Thanks for the suggestion, David.

I'll give it a shot.  I tend to forget the old maxim KISS!  You are
certainly right I over complicated this.

Subject: RE: iptables

I'm sure you will get better answers than this, but my two cents...
Try a simpler set of rules to block those four random addresses:

#block anything sourced from aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa:
-A INPUT -s aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa -j DROP
#block anything going to aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa:
-A OUTPUT -d aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa -j DROP
#try the same for forwarded traffic
-A FORWARD -s aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa -j DROP
-A FORWARD -d aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa -j DROP

I suspect the extra -m tcp and the FORWARD rules with both source and
destination being the bad addresses.  Also if you want to stop all the
traffic, I wouldn't worry about protocol or ports, just block the IPs.

Of course finding out what's running that shouldn't would also be good.

Good afternoon.

I have a mystery process running on my vmware client system under WinXP
Professional that is streaming data to one of four random ip addresses.
I've modified /etc/sysconfig/iptables as follows in an attempt to block
this access:

I'm not sure if traffic from my guest machine is considered input/output
or forward so I hedged my bets and placed rules in all three chains.  I
restarted iptables after these modifications and iptables -L shows the
rules in effect.  I'm still getting evidence of continued traffic as can
be seen from the following snippet from tcpdump:

14:16:01.696211 192.168.1.67.1056 > 4.79.72.30.http: . ack 1 win 64240

Port 222 was one of the ports used but I have not seen traffic to it
since implementing the rules set above.  The outgoing traffic has been
on various ports between 1040 and 1222 so I decided to block the whole
range from 1040-1250.

What am I missing here?  This is RedHat EL3.0 WS U5 but I continue to
see this traffic whenever I start the client Windows box.  This traffic
starts within a few seconds after the login screen appears even if I
don't log in.

Any tips as to how I can block all this extraneous traffic will be most
gratefully appreciated.

Thanks and have a great weekend.
