I am trying to use this piece of code that i found in my rc.firewall script but it doesn't seem to want to take it can anyone tell me why or how i can get this to work? #The Mangle portion of the ruleset. Here is where unwanted packet types get dropped. #This helps in making port scans against your server a bit more time consuming and difficult, but not impossible. *mangle :PREROUTING ACCEPT [444:43563] :INPUT ACCEPT [444:43563] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [402:144198] :POSTROUTING ACCEPT [402:144198] -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,PSH,ACK,URG FIN,PSH,URG -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,PSH,ACK,URG NONE -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN,RST -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN FIN,SYN -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,PSH,ACK,URG FIN,PSH,URG -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,PSH,ACK,URG NONE -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN,RST -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN FIN,SYN -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,PSH,ACK,URG FIN,PSH,URG -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,PSH,ACK,URG NONE -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN,RST -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN FIN,SYN -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,PSH,ACK,URG FIN,PSH,URG -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,PSH,ACK,URG NONE -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN,RST -j DROP -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN FIN,SYN -j DROP COMMIT
