As I see flter table cant do anthing usefull, 99% of modules are for mangle
and nat tables.
also dropping packets at input or forward is useless,
because conntrack will kill the atacked machine anyway.
I think it would be good idea to merge raw and filter tables into one
or add all available hooks to filter table, like prerouting and postrouting
I dont undertand what was the original purpose of filter table
since everyhing can be done in mangle table even better.
