I run a mini-webserver on 192.168.1.80:80 behind a Linksys router.
This series didn't explain how I can block certain IPaddresses that
abuse that server. I ran 'sudo /sbin/iptables -L' and couldn't figure
out the mess. I use ufw under Kubuntu, but it doesn't allow a table-based
configuration, which is a PITA because the order of these rules is
important. Is there a simple line I can add to this script that would
block incoming access from a certain IPaddress?

Hardly "Mastering"

This series would be MUCH more appropriately named "an intro to IPTABLES"

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
