Zeroshell

Zeroshell

Zeroshell is a small Linux distribution for servers and embedded systems which aims to provide network services. As its name implies, you don't need to use a shell (computing) to administer and configure Zeroshell, because you can use a web based Graphical user interface.Zeroshell is available as Live CD and CompactFlash images, and VMware virtual machines.

Some features

* RADIUS server which is able to provide strong authentication for the Wireless clients by using IEEE 802.1X and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) protocols;

* Captive portal for network authentication in the HotSpots by using a web browser. The credentials can be verified against a Radius server, a Kerberos 5 KDC (such as Active Directory KDC);

* QoS and traffic shaping management to control the maximum bandwidth, the guaranteed bandwidth and the priority of some types of traffic such as VoIP and Peer-to-peer;

* VPN host-to-LAN and LAN-to-LAN with the IPSec/L2TP and OpenVPN protocols;

* Routing and Bridging capabilities with VLAN IEEE 802.1Q support;

* Firewall Packet Filter and Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI);

* Layer 7 filter to block or shape the connections generated by Peer to Peer clients;

* TCP and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) virtual servers (Port Forwarding);

* Multizone DNS (Domain name system) server;

* Multi subnet DHCP server;

* PPPoE client for connection to the WAN (Wide area network) via ADSL, DSL and cable lines;

* Dynamic DNS client updater for DynDNS;

* NTP (Network Time Protocol) client and server;

* Syslog server for receiving and cataloging the system logs produced by the remote hosts;

* Kerberos 5 authentication;

* LDAP server;

* X.509 certification authority.
