Hi all,

Could anybody let me know what actual difference the targets NF_DROP and
NF_STOLEN make to the kernel? As far as I know, both of them tell the kernel
to forget the packet. In "Linux netfilter Hacking HOWTO", it says NF_DROP
tells netfilter to drop the packet, and NF_STOLEN tells netfilter that the
registered module has taken over the packet. I don't fully understand what
the module can do to the packet by taking over it and how.

Can anyone be kind enough to explain this or show me an example that a
module takes over packets and does something to them?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Regards,
Jee
