totally defenseless -iptables1.25

I have used a portscanner to scn myself both locally and via internet with and without iptables.

it killed my connection with zoneedit.com and it may be flooded the router.

What am I saying... ? AND I do not know what happened???


ICMP is ok. portscan is a killer.


why???

you killed your machine starting a portscan on localhost???

if it only was over the network, then you might have been blocked for some minutes because of the scan by your provider

flooding a router is possible... this could not happen on localhost though since data to / from localhost never passes any routers.

concerning iptables: what setup did you do? and which kernel version?

7.2 RH, I used a hacker tools form CD, I portscan myself locally and via internet.

the router is jammed I think.
