* nft: xtables: add the infrastructure to translate from iptables to nftPablo Neira Ayuso2016-02-161-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides the infrastructure and two new utilities to translate iptables commands to nft, they are: 1) iptables-restore-translate which basically takes a file that contains the ruleset in iptables-restore format and converts it to the nft syntax, eg. % iptables-restore-translate -f ipt-ruleset > nft-ruleset % cat nft-ruleset # Translated by iptables-restore-translate v1.4.21 on Mon Apr 14 12:18:14 2014 add table ip filter add chain ip filter INPUT { type filter hook input priority 0; } add chain ip filter FORWARD { type filter hook forward priority 0; } add chain ip filter OUTPUT { type filter hook output priority 0; } add rule ip filter INPUT iifname lo counter accept # -t filter -A INPUT -m state --state INVALID -j LOG --log-prefix invalid: ... The rules that cannot be translated are left commented. Users should be able to run this to track down the nft progress to see at what point it can fully replace iptables and their filtering policy. 2) iptables-translate which suggests a translation for an iptables command: $ iptables-translate -I OUTPUT -p udp -d 8.8.8.8 -j ACCEPT nft add rule filter OUTPUT ip protocol udp ip dst 8.8.8.8 counter accept Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* iptables-compat: Keep xtables-config and xtables-events out from treePablo Neira Ayuso2015-11-111-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | These binaries are part of the compat layer, however they provide more features than actually available in the existing native iptables binaries. So let's keep them out from the tree before the 1.6.0 release as we only want to provide compatibility utils at this stage. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* nft: bootstrap ebtables-compatPablo Neira Ayuso2014-11-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch bootstraps ebtables-compat, the ebtables compatibility software upon nf_tables. [ Original patches: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/395544/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/395545/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/395546/ I have also forward port them on top of the current git HEAD, otherwise compilation breaks. This bootstrap is experimental, this still needs more work. --Pablo ] Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Longo <giuseppelng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* xtables: add xtables-compat-multi for the nftables compatibility layerPablo Neira Ayuso2014-02-041-0/+39
This patch should allow distributors to switch to the iptables over nftables compatibility layer in a transparent way by updating symbolic links from: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 feb 4 15:35 iptables -> xtables-multi to: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 feb 4 15:35 iptables -> xtables-compat-multi Same thing with iptables-save, iptables-restore, ip6tables, ip6tables-save, ip6tables-restore and arptables. Note that, after this patch, the following new symlinks are installed: * iptables-compat * iptables-compat-save * iptables-compat-restore * ip6tables-compat * ip6tables-compat-save * ip6tables-compat-restore * arptables-compat which point to the new binary xtables-compat-multi. The idea is to keep both native and compatibility tools installed in the system, which should also make it easier for testing purposes. The iptables over nftables compatibility layer is enabled by default and it requires the libmnl and libnftnl libraries. If you don't want to compile the compatibility layer, you can still disable it through --disable-nftables. This patch also includes changes to adapt the existing code to this approach.
