here is a ruleset i have posted quite some time ago. Probably i would make it a bit differently today, but i think the (m)irc rules are still okay. others are free to correct me of course: http://www.commontology.de/security/firewalls/lns/lns-rules.html (Once i get to redo it, i will post the updated rules rather on http://www.commontology.de/security/firewalls/fire0.html than on the old lns ruleset page...)
