Note that while port 22 is the default, there is no guarantee that port 22 will be used. OK, you can easily argue that it could be way better than nothing for preventing ssh to 'random' servers, if there is a case that the remote SSH box could be under the command of one of your users, then they could change that port to almost anything (and then any 'port 22 based' blocking would fail).
(Changing the ssh port is also used as a 'security measure'; I don't think it is too controversial to say that, on its own, it is a poor security measure, but it does mean that there is a population of boxes where a non-default port is used for entirely legitimate, if often poor, reasons.)
ipset -N myset iphash
ipset -A myset 1.1.1.1
ipset -A myset 2.2.2.2
iptables -A INPUT -m set --set myset src -j DROP
iptables -A OUTPUT -m set --set myset dst -j DROP
I've never seen the "!" used before for an IPTables ruleset. Looking at the man page, this will invert on the dst-range, which normally would match destination IPs in the specified range.
So with the "!", it would mean that we would ignore the range of 192.1681.2, 192.168.2.3, 198.168.3.3 ?

thanks
The "!" equals NOT, so yes we would ignore 192.168.1.2, 192.168.2.3 and 192.168.3.3
