CentOS 5 Networking :: Iptables DOS Temporarily Block IP?
May 5, 2011
I have the requirement that if our website receives 20 or more requests within 60 seconds, to block the offending IP address for 5 minutes, then allow them access again. My only certain mechanism to do this is iptables. I wrote the following series of commands:
in my office i have to block all messenger like yahoo messenger, windows live messenger, i have to block websites like www.yahoo.com, some more web sites. i need guidance through which i can accomplish this task through ip tables or through squid server. i can use squid but i had heard that squid blocks pop and smtp also. squid creates some problem in receiving and sending email. i am using red hat linux 4 box and installed squid having two ethernet card 1 is connected to adsl line and 2 is connected to switch. all clients will have proxy address of this linux box. guys need ur help ASAP.
I Need to know how to block this applications using iptables or ROPE scriptable Method..?..
1.Web navigation 2.Electronic mail 3.FTP transfers 4.Video traffic (multicast video stream and unicast video stream) 5.VoIP service 6.Instant Message (MSN and yahoo messenger�etc) 7.Management service (TR-069 and SNMP)

I want to block all outgoing traffic with iptables and only allow a few specific websites. I would like to get the code to do so and also to revert the changes in case I want to unblock them.
I have blocked below IP by using iptables command in RedHat Linux 4.0.
Code:
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.0.85 -j DROP
It's now totally blocked and can't get access into web or internal network. how I can un-block that IP, so that it can again starts it's normal operation.
Currently I have 2 Lan card in My System one for communicate client pcs (Lan card Ip 192.168.1.100) and other for Internet (Lan card ip 192.168.0.100.) All client pcs are in 192.168.1.0 Subnet Here i implement my system as router through iptables all clients are communicate through only 192.168.1.100 (clients default gateway also 192.168.1.100) Now no problem for forward rules when my system is active all clients are get internet.
Now i want to block some ip address and port ways i tried lot of things in internet when i type iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.150 -j REJECT (i found in internet it will block that ip address for getting internet and any access through my sys)

Now i have problem with blocking UDP protocols i tried lot of things in net iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -p UDP -j DROP
But it's not blocking UDP protocols (i change UDP to ICMP Protocols then icmp is blocked every ip address)
My VPS host a mail, blog and web site. So i want to block port i not use. The port that i use is 80,21,2022,443. The other port will be drop. I want to block bad packet and all packet that not related. Can anyone how to write in iptables?
iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -m length --length 39 -m u32 --u32 '27&0x8f=7' --u32 '31=0x527c4833' -j DROP iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
So I re-compiled the kernel enabling WAN Router, and all the subsections. Downloaded latest iptables, removed the RPM one, installed the iptables from source.. Guess what, same error!
PS: iptables -m u32 -h works, it displays a page of info.
I have a Suse 10.3 router with 4 network cards. 1 is to connect to the big network and thereby also the internet, 2 are for 'client' subnets and I want to use the last one as a DMZ. In this DMZ will be a web server which has to be accessible from the other 2 subnets and from the big network. I could do it with a few simple clicks in Yast firewall, but I have some issues with this firewall and there for I want to use it as minimal as possible, using Iptables.
So now I'm struggling a bit with Iptables. Basicly what I'm looking for is how to block all ports but 80 in this last subnet with iptables.
I would like to allow incoming and outgoing connections when I'm connected to a wired connection, but drop it otherwise. I noticed that ufw can't block outgoing traffic because of will I give iptables a try. I'm unsure if dropping packages that are outgoing will work, the rule after the block rule will allow all outgoing connections.
This what the rules are intended to do, unsure if that is actually the case. Allow all loopback traffic. Allow ping replys Allow incoming on port 12345 if eth0, deny otherwise. Allow outgoing on port 12346 if eth0, deny otherwise.
Code: iptables -A FORWARD -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type 0 -s -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
I keep getting hundreds of SSH failed logins per day. Is there a way with iptables, i can say if a user connects too to port 22 over 8 times in 10 minuntes, then block them for an hour?
I have a strange problem with IpTables.after a server reboot, the complete rule-list of iptables is empty. After a manually start, all my old rules are there again.I checked chkconfig if autostart of iptables is enabled:chkconfig --list iptablesiptables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
CentOS 5 iptables 1.4.1.1 APF 9.7 Webmin 1.4.80 (yes i can be a gui noob at times)
I'm currently running a dedicated server that hosts a couple of sites and runs a game server or two. I was using iptables on its own for a while, but recently I'm a target of all sorts of attacks (typically aimed directly at the gameserver on port 7777. UDP flood attacks, etc). I'm also seeing an spike in foreign spam, SSH brutes, and a few people in Turkey thought it would be cute to download files over and over and over I have decided to start banning entire countries, using the subnets listed here [URL]... I'm trying to block Central and South america (189,190,200,201.x.x.x), China, Ukraine, Turkey, Iran, Spain and Italy. I do this because a majority of the traffic from those areas are usually up to no good.
I installed APF so I could easily add these ranges in deny_hosts.rules and be done with it. I added the ranges, which turned out to be too many, and the system tanked. I decreased the amount of ranges to just 4:
189.0.0.0/8 190.0.0.0/8 200.0.0.0/8 201.0.0.0/8
Restarted APF and it loaded fine. Do an apf --list and iptables --list and it shows those 4 ranges as blocked. The only issue...I have people from 190.x and 200.x connecting to the gameserver and PLAYING. Its as if the firewall isnt there. Also, adding those ranges to /etc/hosts.deny (or whatever) doesn't block them either.
I add one of my own ips and I get blocked instantly. WTF?? I look in the iptables for webmin, and it shows an empty firewall. I do iptables --list and it shows the ranges I added in APF. I'm looking at building (or whatever its called) an fresh iptables with the geoip module added in. [URL]...
I've never done anything like this, and I don't want to kill the box. I also don't want to spend the effort if 1) something is wrong with my system to begin with and 2) the geoip module doesn't work. geoip module aside....how exactly should i configure the firewall? Empty iptables completely and then rely on APF for everything? Oh and heres another tidbit: I tried this before 2 years ago and it used to be that anything I put in APF would show when i looked at iptables using the webmin module. Thats no longer the case now. That was also on CentOS 4 when it did that. I don't know if moving to 5 is whats preventing it now.
In a nutshell, I'm new at this and I'm being inundated with terrible people trying to do terrible things and I'm ready to just give up. Can someone just give me a quick rundown on:
1) how to test that my firewall is actually firewalling
2) how I should configure the/a firewall on this CentOS5. Not too specific, I just want to know if I should empty iptables then load apf, should i not bother with APF (i like it when it works), is there a specific order of doing things?
I have big problem with correct settings of iptables as a router. My network topology (UTM Hardware router) 192.168.1.1--->eth0 192.168.1.2(centos with apache ftp and transparent squid 8080)--->eth1 192.168.0.1(LAN with dhcp)
eth0=WAN 192.168.1.2 eth1=LAN 192.168.0.1
I have problem with hanging connections through squid which are very slow or connection failed. Sometimes i received DNS timeout error from squid stable 2.6 21
I'm trying to redirect the requests from port 80 to ports 8080 and 8081 through iptables because I've got two services which need accept requests from the same port(80):
