View 3 Replies View RelatedDebian :: How To Use IPtables - Basic Firewall Setup
May 16, 2010Recently I have been working on iptables and trying to understand how to use it. Here's a little script I have written to setup a basic firewall for myself:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ `id -u` -ne 0 ]; then
echo "You need root privilege"
exit 1
fi
PROG=/sbin/iptables
$PROG -F
function sethttp {
echo "Opening http port..."
$PROG -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
}
function sethttps {
echo "Opening https port..."
$PROG -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
}
function settorrent {
echo "Opening torrent port..."
$PROG -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 52413 -j ACCEPT
}
while getopts "hst" option; do
case "$option" in
h) sethttp;;
s) sethttps;;
t) settorrent;;
*) echo "DOH!"
esac
done
$PROG -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$PROG -A OUTPUT -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$PROG -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
$PROG -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT
$PROG -A INPUT -j DROP
$PROG -A FORWARD -j REJECT
echo "Done setting up the firewall! Enjoy :)"
exit 0
OK, this can take 3 arguments that open ports 80, 443 and 52413. And at the end, some default rules are applied. But here's the thing I don't understand:
if I don't give the argument for port 80, I can still view web pages... and also, when I remove the line:
Code:
$PROG -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
Whether I say it to open port 80 or not, I can't view any web pages.
Networking :: Setup Firewall / Sys1 Is Not Connected To Firewall For Testing Purpose?
May 18, 2010I am learning to setup firewall in my home for that i have selected four system(sys1,sys2....sys4) for testing .I have configured sys2 to act as a firewall with two NIC. sys3 and sys4 are inside the firewall . sys1 is not connected to firewall for testing purpose.
the IP assignments are follows :
sys1 : ( fedora, not connected to firewall i am thinking, But i am not sure )
IP : 192.168.2.1 ,
gateway : blank
dns1 : blank
dns2 : blank
sys2 firewall ,IPTABLES )
code....
what happened is that sys1(not connected to firewall) can ssh to sys4(connected,inside firewall),since the rules are written not to ssh form sys1 to sys4..
then I came to know whatever the request I give, It directly goes as sys1 --> sys4. Not as sys1-----> sys2(firewall)---> sys4 .and the firewall is not filtering and processing anything for both inbound and outbound (i think it's my mistake some where). the requests are directly going inside without firewall.

Jun 10, 2010What is a good IP filter/firewall program? Seeing as how I like free softwares, I download a lot of torrents. When I was using Windows, I used PeerBlock (the newer fork of PeerGuardian), however, it's not available for Linux. What would be a good alternative for this in Linux? I tried iplist as it has a GUI, and it was extremely buggy and blocked random web pages even after I put them on the exceptions list. And MoBlock has no GUI from I understand, nor has it been updated in years.

Oct 2, 2010I'm looking for a good hardware firewall that will run on an older pc (ie 512 MB RAM and 1GHZ CPU) FOSS is preferable, but not required. I've tried Astaro, but it refuses to load after a restart. I'm hoping for AV as I support Windoze clients, and a VPN. Past that, I can deal with anything.

But I am so confused with how this ufw application works.

When do I need to do that? Also what's an SSH server?

Jul 24, 2010I'm trying to get OpenMPI (a parallel programming library) working on my home system. I have just two machines on it now, t61 and quad, connected through a router. (Which is also connected to cable modem for internet.) I can ssh between the machnes, mount directories with NFS, etc. However, I just can't get the OpenMPI to run. The OpenMPI message board suggested that the most probable cause is that the firewall is blocking TCP. I don't know how to tell if that's the problem, and can't find any manual for the SuSE firewall, while the various Wikis &c that pop up in a search don't provide any information that addresses my problem.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSecurity :: Firewall Infront Of Router Setup?
Mar 9, 2011I am trying to setup a firewall using Centos 5.5. The machine has 2 NICs, one connecting to the ISP/Modem and the other connected to a DIR-655 wireless router. The nic is connecting to the internet port on the router.
I do not want DHCP on the Firewall machine but on the wireless router.
[ISP/Modem]<--->[machine eth0]<--->[machine eht1]<--->[DIR-655 internet port]
IP from ISP Dynamic 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2
IP's on the DIR-655 LAN will be 124.168.0.0/24 network lets say.
I have setup routes on the eth0 192.168.0.0/24 and 124.168.0.0/24
and added 124.168.0.0/24 to eth1.
I can ping eth0 and eth1 but cannot ping 192.168.1.2.
this setup is not actually connected to the internet so I disabled iptables to try testing the ping and still no good.

