Honeywall ISO customization tools

The Honeywall ISO supports two types of customization: "Template" customization, and "boot-time customization." You would typically use "template customization" to add new programs to the distributed ISO image. You would typically use "boot-time customization" to include system-specific public/private key pairs, unique passwords, new defaults for configuring the honeywall, etc. For more information, read the documentation listed here:

The customization environment requires a Linux system running a similar kernel and libraries to that used by the Honeywall ISO. Install the tools listed here to experiment with customization. [Note: You must use "make configure" after first unpacking the customization scripts.]

Tools

honeywall-custom-55.tgz (Last stable version of customization environment)
honeywall-custom-60.tgz.md5 (MD5 hash)
honeywall-custom-60.tgz (Most recent customization scripts and examples)
honeywall-custom-60.tgz.md5
Example package files
Example hwpkg.list file to include these packages
Misc. scripts that can be added using customization

The following are pre-customized ISO images for various reasons. (They are for testing within the Research Alliance and are not for public consumption.)
