<span style="color: #222222; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">In computing, a firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. A firewall typically establishes a barrier between a trusted, secure internal network and another outside network, such as the Internet, that is assumed to not be secure or trusted. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">Firewalls are often categorized as either network firewalls or host-based firewalls. Network firewalls are a software appliance running on general purpose hardware or hardware-based firewall computer appliances that filter traffic between two or more networks. Host-based firewalls provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">To block some abusive IP address or range of IPs, you can use the following iptables rules:</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<pre style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-color: #3c3c3c; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: initial; border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: white; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 15.6px;">## iptables -I INPUT -s 1.2.3.4 -j DROP

<div>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">For better readability and maintenance, it is a good idea to have all abusing IPs in one particular file, for example <b>/etc/blacklist.ips</b>. This way, you can add the IP addresses or subnets in this file (one IP or subnet per line) and use the <b>fwall-rules</b> script below to block anything listed in this file.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">So, create or edit <b>/usr/local/bin/fwall-rules </b>and make it as follows:</span></span></div>

Command line arguments (also known as positional parameters) are the arguments specified at the command prompt with a command or script to be executed. The locations at the command prompt of the arguments as well as the location of the command, or the script itself, are stored in corresponding variables. These variables are special shell variables. Below picture will help you understand them.</div>
