Hello, With LM8.1 I am trying to shore up my machine using Bastille - I don't need anything complex. Setup went fine, but now I'm tring to understand what it has done. iptables -L says:
Chain INPUT (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination DROP tcp -- anywhere 127.0.0.0/8 ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere DROP all -- BASE-ADDRESS.MCAST.NET/4 anywhere PUB_IN all -- anywhere anywhere PUB_IN all -- anywhere anywhere PUB_IN all -- anywhere anywhere ...snip the rest which seems fine. Rule 3 & 4 in the input chain confuse me. Rule 3 looks like it will accept anything what so ever, so none of the following rules will be used. Have I misunderstood? Rule 4 looks okay, I'm just not sure what its there for. Also since Bastille is run at boot, do connections brought up later get protected or do I need to re-run something? Thanks for any help, Nick.
