Hi, I have iptables-1.2.7a and 2.4.26 kernel and there is something strange. I have the following rule: iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -s 0/0 --protocol tcp --destination-port 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -s IP_ADDR --protocol tcp --destination-port 22 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn -j DROP So I expect that only the specified IP_ADDR can ssh to port 22 in my server. But in /var/log/secure I see that some other IP's for example 168.179.113.141 try to login to ssh with different user names to my server. However, then I try ssh to that server not from IP_ADDR I can not, as expected. Please tell me how this 168.179.113.141 bypass my firewall.
