We are starting work on a firewall comparison table at http://wiki.castlecops.com/Firewall_-_Comparison It is still in the very early stages, any advise, question,help is welcome. The main problem here is what features to be listed.

Why no matousec? Leak testing is separate from his firewall vulnerability report anyway , so I don't see what the problem is.

Compare the guys who are behind (or used to be anyway) rootkit unhooker are acting like a bunch of crazed animals and far far less professionally, yet you and people here don't have a problem recommending rootkit unhooker.

Things I might add or suggest to change:

Logging: Detailed or Informative Logging?
Free or Shareware
Impact on system resources: Light/Medium/Heavy
Level of vendor support: Poor/Average/Excellent
User friendly? Yes/No
Isn�t File integrity control and Application launch control part of HIPS capable?

These are just just quick ideas, but not necessarily essential for the comparison, otherwise I like this initiative and its early development.
