I have a linux firewall. I want to limit a ssh connection number from local network to internet .
Example :
Internal pc (192.168.0.10) start a ssh scan to the external (internet) host.
I want that iptables limit that host (192.168.0.10) and block ssh connection from this host at 3 attempt.
I'm trying to limit the number of the ICMP packets reaching my server, so I'm using the limit module of iptables, unfortunately it seems the limit I set is totally ignored as I can easily send tens of ICMP packets and get a reply in less than 0.3 second Quote:
m3xican@m3xtop:~$ sudo ping -i0 -c20 x.x.x.x 20 packets transmitted, 20 received, 0% packet loss, time 230ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 184.969/185.895/189.732/1.301 ms, pipe 16, ipg/ewma 12.138/186.232 ms This is the rule I'm using to accept ICMP packets (default setting is DROP)
Code:
iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -m limit --limit 1/s -j ACCEPT
And these are the kernel modules related to iptables
Code:

I am at a loss how to prevent Denial of Service attacks to port 25 and not block legitimate connections from 2 Barracuda 800(s) and block smart phones such as iPhones/Blackberrys/iPhones that use the server smtp.server.com for email.
Presently for port 25
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
The 2 Barracuda 800(s) make port 25 connections all the time, plus users with smart_phones have the incoming server type:
IMAP
pop.server.com
smtp.server.com
Is there a way to keep Denial of Service attacks from happening with iptables rules without causing blocking to the Barracuda(s) that make constant port 25 connections & smart phones that poll? I was thinking if I allowed the Barracuda(s) in these lines
-s (barracuda)24.xx.xx.xx -d (emailserver)24.00.xx.xx -p tcp -m tcp --dport 25 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
Where the source would be the Barracuda going to the email server. It would be allowed, then I am left with how to allow other connections like Smart_Phones that connect via Port 25. I am thinking if I put rules in place doing connection counts in a minute it would result in errors connecting to the server and people would start complaining. Plus any limiting may result in blocking real traffic. Then would I need to allow the ISP range in the above example to accept port 25, I am still left with how to drop a flood/denial of service attack.
Can I, with only the use of IPTABLES, limit the incoming bandwith for a protocol? We have for example servers that have a FTP and HTTP server running and whenever HTTP has a lot of connections open, the other uploads/downloads get a timeout. I know I can limit the number of connections but prefer to limit on protocol level. Is this possible using IPTABLES and if so, can someone indicate how to proceed or provide a link? If it's not possible can someone point me to the right tool for the job?

ptables -A PREROUTING -s 178.33.23.44 -t mangle -j MARK --set-mark 2
ptables -A PREROUTING -s 178.33.23.45 -t mangle -j MARK --set-mark 2
ptables -A PREROUTING -s 178.33.23.46 -t mangle -j MARK --set-mark 2
ptables -A PREROUTING -s 178.33.23.47 -t mangle -j MARK --set-mark 2
and now I just need the tc command to read those marks and limit bandwidth, I have a gigabit connection and would like to limit each of these ip addresses to 10mbit in and out.
I'm trying to limit access to port 8443 on our server to 2 specific IP addresses. For some reason, access is still being allowed even though I drop all packets that aren't from the named IP addresses. The default policy is ACCEPT on the INPUT chain and this is how we want to keep it for various reasons I wont get into here. Here's the output from iptables -vnL
[Code]...
Note the actual IP we are using is masked here with 123.123.123.123. Until I can get everything working properly, we're only allowing access from 1 IP instead of 2. We can add the other one once it all works right. I haven't worked with iptables very much. So I'm quite confused about why packets matching the DROP criteria are still being allowed.
Is there a way to create a guest account and have Ubuntu "automagically" limit the amount of time the user can access the Internet? So, for example, could she set up an account for her son and limit his Internet access to an hour at a time?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to configure my Linux router to restrict Internet access for one computer on my LAN. It needs to be restrictive based on the time of day and the days of the week. I am using the MAC address of the computer to single out the one computer that needs to be blocked. However, this is my first attempt at making any rules with iptables, and I am not sure if I am doing this right. If some one can take a look at this I would greatly appreciate it. This is what I have done so far.
Here is my thinking. Create a new target. Check the MAC address, if it is NOT the offending computer return to the default chain. If it is the offending computer check that we are between the allowed hours and dates and ACCEPT. If we are not within the time/date range then drop the packet.
Code:
Here I am trying to route all packets regardless of the computer on the LAN into the blocked_access chain for checking.
Code:
Is it a good idea to route all traffic through the blocked_access chain? I do run other servers that are accessible from the Internet, so I am not sure how this setup will affect that. I also use shorewall on the router to setup iptables for me. How would I integrate this with shorewall?
I am using squid to block access when he is using the web browser. However, he is still able to play games(World of Warcraft) and the like.
I am using Debian sid, iptable(1.4.6), shorewall(4.4.6), kernel 2.6.32-trunk-686.
I have two networks. One of them is wired, the other is wireless. The wired has an internet connection and a few other computers connected to it. The wireless network has a few hosts connected to it too, but it has no internet connection. What I've been trying, fruitlessly, to do, is make all connections that are bound to the internet, or my wired network, be routed that way, and all the connections to the hosts of the wireless network go that way.
Here's the setup..
Wired:
192.168.1.0/24 Gateway = 192.168.1.1
Route internet through here
Wireless
192.168.2.0/24 Gateway = 192.168.2.1
If my computer sends a packet to the internet, it should be routed through 192.168.1.1 If I send a packet to one of the local hosts of the wireless network, it should be routed through 192.168.2.1. Here's the routing table I've set up(This is one of many configurations I've tried)
Code:
$ ip route show
192.168.2.1 dev wlan0 scope link
192.168.2.0/24 via 192.168.2.1 dev wlan0 src 192.168.2.4
[code]....
With this, and everything else, I get destination host unreachable when pinging. The strange thing is that, if I unplug my eth cable, reboot and connect to the wireless network, everything is fine and I can access the router and the others. I'm trying to improve my networking skills, as I've had this of setting up a small linux box as a router for quite some time, for the fun of it, but I need to get routing under control before I go ruin my network.
I am running a desktop not a server. As far as i am aware of no server stuff is installed or tunning that does not come with the standard ubuntu 10.04 install. I tried using sudo iptables -A INPUT -s xx.xx.xx.xx -j DROP , it works sometines , then sometimes it does not. Some that it seems to block just come back in about 15 to 20 minutes. On this one in particular i get the following error :
sudo iptables -A INPUT -s 222-208-183-218 -j DROP
iptables v1.4.4: host/network `222-208-183-218' not found
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
I'm having problems with hackers from across the globe trying to get into our servers. Why? i have no clue. nothing of value in my servers worth getting.
Right now my service only does business with USA. So I'm trying to find a way to block all Non USA traffic. I called my hosting provider and they are unable to help. Said it was up to me to do this.
Well I've already taken care of the TCP Wrappers. by spawning a small C program i made that uses MaxMind's GeoIP system. to automatically deny access. Now i need to do something about all the other network connections that come in to services that do not use the TCP wrappers.
So i was wondering if IPTABLES have a way to spawn a sub proccess like TCP wrappers or if there was any other firewall software out there for linux that would let me achieve my goal.
I Have Ubuntu 9.10 Server installed and for some reason after updating our server with the ubuntu update manager, we can no longer connect to the network via remote desktop, let alone not even able to ping.

