Restrictive Iptables Based Firewall for Webserver script

Restrictive Iptables Based Firewall for Webserver script

This script is working on all #Linux standard distribution, but use at your own risk! The script has been made to automated the creation of iptables rules. There is an easy to use menu as well

root:~# ./firewall.sh  Firewall script by www.waltercedric.com   Credits to all various authors - GNU/GPL 3.0 Script   Choose one of the following options:  [N]ew firewall rules [C]lear all firewall rules [T]est firewall rules [S]ave firewall rules to /etc/network/iptables [E]xit

Features

  • Use iptables
  • Allow or disallow most services (dns, http, ftp, smtp, icmp, ntp, ssh …),
  • Protect ssh against too many login attempt in a timeframe,
  • Protect ssh and allow only one ip to use that services,
  • Harden the webserver by dropping illegal http packets,
  • Easy to read and extend script written in bash,
  • GNU/GPL 3.0 Script,

To use it, just edit the file firewall.sh and change the variables.

The file is available as a Gist https://gist.github.com/1690823
