I'm a little confused about when to add the TARPIT trap.

iptables -N SPECIAL # add special chain for tarpit usage

*HERE*?
iptables -A SPECIAL -p tcp -j TARPIT

#
# the following string match rules screen out nimda and other crap
#
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp  --dport 80 -m string --algo bm 
--string "/default.ida?"     -j SPECIAL
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp  --dport 80 -m string --algo bm 
--string ".exe?/c+dir"       -j SPECIAL
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp  --dport 80 -m string --algo bm 
--string ".exe?/c+tftp"      -j SPECIAL
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp  --dport 80 -m string --algo bm 
--string "cmd.exe"           -j SPECIAL
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp  --dport 80 -m string --algo bm 
--string "vti_bin"           -j SPECIAL
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp  --dport 80 -m string --algo bm 
--string "nsiislog.dll"      -j SPECIAL
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp  --dport 80 -m string --algo bm 
--string "click-network.com" -j SPECIAL

*OR HERE?*
iptables -A SPECIAL -p tcp -j TARPIT

Thanks
Eric
