  1. Prepare your firewall policy in a text file such that each rule is written on a separate line. The rule format must be as follows (see sample policy file policy.txt):
  2. <rule> := <protocol>, <source-address>, <source-port>, <destination-address>, <destination-port>, <action>
    <protocol> := <tcp | udp>
    <address> := <byte>.<byte>.<byte>.<byte>/<host-bits>
    <byte> := <0-255>
    <host-bits> := <0-32>
    <port> := <0-65535>
    <action> := <accept | deny>

     
  3. Run the PolicyVisor using the command line:

    java -jar PolicyVisor.jar

     
  4. Click the <Load> button and select the policy file.

     

  5. The PolicyVisor automatically loads the firewall policy and performs the anomaly analysis. The result of the analysis is displayed on the program window as follows:
