Hello, I understand you’re looking for a skilled developer to design a kernel-based XDP-focused firewall with both stateful and stateless packet filtering capabilities on Fedora. With strong expertise in Linux kernel development, nftables, and advanced network security, I can deliver a high-performance solution optimized for low-latency packet processing. My approach will leverage XDP/eBPF for in-kernel filtering to achieve ultra-fast decision-making at the earliest point in the networking stack, while integrating nftables for flexible rule management and Suricata-style inspection. The firewall will be engineered to support both stateless policies for simple filtering and stateful inspection for connection tracking, ensuring robust protection across multiple layers. I will also implement a modular configuration system to allow easy rule updates, logging, and scalability, making it suitable for enterprise or high-traffic environments. Performance benchmarking, kernel tuning, and stress testing will be included to validate reliability under heavy load. With experience in network engineering, Linux administration, and secure system architecture, I can build a Fedora-ready firewall that combines speed, stability, and advanced security practices. This ensures you receive a professional, production-ready solution aligned with your requirements for both stateless filtering and short stateful capabilities. Thanks, Asif
