You'll never be fully protected.

Yo allways could be tracked.

First of all: iptables (or a ncurses simple gui like arno-iptables-firewall) and... fail2ban :)

This must be the beginning of the hardening of a linux server

Allow what you need block everything else:
-A INPUT -s 66.66.66/32 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p udp -j DROP
-A INPUT -p tcp --syn -j DROP
