Question 1: are the following rules equal?



iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -p tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,PSH,ACK,URG NONE -j DROP
iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -p tcp --tcp-flags ALL NONE -j DROP


Question 2: are the following rules equal?



iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -p tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN FIN,SYN -j DROP
iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,FIN SYN,FIN -j DROP


I'm new to iptables and I'm a bit confused because some tutorials suggest to use those four rules.

          Yes, they are for both the questions.



          ALL is the same as FIN,SYN,RST,PSH,ACK,URG.



          Check out the man iptables-extensions command on --tcp-flags which is used when the TCP protocol is used: -p tcp.



          [!] --tcp-flags mask comp
          Match when the TCP flags are as specified. The first argument
          mask is the flags which we should examine, written as a comma-
          separated list, and the second argument comp is a comma-sepa‐
          rated list of flags which must be set. Flags are: SYN ACK FIN
          RST URG PSH ALL NONE. Hence the command
          iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,ACK,FIN,RST SYN
          will only match packets with the SYN flag set, and the ACK, FIN
          and RST flags unset.
