According to the official project site:
netfilter is a set of hooks inside the Linux kernel that allows kernel modules to register callback functions with the network stack. A registered callback function is then called back for every packet that traverses the respective hook within the network stack.
This Linux based firewall is controlled by the program called iptables to handles filtering for IPv4, and ip6tables handles filtering for IPv6. I strongly recommend that you first read our quick tutorial that explains how to configure a host-based firewall called Netfilter (iptables) under CentOS / RHEL / Fedora / Redhat Enterprise Linux. This post list most common iptables solutions required by a new Linux user to secure his or her Linux operating system from intruders. ]]> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-examples.html/feed 24 Install Squid Proxy Server on CentOS / Redhat enterprise Linux 5http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-rhel-centos-fedora-squid-installation-configuration.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-rhel-centos-fedora-squid-installation-configuration.html#comments Thu, 30 Aug 2007 11:41:54 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-rhel-centos-fedora-squid-installation-configuration.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-rhel-centos-fedora-squid-installation-configuration.html/feed 55 Linux Iptables: How to specify a range of IP addresses or portshttp://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-how-to-specify-a-range-of-ip-addresses-or-ports.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-how-to-specify-a-range-of-ip-addresses-or-ports.html#comments Mon, 18 Sep 2006 19:13:56 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-how-to-specify-a-range-of-ip-addresses-or-ports.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-how-to-specify-a-range-of-ip-addresses-or-ports.html/feed 5 Linux Iptables block remote X Window server connectionhttp://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/iptables-block-remote-x-window-server-connection.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/iptables-block-remote-x-window-server-connection.html#comments Mon, 10 Jul 2006 19:50:44 +0000 LinuxTitli http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/iptables-block-remote-x-window-server-connection.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/iptables-block-remote-x-window-server-connection.html/feed 0 Connecting Linux or UNIX system to Network attached storage devicehttp://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/connecting-linux-unix-system-network-attached-storage-device.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/connecting-linux-unix-system-network-attached-storage-device.html#comments Fri, 19 May 2006 19:52:33 +0000 nixcraft http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/connecting-linux-unix-system-network-attached-storage-device.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/connecting-linux-unix-system-network-attached-storage-device.html/feed 9 How To Monitor Bandwidth With iptableshttp://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/monitor-bandwidth-with-iptables.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/monitor-bandwidth-with-iptables.html#comments Tue, 27 Dec 2005 14:56:00 +0000 LinuxTitli http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/monitor-bandwidth-with-iptables.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/monitor-bandwidth-with-iptables.html/feed 3 How Do I Run a Firewall Script As Soon As eth0 Interface Brings Up?http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-run-firewall-script-as-soon-as-eth0-interface-brings-up.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-run-firewall-script-as-soon-as-eth0-interface-brings-up.html#comments Mon, 26 Sep 2005 14:06:00 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-run-firewall-script-as-soon-as-eth0-interface-brings-up.html I use ADSL at home via ISP modem.
