A *stateless* firewall that attaches to the Linux kernel's [XDP](https://www.iovisor.org/technology/xdp) hook through [(e)BPF](https://ebpf.io/) for fast packet processing. This firewall is designed to read filtering rules from a config file and filter incoming packets. Both IPv4 and **IPv6** are supported! The protocols currently supported are TCP, UDP, and ICMP. The firewall also has the option to display counters for allowed, dropped, and passed packets which are written to `stdout`.
I hope this project helps existing network engineers and programmers interested in utilizing XDP or anybody interested in getting into those fields! (D)DoS protection and mitigation is an important part of Cyber Security and understanding the concept of networking and packet flow on a low-medium level would certainly help those who are pursuing a career in the field 🙂

## Building & Installing
Before building, ensure the following packages are installed. These packages can be installed with `apt` on Debian-based systems (e.g. Ubuntu, etc.), but there should be similar package names in other package managers.
