AWESOME !!! SWEET !! Exactly what I'm looking since long. Now the overflow connection attempt droped but the other services are still available. Though the blacklist interval is taking more than what is defined in the config. here is the codes ``````````````````````````` iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m hashlimit --hashlimit-above 2/min --hashlimit-burst 2 \ --hashlimit-name hashlimit -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport $SSH_PORT -j \ MARK --set-xmark 0x1/0xffffffff iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport $SSH_PORT -m recent --rcheck --seconds 60 --name sshoverflow --rsource -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport $SSH_PORT -m mark --mark 0x1 -m recent \ --set --name sshoverflow --rsource -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport $SSH_PORT -j ACCEPT ````````````````````````` the interval is set to 60 sec as above. but practically it is taking `````````````` real 1m52.044s `````````` measured by *time* Except the interval ; everything else is running well. many many thanks.. -- জয়দীপ বক্সী -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
