Check the source code. After checking the source code, I can see that the two principals hooks are on these chain. /* Connection tracking may drop packets, but never alters them, so make it the first hook. */ static struct nf_hook_ops ip_conntrack_in_ops = { .hook = ip_conntrack_in, .owner = THIS_MODULE, .pf = PF_INET, .hooknum = NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING, .priority = NF_IP_PRI_CONNTRACK, }; static struct nf_hook_ops ip_conntrack_local_out_ops = { .hook = ip_conntrack_local, .owner = THIS_MODULE, .pf = PF_INET, .hooknum = NF_IP_LOCAL_OUT, .priority = NF_IP_PRI_CONNTRACK, }; Now, I can't really bet these hooks are on the nat table but conntrack and nat are very related. I get the information here : http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/chunkyhtml/statemachine.html There's another explanation here : http://www.sns.ias.edu/~jns/security/iptables/iptables_conntrack.html If I'm wrong, I want to have a proof... > > > Btw Iptables for IPv6 doesn't have any conntrack for the moment ;-). > > There is an experimental code which you can find in the mailing list > archives.
