I have a caching dns and SNMP ( MRTG ) both on the same server how can I permit dns and snmp traffic in INPUT chain?? I have tried the following:
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --sport 1024:65535 --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --sport 53 --dport 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --sport 1024:65535 --dport 161:162 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --sport 161:162 --dport 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT
I don't know if FC15 has the iptable rules like the ones shown below by default or not but I wanted a second opinion about the safety they provide. Why is icmp accepted (INPUT rule 1) from/to all ip? and is it better to remove this rule? When the protocol is all (INPUT rule 2), does it mean from ip layer and above?? and is it required/safe to have this rule? The 3rd rule is to allow tcp-port 22 connections (ssh) to/from all ip. I think this is correctly set and required. The 4th rule in INPUT table rejects pings with the icmp-host-prohibited message; which I don't think is the best solution. Instead it can be set to silently drop icmp packets. Then, the FORWARD table uses reject instead of silent drop for forwarding icmp ping packets.
Code:
what do you think about the new rules and their order?
I've configured iptables to act as a stateful firewall, but instead of simply rejecting packets I'd like to waste a potenial hackers time by droping any packet that would otherwise be returned. Are my rules sufficient or have I somehow opened myself up to an attacker by trying to write these rules myself?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set up a firewall at the moment that allows access to my custom SSH port from only my friend's url (they have a static url but dynamic IP). I find iptables a bit of a nightmare and was hoping to use UFW for most of my day to day firewall maintenance and just make a few extra iptable rules to cover exceptional circumstances like this. Fortunately it seems UFW allows this with /etc/ufw/before.rules and /etc/ufw/after.rules. So at the moment I'm just trying to get the basic iptables rules right. As I say I'm not very good with iptables, does this look right?
Code:
## Drop Default SSH port access With Logging

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -j SSH_DEFAULT

I recently set up a ftp server in my house running a dyndns service so I can get to it from the outside. I called my isp to get some help in setting up the router to forward port 21 from the outside to that box, and in short we had some problems. Long story short, they ended up bypassing the router itself, and now the line running to the box is its own fixed external ip. Naturally I want a pretty darn good iptables setup for this. The box runs proftpd and so far my iptables only accepts local loopback and port-21. (I left port 80 closed as its only purpose is to be a standalone ftp server) But I know there must be a safer rule for port 21, as right now its just wide open. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this a bit safer? Also would that command be fine for any of the linux machines im connecting to it from the outside too?

I understand 1 and 2, 1 creates the new syn_flood chain and 2 redirects all SYN requests to the new syn_flood chain.
I'm having trouble understanding 3 and 4. can someone explain to me in laymen terms the --limit 1/s and --limit-burst 3?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having a Xen server xend daemon is taking care of giving interface names like vif1.0 or vif0.2 to the connected guest operating systems on it.I can not save the current IPTABLE rules since upon reboot the xend daemon gives different names to virtual ethernet interfaces i.e. vif1.0 or vif3.0 or vif9.0 like that.I have some rules that I want to be active upon subsequent reboots and not all.Say for example an SSH to external server at port 8000 should forward the request to a machine on LAN.Which I have done by port forwarding from IPTABLES.So I need to save some rules.I was thinking to make a script which on reboot activates those rules.
I am not clear on where to do that.I came across internet and found /etc/network/if-up.d/I am not clear with this directory my question is if I make a scrip which has IPTABLE rules as I want and save it in above folder will it work. I am not clear with what is /etc/network/if-up.dfor.Suppose my logic is wrong then how should I go for it.Also I want to know does a protocol uses two port to make a connection.I have forgotten that thing,i.e if I run an SMTP or ssh then do they use port 22 and 23 both in case of ssh or 25 and 26 both for SMTP like that or just specifying the rules for one port will be enough.I tested these rules in a secure environment where i had disabled firewall and ssh forwarding on router worked well
Is there a way to check older iptable rules that were loaded? I accidentally overwrote my iptables and that has killed internet access to all computers in the intranet. I must have accidentally deleted some line in the iptable rules and cannot figure how to get it back to how it was. I am using Debian 5.05 by the way.

I need help creating an iptable rule. The iptables are installed on my router. My router also connects to a "hide my a**" vpn account
at 79.142.65.5:443 The goal is to somehow force the traffic to go through the vpn, because what sometimes happens is, the vpn connection drops (for what ever reason) and my real ip becomes exposed. Basically, I want to block "myself" from accessing the Internet when not connected to the vpn because of privacy concerns.
Below is my iptables. It has the 3 default chains and it also has many custom user chains. I need to know what kind of a rule to add, What interface to apply it to (lo,tun0,br-lan,eth1) and the correct chain to insert into.For example, you could tell me something like:
Quote:
FORWARD chain, change rule 1 to
iptables -R FORWARD 1 -j zone_wan_MSSFIX -p tcp --destination-port 443 -i eth1
Obviously, That was just a guess, I need someone that knows iptables to help me.
Code:
Chain INPUT (Policy: ACCEPT)
Rule # Traffic Target Prot In Out Source Destination Options
Rule 1 72.95 KB DROP all * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state INVALID
Rule 2 1.11 GB ACCEPT all * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED

I have a server that is on a high port number, and people want it on port 80. For root exploit issues people say the server can not run as root. So to solve things I want to redirect port 80 to a high port number, say 12345 on the machine. This has been discussed all over the web, so I find I need to do this:
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 123.45.67.89 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 12345
/sbin/iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables
And I do this, an voila things work for the whole world. All machines in the world can see the server on port 80 on the machine.Except, on the machine itself. On the machine 123.45.67.89, I try to get to the server on 123.45.67.89:80, I get a can't connect error. On the machine if I try 123.45.67.89:12345 I can connect.What am I doing wrong here? I don't want localhost network really, I want the ip address and port, but I want the forwarding to work on the local machine. But it doesn't...

I wanted to know how to allow certain applications through the outbound tables. For example, I wish to be able to use tools such as nmap,tracepath, and traceroute. However, I am not sure where to look to understand the ports to open. I was starting to think that maybe rather than ports to open it would need to be somehthing like tcp flags that would ned to be allowed. Any way, I have tried google and am still haing problems. I started wanting to use these tools due to getting ready for my network+ and security+ certs.
