The conntrack-tools are a set of free software userspace tools for Linux that allow system administrators interact with the Connection Tracking System, which is the module that provides stateful packet inspection for iptables. The conntrack-tools are the userspace daemon conntrackd and the command line interface conntrack.

HOP is full of useful and interesting examples that Perl programmers will want to see. Chapter 1 is about writing recursive functions to walk the file system and to process recursively-structured data such as HTML documents. Chapter 2 discusses dispatch tables in the context of reading configuration files. Chapter 4 concludes with an improved replacement for the WWW::SimpleRobot module, with better functionality in one-third the code, and also contains a basic database query system that searches an HTTP log file backwards, delivering the most recent records first. Chapter 6 discusses the frequently asked question of how to generate a list of all the strings that will match a given regex and provides an astonishingly simple solution. Later on, in Chapter 8, I show how to build a parser for regexes and attach it to the string generator. Chapter 9 presents linogram, a complete constraint-based diagram-drawing system.
