Libipq
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
libipq is a development library for iptables userspace packet queuing. Libipq provides an API for communicating with ip_queue.
Libipq will be replaced by the much cleaner interface of libnetfilter_queue.
[edit] Use in widely used software applications
libipq is used by some widely-deployed applications as their interface to the Linux kernel-space iptables packet filter.
- Snort - Snort is an Intrusion Detection System which runs in user-space and uses libipq to interface with Linux's iptables packet filter.
