Hi list,
Could any one recommend any firewall related mailing lists?
Looking for options on converting a large amount of Fortinet rules to
Checkpoint. Ultimately converting the entire configuration to Checkpoint
would be nice.
Thank you for any advice you can provide.
Respectfully,
Ed
The firewall mailing lists tend to be pretty dead now a days.
Your best bet is probably writing a python script to convert the
rules/objects over. You may have some luck asking the vendors professional
services group to do it. Depending on the size of the order perhaps you can
toss it in or just add the hours to the PO. Most PS groups have scripts
already written to convert from other vendors configs to their platform.
Good luck,
-Tim Eberhard

theres a post online asking the same question back in early 2010 with no responses...
there are also a lost of tools that do Checkpoint TO Fortinet - says something? 
but actually, looking for firewall conversion tools does give you a picture
of typical/common moves

It might also be interesting to post some redacted/simplified examples of
both formats. If the conversion is "just" text manipulation and reworking
of logic, it might not be hard to cobble something basic together quickly,
and then crowdsource improvements quickly on Github.
