firewall

[č]Allows website requests filtering and header alteration --- icon from: Martz90 http://martz90.deviantart.com/art/Hex-Icons-Pack-389706981

Features & Capabilities

[manual]

Requested resources have origin url (site's address) and target url.

Default origin is set to .* (all sites).

Please note, that there cannot be used semicolon in text tokens, because it works like line breaker and asterisk as first character of word (it translate variable name to its value). When this is needed, please use base64 version of value and b64d (base 64 decode) function in program (see example).

  • request blocking - Firewall works by testing currently loading site's url (origin) against url-reg-exp given in command origin. If it matches, then ALL rules of given set will be tested one by one. Every rule can decide if target is allowed or blocked. At the end, final result of those iterations is used.

  • header alteration - Header alteration rules are evaluated immediately.

/commands:

origin url-reg-exp - create new rule set for given url (regular expression form) disable - disable current rule set

block url-reg-exp - add blocking rule for target url (blacklist) allow url-reg-exp - whitelist all that matches

requestHeader Header-Name [value] - alter request header value for current origin responseHeader Header-Name [value] - alter response header value for current origin

(if value is omitted, header is discarded)

/example:

discard all X-Frame-Options headers on all loaded sites

responseHeader X-Frame-Options

block [anything].google(-analytics, etc.) on steam

origin steampowered block .google

semicolon usage

origin mozilla.org block .png; block .svg; block .css

using previous origin (mozilla.org)

allowing .css again

base64 for .css is XC5jc3M= ... in dev console: btoa('\.css')

b64d XC5jc3M= allow *

Is firewall Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

firewall requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ****** *** ********* ** ******* *** ******* ******* ** ****** *** *** ******** ******
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

firewall has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.

Risk likelihood analysis details
  • High This extension has low user count. Unpopular extensions may not be stable or safe.
  • Low **** ********* *** ******* **** **** * ****** **** ***** ******** *** **** ****** ** ** ****** *** *****
  • Low **** ********* *** ***** **** **** * ****** **** ***** ********** *** **** ****** ** ** ****** *** *****
  • Good **** ********* *** **** **** *******
