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 ?
View 4 RepliesI am setting up tomcat server on my Centos 5.5 machine. I've been advised to run tomcat on 8080 as non root user and redirect traffic to it from port 80.
I searched and found the following iptables commands for this:# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT -to-ports 8080
# iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPTI have a doubt:
Tomcat is not accessible via port 80 without the second command. But the second command opens 8080 and makes it accessible over the internet (tomcat is accesible via both: www.<website>.com and http://<ip address>:8080). This doesn't seem right. Is there some simple (iptables) way to redirect traffic "internally" from port 80 to 8080 without having to open 8080 to the internet.
I am running Ubuntu server 10.10 and trying to setup iptables rules in /etc/if-up.d/iptables
Quote:
root@host# cat /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables

Problem is that iptables doesn't get updated and I don't see them when iptables -L is executed after reboot.
I have a clean install of Ubuntu server Lucid Lynx with the virt-host task installed. I need to find the location of the iptables rules that are being loaded when the system boots. These are the rules for the virbr0 interface.

I want to block the icmp packets(ping) from the other computer to my RHEL-4 what's the syntax I should use to do so in IPTABLES.
View 2 Replies View RelatedBrief 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)?
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....
what do the following two commands do? Do they modify the iptables rules in any way?
sudo /sbin/iptables -L -n
sudo /sbin/ip6tables -L -n
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 installed 1 web server IP: 192.168.10.2
I have some PC IP range: 192.168.10.10->20
I set rules NAT on firewall and PC & web server can connect internet good, but I have problems:
When PC access to web server with IP 192.168.10.2 that ok, but PC can't access to web server when using IP Public. But outside internet, I can access to web server using IP Public.

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.
so the firewall rules I am currently using are displayed below.

# DROP ALL FORWARDED PACKETS
iptables -P FORWARD DROP # DROP ALL PACKETS

I have been trying to figure out how to makes rules in iptables that expire after a certain amount of time. From what I have found online you want to use the recent module with --rcheck and --seconds. I have found a few examples and have given them a shot but I can't seem to get it right. Would anyone mind posting an example of a rule that will auto expire?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've configured squid proxy server in a P4 desktop. I've 50 users in my network. I installed RHEL 4.4 (2.6.9-42 kernel) and the iptables version is 1.2.11-3.1. I've 2 NICs installed in the system. eth0 (192.168.100.99) for local lan and eth1 (192.168.1.2) for outgoing to internet. I've connected DSL broadband modem to eth1 (default ip of DSL modem is 192.168.1.1). All the clients except few has been forced to go through squid by user authentication to access internet. Those clients which were kept away from proxy are 192.168.100.253, 192.168.100.97, 192.168.100.95 and 192.168.100.165. Everything works fine but from last week I observed that one of some notorious user use the direct IPs (192.168.100.97 or 192.168.100.95) in the absense of the owner of these IPs to gain access to internet as we applied download/upload restrictions in squid.
I want to filter the packets of source hosts using MAC address in PREROUTING chain. I read somewhere that IPT_MAC module must be installed to make this happen. So that those notorious users can not change their ips to gain direct access to internet.

I was wondering if there is a way to find out IP blocks based on a given region. I know there are IP Lookups that will tell you what Country and possibly City a given IP is from. What I want is the following:
- I would like to set up a IPTABLES rule that implements something like:
=> ALLOW VPN connections FROM THIS ISP/IP BLOCKS THAT ARE IN CITY XYZ
Basically, I want to limit my incoming VPN connections FROM my ISP in the surrounding area. So, for example, I can go to my friends house who also has the same ISP. I should be able to connect from his home to mine because we have 1) same ISP 2) IP blocks is confined to a particular local location.
Other than Firestarter, how safe is it to use an iptables firewall for Linux if you know the basics of iptables but not the details and not exactly what you're doing with iptables? I want to be very secure without configuring iptables myself if possible or doing as little as possible. If you don't think iptables is safe if you don't really know what you're doing, which firewall you can use (Slackware specific, preferably) that is the easiest to install and configure? Are there any that work like free Windows firewalls, other than Firestarter? I've looked around and looked at slackbuild and can't find a Firestarter package, I searched this site also and saw something about the reason there isn't one. I'm concerned with my security and I don't want to write my own iptables firewall - I don't fully know what I'm doing.

I am trying solve a strange problem which ocurred after upgrading many packages including kernel and iptables.This is a Fedora 10 PC acting as a small home-server I've been using over a year without problems. Recently, I've run a yum upgrade and after that, connections outside home wouldn't work. No changes in IPtables (firewall) rules have been done. But connection through local network is working.Symptom is.I've connected to my second PC at home and connected to the server. It works fine on local network. I restart network services (service network restart) and outside connections could be established.I have disabled iptables and ip6tables and after reboots it works fine. But PC is running without firewall.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI set up a squid transparent proxy and I have a problem with an iptable rules. I have a rule to redirect all request to port 80 to go on port 3128. To do so, I'm using this iptables command :
Code:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
This command is working like a charm. The only problem is, for some unknown reasons, this rule will be dropped at some point. I did not manage to identify what is causing this to happen. It occurs during night, but I have nothing about that in my log files. messages / firewall / ...) The only way I managed to reproduce this 'dropping' is this one: I type the command like as root. The command is effective and working fine. I open yast, I go to the firewall module, the I do a simple "save changes and restart firewall" (without changing anything). As soon as this process is finished, the iptables rule is gone.
-How can I make this rule permanent ?
-Is there a place where I can launch a script executing this rule, after the yast firewall module is 'touched' or something ?
Does anyone have tips about iptables rules for filtering network traffice?
