Ubuntu Security :: Set A Rule In Iptables, Does That Rule Also Apply To Ipv6, Or Just Ipv4?
Jul 16, 2010Question (and Google results aren't making this clear): Ubuntu has both iptables & ip6tables installed. 1. If I set a rule in iptables, does that rule also apply to ipv6, or just ipv4?
2. If "no" to above, then it would be prudent to *also* set ip6tables rules as well if I want to maintain an active firewall, correct?
3. Does ip6tables rules have the same syntax and behavior (more or less) to iptables rules - i.e. can I just copy my iptables rules & change "iptables" to "ip6tables"?
4. Any gotchas or issues that I should be aware of?
General :: IPTables - Need To Create Drop Rule
Apr 20, 2010Do I have to create a rule for:
Code:
$IPT -A fwalert -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,ACK SYN,ACK -m conntrack --ctstate NEW $RLIMIT -j LOG $LOGLIMIT --log-tcp-options --log-level 4 --log-prefix
to drop rather than log if my table has a default policy of drop with :
Code:
$IPT -t fwalert -P DROP
Programming :: Drop Packets (not Iptables) In C / C++
May 24, 2010I have tried to google it around and couldn't find any good solution for it. What I want is to hook up to the kernel network hooks and for example investigate all of the packets (maybe keep some in the buffer and drop in the kernel so I could send them out lets say 10 minutes later) but from a C / C++ program perspective / level. I know it can be done via iptables but isn't there a way to do it from a program ?? I have found a library called ipq but apparently doesn't work with kernel 2.6.x anymore.

Networking :: Route Eth2 TCP Packets To Tun0 With IPTABLES And IP RULE/ROUTE?
May 8, 2011I have 3 network interfaces on my Linux Router :
Interface - Gateway - Type
Code:
br0 - 192.168.0.1 - Internet
eth2 - 192.168.1.1 - LAN
tun0 - 10.0.0.2 - VPN (via br0)
What I'd like to do is to route all TCP packets coming from eth2 to tun0 where a VPN client is running on 10.0.0.2. If I delete all default routes and if I add a new route to tun0 like :
Code:
route del default
route add default gw 10.0.0.2
Everything is fine, and everyone on eth2 can reach the Internet using the VPN access. Now the problem is that my VPN client does not allow any other protocols other than TCP. And I also want to allow VPN access only to eth2, no other LAN nor the router itself. use iptables to filter any TCP packets and mark them, so they can be sent to tun0, while any other packets can reach the Internet via br0 (192.168.0.1). I found on the Internet that we can mark packets before they get routed. Using the following commands :
Code:
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j MARK --set-mark 85 -i eth2 -p tcp --dport 80
ip route add table 300 default via 10.0.0.2 dev tun0
ip rule add fwmark 0x55 table 300
First of all, --dport 80 never work... :/ I wanted to filter TCP 80 packets coming from eth2, but none of them seems to be HTTP packets... oO (very strange...). Nevermind, I decided to forget about the --dport option. I use the "iptables -L -v -t mangle" command to see how many packets are marked, and it is working fine, all TCP packets coming from eth2 are marked. Now the problem is that none of them are routed to tun0 they are all respecting the "route -n" rules... and not the "table 300" rule I have created.
CentOS 5 Networking :: IPTABLES - Should This Rule Take Care Of Port 5090?
Jun 6, 2010I am new to iptables. The setup tool on a VPS doesn't work. So, I am learning to insert rules. I have inserted so many and some of them show as duplicates now.
1- I want to know how to remove the duplicates. Is there a file that these rules are store in so I can go in and easily edit it?
2- Is there any other utility that handles firewall in Linux that I am unaware of? or is the iptables the ultimate door guard? This is a plain install of CentOS.
3- Since I believe I opened port 5090 but I think it still might be blocked, could SELINUX be the problem? How can I get my way around setting it to permissive or disable if I don't have access to "setup" command?
4- What is the order of iptables reading? does rule #1 supersede all other rules? or does the last rule supersede all rules prior to it?
5- Do the rules below make a fairly safe system? (except for the duplicates which should be remove) I understand that a safe system is dependent also on the applications that are allowed in this category and I am not talking about those. I am talking about dropping all other inquiries and in general is this how iptables are setup? This is what I currently have:
[root@tel ~]# service iptables status
Table: filter
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
num target prot opt source destination

