I am working with iptables and am trying to figure out the best ruleset for cpanel servers.
I have a few custom ports for a few services, but other than that, does anyone have a recommended ruleset for the typical cpanel cluster?
I execute the following commands, in the following order:
iptables --flush
iptables --zero
iptables -A INPUT -s 218.65.12.161 -j DROP
will that last command successfully ban that IP until reboot?
If not, what needs to be done? I can't access my site if I don't flush + zero iptables first but I need to be able to ban with iptables.
I am experiencing a strange problem with iptables: after in activate them, they are gone in a few minutes. For example, I drop traffic from an ip and after few seconds, all rules are flushed without touching anything!

What do you prefer or what do you think is better, iptables or apf for a firewall?

If I keep getting spam from a certain IP, can I add that IP to Iptables? Will it stop me receiving spam from that IP? I'm not quite sure how it all works.
Or what is the most effective method to stop spam?
I've got two VPS's and both have the same ruleset for outbound EG_TCP
Code:
EGF="1"
EG_TCP_CPORTS="21,25,37,43,53,80,110,113,123,443,873,2089,3306"
EG_UDP_CPORTS="53,465,873,6277"
Whenever I turn EGF to 1 my VPS locks me out of everything, I need togo into hyperVM to turn it off and restart my firewall.
What would cause this?
It's Fedora Core 5 on OpenVZ i've googled and cannot seem to find a reason why it would do that. Could be something in the host node kernel that may need adjusting?
how can i clear iptables?
i enter many ip in it that most of them is worng and i must clear it
Do you find iptables enough or do you use a hardware firewall for linux? I haven't used anything less than hardware firewalls for years but I gather than most simply rely on iptables. Is that a smart choice?

iptables v1.3.8: Couldn't load target `standard':/usr/local/lib/iptables/libipt_standard.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
What is going on? The libipt_standard.so file is located in /lib/iptables, but not /usr/local/lib/iptables. I tried moving all of the libipt files into the /usr/local/lib/iptables directory, but I got segmentation errors.
I have installed APF on box and set ports for in and out and enabled it.. of course, iptables is running from booting..
[root@localhost /]# runlevel
N 3
[root@localhost /]# chkconfig --list | grep iptables
iptables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
[root@localhost /]# chkconfig --list | grep apf
apf 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
but when I check it like this
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables status
Firewall is stopped.
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables start
Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: mangle filter [ OK ]
Unloading iptables modules: ^[[A [ OK ]
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables status
Firewall is stopped.
it said iptables is stop...even I start manually...
I am not sure APF is running correctly because of iptables..
# apf -r

is there any reason that I cannot use iptables? If I edit monokern option in apf to 1, I cannot use ftp in passive mode
I have CSF installed on one of our server.
CSF dont ban the IP and if manually it is done I get following error.
----------------
csf -d 195.88.65.47
Adding 195.88.65.47 to csf.deny and iptables DROP...
iptables: Index of insertion too big
DROP all opt -- in !lo out * 195.88.65.47 -> 0.0.0.0/0
Error: iptables command [/sbin/iptables -v -I INPUT 2 -i ! lo -s 195.88.65.47 -j DROP] failed, at line 864
-------------------
Also iptables is not running on server.
If status is checked it says its stopped.
I have many sites on my server I dont want to get any downtime.
Please let us know how can we fix this issue as soon as possible.
I have tried reinstall CSF but still the issue remains same.
I keep trying to flush my iptables on my linux server but every time i try to do so my server seems to freeze (i lose access and have to reboot it for it to come back online), how can I go about deleting those ips manually rather than executing the flushing command? what options do I have?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI used a script to block some unwanted countries from accessing my site. In total I had about 3000 lines with ipranges. Now I just went ahead and put this on one of the servers, one that I really don't need the traffic on. But I am wondering what kind of affect this may have on the speeds. Will it really affect it more then a few ms? And anything else I should maybe worry about? Except maybe the loading time at reboots.

There is not any message coming up.
When use

It said:

My os is fedora core 6
My site is under DDOS attack. I run this command
netstat -an | grep :80 | grep ffff | awk '{print $5}' | cut -f 4 -d : | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -10
And find a lot of IP that are attacking. After that, i run
iptables -A INPUT -s xxx -j DROP
to block IP, and
service iptables save
service iptables restart
But when i run netstat command abouve, i found IP are attacking still available, it seem iptables don't block it?
I upgraded to the 2.6.27 kernel and iptables to 1.4.2 but can't seem to get CSF to run and i believe its because of conntrack not being found:

One of my low knowledge area's is Iptables Rule's I just normally use APF/CSF.
However on a VPS Host node, I basically want to block all access to a certain port let's say 1234 apart from a certain IP address.
However I don't want to block this port on any of the VPS's on the Node, so what Iptable Rule(s) would I need to put into a bash script on startup.
While tarpit is outdated, is it still considered an ideal way to drop DDoS Attacks?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI installed APF/BFD a log time ago on my centos server and have had no problems up until now.
Approx 3 days ago, the server was uncontactable by SSH/HTTP/FTP. So I ran a traceroute and the host confirmed the box was up with no problems.
He disabled IPTables and I was allowed in. Anyway, overnight, the same thing has happenned again.
I will have to SSH in from another IP however, my main question is how do I disable IPTables ? Or better still, how do I uninstall APF!
to stop iptables cause when any user make refresh he is take banned from server
i need to stop iptables or how to make rules for it
