Python-iptables is a Python project that provides bindings to the iptables C libraries in Linux.
Hey Readers/Programmers,
If you are here then you must be getting an error like :
iptc.ip4tc.IPTCError: can't initialize filter: libiptc version error
or
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/iptc/ip4tc.py", line 1143, in __new__
obj = Chain._cache.get(table.name + "." + name, None)
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'name'
After rigorous googling of 2 hrs i found the solution
Follow the step mentioned below
Firstly type in terminal
#lsmod | grep ip
to check the kernel modules
If the output does not contains the modules shown below
ip_tables
ip_conntrack
iptable_filter
ipt_state
then it means these modules aren't loaded, then use the following commands to load these modules:
#modprobe ip_tables
#modprobe ip_conntrack
#modprobe iptable_filter
#modprobe ipt_state
Thank you!!
