Delete iptables Rule - The Easy Way

Iptables is the name of the basic firewall installed in linux servers.

Check if iptables has listed your IP.
----
root@server1 [~]# iptables -nL | grep 115.248.152.21
DROP all -- 115.248.152.21 0.0.0.0/0
DROP all -- 0.0.0.0/0 115.248.152.21
----

Run iptables-save | grep 115.248.152.21 to get the exact rule command used to enabled the block. You will get output similar to this:
----
root@server1 [~]# iptables-save | grep 115.248.152.21
-A LOCALINPUT -s 115.248.152.21/32 ! -i lo -j DROP
-A LOCALOUTPUT -d 115.248.152.21/32 ! -o lo -j DROP
----
Take this command, replace the -A with -D and run it through iptables.
----
root@server1 [~]# iptables -D LOCALINPUT -s 115.248.152.21/32 ! -i lo -j DROP
root@server1 [~]# iptables -D LOCALOUTPUT -d 115.248.152.21/32 ! -o lo -j DROP
----
Thats It. :)

Nokia Lumia 900 to Hammer Nails

These days, cell phones do more than just make phone calls and send SMS messages. Really, it's not fair to call these multi-tools 'phones' when they're capable of so much more. The phones of today allow you to email, online bank, take pictures and videos, share content with friends, play games, and video chat and manufacturers are introducing new features all the time. In fact, this past weekend, Nokia posted a video showcasing the Lumia 900's abilities as a hammer.

"The [Lumia 900] is constructed of a uni-body polycarbonate shell that can withstand drops, scrapes and dings. On the face of the phone, you’ll find Gorilla Glass from Corning that is really tough," said Nokia's Jason Harris.

"Our quality engineers wanted to put the quality of the Lumia 900 to the test and created this video. You can see a hammer and nails being applied to the screen and even using the Lumia 900 as a hammer. And through all this, the screen looks great."

Check the video below:

If they don't sell, Nokia employees might be nailing the last nails in Nokia's High End Line coffin with this!
