Description: KISS My Firewall is a FREE iptables script designed for a typical web server. It takes advantage of the latest firewall technologies including stateful packet inspection and connection tracking. It also contains some preventative measures for port scanning, DoS attacks, and IP spoofing, among other things.

It was designed from the start for ease-of-use and installation. Unlike some firewall's, KISS My Firewall is contained entirely within one file. Blocking one or more IP addresses is simple and changes take effect by simply restarting the script.

KISS My Firewall 2 is very easy to install and does not require any initial configuration. It will work with any stock installation of Ensim WEBppliance Basic & Pro, Plesk, and Webmin. Cpanel installations require some modifications.

By default, the following ports are open on the INPUT chain: FTP, SSH, SMTP, DNS, HTTP, POP3, IMAP, HTTPS, MySQL, Secure IMAP, Secure POP3, Ensim WEBppliance Basic/Pro, Webmin, and Plesk. Open ports on the OUTPUT chain include: FTP, SSH, SMTP, RDATE, WHOIS, DNS, HTTP, HTTPS, and OPENSRS.

KISS My Firewall can be configured to work with or without any port you choose and has support for trusted IP addresses and subnets. The firewall is also very easy to customize. It only takes a few changes to the variables to protect a dedicated DNS, MAIL, or FTP-only server.

Since KISS My Firewall uses stateful packet inspection as well as connection tracking, it does not need to explicitly open all of the unprivileged ports for passive mode FTP or port 20 for active mode FTP. This makes the host server much more secure. In addition, KISS My Firewall explicitly REJECTS port 113 (inetd) when needed.

This firewall works well on Ensim Servers (linux).
