Show how you would use the iptables command to reject all incoming SYN packets that seek to open a new connection with your machine?
# Following is the way to reject all the incoming SYN packets that seek to open a new connection with your machine,
Consider the following iptables command,
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --syn -j REJECT
Let me explain you each part of the above iptables command in detail and show its working,
1) iptables is the gear for
network address translation and IPv4 packet filtering where
INPUT will add the new rule to the table.
2) Selected chain will get appended by rule to
reject all SYN packets with the help of -A.
3) -p stands for protocol to be used . Here its only TCP for SYN
packets. Hence -p tcp.
4) -m option signifies usage of tcp extended packet
matching module which provides --syn option.
5) --syn is the extension provided by the module
mentioned above signifies other tcp flags namely FIN, ACK, RST
flags are cleared and only SYN flag is set.
6) If the packet is matched as SYN packet, the
reject operation will be done because of -j option
which acts as option which decides action to be performed on a
successfull match.
7) Finally the REJECT option will
reject all the incoming packets matched as SYN packets which will
disable all incoming TCP connections while not influencing the
outgoing TCP connections.
Hence in above mentioned way it is shown how to use iptables
commant to block all the incoming SYN packets seeking to open new
connection. :)

In Debian Linux, the iptables command is used to manage the built-in firewall. Describe how the iptables command can be used to: a.append a rule to reject all incoming TCP traffic to port 8088 (3 marks) b.show the list of the rules in the firewall after the change made in part (a) (2 marks).
a) How would you use the ls command to display all of the files/directories in the directory ‘/sbin’ that start with ‘bl’? b) How would you use the ls command to display all of the files/directories in your current directory that contain the word ‘grade’ somewhere in the name and end with ‘.pdf’? c) How would you use the ls command to display all of the files/directories in your current directory that are any two characters followed by the file...
1. What would these iptables rules do? iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT Allow web server traffic Block web server traffic Force port 80 traffic to port 443 Allow traffic from both 80 and 443 using UDP protocols 2. Timestamps are important because can not be changed or deleted by attackers when configured properly, allows you to correlate events across the network can always...
You are to create and apply a firewall rule set on your Ubuntu server and each rule should be commented. Make sure to use variables for the IP addresses in your firewall. It's good practice and if I have to test one or more of your rules, I can replace the address in the variable. For any packets you REJECT or DENY, those should be logged. That means you'll need to modify the rule so that if the rule matches...
Use the firewall-cmd to drop all incoming pings. Try to ping your CentOS machine from your Mac. It should not work. Write down the command Remove the previous rule created (the one from question 1) Write down the command
Description: In this assignment, you will be launching a denial of service attack on a web server. We will be using hping3, a command-line oriented network security tool inside Kali Linux (an advanced penetration testing Linux distribution). Setting up the victim machine Download the Windows XP virtual machine with WebGoat server installed, using the following link. We will use this machine as the victim machine and launch a DoS attack on the WebGoat server.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwCbaZv8DevUejBPWlNHREFVc2s Open the victim machine and launch...

in wireshark: What would be the two display filters you would use if you wanted to only display packets with port 443? And how would the filter change if you wanted to only display packets with a destination of port 443?
For each command give me the ENTIRE COMMAND SEQUENCE. If I ask you 'What command would I use to move the file one.txt to the parent directory and rename it to two.txt?", the answer is NOT 'mv'. That is only part of the command. 16. What command could I run to determine whether the ssh daemon is listening? With OpenSSH installed and running, the result should show that ssh/port 22 as "listening.' (5 pts) 17. Create a crontab entry that...
