[DEV] netfilter for x8

---

Well, another module. A guy called me a module man

If we can compile this module we can (hopefully) have native usb/wifi tether on our phone.

Other benefits:
- Firewall apps
- Transparent proxies
- NAT

I'll start trying to make this work on our current kernel. Contribution is appreciated.

Github repo is here : https://github.com/doixanh/X8Features

Once again, great work!

Continue with the modules, you are solving many things extremely fast!

Big thank you from me for contributing to the X8 community!

All u need to do is implement the needed hooks missing from the stock kernel for iptables to attach on.

Hello. If this module get worked, will be able the reverse usb tether(PC -> phone). I.e to have internet on my phone from the computer via USB.

Can someone explain what is this?

Great job! I use third-party programs, but is good to have native tether. One question. Will I need drivers for PC with native tether?

no this would allow your phone to become a wifi hot spot, why would you need it the other way? if you have no wifi network you can download APK's to your computer and move to phone and install from your SD card

it would also allow you to use firewall apps to block all apps but the ones you want from connecting to your mobile internet to save you money.

So far, I managed to compile and insmod "netfilter.ko" with no error. But whenever I try to insmod iptable_filter.ko, I got a kernel crash.

The following modules has been insmoded - ordered to solve module dependencies.
insmod netfilter.ko
insmod x_tables.ko
insmod xt_tcpudp.ko
insmod nf_sockopt.ko
insmod ip_tables.ko
insmod ipt_addrtype.ko
insmod iptable_filter.ko <--- crashed here

Kernel crash message:

[  466.135716] [<bf06b354>] (nf_register_hook+0x0/0x90 [netfilter]) from [<bf06b408>] (nf_register_hooks+0x24/0x64 [netfilter])

It seems the our nf_register_hook is not working.

Some logs:

[  163.394843] nf_register_hook reg=BF059844

<1>Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

Could u share sources for those? Thanks.
