"established" means "ACK and not SYN", basicly.  Your "bad behavior" rules 
wouldn't really match anything which matches established, but it's probably 
better to block known-bad stuff earlier on.

However, it's not the same thing as stateful tracking, which you might want to 
consider using depending on what you're doing...
