 ### Iptables Rules

+
+#### Specifying Multiple Ports with `multiport`
+
+```bash
+iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m multiport --dports ssh,smtp,http,https -j ACCEPT
+```
+
+#### Load Balancing with `random*` or `nth*`

+```
+
+#### Restricting the Number of Connections with `limit` and `iplimit*`
+
+```bash
+iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state NEW -p tcp -m multiport --dport http,https -o eth0 -i eth1 \
+    -m limit --limit 20/hour --limit-burst 5 -j ACCEPT
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport http -m iplimit --iplimit-above 5 -j DROP

+
+#### Maintaining a List of recent Connections to Match Against
+
+```bash
+iptables -A FORWARD -m recent --name portscan --rcheck --seconds 100 -j DROP
+iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 443 -m recent --name portscan --set -j DROP
+```
+
+#### Matching Against a `string*` in a Packet's Data Payload
+
+```bash
+iptables -A FORWARD -m string --string '.com' -j DROP
+iptables -A FORWARD -m string --string '.exe' -j DROP
+```
+
+#### Time-based Rules with `time*`
+
+```bash
+iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -m multiport --dport http,https -o eth0 -i eth1 \
+    -m time --timestart 21:30 --timestop 22:30 --days Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri -j ACCEPT
