Ubuntu Security :: UFW Block ICMP When Add Non ICMP Related Rule
May 21, 2011
I am setting up a virtual server. Ubuntu 11.04, "minimal provider image".UFW was disabled by default. I set it to default deny. Allowed HTTP, SSH and other standard stuff, and enabled it. All seems to be OK. Adding one rule to block some annoying security scanners causes ping not to work. I'm not an Iptables expert, but it looks OK to me. I got it from some website, rather than invented it myself, but modified to to fit the ufw config file syntax. What in that rule prevents pings?!? It seems completely unrelated.

i've tried blocking ping requests with iptables.. and it didnt work Quote: iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP
also tried editing sysctl.conf.. which worked perfectly but after i restarted the system i was able to ping my ubuntu machine from my lappy here is what i added to sysctl.conf and then executed it with sysctl -p
Quote: net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all = 1 here is another atempt to block.. this one worked too... but again after the restart i was able to ping my machine.. Quote: echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all

Installed Ubuntu Server 10.10, included Apache, PHP, and OpenSSH. Apache is up and serving pages, I can connect using PuTTY no problem. Server responds to a pingHowever, attempting to use ping or traceroute from the server results in a Destination Unreachable. Happens even for other 192.168.1.10x boxes on the local network

I was trying to write IPTABLES script to block the ICMP ping using the below mentioned command in OpenSUSE 11.2 Doing this in VMware.....
iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p icmp -j DROP
& then I tried to ping the different computer & it didnt allow me to ping.
Then I deleted using the command -
iptables -D OUTPUT -o eth0 -p icmp -j DROP
then I couldnt ping also. Another thing I found is my firefox is not connecting to the internet as well, but before writing the script, I can connect to internet.
I did a "dhclient" & iptables -F....

I need to allow ICMP ping for one host only. I found out how to enable it to all hosts (ICMP Filtering, check ping) but I would like to reduce the scope to one host. I know I can add rules in the user_post script but I can't find the correct iptables command ...

Brief overview of my current setup:
Code:
The ip_blacklist chain is used to immediately drop any traffic from specified address ranges, while the tcp_, udp_, and icmp_packets chains contain rules for further processing of those protocols. The last rule in each of the latter three chains drops all packets that didn't match any rules above it; so tcp, udp, and icmp packets should NOT get caught by the default INPUT policy (DROP). The goal of the last rule on the INPUT chain is to then log any packets that are picked up by the default policy. However, it's not working.
I can tell that there are packets being picked off by the default policy because the counters are being incremented, but nothing is logged by that last rule. My conclusion is that it's only looking for tcp, udp, and icmp packets and ignoring everything else.
How to get iptables to log all the other protocols (or whatever is being caught by the default policy)?

For example, can I write something to the effect: block all outbound UDP connections over port 53 except those going to IP 123.456.789. Or stated another way: Block outbound to port 53/udp NOT going to ip address 123.454.678Is it possible to do this? How would I write the argument?

I run a linux box as a gateway behind a satellite modem. The internet link over the satellite modem is only 1mbit so the usage often reaches 100% when someone is downloading/uploading something. I am seeing my ping return time jump from 700ms to 6000ms if someone tries to upload a file (by sending a attachment in a email etc). The satellite operator is saying this is normal, but I have my doubts.
Has ICMP got a lower priority? Should I really be seeing this behaviour? I understand that if it was a TCP packet then it would just be queued until the previous acknowledgement has been received. And if it was a UDP packet then it would have been dropped, but how does ICMP deal with these situations during heavy traffic?

Is there a way to set the IP that's returned in an ICMP TTL exceeded packet? Reason I ask is I have an edge router with several upstreams, and several downstream routers, and when I traceroute to it I would like only one of it's IP's to show up in the trace (Instead of each . Much like some of the larger ISP's do to mask the IP and hostname of their internal routers.. Is this possible?

In Lucid I have some ufw rules but I figured that I need to limit the ICMP messages that the box responds to and also limit their number. There are iptables rules to accomplish this but since I already have ufw rules it is safe to use iptables only for ICMP rules ?

I'm facing a strange problem. I have a Debian squeeze machine connected to Internet through a 3G USB modem. The machine connects as expected, and I can resolve domain names and establish HTTP and SSH connections.The problem is when I try to communicate to that machine from another PC connected to Internet. The machine doesn't respond to PING and I can't connect to the SSHD installed in it. If I connect the machine to the local network, it works right.
route:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0[code]...........

I have a C program which does.
1. Creates a UDP socket
2. Send the UDP Request packet to the TFTP server.
3. If the TFTP server is not listening in the 69 port, the remote machine send an ICMP ("Port Unreachable") message.
Is there a way to receive a notification from the Linux kernel on receipt of an ICMP packet to the created UDP socket.

icmp request from an ip that is in the same network as one of the local interfaces is not responded to, if the ping request is received via an interface in a different network. Is this some security feature?
Consider the below network
x.1|RTR1|-y.1---------y.2-|RTR2|-z.2------z.3-|LNX|-x.3
RTR - Router
x.1 -> 192.168.x.1
LNX - Linux machine

So im trying to get an icmp tunnel setup using ptunnel. When I run it under the same network and use to connect to RDP, it works fine, however when go outside my network and connect in, it does not get anywhere. I can confirm that I have forwarded ICMP packets to the server (if I ping the external ip it will show the status of the server if I unplug it) and that the server is showing signs of registering it.
On the client it just tries to resend the packet "Resending packet with seq-no 0" Over and over Firewall is off for testing so thats not the issue.

I have a gateway server which is currently listening for TCP/UDP packets and authenticating clients if their details IP/MAC is known.
I have a couple of clients who's network equipment sends ICMP pings to a remote site to determine internet connectivity and I'm missing those resulting in the client's device not logging in.
Is there some way that I can write a listener similar to a listener for TCP/UDP sockets which will listen to ICMP packets and pick up the IP and MAC address of the sender upon which I can perform processing on?

I set up a static IPv6 address and a gateway in /etc/network/interfaces. However, a bad router in my network environment alway send wrong ICMP router discovery messages to me. So I have got extra (wrong) IPv6 address and gateway, and the routing is confused. On Windows Servers, I can use "netsh interface ipv6 set interface "Local Area Connection" routerdiscovery=disable" to disable ICMP router discovery. But I don't know how to disable it on Ubuntu 9.10. How could I disable ICMP router discovery for IPv6?

When I ping our Microsoft Windows terminal server "cluster" farm, I get ICMP warnings that there are duplicate packets. I am able to rdesktop to the cluster with no problems. We are trying to setup nagios to run on this Ubuntu configuration and nagios is reporting the following error:
"PING WARNING - DUPLICATES! Packet Loss=0%, RTA=.98ms.
FPing reports duplicates as well. Is there a setting in the Arp table that needs to be set differently because the "Cluster" MAC address isn't an actual hardware MAC but a virtual MAC address?

On my system, I have built my own tunneling protocol, where I relay packets over a non-standardized but verified medium. What I do is capture the packets using iptables and NFQUEUE, relay them over my medium, and at the other end I reinject them using raw sockets. The packet going into the tunnel is exactly the same as the one coming out, verified. The problem is that this doesn't work for ICMP Ping (Echo Request) if the destination of the ping is the same as the tunnel endpoint. If the destination is not the same as the tunnel endpoint, the ping packet is rerouted and arrives as it should at the receiver, and the ping reply comes back to the sender. Does anyone know whats going on? Isn't it possible to send raw icmp to yourself? If not, anyone have an idea what I should do instead?
