| | How To Block The Gnutella Protocol Using A Linux Firewall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) |
 | | Gnutella (which is pronounced "noo tella") is a peer-to-peer networking protocol used for file sharing without reliance on a central server. |
| | This page describes how to identify or block P2P clients such as LimeWire, BearShare, Shareaza, Gnucleus, Gtk-Gnutella, Acquisitionx, Poisoned, Mutella, Phex, Qtella, Gnotella, XNap and CocoGnut (all of which use the Gnutella protocol) using a Linux firewall. |
| | The solution presented here uses Linux's Iptables, enhanced using the Rope module which provides the possibility of writing in-kernel scripts for protocol identification. |
