DESCRIPTION:
The book will keep the subtle syntax straight and help you remember all the values you have to enter in order to be as secure as possible. Large sets of filtering rules can be grouped in ways that makes it easy to test them and turn them on and off.Do you watch for all types of ICMP traffic--some of them quite dangerous? Can you take advantage of stateful filtering to simplify the management of TCP connections? Would you like to track how much traffic of various types you get?This pocket reference will help you at those critical moments when someone asks you to open or close a port in a hurry, either to enable some important traffic or to block an attack. Firewalls, Network Address Translation (NAT), network logging and accounting are all provided by Linux's Netfilter system, also known by the name of the command used to administer it, iptables. The book has an introductory section that describes applications,followed by a reference/encyclopaedic section with all the matches and targets arranged alphabetically.. The iptables interface is the most sophisticated ever offered onLinux and makes Linux an extremely flexible system for any kind of network filtering you might do
Eric G. Johnfelt said Great Book. IPTables can sometimes be a real bear. This book really helps clarify it and it's capabilities. Great guide This book has covered a lot of material on iptables in a well formed and flowing fashion. It had all the info I was looking for . Not even as useful as the man pages I did not realize that this book was going to be so tiny or I would not have ordered it. Save your money and read the man pages instead.
