Help!! How to steal UDP traffic?

[Guilherme Cesar Soares Ruppert <ruppert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi everyone, please I need some help!!

 I'm developing a program that needs to intercept an UDP traffic generated
 locally by another application. It's like a tunnel. My program will steal the
 outgoing packets from the application (in the same machine) and will send to
 a tcp tunnel.

 I am using Libipq to do that, but I have a BIG problem. After send the UDP
 packets to my tunnel, I need to DROP the packets because I don't want them to
 be sent over the network. So I am doing:
 ipq_set_verdict(handle, m->packet_id, NF_DROP, 0, NULL);

 But the problem is that when I drop the packet, the application that
 generated the packet remains blocked in sendto() until the packet is
 accepted. When I change to NF_ACCEPT, the application doesn't block but the
 packets are sent to the network and I don't want it.

 How could I drop a packet silently, without blocking the application? Is
 there any way to intercept outgoing packets locally without let the
 applications notice that their packet were stolen?

 Here is the same example using netcat:
 $ iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp -j QUEUE
 $ echo "Test" | nc -n -u 10.1.1.23 800
 And this last remains blocked, not returning to shell.

 I tested will ping (icmp echo) also and the same happened, but ping didn't
 block. Instead, it said "operation not permitted".

 Please give me some hope!!! :-)

 Thanks
