-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Dhruv, Using iptables/Netfilter for this is the wrong idea for sure. It breaks the TCP connection, leaving both ends hanging. It is also very susceptible to false positives. You want a real content filter. I use DansGuardian (http://www.dansguardian.org/) with DansGuardian Antivirus (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dgav/) and ClamAV (http://www.clamav.net/) and am happy. The setup is not the easiest, but the product works well. Please note that DansGuardian is free for non-commercial use, but requires an inexpensive license for businesses. Read the licence if in doubt. -& Soi, Dhruv wrote: > Is anyone aware of such firewall in linux. I have used ipcop, iptables, shorewall and have read that applying netfilter patch to kernel for HEX search can provide such capability.