Networking :: Setup A Firewall In Home Network Environment
May 2, 2010I am attempting to set up a firewall in my home network environment. the rest of the environment is windows, sorry I am attempting now so bear with me. what I have is a cable modem coming in, then my fedora 11 box with 2 nics, then the wireless router and the rest of the network.
everything works fine until I put the linux box in. If I put the firwall in the firewall sees the internet but the wireless router directly after does not. I am doing something wrong with the dhcp I am guessing. I dont want the firewall to give the address to the network I want the router to. I tried to get the firewall to do it (yum install dhcp leafnode) but it kept saying something didn't work right.
so I figure I will let the cable modem give the firewall an ip and the router give the rest of the network their ip's but how do I get the firewall and router to see each other and allow passthrough?
Security :: Dedicated Firewall - Network Setup With Two Servers In DMZ
Jan 3, 2011I currently want to set up a network with 2 Ubuntu servers (mail and web) in a DMZ in order to separate them from an internal network. I want to use a dedicated Linux firewall. This firewall will have 3 network interfaces on it. One network interface will connect to the external router/modem (router and modem in one box), one interface will connect to the DMZ and the other interface will connect to the internal network. The router/modem lets you put, I think it's 1 or 2, interfaces in a DMZ.
But, when I think of any of the dedicated firewall's or servers' interfaces it doesn't make sense to me to put any of them in the router/modem's DMZ (I think it would be better for the dedicated firewall's and the servers' interfaces to have static private I.Ps ie 192.168.2.4 etc right?). What I mean is that even if, as far as the router/modem is concerned, none of the interfaces were in a DMZ, the area where the servers are would still effectively be a perimeter network and with such a set up would still be, effectively,a DMZ, right?

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Outbound Firewall Protection (permissive Vs. Restrictive) - What's Setup?
Dec 18, 2010Using Windows, I always set a Restrictive firewall policy with a third party firewall. But I also had all ports set to Stealth, something that appears to not offer any security benefits (as I've learned from reading Ubuntu forums). I'd like to learn about best security practices (under Ubuntu) for outgoing firewall protection. I will be using the built-in Ubuntu firewall that is configured via Firestarter. Outgoing filtering offers privacy as well as security benefits. But I thought I needed my ports stealthed to be safe too, so I'm open to learning new things.
I wanted to start a poll to find out how many folks use permissive/restrictive, but no polls allowed here apparently.Could Ubuntu users knowledgeable about firewalls enlighten me on whether I should go Outbound-Restrictive and what applications I will need to allow so Ubuntu "housekeeping" is not affected negatively? I basically just use the internet for software updates, web-surfing and e-mail. One question I have is whether there is something comparable in Ubuntu to Window's "DNS Client" service? I always disabled Window's "DNS Client" and forced each application to request port 53 DNS lookups itself.I only had to allow four programs to accomplish all internet traffic that I engage in. I set all other programs/applications to be either Blocked or to have to Ask for an outgoing connection as needed.Here is my former Windows XP setup:
svchost.exe: allow UDP for ports 53, 67, 68, 123 (time) and TCP for ports 80, 443
Avast: allow UDP for port 53 and TCP for port 80
firefox: allow UDP for port 53 and TCP for ports 80, 443
IE: allow UDP for port 53 and TCP for ports 80, 443

Fedora :: Ubuntu's Smooth LCD Fonts In 11 For Dummies?
Jun 25, 2009Compare Fedora's default fonts with Ubuntu's here and here. This is basically a simple "cheat" version for F11 of Breb's original thread, that thread has links to some excellent resources and info if you want to really understand what's going on.
UPDATE: directfb and xcb-util packages must be installed, check by doing: 'yum install directfb xcb-util' 0. In your home directory create a file named .Xresources (don't forget the dot) with this line:
Code:
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
1. Now, as root, create a directory for the libs that we will replace, and backup the current libs:
Code:
su -
mkdir -p ufonts/fedora
cd ufonts
cp -a /usr/lib/lib{cairo,freetype,pixman,Xft}* fedora/
(For x86_64, replace /usr/lib/ by /usr/lib64/ in the above and everywhere below)
2. Extract the required ubuntu libs from these debian packages, libcairo2, libfreetype6, libxft2, libpixman-1-0 or just unpack one of these tarballs 32bit libs, 64bit libs so that you have these libs in ufonts/ (64bit sizes will be larger):
Code:
$ ls -l
...
drwxrwxr-x. 2 user user 4096 2009-06-25 20:37 fedora

Feb 5, 2011I need some help desperately. I am trying to install Series 7 for Dummies on Zorin OS 4. I was able to get Wine to recognize the program by copying the .exe files from the CD to the hard drive as the CD installation directly wasn't working. Now however the prompted Series 7 installation window that asks you to "Accept" or "Decline" will not move when I click "Accept". How can I resolve this? I am thinking it has something to do with either Java or Flash since this is an interactive program where multiple-choice questions are answered by clicking on them.
