A question on my firewall script...


I'm running Slackware 12.0 and I'm trying to block some IPs from accessing my apache web server.

My rc.FireWall script looks like this. I've put several IPs in there that I want to block. Yet, I still get http requests from these IPs...
Also, what's the difference from rc.FireWall and rc.FireWall~ ?
Which one gets used. Anyhow I usually start the script with

rc.FireWall stop
rc.FireWall start

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
# usage: rc.firewall start|stop|status
#
# Simple firewall disallowing all incomming connections
# but allowing all traffic on localhost (lo device)
# and allowing all outgoing traffic for $ALLOWED_PORTS
# (you can set the variable below)
#
# Author: Tomas M. <http://slax.linux-live.org/>
#
ALLOWED_PORTS="20 21 22 25 80 110 143 443"
#-----------------------------------------------------------

if [ "$1" = "start" ]; then

   SYSCTLW="/sbin/sysctl -q -w"
   IPTABLES="/usr/sbin/iptables"

   # Disable routing triangulation. Respond to queries out
   # the same interface, not another. Helps to maintain state
   # Also protects against IP spoofing

   $SYSCTLW net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=1

   # Enable logging of packets with malformed IP addresses,
   # Disable redirects,
   # Disable source routed packets,
   # Disable acceptance of ICMP redirects,
   # Turn on protection from Denial of Service (DOS) attacks,
   # Disable responding to ping broadcasts,
   # Enable IP routing. Required if your firewall is protecting a network, NAT included

   $SYSCTLW net.ipv4.conf.all.log_martians=1
   $SYSCTLW net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects=0
   $SYSCTLW net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route=0

   done

   # Create a chain for logging all dropped packets
   $IPTABLES -N LOG_DROP
#  $IPTABLES -A LOG_DROP -j LOG --log-prefix "Attack log: "
   $IPTABLES -A LOG_DROP -j DROP

   $IPTABLES -A INPUT -j LOG_DROP    # drop all incomming
   
   # Drop packets coming from specific IP addresses
   $IPTABLES -I INPUT -s 222.187.221.88 -j DROP
   $IPTABLES -I INPUT -s 82.98.141.7 -j DROP
   $IPTABLES -I INPUT -s 8.11.254.248 -j DROP

rc.FireWall~ is the backup made by your texteditor

You can block the whole range
iptables -I INPUT -s 66.135.32.0/20 -j DROP

In my script each rule is started with $IPTABLES instead of just IPTABLES, why is that?

Because of this line:
Code:
IPTABLES="/usr/sbin/iptables"
Read about bash variables here: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/

you define iptables at the beginning of the script
Code:
IPTABLES="/usr/sbin/iptables"
so $IPTABLES means
Code:
/usr/sbin/iptables
