This paper proposes a method to analyze the firewall policy or rule-set using Relational Algebra and Raining 2D-Box Model. It can discover all the anomalies in the firewall rule-set in the format that is usually used by many firewall products such as Cisco Access Control List, IPTABLES, IPCHAINS and Check Point Firewall-1. While the existing analyzing methods consider the anomalies between any two rules in the firewall rule-set, more than two rules are considered together at the same time to discover the anomaly. Therefore all the hidden anomalies can be found in the firewall rule-set. Results from analyzing can be used with the proposed rules-combination method presented in this paper, to minimize the firewall rule without changing the policy.
