seriously?

how was i attacked as i called it repeatly not smart even consider lower 
the default security..... a ton of services are listening on high ports 
these days and *incoming* the only needed rule is:

ACCEPT     all  --  *      *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0 
      ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED
