Subject: [ANN] Rubyipq v0.1.0: Bindings for Netfilter's libipq

Hi there!

Rubyipq are Ruby bindings for Netfilter's libipq (ip queue), making it
possible for developers to intercept the incoming IP traffic, deciding
whether to accept or drop it (issuing a verdict) according to the
iptables rule set.

Project Homepage: http://rubyipq.rubyforge.org
Downloads (Source, Gem): http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=959

Version 0.1.0 features:
 * Built-in IP, TCP and UDP headers implementation;
 * Possibility to obtain packet data;
 * Implemented the whole ipq_packet_msg_t structure;
 * Added the whole bunch of protocol numbers;
 * Dynamic buffer size setting.


Installation from sources:
 # tar -xzvf rubyipq-0.1.0.tar.gz
 # cd rubyipq-0.1.0
 # make
 # make install


It's also available via RubyGems:
  # gem install rubyipq

 if you try to run the sample file and it cannot find the library, try
using something like this:
  # export RUBYLIB=$RUBYLIB:/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rubyipq-0.1.0-i686-linux/

I'm currently writing the manual and RDoc for this extension, I hope
in a week or so I'll have something ready. If anything goes wrong,
drop me a line, though. I'm also looking for someone to make a new
site for Rubyipq!
