Linux’s Netfilter system, also known as iptables, provides firewalls, Network Address Translation (NAT), network logging, and accounting. iptables is the most advanced interface ever offered on Linux, making the system highly flexible for any network filtering. Large sets of filtering rules can be consolidated in ways that make it easy to test and enable or disable them. Do you monitor all types of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) traffic, including the dangerous ones? Can you utilize stateful filtering to manage Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections easily? Would you like to track the volume of various types of traffic on your network?

This pocket reference is designed to assist you in those critical moments when you need to quickly enable or disable a port, whether to permit important traffic or to prevent an attack. The book will assist you in understanding the subtle syntax and help you remember all the values to input to secure your network. It has an introductory section on applications, followed by an alphabetical reference/encyclopedia section that outlines all the matches and targets.
