Hi list,
I noticed ik has started a project to manipulate Linux iptables firewall
rules... which got me thinking.
Is there any FreePascal/Delphi code lying around to parse IPtables log
output (e.g. in the /var/log/messages syslog file), e.g. into CSV format?
Not when I last looked, but that wasn't recent. I presume you're aware
of logging via ulogd, which at least helps split things out a bit.
One marginally-related thing is visualising iptables' connection
tracking using Doomcube, that could be improved enormously using an
Elite-style display.
[Grumble] Command-line handling of iptables can be irritating since
setting up a rule doesn't give you a unique tag you can use to delete
it. I've had a situation in the past where I no longer knew the
addresses etc. when it came to tearing a rule down, which caused problems.
