Good Afternoon,

I have used UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) for a number of years and it 
has performed very well, for the most part just the default 
configuration is what I have been using.

Now I need to add a three of rules and I do not know how to translate 
them from iptable notation to UFW notation. The rules folow (in iptable 
format):

1. ipchains -A input -p icmp --icmp-type address-mask-requests -j DROP
2. ipchains -A input -p icmp --icmp-tyoe timestamp-request -j DROP
3. ipchains -A output -p icmp --icmp-type timestamp-reply - j DROP

I am not at all sure how to translate these into UFW notation. Help, please.

The above entries have to do with compliance with PCI DSS. From an 
entity that will be processing credit card payments for a company I 
volunteer working with as treasurer.

Current software in use is: 16.04.3 server

Thanks,
Jay
