LinuxSecurity.com: Oskar Andreasson IP Tables Tutorial

[ Thanks to LinuxSecurity Contributors for this link. ]

LinuxSecurity.com: Who are your target audience and why?

Oskar Andreasson: Tricky question, I don't know really. At the beginning it was mainly aimed at the beginners and novices of iptables and who had a little bit of experience with TCP/IP networking as well as Linux basics. I still think the tutorial is aimed at those, but it contains more information today about the advanced functions of netfilter and iptables so it might be fairly well suited for the advanced users as well who might find some interesting reads in the tutorial.

Of course, the tutorial also aims at the security interested people out there and anyone who might be interested in setting up a local network with Internet access.
