From Containers to Port Knocking: Advanced Firewall Automation with nftables and Rust
Jasper Wiegratz

As nftables becomes the standard for Linux packet filtering, we can efficiently automate Linux firewalls across multiple protocol layers. This session introduces a Rust-based SDK for nftables automation, covering programmatic options, practical applications, and insights from real-world implementations. Attendees will learn about nftables’ capabilities, common challenges in automation, and how lessons from Rust can apply across other languages and automation frameworks.
