iptables generator

Today I was trying to find a good iptables generator program, I tried to find gnome-lokkit when I stumbled apon this site:

http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/index.php

Maybe this can help those who are new to iptables, secure their system.

What this site does, is it gives you a form to fill, then it generates a shell script, simply copy and paste it into an editor, and save and execute.

The script will flush any current iptable info, just a heads up.

I would strongly recommend the use of shorewall: http://www.shorewall.net

Firehol is also great. With 6 lines of config, you can set up iptables for a LAMP server, and protect it from common threats (such as flooding attacks).
