Hello everybody,
I'm new to iptables.
I know the basic command of iptables and how it works.
I have to develop a program that interface with Iptables but for security
reason I'm canno use system call System(iptables command).
I have try to find out a better way but I didn't find nothing.
Someone there can show me how can I interact with iptables withou system
call "System etc. etc." ??
Thansk for all
Iacopo
