Top 10 reasons IPTABLES is better than PF:
10. Parsing IPTABLES config files excellent
preparation for subsequent
learning of Asian pictograph-based languages.
9. Standard logging via syslogd helps eliminate
clutter in /var/log.
8. GPL prevents Steve Jobs from stealing your code.
7. Simplistic man pages encourage development of
social skills via mailing
lists.
6. Multiple distributions, versions, kernels, modules,
plugins, etc. keep
hackers confused as to exactly what they're attacking.
5. "Mangle" just sounds so much more 133+ than
"Scrub".
4. Complexity of structure leads to more opportunities
for obfuscation and
subsequent job security.
3. New and experimental kernel modules make life
exciting again.
2. GUI and Web based utilities mean that anyone can
set one up without knowing
what they're doing.
And the number one reason IPTABLES is better than PF:
1. No distracting arguments about whether to port it
to OpenBSD.
