238 of a server. DCC Sending is used anywhere you send files over IRC,
239 and DCC Chat is most commonly used by Eggdrop bots. If you are
240 using NAT, this extension will enable you to send files and initiate
241 chats. Note that you do NOT need this extension to get files or

818 This option adds a `LED' target, which allows you to blink LEDs in
819 response to particular packets passing through your machine.
821 This can be used to turn a spare LED into a network activity LED,
822 which only flashes in response to FTP transfers, for example. Or
823 you could have an LED which lights up for a minute or two every time
824 somebody connects to your machine via SSH.
826 You will need support for the "led" class to make this work.
828 To create an LED trigger for incoming SSH traffic:
829 iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j LED --led-trigger-id ssh --led-delay 1000
831 Then attach the new trigger to an LED on your system:
832 echo netfilter-ssh > /sys/class/leds/<ledname>/trigger
834 For more information on the LEDs available on your system, see
835 Documentation/leds/leds-class.txt

950 to redirect traffic to a transparent proxy. It does _not_ depend
951 on Netfilter connection tracking and NAT, unlike REDIRECT.
952 For it to work you will have to configure certain iptables rules
953 and use policy routing. For more information on how to set it up

1477 This option adds a `string' match, which allows you to look for
1478 pattern matchings in packets.
1480 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1482 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_TCPMSS
1483 tristate '"tcpmss" match support'
1484 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1486 This option adds a `tcpmss' match, which allows you to examine the
1487 MSS value of TCP SYN packets, which control the maximum packet size
1488 for that connection.
1490 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1492 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_TIME
1493 tristate '"time" match support'
1494 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1496 This option adds a "time" match, which allows you to match based on
1497 the packet arrival time (at the machine which netfilter is running)
1498 on) or departure time/date (for locally generated packets).
1500 If you say Y here, try `iptables -m time --help` for
1503 If you want to compile it as a module, say M here.
1506 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_U32
1507 tristate '"u32" match support'
1508 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1510 u32 allows you to extract quantities of up to 4 bytes from a packet,
1511 AND them with specified masks, shift them by specified amounts and
1512 test whether the results are in any of a set of specified ranges.
1513 The specification of what to extract is general enough to skip over
1514 headers with lengths stored in the packet, as in IP or TCP header
1517 Details and examples are in the kernel module source.
