August meeting topic is iptables

The next CPLUG meeting is Tuesday, August 9, 2011 at 6:30 PM at ITT in Harrisburg. This month, Nathan will be presenting a gentle introduction to Linux iptables. What’s iptables you ask?

Quoth Wikipedia: “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 for Ethernet frames.”

It’ll be a good talk for both users new to Linux and users who’ve been using it for a while.

Details on the Meetings page. See you then!
