  Description     : Firewall Knock Operator - advanced port knock daemon

(Include the long description here.)

fwknop stands for "Firewall Knock Operator" and is a piece of software
that I released at the DEFCON 12 conference in July, 2004 in Las
Vegas: presentation slides

fwknop implements network access controls (via iptables) based on a
flexible port knocking mini-language, but with a twist; it combines
port knocking and passive operating system fingerprinting to make it
possible to do things like only allow, say, Linux-2.4/2.6 systems to
connect to your SSH daemon.

fwknop supports shared, multi-protocol port knock sequences along with
both relative and absolute timeouts, and coded port knock sequences
encrypted with the Rijndael block cipher.
