Anything that can listen on sockets, etc. And no, you can't make one in batch.

 

id say c++ but have fun with that

 

Well, any language really.

The hard part though, isn't programming the language, its monitering both program control and packets sent and recieved via TCP/UDP. You would have to determine what packets are harmful, and what are not, and you would need to know what sort of access different programs want, as well as what actions performed by certain programs are considered dangerous ...

All-in-all, this DEFINITELY isn't a one-man job I'm affraid.

C/C++/ASM is your best bet.

And no, you don't hardcode it in ASM, you debug it in ASM.

 

It's stupid to ask what programming language something like a firewall is coded in. You should ask yourself what programming languages you know and move on from there. You can make a firewall in VB6 just fine or you can make it in C++, but then again if you're asking this then YOU probably are not capable of making it at all.
