Clean all rules:
iptables -F iptables -X Use these default parameters:
iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P OUTPUT DROP iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT Then do the following:
iptables-save > /etc/network/iptables iptables-restore < /etc/network/iptables Then enter:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -dport 80 -j TARPIT Or you can set a trap for ALL ports, except for your own:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -j TARPIT
