Hi... Im running iptables 1.2.7a with RedHat7.3(2.4.20). I have my rules posted here: http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter/2003-June/044918.html My question is...if my Windows machines behind the firewall/Router get infected with a Trojan/Virus...and are trying to connect to there servers from my mahcine using PORT 80 these rules of mine would not try to stop the connection from going through, Right! Soo i was wondering what i could add to the Script to make it soo that if a Trojan using port 80 to connect out does happen to get on my mahcine how would i stop this. Cause yesterday i installed Kero Personal Firewall on my windows mahcine and set the default OUTPUT rule to DROP and noticed WUAUCLT.exe trying to connect to PORT 80 to some ip address and i think it would have made it through. Here is one site that said it was a VIRUS. http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/trojcultb.html Can anyone explain to me a little better on how to stop these connectiions from happening butyet still letting Netcape and IE and normal webrowsers through. Thanks Guys! Tasha@xxx<---- P.S.> Overall how secure do you boys think my script is? I know nothing is evn close to %100 secure but do you notice somehting i could change or add that would help it. I have this also at the begining. # Enable broadcast echo protection echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts # Disable source routed packets for f in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/accept_source_route; do echo 0 > $f done # Enable syn cookie protection. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies # Disable ICMP Redirect Acceptence for f in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/accept_redirects; do echo 0 > $f done # Drop spoofed packets comeing in on an interface, ehich if replied # to,would result the reply going out another interface. for f in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/rp_filter; do echo 1 > $f done # Dont't send Redirect Messages for f in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/send_redirects; do echo 0 > $f done # Log packets with impossiable addreses. for f in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/log_martians; do echo 1 > $f done __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
