Finally a new Ipsysctl tutorial (version 1.0.3)
Finally a new version of the Ipsysctl tutorial. This version contains some updates, such as explanation of jiffies, arp_filter and details about icmp_ratemask and ratelimit. The biggest changes however, are the Postscript and PDF formats which are back. I will probably not maintain the PDF format, but since it
magically works again, it is included. There are also a lot of internal changes to the documents that will not show. For a complete listing of all the changes read the <A HREF="http://ipsysctl-tutorial.frozentux.net/ChangeLog">ChangeLog</A>. you will find the document <A HREF="http://ipsysctl-tutorial.frozentux.net/">here</A>.
Iptables tutorial 1.1.18 released!
Filed under: Frozentux.net, Iptables, Linux, Netfilter
This is a fast release with some minor changes and updates. Since I did a reinstall of Debian at home, I was forced to compile the last version on an old redhat installation. Apparently, this created tons of troubles with blackened out images, deep links crashed, and so on. This version contains minor updates of differents sorts as well, and the old deep links should now work again. For a detailed list of the new changes, have have a look at the <A HREF="http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/ChangeLog">ChangeLog</A>. The tutorial is available at <A HREF="http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net">http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net</A>.
Iptables tutorial 1.1.17 released
Filed under: Frozentux.net, Iptables, Linux, Netfilter
The iptables-tutorial has finally been released in a new version. This version contains several minor updates, such as fixed admonition images, spelling errors, garbled programlistings and some variables to cohere with the explanations in the tutorial. This version also adds a prerequisites section, more detailed explanations on how to list rulesets, and some minor explanations.

Miscellany update
Two new scripts added to the miscellany section, just for fun. I will add more later on, which may be a little bit more useful to you. Also, as some of you may have noticed, I have been very quiet for a long time. There are things happening that will take some time more to finish, that will hopefully make people a little bit happy in the future. As some has also noticed, there is the new banner on top of the page which points to a site I am partially related to working on. Hopefully, this will not cause too much of a problem for people:).
Ipsysctl-tutorial 1.0.2 release
This release of the ipsysctl tutorial is unfortunately rather broken in many places, however, I thought I should at least release this version of the document since I will be gone for close to 2 weeks during the christmas holidays. Not a lot of new material has been added, but a lot of minor fixes all over the document has been made. The main problems at this moment, is that the PostScript output is broken. I will work on this as soon as I get back.
Iptables-tutorial 1.1.16 release
Filed under: Frozentux.net, Iptables, Linux, Netfilter
This version of the iptables tutorial contains only minor updates and changes, mainly to assist and help those who mirror the tutorial. Unfortunately, large parts of the mirroring process was broken when I moved from developing on Red Hat to Debian. Because of that, the tutorial has now gotten a complete separate set of stylesheets and catalogs. Also, some minor fixes to parts of the scripts etc.
Iptables-tutorial 1.1.15 release
Filed under: Frozentux.net, Iptables, Linux, Netfilter
Version 1.1.15 of the iptables-tutorial fixes a lot of old spelling mistakes, as well as a lot of other minor bugs. The biggest change is that the save and restore chapter was now added properly to the tutorial, and can be read. This was previously forgotten, but should no longer cause any problems. Specific thanks go out to Robert P. J. Day and Otto Matejka for their help on various problems.
