Explain the following iptable rules for me?
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?
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?
How would you remove all iptable rules and chains?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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 -N SSH_DEFAULT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -j SSH_DEFAULT

I 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
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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm curious but recently I was troubleshooting some iptables rules to allow nfs clients access to my nfs server. What was strange was that I setup a tcpdump session on my nfs server so that I can see which ports were being requested. I ran several tcpdump sessions with the following filters in place.
tcpdump -vv src ip_of_client and dst _ip_of_client
tcpdump -vv src hostname_of_client and dst hostname_of_client
However, the only packet I ever saw come over the wire to me was the client host asking for a arp resolution. Anyhow, I finally just ran 'rcpinfo -p' and added those ports to my iptables rules and it worked great. However, I would like to understand how nfs works in case I need to troubleshoot it in the future. I do understand that nfs uses portmappers, would this explain the behavior?
my linux box the device node for my printer is by default setup as the following: crw-rw---- 1 root lp 189, 1 Apr 3 07:45 /dev/bus/usb/001/002 This causes cups to not print at all.

Ie I would like 666 file permission on that node.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSay I have Computer A behind a router with NAT. I'm unable to add any port forwarding rules to that router. Then I have Computer B with a public IP address that I want to forward X windows from. This computer is headless, but does have a video card so X windows can be used. Here are some of the things I'd perform to setup my scenario.
1. Computer B, I'd run xhost + public_ip of NAT router.
2. Make sure that computer B's sshd service has X11 forwarding enabled.
3. SSH from Computer A to Computer B with the X windows forward option.
4. Once in Computer B, set the DISPLAY env variable to the public_ip of NAT router.
5. On Computer B run xclock.
At this point I'd expect to see an instance of xclock originating from Computer B onto my desktop. However this obviously won't work. The problem is that when the request is made to Computer B to forward the instance of xclock to Computer A the forwarded instance of xclock will get stuck at the NAT router. Without a port forwarding rule the NAT router will not know which internal IP to route the instance of xclock.
Here's my question. Is there any way for Computer A to initiate a connection to Computer B and then forward the instance of xclock? That way if it uses that same connection the NAT router will know which internal IP to route it to because it would be an active connection in the router's routing table. Or is there an alternative? Of course I can vnc into another computer outside the NAT network and then forward an X window to it just fine. But in the spirit of expanding my knowledge on X windows I'd like to see what is possible.
how udev rules work to create device files. Following is what I did for that: Up on plugging in my phone (sony w800i), I am getting a device file 'devcdc-wdm0' created. I just tried to figure out the rule which is responsible for the creation of this particular file.
I searched in 'etcudev ules.d' and 'libudev ules.d' for the string 'cdc-wdm' to find that rule. But I am not getting any hits in that search. Could any one help me out in this one.

I have a centos5.3 server. I want to configure it as transparent squid proxy server. Internet is connected to eth0(192.168.0.100) and lan is connected to eth1(192.168.200.0/24) and eth1 ip is 192.168.200.1 .
I have configured it as dhcp,squid and its working fine.
Now I want to configure it as a transparent,so that no one has to manually configure in browser.
I just added a line
Code:
http_port 3128 transparent
to make it transparent.
Now while adding nat rules,
Quote:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
code....
Internet is totally blocked on eth1. And after stopping the firewall the internet comes.
I have been trying to figure this out for a long time now and can't seem to get it to work. I have three serial ports I need to communicate with. The first one works, but the other two, which have identical product and vendor IDs, do not. This is what I have so far under /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules/
