Hello list, I've been told to block ping requests with iptables. I made the following rule: iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP The only problem with this, is it drops all pings incoming as well, which causes a slight problem. Any way around this? Also, is there anything else that can be done in order to make the system more secure? I was told to block fragmented packets. I know what they are, but don't know enough about tcp in order to be able to do much with them. Help is appriciated. Thanks,
