Thank you Can I know how to define the "SSH_CHECK" and white list? I only know to use iptables -A Thank you Andrew Hull <list at racc2000.com> wrote: chloe K wrote: > Hi all > > ks there iptables rules to limit attack? > > Thank you > Hi, Below is an example that I use to limit the rate of new connections to a particular port/service. You should be able to mold this to work with whatever service you would like to protect. Add the first line to your main input chain. This will limit new connections to tcp/22 to a rate of 4/minute/uniqueIP. Another benefit for me, is that this uses the modules that come with the CentOS stock kernel... no extra mussing to get it to work.
