In 2003, NAI removed the e-mail license agreement restriction. Now, just visit their FTP server ftp://ftp.nailabs.com/pub/firewalls/toolkit/ Your host must support reverse name lookup (name matching an IP address) in order for the FTP to work.

1.4: I am having problem downloading the toolkit...
First, the system that you are downloading from must support reverse name lookup. Second, you must use binary mode for FTP transmission. Third, you must follow the instructions above in order to get the name of the random directory. Finally, since that directory name changes, you must download the toolkit immediately after receiving the confirmation e-mail.

If you still are not able to download it, you can contact fwtk-req-help@nailabs.com.