Security :: Validate An IPTABLES Rule?
Dec 20, 2010I guess this is the right place to put questions about iptables, so forgive me if it is not.I have a MySQL database which I need to allow connections to: 1 - the internal network; 2 - the web server (Apache) connections;3 - A user who is out of this network in a range of dynamic IP.Let's suppose the range IP for this user is 179.4.247.0-179.4.247.254 and the server; where is MySQl and Apache is 60.22.30.232. This user will use the windows client MySQL tool to make connections into this database.
So I think these rule below allow connections to the internal network and apache:
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m state state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -m state state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

Security :: Setting Up A Specific Rule Using Iptables?
Apr 5, 2011My firewall , wich is an Ubuntu server 10.10 , have 3 interfaces:
eth0(192.168.0.254):linked to the DMZ
eth1(192.168.1.254):linked to the LAN
eth3(212.217.0.1):linked to the Internet
-The DMZ have one web server with a static address (192.168.0.1).
-My LAN address range is (192.168.1.2-192.168.1.100) managed by a DHCP server in the same firwall machine.
There are some of the rules that I need to set up :
-Allow HTTP between the LAN and the internet
-Allow HTTP between the web server in the DMZ, and the internet.
Is there a way to tell the firewall , to redirect all incoming HTTP requests only to the web server in the DMZ ?

Nov 26, 2010The iptables has every rule set correctly, the users in the subnet works great, but I have the following issue.every user connect to a mysql running on the internet through the port 3306, the forward and masquerade do the job. Now I have a user in the outside, and he wants to connect to a mysql in a certain machine (Not the gateway), prerouting rules solve my problems, but all the packages from the inside users goes now to that certain machine. I would like something like if the package passed trough masquerade don't pass trough the prerouting rule, and if it come from the outside (Not a package that come from a petition from the inside) pass trough the prerouting rule.
View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: IPTables - Setting Default Rules To All Chains As DROP
Jun 30, 2010I've read the instruction about setting up the iptables rules to filter all port except HTTP, SSH, FTP. I require first remove all default iptables rules and set default rules to all chains as DROP:
# Set default-deny policies for all three default chains
$IPTABLES -P INPUT DROP
$IPTABLES -P FORWARD DROP
$IPTABLES -P OUTPUT DROP
Then allow only some ports:
#Accept inbound packets that are part of previously-OK'ed sessions
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED
# Accept inbound packets which initiate SSH sessions
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp -j ACCEPT --dport 22 -m state --state NEW
# Accept inbound packets which initiate FTP sessions
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp -j ACCEPT --dport 21 -m state --state NEW
# Accept inbound packets which initiate HTTP sessions
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p tcp -j ACCEPT --dport 80 -m state --state NEW
# Log anything not accepted above $IPTABLES -A INPUT -j LOG --log-prefix "Dropped by default:"
But I hired a VPS from other country so the only mean I can manage it is via SSH. If I setup the default rule to DROP first, I afraid that I can no longer connect via SSH to tell iptables allow SSH
So my question is:
- Does the IP tables take effect immediately after I input a rule?
- Is there any mean to run this as a batch job (create a script and run all these rules one time).
- My VPS has a web control panel which have a terminal via web. Is this a native terminal or just a connection via port 80 or 22?

Apr 18, 2011Is there any way to verify if packets being trafficked over a certain port are valid for the service you want to use this port for?
One obvious example that probably clarifies my question:
When I open port 443 (outgoing or incoming) for https/ssl traffic, I don't want this port to be used for say openvpn traffic.
Thus: when someone wants to surf to a website with https, it should be ok but if someone wants to connect to his home openvpn server over that same port, it should be blocked.
Ubuntu Security :: Odd Port Scanning Results - 646 - Dropping Packets

