ThankÂs will take look at that list :). But a last question. --syn is the same as --tcp-flags ALL SYN?


no.  "--syn" is the example you asked about:

  --tcp-flags SYN,RST,ACK SYN

this is clearly explained in 'man iptables' btw...

Yes I know but the manpages donÂt work here donÂt know why. Hmm but then itÂs better to explicit drop packets like ... --tcp-flags SYN,FIN SYN,FIN before using a line like this ... --syn -m state --state NEW ... because this would also allow the usage of SYN,FIN for new connections. And thatÂs not a legal set. Or isnÂt it necessary to drop those packets because TCP will take care of that and send RST for them?
