new hardware FreeBSD firewall (Soekris box)
made by 'soekris engineering' in santa cruz, ca. about an hour's drive from me. I bought this unit in person ;)
it runs 'monowall' which is a free opensource firewall for small and embedded systems.
this unit is soekris model 'net5501'. it has 4 10/100 VIA eithernet chips, a serial port for initial config and boots by compact flash (a throw-away 8mb CF card from an old camera!)
runs FreeBSD 4.11 and is managed almost entirely via the embedded web GUI on the device.
the device is fanless and when booted from compact flash has no moving parts. power is via a 'wall wart' similar to what a calculator might use ;)
photo info: panasonic L1 dslr on a tripod and using self-timer (reduce shake). harsh lighting was unfortunately used as I didn't have diffusers large enough for this size of object. shot in jpg mode and a moderate amount of post-processing was done (sharpening, highlight/shadow, cropping).
