[ale] iptables: DROP vs. REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset

[Mike Millson]

Right now my iptables firewall is set up to DROP all undesirable TCP
packets. However, I have read that DROP can be a giveaway that you are
running a firewall. Is it better to try to look like you don't have a
firewall and use REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset? What are good scenarios to
use REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset?

Thank you,
Mike
