Harald Welte has the following useful netfilter-related hacking documents:

Oskar Andreasson has written a step-by-step tutorial on setting up a firewall based on iptables/netfilter. It's available at http://www.BoingWorld.com/workshops/linux/iptables-tutorial/

There is also a copy of the slides of Rusty's LinuxWorld Tutorial online, or a better version contributed by Marcomas at libero.it.

There is also Rusty's tutorial from Xuventude Galicia Net, Santiago, in Magicpoint.

The second (serious) part of Rusty's Random Hacking Talk given in linux.conf.au Australia, La Coruna University Spain, and Aberystwyth Wales. Also in Magicpoint: read the comments for the much more information.


CVS Server
You can access the CVS server in two ways. For casual browsing, you can use the web interface . To grab the latest sources, you can do the following:
  1. Log in to the SAMBA cvs server anonymously:
    cvs -d :pserver:cvs@pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot login
    
  2. When it asks you for a password type `cvs'.
  3. Check out the code using:
    cvs -d :pserver:cvs@pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot co netfilter
    
  4. To update to the latest version, use
    cvs update -d -P
    

Mailing List
Join the netfilter mailing list: see http://us4.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/netfilter for details (thanks Tridge)

This is where all problems and comments should be directed.

There is also a devel list for code questions: http://us4.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/netfilter-devel (thank Tim!)


ipchains
If you're looking for ipchains for the 2.2 kernels, I've moved them to here.
