Surely it won't be easy to implement!

P.S.: Next time, avoid using text speak please.

Solution 1

Use any language you are familiar with and competant in.

Why ask about windows when you want to do it for linux?

The answer is no, it is difficult because every bugger out there is trying to break windows.

Solution 2

I suppose you've to go low-level and hence the favourite choice could be C.
As about Windows, only Jesus knows: have a look at the following (bit dated) CodeProject's article Developing Firewalls for Windows 2000/XP[^].

I really don't know. You probably need a deep knowledge of the problem and related technologies before starting such an enterprise.
