I was using the guide on securing SSH, and noticed that the firewall-cmd snippets for filtering by requests per time seem somewhat outdated. From what I can tell the given snippets, relay arguments directly down to iptables, and do not cover both IPv4 and v6. (and in fact when attempting to extend to v6 the firewall would fail to reload). I came up with an "all firewall-cmd" solution which I'd like to share. It boils down to using rich rules in firewalld instead of direct rules for iptables. The code snippets in section 6 of < https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/SecuringSSH> would be changed to firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule port port="22" protocol="tcp" accept limit value="4/m"' firewall-cmd --permanent --remove-service ssh firewall-cmd --permanent --remove-port 22/tcp firewall-cmd --reload newly minted wiki username is "KimeeModel".
