CUTTER 1.03 - April 2005

By Chris Lowth <chris@lowth.com>

"Cutter" is an open source program that allows Linux firewall administrators to abort TCP/IP connections routed over the firewall or router on which it is run.

Documentation and downloads are available at: http://www.lowth.com/cutter

IMPORTANT WARNING

Cutter has been designed for use as an administrators tool for Linux firewalls. It's use (as is, or modified) for any other purpose is not sanctioned by the author. So - do not use this tool as a parachute, or to dry your cat, chill meat, answer your phone, drive you car, teach your kids to read or attack other people's computer systems or networks.

This software has been designed for "legal" and "appropriate" use by network security administrators and the like. It has been written as part of a larger Linux firewall project, targetting at controlling traffic from peer-to-peer software such as Kazaa, iMesh and others into and out of a private network. It is not designed as a tool for malicious use and the author in no way sanctions such use.

Users of the software should be aware that it's actions are easily detectable using a number of readily available network monitoring tools, and it makes no attempt to disguise it's actions. Malicious use of "cutter" could result in a jail sentance in a number of countries around the world.

The author is not responsible for the results of using this software. It is provided "as is" in the hope that it will be useful, but no garantees are made about it's use (see "LICENSE", below).

Cutter is released under the terms of GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2 (June 1991) and comes with all the usual freedom, openness and disclaimers associated with that license. Please see the "COPYING" file for details.

STATUS

Cutter should be considered EXPERIMENTAL. The author is releasing a tool that works on the systems he has access to (namely: IPCop and RedHat Linux), and he is seeking input on it's use on other systems, ideas for improvement, offers of sponsorship - etc.
