Thanks for the help. I decided to use the netlink socket to receive message that the firewall (iptables) have queued for the user. But i still have the problem that i can read anything from the netlink socket i've opened. Following configuration was performed: - I have loaded the modules ip_queue.o, iptable_filter.o and ip_tables.o. - iptables -I INPUT 1 -p icmp -j QUEUE ( At the command line, for queueing all incoming ICMP packet). A sample code: int main(int argc, char** argv) { int sockfd; unsigned char *buffer; struct cmsghdr cmsg; struct iovec iov; struct sockaddr_nl nladdr={ nl_family:AF_NETLINK }; struct msghdr msg = { (void *)&nladdr, sizeof(nladdr), &iov, 1, NULL, 1024, 0}; if ((sockfd = socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM,NETLINK_FIREWALL)) < 0) { perror("netlink socket"); return -1; } if (recvmsg(sockfd, &msg, 0) < 0) { perror("recvmsg"); return -1; } close(sockfd); return 0; } I receive nothing in the netlink socket. Why ?
