Helloo list,

I am new here. 
I am working on a firewall, as an LKM on 2.4.22
kernel. (still stateless filtering) at the network
layer + i have the following features in it.
-> shellcode filtering ( very basic)
-> snort rules supports.( alil proggie to convert
those rules to my firewall rules)
-> HTTP request control method.
-> Anti -( XSS and SQL Injection) measures.

just the imp ones.....as ur sites says keep the mails
short.

i am using netfilter hooks only.
is there a way i can limit the no of connections per
second per ip using certail iptable or netfilter
modules.
i was unable to find any documentation on it.

As my firewall is stateless, if i want to implement,
firstly i will have to make it stateful filtering and
then add the code to get the job done...so i was
looking for something which can same my work.

any guidance in the regard will prove a great help.

thx in advanve to everyone.

ND
