Dunno much about h-i-s-t-o-r-y.

But do know a better way to do it!

You can compile string support into IPTABLES and basically add search strings to reject packets. It will enanylze packets and reject them based on content. Especially useful for NIMDA.


This may not help.. More of a suggestion...
