Firewalls
A firewall is a hardware or software solution to enforce security policies. In the physical security analogy, a firewall is equivalent to a door lock on a perimeter door or on a door to a room inside of the building - it permits only authorized users such as those with a key or access card to enter. A firewall has built-in filters that can disallow unauthorized or potentially dangerous material from entering the system. It also logs attempted intrusions.

IPFWADM
Ipfwadm is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the IP firewall and accounting rules in the Linux kernel. These rules can be divided into four different catagories: accounting of IP packets, the IP input firewall, the IP output firewall, and the IP forwarding firewall. For each of these catagories, a separate list of rules is maintained. See ipfw(4) for more details.
It should be noted that when combined with various other firewalling technologies including fwtk it can create a very robust, secure, firewall device. It is important to mention that it unto itself is a very flexible single technology firewalling solution. When combined with fwtk which operates at the application level it becomes even more powerful.
