Arm your stealth firewall with a custom iptables script.
Conclusion

And with that, I've completely filled up this month's allotted space. I'll wrap up the series next month with some tips and tricks, and a suitably flowery “Conclusion” paragraph that I promise will be much more worthwhile than this one. For now, I'll simply say, “good luck!”

For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
