You mean the owner --uid match?
Yes sort of, but my was a different goal, I want just to disable any
kind of reply from a specific interface (usually WAN) unless there is
a listening socket, to mitigate port scanning and flood attacks
without having a firewall.

Obviously you can do it with a firewall,
but why do we have /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all when we can
drop ICMP echoes?
