Not a LARTC question.  Try firewall-wizards or netfilter.

 : Some say that DROP is the ideal manner to deal with non authorized
 : requests, but using DROP let the atacker know the ports which are
 : filtered. Using REJECT simply add one step to all proccess, sending the
 : reject signal back to the oringin.
