PacketFence is a Free and Open Source network access control (NAC) system. PacketFence is actively maintained and has been deployed in numerous large-scale institutions over the past years. It can be used to effectively secure networks - from small to very large heterogeneous networks. PacketFence provides an impressive list of supported features. Among them, there are: - NAC-oriented functionalities such as * Registration of new network devices * Detection of abnormal network activities (computer virus, worms, spyware, etc.) including from remote Snort sensors * Isolation of problematic devices * Remediation through a captive portal * Registration-based and scheduled vulnerability scans (including Nessus scans) - VLAN isolation with VoIP support (even in heterogeneous environments) for multiple switch vendors - Support for 802.1X through a FreeRADIUS module - Wireless integration with FreeRADIUS which allows you to secure your wired and wireless networks the same way - DHCP fingerprinting which can be used to automatically register VoIP phones, game consoles and more - Web-based and command-line interfaces for management tasks   [edit]
