A few notes.....

1) Do you have an actual use case where an iptables '-j DROP' isn't usable?

2) You *do* realize that this isn't anywhere near sufficient in order
to actually make your machine "invisible", right?  (Hint: What *other*
packets can be sent to a machine to provoke a response?)

3) At least my copy had massive whitespace damage, where all the tab characters
appear to have evaporated....
