Hi everyone,

As promised, my rc.firewall script. This script does quite a lot to protect
my BBS from script kiddies and those so-called "security companies", who are just running port scanneras because they can.

Note that my fail2ban setup is doing more of the heavy lifting when it comes
to protecting open ports via its "pam-generic" internal filter and the "recidive-subnet" external filter I installed (that filter scans fail2ban's logs and if there are a certain amount of hits coming from a particular netmask, it will ban the entire IP range via CIDR for 26 weeks).

With everything combined, I've never had any issues and enjoy seeing script kiddies try to get in every second of every day. I have no social life... XD

# Outpost BBS rc.firewall script for Slackware 15.
# Modified for MBSE by Sean Dennis on 15 May 2024.
#
# Generated iptables firewall script for the Linux 2.4 kernel and later.
# Script generated by Easy Firewall Generator for IPTables 1.15
# copyright 2002 Timothy Scott Morizot
# Modified for Slackware Linux by Eric Hameleers <alien@slackware.com>
#
# This generator is adapted from the original to work on Slackware Linux.
# Basically, I corrected the path name to the iptables* commands
# and re-wrote this comment.
#
# It can be executed with the typical start and stop arguments.
# If used with stop, it will stop after flushing the firewall.
# The save and restore arguments will save or restore the rules
# from the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. The save and restore
# arguments are included to preserve compatibility with
# Redhat's or Fedora's init.d script if you prefer to use it.

# You may want to save this script as /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
# and make it executable, like this:
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
# Slackware Linux will then automatically run this script
# with the "start" parameter.

# accept these. I added these rules because some network connections,

# quickly and without logging them. This prevents them from traversing

# Passive FTP
#
# With passive FTP, the server provides a port to the client
# and allows the client to initiate the connection rather
# than initiating the connection with the client from the data port.
# Web browsers and clients operating behind a firewall generally
# use passive ftp transfers. A general purpose FTP server
# will need to support them.
#
# However, by default an FTP server will select a port from the entire
# range of high ports. It is not particularly safe to open all
# high ports. Fortunately, that range can be restricted. This
# firewall presumes that the range has been restricted to a specific
# selected range. That range must also be configured in the ftp server.

# ###############################################################################

# The mangle table is used to alter packets. It can alter or mangle them in
# several ways. For the purposes of this generator, we only use its ability
# to alter the TTL in packets. However, it can be used to set netfilter
# mark values on specific packets. Those marks could then be used in another
# table like filter, to limit activities associated with a specific host, for
# instance. The TOS target can be used to set the Type of Service field in
# the IP header. Note that the TTL target might not be included in the
# distribution on your system. If it is not and you require it, you will
# have to add it. That may require that you build from source.
