You compiled into kernel only netfilter. It is a kernel subsystem responsible
for packet filtering. IPTables is a tool for manipulating netfilter. Look at
http://netfilter.samba.org
BTW if you compile kernel you always got only kernel image (and maybe some
modules) but never binaries you can run from shell.
