- IpTables Rope
Rope is a programming language that allows developers to write extensions to the
Iptables /Netfilter components ofLinux using a simple scripting language based onReverse Polish notation .It is a scriptable Iptables match module, used to identify whether IP packets passed to it match a particular set of criteria or not. Rope started life as a project to make the "string" match module of Iptables stronger (
Rope is strong string) and evolved fairly quickly into an open-ended scriptable packet matching mechanism.External links
