After:
- Working as a SOC Analyst for 2 years.
- Working as QA Tester for 5 years.
- Being a Bash Developer for 1 year.
- Studying IT for years.
- Studying Cybersecurity for several years.
Using Arch for a long time.I decided to give back to the open-source community for giving me the gift of Arch Linux. In an era of rising digital threats, bloated operating systems, and opaque security practices, IronGate is a tool built for those who value Cybersecurity: SOC Analysts, Red Teamers, Programmers alike. Born on Arch Linux, forged in fire, and built with full respect for user autonomy.
What is IronGate?
IronGate is a rapid-response network lockdown tool designed to instantly isolate your machine in the event of compromise or digital interference. In seconds, it can:
- Shut down all interfaces (WiFi, Ethernet, RF)
- Flush DNS + kill IP routes
- Drop all firewall rules (INPUT, OUTPUT, FORWARD)
- Unload NIC drivers
- Disable NetworkManager
- Log every step with timestamped, LibreOffice-compatible logs
This is more than a script—it's an air-gap protocol, built to protect digital sovereignty.
Why It Matters (To Us)
I built this tool on Arch Linux, because like many of you, I believe in user-first freedom. Arch is more than an OS—it's a commitment to control, transparency, and respect. IronGate was designed with that same ethos:
“Every piece of software, every config, every security measure is chosen by the user.”
— Redefining the Arch Linux Experience
This tool is #FOSS, no strings attached. You can audit the code, improve it, and deploy it however you see fit. It’s not a product—it’s a shield for Cyberspace, in an era of increasing threats, and unknowns.
What the Community Should Know
"Pull this tool from my repo. Save it and make backups. It's a must for any real tech."
"It will keep you anonymous and your system safe in case of an attack—or before one."
"One of my best pieces of work to date. This one's on the house. 😎"
Works on Arch. Built on Arch. Released for the community.
Whether you’re just getting into system defense, or you’ve been hardening boxes for years—IronGate will serve you well when it matters most.

This is a demo of a product or project that isn't on-topic for r/programming. r/programming is a technical subreddit and isn't a place to show off your project or to solicit feedback.
If this is an ad for a product, it's simply not welcome here.
If it is a project that you made, the submission must focus on what makes it technically interesting and not simply what the project does or that you are the author. Simply linking to a github repo is not sufficient

What the heck does libre office compatible log mean?

Or I could just pull the ethernet cable out of the socket.
What is a "libre office compatible log"? Since when is libre office in any way shape or form involved in anything that has to do with logging?
