I don't think so, no. You can take packets up into userspace, but you would then have to send them back ut again from your own application - you can't just "hand them back over to netfilter". You might want to look into Snort and/or Hogwash - sounds like they might help you do whatever it is you want to... http://www.snort.org http://hogwash.sourceforge.net Hope this helps. Antony.
