If all mask's bits are set to 1, than it only matches the masked value... For your purpose, you have to use 128 (10000000b) as mask : 1 & 128 = 0 77 & 128 = 0 128 & 128 = 128 129 & 128 = 128 So, you match 0, with a 128 mask, which may be, I guess, something like "-m mark --mark 0/128". Note that 0 will also match. It is basicly the same system as netmasks. -- Cédric Blancher <blancher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> IT systems and networks security - Cartel Sécurité Phone : +33 (0)1 44 06 97 87 - Fax: +33 (0)1 44 06 97 99 PGP KeyID:157E98EE FingerPrint:FA62226DA9E72FA8AECAA240008B480E157E98EE
