As a main feature it parse raw iptable dump and build full objected tree with chains and rules. It moves almost all functionality which give you *iptables*. Not all patches are implemented - for my purposes there was no need to do that - but it should be enough for most use cases. Installation ------------ [](#installation) The simpliest way to install iptables is by the composer. ``` composer require 3jy/iptables ``` Of course you can also download that repository and load all classes from src into your project (don't forget to load all required files). Usage ----- [](#usage) Parsing raw iptables dump build chains tree connected to one of five default tables in `iptables`. ``` use plugowski\iptables\IptablesService; use plugowski\iptables\Table\Table; use plugowski\iptables\Table\TableFactory; $iptables = new IptablesService(); $table = (new TableFactory())->build(Table::TABLE_MANGLE); $table->setRaw(shell_exec('iptables -nL --line-numbers -t ' . Table::TABLE_MANGLE)); $result = $iptables->parseIptablesChains($table); ``` As result of above code you should get `Table` object with `Chain` collection: ``` $chains = $iptables->getChainsList(); ``` Connections ----------- [](#connections) Each `Table` got `Chains` and each `Chain` got `Rules` with properties which describes all selected options. Using iptables class you can simply find specified chain and get list of all rules in it. Example ------- [](#example) Some examples you can check directly in tests. But for quick review I also put it here. Let's get that iptables settings and we want edit first record - set source to `127.0.0.1`: ``` Chain INPUT (policy DROP) num target prot opt source destination 1 ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 2 DROP all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state INVALID 3 ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED 4 DROP tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:22 state NEW 5 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 MAC 00:00:00:00:11:22 ``` I assume that we already have parsed table under `$result` var, so the easiest way to do that is: ``` $newRule = new Rule('ACCEPT', 'tcp', '127.0.0.1'); $cmd = $result->getChainByName('INPUT')->replaceRule($newRule, 1); ``` First rule in object has been changed and in result we got command in `$cmd`: ``` iptables -R INPUT 1 -t mangle --proto tcp --source 127.0.0.1 --jump ACCEPT ``` Command ------- [](#command) Command class allows you to generate plain shell commands to manage iptables (only return as strings without execute!). ``` // To create shell comand like that: // iptables -A INPUT -t mangle --match mac --mac-source 11:22:33:aa:bb:cc --jump RETURN $command = new Command(Table::TABLE_MANGLE); $cmd = $command->setMatch('mac', ['source' => '11:22:33:aa:bb:cc']) ->setJump('RETURN') ->append('INPUT'); ``` Please make sure that you first set all options (setters like `setMatch()`, `setProtocol()` etc.), and after that call action method, because that methods return strings so it is imposibble to chaining. ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 54% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity7 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity65 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
