Yoggie Opens up its Miniature Hardware Firewall

BETH HALEVY, Israel, November 11, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
- Yoggie Releases Cutting-Edge Source Code and its Linux-Based Hardware
Platform to the Developer Community
Yoggie Security Systems(TM) today launched its new Open Firewall Pico(TM)
and Open Firewall SOHO(TM), the first open hardware firewalls based on its
award-winning Gatekeeper technology.
The Open Firewall products are extremely powerful Linux-based miniature
computers with 520 MHz ARM CPU, 128 RAM and 128 Flash memory. These unique
products will enable developers, security professionals and hobbyists to
experiment with Yoggie's own open source hardware firewall for the first
time. Yoggie's award-winning product line was designed and built on a Linux
platform. Yoggie will release the source code to its powerful firewall
products in a full developer SDK, as well as source code to most of the
applications on its platform.
The Open Firewall Pico takes on the form factor of the publicly-acclaimed
Gatekeeper Pico - which is the size of a standard USB key - and will allow
anyone to test their own settings on one of the smallest, most powerful Linux
machines on the market. For the first time the open source and hobbyist coder
community will be able to try out their own scripts and experiment in real
time on their own pocket version of a hardware firewall. The Open Firewall
SOHO has two Ethernet ports and no driver is necessary as it can protect any
type of OS and computer.
Shlomo Touboul, Founder and CEO of Yoggie Security Systems said: "We are
very excited to share with the development community this powerful platform
that includes a fully functioning Firewall, protecting out of the box
Windows, Mac and Linux PCs. Limited only by their imagination, developers can
add incredible extensions and applications to produce enhanced solutions for
PC security, management, backup and content sharing."
Yoggie has also launched a new Yoggie developer community site to provide
a forum for developers to support each other and enable new software,
concepts and scripts to be exchanged and discussed. All are welcome to join,
from the individual software enthusiast, to members of the hardware
engineering community and students.
Visit the Yoggie developer community section at
http://www.yoggie.com/developers.
Developers will be able to re-configure their hardware or modify the
software installed with CLI (Command line interface) using standard SSH
protocol. This means applications like PuTTY, or file-manager type
applications such as WinSCP are supported.
The new products, Open Firewall Pico and Open Firewall SOHO, will be
available at special introductory prices:
Open Firewall Pico (http://www.yoggie.com/open-firewall-pico) MSRP $69
--> Special 3 month introductory offer $49
Open Firewall SOHO (http://www.yoggie.com/open-firewall-soho) MSRP $99

For this price, users will receive a full product suite consisting of a
hardware firewall, developer SDK and full SSH access, as well as membership
of the online Yoggie developer community.
