If the packets are reaching your machine and being processed (such as
via iptables), then it's too late. Software packet filters (such as
ZoneAlarm or, as you mentioned, iptables) are merely casual firewall
protection. Some will be better than others, of course, but if you're
going to be keeping the same kernel for a couple of years, at least put
it behind an actual firewall. It's not just your box that is effected.
Everyone on the internet is effected when your box gets taken over.
