HI Guys,
I'm a Newbie to Linux Kernel Development. Need some Clarification in understanding Net-Filter Hooks.
Can I register only for the Necessary Packets [Ex: IPSEC etc...] from the Net-Filters?? AFAIK ; Net-Filter Module send the Packets to the Corresponding Module based on pre-defined HOOKS. Let us say; there are Many Packets reaching that Hooks; and if I am Interested only in some Packets from Net-Filter module; can I do that ??? something like: iptables [some rules] -j ULOG ?
Check "man iptables" and see if that suits your need. FYI ULOG target uses netlink to deliver the packet to user space for further processing.
Hi Kesava Srinivas, If this is for any application in user space, I would recommend you take a look at libPcap.
Regards, Abhijit Pawar Why don't you check for the type of the received packet ( taken from the queue) in your hook function and process it if matches your requirement else just return NF_ACCEPT so that it is processed by other hooks.
