Responding to an attack in firefox

[jackportd]

Hello guys

I quickly load my firewall setup script into vi and begin hacking away at my iptables rules, modifying my firewall so that it'll block those evil incoming Bob packets. After a minute or so, I find the exact place to make the appropriate DROP rule additions, and I add them. Then, I start and stop the firewall...ooops, made a bit of a mistake when I added the rules. I load up the firewall scripts again, fix the problem, and thirty seconds later the firewall has been tweaked to block Bob's attack of the month. At first, it seems like I successfully thwarted the attack...until the helpdesk phones begin ringing. Apparently, Bob was able to disrupt my network for about 10 minutes, and now my customers are calling to find out what's going on.
