Mastering Iptable Command Line Usage Linux Networking

By
Some of the most useful commands related to iptable,


  1. To display filter table rules.
    2. #iptables -t filter -L

  2. To display nat table rules.
    3. #iptables -t nat -L

  3. To display raw table rules
    4. #iptables -t raw -L

  4. To display mangle table rules.
    5. #iptables -t mangle -L


    To delete all rules in the filter,nat,raw and mangle table.
    #iptables -t filter -D
    #iptables -t nat -D
    #iptables -t raw -D
    #iptables -t mangle -D

    Set up IP FORWARDing and Masquerading
    # iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface eth0 -j MASQUERADE
    The above rule will do source nating.
    ( It will set eth0 IP address as source address for all outgoing packets on interface eth0.)
    # iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth1 -j ACCEPT

Port forwading
# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -d --dport -j DNAT --to
The above rule will change the destinationIP:portnumber of the incoming packet to private.IP:portnum
Enabing the packet forward in the kernel with proc entry.
#echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward


iptables is a user space application program that allows a system administrator to configure the tables provided by the Linux kernel firewall (implemented as different Netfilter modules) and the chains and rules it stores. Different kernel modules and programs are currently used for different protocols; iptables applies to IPv4, ip6tables to IPv6, arptables to ARP, and ebtables as a special for Ethernet frames.

Remote debugging for ARM target board

By
Remote debugging for ARM target board With GDB one can both trace and modify code and data flow, and otherwise analyze the behavior of code, without explicitly changing any of it. Rather than run a full-blown instance of GDB on the target platform, you can use GDBserver , a program that lets you run GDB on a different machine than the one on which your program is running. The advantage of using GDBserver is that it needs just a fraction of the target resources that GDB consumes, because it implements only the low-level functionality of the debugger -- namely setting breakpoints and accessing the target processor registers and read/write application memory. GDBserver takes control of the application being debugged, and then waits for instructions from a remote instance of GDB running on a development workstation. Remote target needs to have debugging stub (gdbserver), The gdbserver is also referred to as the 'stub' and must be cross-compiled for that targ...
