lowercase Image L7 filter logo.png thumb l7 filter logo l7 filter is a software package which provides a classifier for Linux s Netfilter subsystem which can categorize Internet Protocol packets based on their application layer data. The major goal of this tool is to make possible the identification of peer to peer programs, which use unpredictable port numbers. There are two versions for this software. the first is implemented as a kernel module for Linux 2.4 and 2.6. The second experimental version was released in December 2006 which runs as a user space program and relies on netfiler s user space libraries for the classification process. Both versions of l7 filter use regular expression s though the user space and kernel modules use different regular expression libraries to identify the network protocol. This technique, used in conjunction with Linux s quality of service QoS system, allows application specific yet port independent traffic shaping.

FireHOL is a firewall networking firewall application designed to work with a lower level firewall utility for the Linux kernel, netfilter iptables . FireHOL does not use a GUI , but is configured through an easy to understand plain text configuration file. A further advantage of FireHOL is its friendliness to beginners you don t have to worry about the answer packet because FireHOL first parses the configuration file and then sets the appropriate iptables rules to achieve the expected firewall behavior. It is a large, complex Bash Unix shell BASH script file, depending on the iptables console tools rather than communicating with the kernel directly. This has the advantage of portability any Linux system with iptables, BASH, and the appropriate tools can run it. Its main drawback is slower starting times, particularly on older systems. Since this delay only happens once per boot or less, if the resulting rules are saved to disk high performance for this is not generally important except in embedded systems. FireHOL also benefits from the shell s flexibility, being easily extended and configured to a high degree FireHOL s configuration files are fully functional BASH scripts in of themselves. You can write scripts in normal shell syntax and they will operate as expected you might loop a FireHOL statement to forward an entire set of ports, for example.

The evil bit is a fictional IPv4 header information technology packet header field proposed in RFC 3514, a humorous April Fools Day RFC from 2003 authored by Steven M. Bellovin Steve Bellovin . The Request for Comments RFC recommended that the last remaining unused bit in the IPv4 packet header be used to indicate whether a packet had been sent with malicious intent, thus making computer security engineering an easy problem simply ignore any messages with the evil bit set. Influence The evil bit has become a synonym for all attempts to seek simple technical solutions for difficult human social problems, in particular efforts to implement Internet censorship using simple technical solutions. The evil bit also became a noteworthy in joke in Slashdot . News about the publication of this RFC was posted in Slashdot dozens of times, reworded each time, among other April Fools Day April Fools stories, poking humour at the common criticism of Slashdot often posting duplicate stories.
