Solution for ICMP timestamp response in VAPT report

975148Nov 14 2014 — edited Nov 15 2014

There was a vulnerability test run on our developmental server having Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.11 (Tikanga) as the OS. There is one point among others of concern here; it is to do with ICMP timestamp response. The solution suggested is:

ipchains -A input -p icmp --icmp-type timestamp-request -j DROP

ipchains -A output -p icmp --icmp-type timestamp-reply -j DROP

When I gave the command,

ipchains -A input -p icmp --icmp-type timestamp-request -j DROP

it gave the message as below

-bash: ipchains: command not found

Please suggest how to go about it.

Please revert with the reply to my query.

Regards
