Well these may help All iptables HOWTO's: http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/index.html#documentation-howto Another Great Tutorial: http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html
thanks for the fast answer anyway these two tutorial doesn't really answer to my question. i solved it and somehow the kernel didn't compile conntrack module. i'e another question if is possible to answer^^ whick kernel option is to enable to have recent match support? conntrack is enabled but i still get iptables: Invalid argument SOLVED iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn -m recent --update --seconds 40 --hitcount 10 -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn -m recent --set -j DROP --set when used doesn't want seconds and hit counts
