Subject: Allowing ping
Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2005 22:32:42 +0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <435E6C3A.20709@beaconet.net> (raw)
hi list,
I have a very simple question, presently we are blocking icmp
"ping" on our servers. But as far I can userderstand its not very good
practice or providing a good security by blocking ping request. see one
can ping www.xyz.com and get the reply back.
However Before allowing ping "echo-request" I just want to confirm
whether doing ...
iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT
would be enough or doing some rate limiting would be better?
Any help in this regard will greatly appreciated.
regards
Askar Ali
