Dear Frndz,

I have the following Two Scenario :

1) I want to Open All port in my Linux Server Except http(80) and https(443) Port .

2 ) I want to Close All port in my Linux Server Except http(80) and https(443) Port .

For the above scenario , What will be the "IP-tables" rules . Plz help according this regards .


Thx... ... ...

Open All Ports except 80 and 443

$ sudo iptables -F INPUT
$ sudo iptables -F OUTPUT
$ sudo iptables -F FORWARD
$ sudo iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
$ sudo iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
$ sudo iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 --dport 80 -j DROP
$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 --dport 443 -j DROP

Close All Ports except 80 and 443

$ sudo iptables -F INPUT
$ sudo iptables -F OUTPUT
$ sudo iptables -F FORWARD
$ sudo iptables -P INPUT DENY
$ sudo iptables -P OUTPUT DENY
$ sudo iptables -P FORWARD DENY
$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 443 -j ACCEPT

These is untested as I don't have the time, however that should be right (If not, it will give you a good start).

Everyone else, please correct me when needed.

*Edit
Please note: You may (should) flush your IP Tables before doing this.

Cheers,
