I am looking for something that I am not sure currently exists. Basically I want to make a version of netfilter that's free from all the kernel-level and networking stack hooks. I am looking for a plain simpler version of netfilter which does not interact with the kernel or the networking stack in any way. It would be a standard user program which a person with normal privelges could compile and run. What would it do? It could do the same things that netfilter does...i.e. filter packets/NAT etc. However the input could be driven from a "main" function which "fakes" packets arriving on the network (this could be driven from a trace). Does such a thing exist? How easy/difficult would it be to hack into the current netfilter code to remove all the networking/kernel hooks it has? Could someone guide me as to how exactly to go about doing this? i.e. where the hooks are..in the code? Sorry for too many questions! :| Cheers!
