| | Netfilter/iptables - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Prior to iptables, the predominant software packages for creating Linux firewalls were ipchains in Linux 2.2 and ipfwadm in Linux 2.0, which in turn was based on BSD's ipfw. | | | Because iptables requires elevated privileges to operate, it must be executed by user root, otherwise it fails to function. | | | iptables, the NAT subsystem and the connection tracking subsystem are also extensible, and many extensions are included in the base iptables package, such as the iptables extension which allows querying of the connection state mentioned above. |

| | Installing and Configuring iptables |
| | Iptables can also be used to block specific, rowdy users on your network from accessing your computer. | | | Iptables is the basic program for implementing a Linux firewall. | | | For the rules you created in the previous section to persist after you reboot your computer, they must be reapplied each time the computer starts. |

| | IPTables Linux firewall with packet string-matching support |
| | It should be noted that packet filter such as iptables does not become higher-layer-protocol-aware since it still operates at network level (layer 3 in OSI structure), but is only allowed to peek at payloads, rather than analyze the application-level communication structure. | | | First, one might want to run the program to include the iptables patches that are already considered stable, but have not been included in the kernel release. | | | One such project is Hogwash, which couples the Snort IDS rule-matching engine with iptables in order to respond to packets with attack signatures in them. |

| | Iptables is a generic table structure for the definition of rulesets. | | | In December, the Honeypot Project released findings indicating that an unpatched Linux machine could survive for months connected to the Internet, compared to reports of a lifespan as short as four minutes for a some Windows operating systems. | | | That's why there are so many interfaces to iptables - but many of them are still a bit too tough for your average Linux newbies. |

| | Using Linux iptables or ipchains to set up an internet gateway / firewall / routerfor home or office. |
| | Use Linux ipchains / iptables and IP forwarding to configure Linux as a firewall and router. | | | The request is returned to the gateway which then translates the IP address to computer on the private network which made the request. | | | Using Linux and iptables / ipchains one can configure a gateway which will allow all computers on a private network to connect to the internet via the gateway and one external IP address, using a technology called "Network Address Translation" (NAT) or masquerading and private subnets. |

| | For example, if you are remotely logging on to another machine via SSH, the computer you are currently using and the computer to which you are trying to connect will exchange many packets of information over port 22 (the port dedicated to SSH communications). | | | Iptables has three default "chains" of rules to help determine what happens with packets of information being sent to or from your computer: INPUT, FORWARD, and OUTPUT. | | | For example, if you want all computers to be able to remotely logon to your computer via SSH, you can use the following command. |

| | The optional match section of the iptables command specifies the characteristics that a packet should have to match the rule, such as source and destination address, protocol, etc. The matches are divided in two major categories: generic matches and protocol-specific matches. | | | For this article, we are using iptables userspace tool version 1.2.6a and kernel version 2.4.9. | | | As we already know, the iptables userspace tool is available with the standard install of this Linux distribution. |

| | iptables is a pure packet filter when using the default `filter' table, with optional extension modules. | | | The other main difference is that -i refers to the input interface; -o refers to the output interface, and both are available for packets entering the FORWARD chain. | | | Marc Boucher made Rusty abandon ipnatctl by lobbying for a generic packet selection framework in iptables, then wrote the mangle table, the owner match, the mark stuff, and ran around doing cool stuff everywhere. |
