IPTables operates at the kernel level, and it's conceiveable that some clever shithead could
write
a kernel module that alters IPTables' behavior in a way that nullifies it's protection of your server. Remember, a rootkit gives anyone who accesses it absolute power over the server to do anything they want, including poisoning your detection mechanisms.
Or just type:
# iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT # iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT # iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT # iptables -F
as root to flush your IPTables script!

How can i put the above commands at the boot time. I put iptables command in the boot.local but nothing happened.
