11 At the very least I'd do the following with iptables:
12
13 iptables -P INPUT DROP
14 iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
15 iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
16 iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
17
18 This will make sure that there are no incoming connects except those that
19 you
20 initiated.
