Hi Folks I am trying to get TARPIT to work. I am using linux kernel 2.4.24 with the below listed POM patches applied and iptables-1.2.9. Whenever I try to use TARPIT as a target I get the following error message (showing a simple test case): root@dgrunt:/etc/rc.d# iptables -A FORWARD -j TARPIT iptables: Invalid argument I get the same error if I change just one target to TARPIT in an otherwise working script. This is AFTER re-compiling the kernel AND the user-space tools. Can someone tell me what sort of bone-headed thing I am doing wrong? Thanks -- Ken -- Welcome to Rusty's Patch-o-matic!
