Subject: ANNOUNCE: Rope 20041121b - IpTables match module scripting language

ROPE is a match module for Linux iptables / Netfilter. It allows packet 
matching  criteria to be written using a simple scripting language which 
is executed in and by the Linux kernel.

It is available under the GPL from http://www.lowth.com/rope. The 
current version should be considered experimental; dont deploy on 
mission-critical systems, but please feel free to download, explore and 
feedback.

An example :- a rule that limits the size of pages downloaded over HTTP 
based on the Content-Length header could prevent long downloads before 
they even start. Here's a simple ROPE script to provide this logic...

   $tcp_source 80 eq assert            # check it's HTTP
   expecti_to( "Content-Length: " )    # find the header
   expect_while({isdigit}) put($n)     # lift the length value
   if( atoi($n) 1000000 gt { yes } )   # match: if too long
   no                                  # dont match: if not

If this script is stored as "contlen.rope", then it is installed into an 
Iptables chain using a command like.

   iptables -A FORWARD -m rope --script contlen -j DROP

For more information (including a more thorough version of the example 
script), please refer to:
