Query regarding libnetfilter_queue usage

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

Pardon me for posting on both netfilter and netfilter_devel, because i am unsure of which list would be more appropriate for my question.

I am writing an application using libnetfilter_queue that should perform the following function

- Receives packets from NFQUEUE
- Apply a decryption algorithm to packets
- Issue an ACCEPT verdict for decrypted packets

These packets are destined to another box behind the firewall running the above mentioned application.

Based on Fig 14-1 from the link below
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch14_:_Linux_Firewalls_Using_iptablesI I intend on siphoning out network packets at the PREROUTING chain of the Mangle table by using

iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p 1234 -j NFQUEUE

1) I would like to know if the PREROUTING chain in the mangle table is an appropriate place to pick off the encrypted packets ? 2) Once the ACCEPT verdict is issued will the modified packets resume processing along the PREROUTING chain of the mangle table ? 3) Is there a well documented reference for API's that i will need to use while developing this application ?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Vikram.