Mar 30, 2011I have a server that I can only access via SSH (it's located far away) and I would like to secure it by blocking all ports except the ones that I need (which are HTTP and SSH). I still want to be able to make outgoing connections to enable software updates and other things.This is my iptables -L -n :
Code:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
DROP tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpts:1:21
DROP tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpts:23:79
DROP tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpts:81:65535
code....
In my opinion, this should block all incoming packets except the ones on port 80 and 22, but allow responses to outgoing connections. But a wget http://google.com does not work, it can't establish the connection.
Maybe this is not the best style for iptables rules, but I want to be absolutely sure to not accidently lock myself out from SSH, so I chose not to configure a "block-everything rule".
Does this configuration not enable incoming packets from connections initiated from inside?
Security :: Drop Inbound Traffic To Port 80 (http) From Source Ports Less Than 1024?
Feb 1, 2011I'm simply trying to make a little restriction on www packets under two rules:
1. Allow inbound/outbound www packets (works!)
2. DROP inbound traffic to port 80 from source ports less than 1024. (DOES NOT WORK!)
Now, technically, when i use hping to test my rules, hping3 192.168.100.100 -S -p80 -s 1023 I should NOT receive any packets. However, i still receive packets, which means my rule that says less than 1024 does not work. (see below)
And this is my iptables rules in shell-script so far:
#!/bin/sh
DEFAULT_NIC=eth0
SERVER_IP="192.168.100.100"
ALLOWED_WWW_PORT=80
IPT="/sbin/iptables"

Ubuntu Security :: Iptables Port 25 Is Open
Feb 28, 2011I've recently installed 10.10 server edition, and I must say it was a pleasant suprise, it's just the way I like it. I use it as a squeezebox-server. But I've run into a problem with the firewall. I did a portscan, which told me there are more ports open then I've told UFW to open. Among which port 25 and 119, when I telnet from another PC to those ports, the connection gets accepted, although there is no answer to any commands (as expected, there's no mail server running). Iptables print-outs also don't mention anything about the respective ports or a daemon that could be responsable, and the same applies to "ps -e" or "ps aux".
Iptables seems to be working, when I remove the rules to allow samba to work, I can't reach the shares, and when I insert them again I can reach the shares. "sudo ufw deny from any" as last rule doesn't change anything either (deny incoming is default (although I never issued the command "ufw status verbose" says it is) so it shouldn't, but ports 25 and 119 shouldn't be open either).

This what the rules are intended to do, unsure if that is actually the case. Allow all loopback traffic. Allow ping replys Allow incoming on port 12345 if eth0, deny otherwise. Allow outgoing on port 12346 if eth0, deny otherwise.

Security :: Port Mapping On A Machine Using Iptables?
Jan 9, 2010I want to do port mapping on a linux machine using iptables.I have a service listeneing on port 2000 udp and I want to add iptables rule, which will map incoming packets on port 2001 to port 2000, so that service will accept the connections.The idea is that I don't want to change the default port for the service, but to make internal port redirection from (2001 to 2000), so the default service port will be filtered by iptables, and the other port will be open to the outside. The internet host connects to the linux machine on port 2001. The linux machine change destiation port from 2001 to 2000 and the service (on the same machine) process the packets and accepts the connection.I tried adding the following to my iptables rules, but it didn't work out:
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -p udp --destination-port 2001 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p udp --dport 2001 -j REDIRECT --to-port 2000

Security :: IPtables And FTP When Server Listening On Non-Standard Port?
Nov 9, 2009I'm using iptables with modules ip_contrack_ftp to be able to use passive ftp. It works well as long as port 21 is being used as listening port. Is there any way to make it work when I configure my ftp server (vsftpd) to listen on an alternative port, lets say 21001 or something? The helper module only seems to be working properly with the standard port, so I was wondering whether there was a way to "tell it" that another port is being used? I mean, of course I make a rule in fw to allow traffic to the alternative port.
But once it's time to start passive connection, then the iptable module cannot handle it properly. I could solve the problem by making a range of passive ports in the ftp-server configuration and allow the incoming traffic to them, but then using helper modules doesn't make any sense. I just want to allow the traffic to the listening port and then want the ip_contrack_ftp module to take care of the rest. This is what I do today - but only port 21 seems to be working. Is there a way to do this with a non-standard ftp port?

But, i want to allow them to connect on any other port range, and i want to be able to allow connections from my server to the blocked ip range on those same ports. so, blocking incoming only on the above port range.
