Fwknop implements an authorization scheme known as Single Packet Authorization
(SPA) for Linux systems running iptables. This mechanism requires only a
single encrypted and non-replayed packet to communicate various pieces of
information including desired access through an iptables policy. The main
application of this program is to use iptables in a default-drop stance to
protect services such as SSH with an additional layer of security in order
to make the exploitation of vulnerabilities (both 0-day and unpatched code)
much more difficult.

This package generates discrete RPM files for client, server, support library and development files.