Does anyone know a simple out of the box option to limit traffic by IP with iptables? Output to each connected IP should be limited to to 1.5Mbps but I don;t want to limit incoming connections from the web. Ideally something with a tutorial because the LARC papers and stuff are impossible to read. For example, the user connects by VPN and requests the webpage [URL]. This should be sent to them at 1.5Mbs but if user 2 connects to [URL], this should also be sent at 1.5Mbps but the incoming ..... connection needs to be allowed to be unlimited to prevent incoming throttling..
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a wireless cable modem/router and a PCI-E 1x wireless card in my desktop PC. It works perfectly until I connect my Ethernet cable to my local router and printer, no more internet connection. I am guessing there is a setting somewhere that tells the networking software that the hard wire connection is the primary internet gateway. How do I tell it to use the wireless as the primary gateway?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm a newbie in the world of netfilter/iptables. I've read an article about iptables and rate limit module:
Code: iptables -A INPUT -p ICMP --icmp-type echo-request -m limit --limit 1/minute --limit-burst 5 -j ACCEPT The firewall will let the first 5 packets in in the first minute, -limit-burst 5; this means, however, that the packets/minute now is 5, so any further packets are blocked until packets/minute = 1, i.e. 5 minutes later. In the sixth minute, packets/minute will be 5/6 < 1, so another ping request will be let in. When the extra ping request is admitted, the ratio becomes 6/6 = 1 again, and packets are DROPped again until the next minute.
Now I have some problems in understanding how it works.
For example: I want ping google.com in this way: the kernel firewall permits to send the first 5 packet to google.com (--limit-burst 5) and then it blocks the remaining packets for 5 minutes. At sixth minute (because I wish a limit rate equal to 1/minute: --limit 1/minute) one packet can send to google again. And so on.
So my rule should be:
Code: iptables -A OUTPUT -d url_of_google -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -m limit --limit 1/minute --limit-burst 5 -j ACCEPT In this way, if i digit
Code: ping -f url_of_gogle I expect that the first 5 packets are accepted (and so zero '.' will print on the screen) and then for the remaining 5 minutes no one packets will be accepted (and so a long string of '.' will print). But it doesn't work...
In man pages of ping we read (about -f option):
-f Flood ping. Outputs packets as fast as they come back or one hundred times per second, whichever is more. For every ECHO_REQUEST sent a period ``.'' is printed, while for every ECHO_REPLY received a backspace is printed. This provides a rapid display of how many packets are being dropped.

I dual boot windows xp and ubuntu 10.04 LTS and the wireless card works perfectly fine in xp so I know its not a hardware/network issue. In ubuntu, it detects wireless networks, will connect to network and work for about 20 seconds.

and it continues on after this alternating between a normal 20ms and high ping over 200ms. The connection refuses to load anything off the internet/local network.
I am currently working on a project related to packet sniffing which has been implemented using the concept of raw sockets. I am using C language.I am able to decode the following details from the packets received from a local network,like:
source and Destination Mac Address
source and Destination IP Address
source and Destination port no
But I am having trouble in decoding the domain name when an user in the local network is logging onto internet.For eg. if a user in the local network is trying to log on to web using his browser say if he has logged on to url then from the packet I need to get the following details
source Mac Address from which user had logged on
source IP Address from which user had logged on
domain name

I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 11.04 on my server about 2 weeks ago, I setup remote desktop and figured to just leave the password field out as it suppose to be pre-configured to only accept local connections, well, apparently not. I was noticing some strange network activity and checked my router connections and sure enough I see port 5900 to the server, open vino icon and see that there is someone else connected! (IP of unauthorized user: 77.29.51.239 ).. Immediately kick them and set a password. This should really be addressed and/or a password should be defaulted or at the very least the "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network." should be removed.
