Package netfilter provides encoding and decoding of Netlink messages into Netfilter attributes. It handles Netfilter-specific nesting of attributes, endianness, and is written around a native Netlink implementation (https://github.com/mdlayher/netlink). It is purely written in Go, without any dependency on Cgo or any C library, kernel headers or userspace tools.
The goal of this package is to be used for implementing the Netfilter family of Netlink protocols. For an example implementation, see https://github.com/ti-mo/conntrack.
Contributions are absolutely welcome! Before starting work on large changes, please create an issue first, or join #networking on Gophers Slack to discuss the design.
If you encounter a problem implementing the library, please open a GitHub issue for help.
