Yes, the JNetFilter wrapper already uses the libipt_XXX.so plugins to interface to the matches and targets. For example, it uses libipt_udp.so to interface with the udp match. Several of the matches and targets are presently implemented (udp, tcp, icmp, state, limit, STANDARD, LOG and REJECT). > This has been detected as a problem, and iptables2 with libiptables will > provide a different, high-level API. But this is future stuff.. Hmm, unfortunately that will break JNetFilter.
