Hi, I'm trying to develop a firewall for Android using the sdk, and I understand the only way to do so using java and without modifying Android itself is through iptables. There are some old comments in this group that claim that iptables is no included in Android, but after the release of the code, I checked and iptables is included among the projects used in Andoid (maybe it has been a latter addition). Therefore I assume that it can be used in Android.
My code tries to execute commands using a java Process, and so far it seems to work,since I've been able to do an "ls", for example. But when I use iptables I don't receive any result(after trying to block all traffic I can still use the browser), or any error on the outputs (I've checke both standard and error output). I don't know if that's caused because I'm not using the command correctly, or because of a lack of permissions, or because of the absence of iptables among Android commands. Does anyone have an idea about the reason for this? (I mean, if someone knows for sure that iptables is not included, or that is included but can only be used as an administrator, or any other reason that is clearly preventing this from working...if there's no apparent reason for it not to work, then I'll asume it's an error on my code or in the command I'm trying to execute) The commands I'm trying to use are: iptables -F iptables -X iptables -Z iptables -t nat -F iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P OUTPUT DROP in order to block all traffic, and therefore see if it's working or not in an easy way.
