Tutorial: Firewalling using netfilter/iptables in Linux 2.4
|
|
|
|
One of the major advantages of the new Linux 2.4.x kernel series is the
|
|
new packet filtering / NAT / packet mangling sybsystem, called iptables.
|
|
Iptables is the successor of ipchains and ipfwadm in 2.2 and 2.0 kernels.
|
|
Major new features are stateful firewalling, extensibility and better NAT
|
|
(Network Address Translation) support.
|
|
|
|
Topics:
|
|
|
|
- concepts behind new netfilter/iptables infrastructure
|
|
- usage of iptables
|
|
- case example of a real-world firewall
|
|
- current (experimental) netfilter work - or "what is patch-o-matic"
|
|
- writing netfilter/iptables extension modules
|
|
|
|
The tutorial will be presented by two of the netfilter core team members,
|
|
Rusty Russel <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> and Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>
