Deleted /etc/apf/apf

Question

OK, so I did something in the wrong place at the wrong time and ended up missing /etc/apf/apf. Ouch. apf is not running. Can someone pastebin/send me that file? Before my server dies from all sorts of attacks...

OK, to make it a good question: "How do I get this file back?", and I don't have a backup of it handy.

Ubuntu 14.04 Server x86_64
Intel 8-core Xeon @ 3.5GHz

I don't feel that this is a duplicate, because I cannot find this package using apt. I tried that already.

I don't have it, but in the mean time, if you have a Live CD try booting another PC with it and install the firewall in a live session; or in a virtual machine, then just copy the file. — eridani, Mar 10 '16 at 05:08

You mean this package? http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=apf-firewall — muru, Mar 12 '16 at 04:28
I tried that ^ and it didn't restore the config. I figure that I must have a custom build of it (a lot of stuff on my server is custom - hard to fix, but high performing...) — Daniel, Mar 12 '16 at 04:41

I think you might need to reinstall the file as you don't have the backup. Please refer to the below URL to install the /etc/apf/apf file -
