Nice, I’d just suggest one thing:

iptables -A flood -m limit –limit 1/s –limit-burst 3 -j RETURN

If the IP address of the source of attack is spoofed, this rule will return the packets to the spoofed IP, so technically it will hit the innocent victim back – saw this happen, those type of attacks are often performed, so it would be better to DROP those packets.

Can you please make a decent shell script where you dont get logged out, drop and deny access to ONLY the bad IPs? How hard is that because this script what it does is logout me – the serveradmin :(

# iptables -A flood -m limit -limit 1/s -limit-burst 3 -j RETURN
iptables v1.4.3.1: option `limit’ requires an argument
Try `iptables -h’ or ‘iptables –help’ for more information.
