832 depends on NF_CONNTRACK
833 depends on IP_NF_RAW || IP6_NF_RAW
834 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
836 This options adds a `CT' target, which allows to specify initial
837 connection tracking parameters like events to be delivered and
838 the helper to be used.
840 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
842 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_DSCP
843 tristate '"DSCP" and "TOS" target support'
844 depends on IP_NF_MANGLE || IP6_NF_MANGLE
845 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
847 This option adds a `DSCP' target, which allows you to manipulate
848 the IPv4/IPv6 header DSCP field (differentiated services codepoint).
850 The DSCP field can have any value between 0x0 and 0x3f inclusive.
852 It also adds the "TOS" target, which allows you to create rules in
853 the "mangle" table which alter the Type Of Service field of an IPv4
854 or the Priority field of an IPv6 packet, prior to routing.
856 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
858 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HL
859 tristate '"HL" hoplimit target support'
860 depends on IP_NF_MANGLE || IP6_NF_MANGLE
861 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
863 This option adds the "HL" (for IPv6) and "TTL" (for IPv4)
864 targets, which enable the user to change the
865 hoplimit/time-to-live value of the IP header.
867 While it is safe to decrement the hoplimit/TTL value, the
868 modules also allow to increment and set the hoplimit value of
869 the header to arbitrary values. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
870 since you can easily create immortal packets that loop
871 forever on the network.

874 tristate '"HMARK" target support'
875 depends on IP6_NF_IPTABLES || IP6_NF_IPTABLES=n
876 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
878 This option adds the "HMARK" target.
880 The target allows you to create rules in the "raw" and "mangle" tables
881 which set the skbuff mark by means of hash calculation within a given
882 range. The nfmark can influence the routing method and can also be used
883 by other subsystems to change their behaviour.
885 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
887 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_IDLETIMER
888 tristate "IDLETIMER target support"
889 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
892 This option adds the `IDLETIMER' target. Each matching packet
893 resets the timer associated with label specified when the rule is
894 added. When the timer expires, it triggers a sysfs notification.
895 The remaining time for expiration can be read via sysfs.
897 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

902 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
904 This option adds a `LED' target, which allows you to blink LEDs in
905 response to particular packets passing through your machine.
907 This can be used to turn a spare LED into a network activity LED,
908 which only flashes in response to FTP transfers, for example. Or
909 you could have an LED which lights up for a minute or two every time
910 somebody connects to your machine via SSH.
912 You will need support for the "led" class to make this work.
914 To create an LED trigger for incoming SSH traffic:
915 iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j LED --led-trigger-id ssh --led-delay 1000
917 Then attach the new trigger to an LED on your system:
918 echo netfilter-ssh > /sys/class/leds/<ledname>/trigger
920 For more information on the LEDs available on your system, see
921 Documentation/leds/leds-class.rst

1001 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_REDIRECT
1002 tristate "REDIRECT target support"
1004 select NF_NAT_REDIRECT
1006 REDIRECT is a special case of NAT: all incoming connections are
1007 mapped onto the incoming interface's address, causing the packets to
1008 come to the local machine instead of passing through. This is
1009 useful for transparent proxies.
1011 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1013 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_MASQUERADE
1014 tristate "MASQUERADE target support"
1016 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
1017 select NF_NAT_MASQUERADE
1019 Masquerading is a special case of NAT: all outgoing connections are
1020 changed to seem to come from a particular interface's address, and
1021 if the interface goes down, those connections are lost. This is
1022 only useful for dialup accounts with dynamic IP address (ie. your IP
1023 address will be different on next dialup).

1048 select NF_TPROXY_IPV4
1049 select NF_TPROXY_IPV6 if IP6_NF_IPTABLES
1051 This option adds a `TPROXY' target, which is somewhat similar to
1052 REDIRECT. It can only be used in the mangle table and is useful
1053 to redirect traffic to a transparent proxy. It does _not_ depend
1054 on Netfilter connection tracking and NAT, unlike REDIRECT.
1055 For it to work you will have to configure certain iptables rules
1056 and use policy routing. For more information on how to set it up

1514 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_RECENT
1515 tristate '"recent" match support'
1516 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1518 This match is used for creating one or many lists of recently
1519 used addresses and then matching against that/those list(s).
1521 Short options are available by using 'iptables -m recent -h'

1524 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_SCTP
1525 tristate '"sctp" protocol match support'
1526 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1529 With this option enabled, you will be able to use the
1530 `sctp' match in order to match on SCTP source/destination ports
1531 and SCTP chunk types.

1543 select NF_SOCKET_IPV6 if IP6_NF_IPTABLES
1544 select NF_DEFRAG_IPV4
1545 select NF_DEFRAG_IPV6 if IP6_NF_IPTABLES != n
1547 This option adds a `socket' match, which can be used to match
1548 packets for which a TCP or UDP socket lookup finds a valid socket.
1549 It can be used in combination with the MARK target and policy
1550 routing to implement full featured non-locally bound sockets.
1552 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1554 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STATE
1555 tristate '"state" match support'
1556 depends on NF_CONNTRACK
1557 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
1559 Connection state matching allows you to match packets based on their
1560 relationship to a tracked connection (ie. previous packets). This
1561 is a powerful tool for packet classification.
1563 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1565 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STATISTIC
1566 tristate '"statistic" match support'
1567 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1569 This option adds a `statistic' match, which allows you to match
1570 on packets periodically or randomly with a given percentage.
1572 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1574 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STRING
1575 tristate '"string" match support'
1576 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1578 select TEXTSEARCH_KMP
1579 select TEXTSEARCH_BM
1580 select TEXTSEARCH_FSM
1582 This option adds a `string' match, which allows you to look for
1583 pattern matchings in packets.
1585 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1587 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_TCPMSS
1588 tristate '"tcpmss" match support'
1589 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1591 This option adds a `tcpmss' match, which allows you to examine the
1592 MSS value of TCP SYN packets, which control the maximum packet size
1593 for that connection.
1595 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1597 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_TIME
1598 tristate '"time" match support'
1599 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1601 This option adds a "time" match, which allows you to match based on
1602 the packet arrival time (at the machine which netfilter is running)
1603 on) or departure time/date (for locally generated packets).
1605 If you say Y here, try `iptables -m time --help` for

1611 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_U32
1612 tristate '"u32" match support'
1613 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1615 u32 allows you to extract quantities of up to 4 bytes from a packet,
1616 AND them with specified masks, shift them by specified amounts and
1617 test whether the results are in any of a set of specified ranges.
1618 The specification of what to extract is general enough to skip over
1619 headers with lengths stored in the packet, as in IP or TCP header
