概述
Netfilter为多种网络协议（IPv4、IPv6、ARP等）各提供了一套钩子函数。
在IPv4中定义了5个钩子函数，这些钩子函数在数据包流经协议栈的5个关键点被调用。
这就像有5个钓鱼台，在每个钓鱼台放了一个鱼钩(钩子函数)，把经过的数据包钓上来，
然后根据自定义的规则，来决定数据包的命运：
可以原封不动的放回IPv4协议，继续向上层递交；可以进行修改，再放回IPv4协议；也可以直接丢弃。
Netfilter主要采用连接跟踪(Connection Tracking)、包过滤(Packet Filtering)、地址转换(NAT)、包处理
(Packet Mangling)四种技术。
(1) IP层的5个钓鱼台
enum nf_inet_hooks {
NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING,
NF_INET_LOCAL_IN,
NF_INET_FORWARD,
NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT,
NF_INET_POST_ROUTING,
NF_INET_NUMHOOKS
};
支持的协议类型：
enum {
NFPROTO_UNSPEC = 0,
NFPROTO_IPV4 = 2,
NFPROTO_ARP = 3,
NFPROTO_BRIDGE = 7,
NFPROTO_IPV6 = 10,
NFPROTO_DECNET = 12,
NFPROTO_NUMPROTO,
};
(2) 钩子函数
typedef unsigned int nf_hookfn(unsigned int hooknum,
struct sk_buff *skb,
const struct net_device *in,
const struct net_device *out,
int (*okfn) (struct sk_buff *)); /* 处理函数返回值 */
#define NF_DROP 0 /* drop the packet, don't continue traversal */
#define NF_ACCEPT 1 /* continue traversal as normal */
#define NF_STOLEN 2 /* I've taken over the packet, don't continue traversal */
#define NF_QUEUE 3 /* queue the packet (usually for userspace handling) */
#define NF_REPEAT 4 /* call this hook again */
#define NF_STOP 5
#define NF_MAX_VERDICT NF_STOP
(3) Netfilter实体
在使用Netfilter时，需要定义一个nf_hook_ops实例。
struct nf_hook_ops {
struct list_head list;
/* User fills in from here down. */
nf_hookfn *hook; /* 要注册的钩子函数 */
struct module *owner;
u_int8_t pf; /* 协议类型 */
unsigned int hooknum; /* 哪个钓鱼台 */
/* Hooks are ordered in asending priority. */
int priority; /* 数值越小，优先级越高 */
};
typedef __u8 u_int8_t;
(4) 注册与注销
/* Functions to register/unregister hook points. */
int nf_register_hook(struct nf_hook_ops *reg);
void nf_unregister_hook(struct nf_hook_ops *reg);
实现
Netfilter定义了一个全局链表：
struct list_head nf_hooks[NFPROTO_NUMPROTO][NF_MAX_HOOKS];
EXPORT_SYMBOL(nf_hooks);
static DEFINE_MUTEX(nf_hook_mutex);
(1) 注册函数
注册函数会把nf_hook_ops放入nf_hooks相应的位置中。
int nf_register_hook(struct nf_hook_ops *reg)
{
struct nf_hook_ops *elem;
int err; err = mutex_lock_interruptible(&nf_hook_mutex);
if (err < 0)
return err; list_for_each_entry(elem, &nf_hooks[reg->pf][reg->hooknum], list) {
if (reg->priority < elem->priority)
break;
} list_add_rcu(®->list, elem->list.prev); /* 把netfilter实例添加到队列中 */
mutex_unlock(&nf_hook_mutex);
return 0;
}
(2) 注销函数
void nf_unregister_hook(struct nf_hook_ops *reg)
{
mutex_lock(&nf_hook_mutex);
list_del_rcu(®->list); /* 把netfilter实例从队列中删除 */
mutex_unlock(&nf_hook_mutex);
synchronize_net();
}
(3) 内核接口
内核的Netfilter钩子函数调用：
NF_HOOK
|--> NF_HOOK_THRESH
|--> nf_hook_thresh
|--> nf_hook_slow
|--> nf_iterate
static inline int NF_HOOK(uint8_t pf, unsigned int hook, struct sk_buff *skb,
struct net_device *in, struct net_device *out, int (*okfn)(struct sk_buff *))
{
/* INT_MIN表示要调用钓鱼台的所有钩子函数 */
return NF_HOOK_THRESH(pf, hook, skb, in, out, okfn, INT_MIN);
} static inline int NF_HOOK_THRESH(uint8_t pf, unsigned int hook, struct sk_buff *skb,
struct net_device *in, struct net_device *out, int (*okfn)(struct sk_buff *), int thresh)
{
int ret = nf_hook_thresh(pf, hook, skb, in, out, okfn, thresh);
if (ret == 1)
ret = okfn(skb); /* 如果skb没被处理掉，调用此函数 */ return ret;
}
/**
* nf_hook_thresh - call a netfilter hook
* Returns 1 if the hook has allowed the packet to pass.
* The function okfn must be invoked by the caller in this case.
