applied to the filter rules list. This option may be disabled.

Application Filter

To protect from Trojan horse and other unauthorized applications, Personal Firewall includes an application filter. The wizard will detect when an application attempts to bind to a port for communication and create a filter rule based on the users input. Users may permit applications manually from the filter rules. Tiny Personal Firewall also provides a database of common applications that use known ports.

MD5 Signature Support

To ensure that Trojan horse applications cannot pose as a trusted application, Tiny Personal Firewall offers the option to check for an MD5 digital signature for trusted applications.
