m0n0wall is a project aimed at creating a complete, embedded firewall software package that, when used together with an embedded PC, provides all the important features of commercial firewall boxes (including ease of use) at a fraction of the price (free software).
m0n0wall is based on a bare-bones version of FreeBSD, along with a web server, PHP and a few other utilities. The entire system configuration is stored in one single XML text file to keep things transparent.
m0n0wall is probably the first UNIX system that has its boot-time configuration done with PHP, rather than the usual shell scripts, and that has the entire system configuration stored in XML format.

This beta release consolidates the net45xx, net48xx and wrap images into one single embedded image for all Soekris and PC Engines boards. It also introduces an official VMware image, and includes source port randomization for NAT, as well as many small bug fixes and improvements. The ability to install to HD after booting from the CD-ROM version has been added.
m0n0wall 1.234 adds source port randomization (which mitigates the recently discovered DNS security vulnerability) and contains updated versions of PHP and Dnsmasq.