* Any other return value indicates the packet has been consumed by the hook.
*/
static inline int nf_hook_thresh(u_int8_t pf, unsigned int hook, struct sk_buff *skb,
struct net_device *indev, struct net_device *outdev, int (*okfn)(struct sk_buff *), int thresh)
{
#ifndef CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG
/* 如果协议pf的hook点上没有已注册的nf_hook_ops实例，直接返回1 */
if (list_empty(&nf_hooks[pf][hook]))
return 1;
#endif return nf_hook_slow(pf, hook, skb, indev, outdev, okfn, thresh);
} /* Returns 1 if okfn() needs to be executed by the caller, -EPERM for NF_DROP, 0 otherwise. */
int nf_hook_slow(u_int8_t pf, unsigned int hook, struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *indev,
struct net_device *outdev, int (*okfn)(struct sk_buff *), int hook_thresh)
{
struct list_head *elem;
unsigned int verdict;
int ret = 0; /* We may already have this, but read-locks nest anyway */
rcu_read_lock(); elem = &nf_hooks[pf][hook];
next_hook:
verdict = nf_iterate(&nf_hooks[pf][hook], skb, hook, indev, outdev, &elem, okfn, hook_thresh); if (verdict == NF_ACCEPT || verdict == NF_STOP) {
ret = 1;
} else if (verdict == NF_DROP) {
kfree_skb(skb);
ret = -EPERM;
} else if ((verdict & NF_VERDICT_MASK) == NF_QUEUE) {
if (! nf_queue(skb, elem, ph, hook, indev, outdev, okfn, verdict >> NF_VERDICT_BITS))
goto next_hook;
} rcu_read_unlock(); return ret;
}
unsigned int nf_iterate(struct list_head *head, struct sk_buff *skb, unsigned int hook,
const struct net_device *indev, const struct net_device *outdev, struct list_head **i,
int (*okfn)(struct sk_buff *), int hook_thresh)
{
unsigned int verdict; /*
* The caller must not block between calls to this function because of risk of
* continuing from deleted element.
*/
list_for_each_continue_rcu(*i, head) {
struct nf_hook_ops *elem = (struct nf_hook_ops *) *i; /* 优先级>=hook_thresh的都会被执行 */
if (hook_thresh > elem_priority)
continue; verdict = elem->hook(hook, skb, indev, outdev, okfn); /* 已注册的执行函数 */ if (verdict != NF_ACCEPT) {
#ifdef CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG
if (unlikely((verdict & NF_VERDICT_MASK) > NF_MAX_VERDICT)) {
NFDEBUG("Evil return from %p(%u).\n", elem->hook, hook);
continue;
}
#endif if (verdict != NF_REPEAT)
return verdict;
*i = (*i)->prev;
}
} return NF_ACCEPT;
}
使用
以下是一个简单的模块，加载到一个HTTP服务器上。
通过在PRE_ROUTING处注册my_hookfn，改变接收数据包的源IP为8.8.8.8（Google DNS server）。
当客户端向服务器发送一个请求时，肯定收不到服务器的响应：）

#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/netfilter_ipv4.h>
#include <linux/ip.h>
#include <linux/inet.h> /**
* Hook function to be called.
* We modify the packet's src IP.
*/
unsigned int my_hookfn(unsigned int hooknum,
struct sk_buff *skb,
const struct net_device *in,
const struct net_device *out,
int (*okfn)(struct sk_buff *))
{
struct iphdr *iph;
iph = ip_hdr(skb); /* log the original src IP */
printk(KERN_INFO"src IP %pI4\n", &iph->saddr); /* modify the packet's src IP */
iph->saddr = in_aton("8.8.8.8"); return NF_ACCEPT;
} /* A netfilter instance to use */
static struct nf_hook_ops nfho = {
.hook = my_hookfn,
.pf = PF_INET,
.hooknum = NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING,
.priority = NF_IP_PRI_FIRST,
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
}; static int __init sknf_init(void)
{
if (nf_register_hook(&nfho)) {
printk(KERN_ERR"nf_register_hook() failed\n");
return -1;
}
return 0;

{
nf_unregister_hook(&nfho);

module_exit(sknf_exit);
