This section provides a more in-depth guide to using the 2.2.x firewall tool, IPCHAINS. See above sections for IPFWADM rulesets.
This example is for a firewall/masquerade system behind a PPP link with a static PPP address (dynamic PPP instructions are included but disabled). The trusted interface is 192.168.0.1 and the PPP interface IP address has been changed to protect the guilty :-). I have listed each incoming and outgoing interface individually to catch IP spoofing as well as stuffed routing and/or masquerading. A nything not explicitly allowed is FORBIDDEN (well.. rejected actually). If your IP MASQ box breaks after implementing this rc.firewall script, be sure that you edit it for your configuration and check your /var/log/messages or /var/adm/messages SYSLOG file for any firewall errors.
For more comprehensive examples of a strong IP Masqueraded IPFWADM rulesets for PPP, Cablemodem users, etc., please see TrinityOS - Section 10 and GreatCircle's Firewall WWW page
NOTE #1: --- UPDATE YOUR KERNEL --- Linux 2.2.x kernels less than version 2.2.20 contain several different security vunerabilities (some were MASQ specific). Kernels less than 2.2.20 have a few local vunerabilities. Kernel versions less than 2.2.16 have a TCP root exploit vulnerability and versions less than 2.2.11 have a IPCHAINS fragmentation bug. Because of these issues, users running a firewall with strong IPCHAINS rulesets are open to possible instrusion. Please upgrade your kernel to a fixed version.
NOTE #2: If you get a dynamically assigned TCP/IP address from your ISP (PPP, ADSL, Cablemodems, etc.), you CANNOT load this strong ruleset upon booting. You will either need to reload this firewall ruleset EVERY TIME you get a new IP address or make your /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall ruleset more intelligent. To do this for PPP users, carefully read and un-comment out the proper lines in the "Dynamic PPP IP fetch" section below. You can also find more details in the TrinityOS - Section 10 doc for more details on Strong rulesets and Dynamic IP addresses.
Please also be aware that there are several GUI Firewall creation tools available as well. Please see Chapter 7for full details.
Lastly, if you are using a STATIC PPP IP address, change the "ppp_ip="your.static.PPP.address"" line to reflect your address.

With IPCHAINS, you can block traffic to a particular site using the "input", "output", and/or "forward" rules. Remember that the set of rules are scanned from top to bottom and "-A" tells IPCHIANS to "append" this new rule to the existing set of rules. So with this in mind, any specific restrictions need to come before any global rules. For example:
Using "input" rules:
Probably the fastest and most efficient method to block traffic, but this method only stops the MASQed machines and NOT the firewall machine itself. Of course, you might want to allow that combination.
Anyway, to block 204.50.10.13:
In the /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall ruleset: ... start of "input" rules ... # reject and log local interface, local machines going to 204.50.10.13 # ipchains -A input -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 204.50.10.13/32 -l -j REJECT # local interface, local machines, going anywhere is valid # ipchains -A input -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -l -j ACCEPT ... end of "input" rules ... |
Using "output" rules:
This is the slower method to block traffic because the packets must go through masquerading before they are dropped. Yet, this rule even stops the firewall machine from accessing the forbidden site.
... start of "output" rules ... # reject and log outgoing to 204.50.10.13 # ipchains -A output -s $ppp_ip/32 -d 204.50.10.13/32 -l -j REJECT # anything else outgoing on remote interface is valid # ipchains -A output -s $ppp_ip/32 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -l -j ACCEPT ... end of "output" rules ...
Using "forward" rules:
Probably slower than "input" rules for blocking traffic, this only stops masqueraded machines (e.g. internal machines). The firewall machine can still reach forbidden site(s).
... start of "forward" rules ... # Reject and log from local net on PPP interface to 204.50.10.13. # ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 204.50.10.13/32 -l -j REJECT # Masquerade from local net on local interface to anywhere. # ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j MASQ ... end of "forward" rules ...
No need for a special rule to allow machines on the 192.168.0.0/24 network to go to 204.50.11.0. Why? It is already covered by the global MASQ rule.
NOTE: Unlike IPFWADM, IPCHIANS has only one way of coding the interfaces name. IPCHAINS uses the "-i eth0" option where as IPFWADM had both "-W" for the interface name and "-V" for the interface's IP address.
This section provides a more in-depth guide on using the 2.0.x firewall tool, IPFWADM. See below for IPCHAINS rulesets
This example is for a firewall/masquerade system behind a PPP link with a static PPP address (dynamic PPP instructions are included but disabled).

To do this for PPP users, carefully read and un-comment out the proper lines in the "Dynamic PPP IP fetch" section below. You can also find more details on Strong rulesets and Dynamic IP addresses in the TrinityOS - Section 10 docs.
Please also be aware that there are several GUI Firewall creation tools available as well. Please see Chapter 7for full details.
Lastly, if you are using a STATIC PPP IP address, change the "ppp_ip="your.static.PPP.address"" line to reflect your address.

With IPFWADM, you can block traffic to a particular site using the -I, -O or -F rules. Remember that the set of rules are scanned top to bottom and "-a" tells IPFWADM to "append" this new rule to the existing set of rules. So with this in mind, any specific restrictions need to come before global rules. For example:
Using -I (input ) rules:
Probably the fastest and most efficient method to block traffic but it only stops the MASQed machines, and NOT the the firewall machine itself. Of course, you might want to allow that combination.
Anyway, to block 204.50.10.13:
In the /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall ruleset: ... start of -I rules ... # reject and log local interface, local machines going to 204.50.10.13 # /sbin/ipfwadm -I -a reject -V 192.168.0.1 -S 192.168.0.0/24 -D 204.50.10.13/32 -o # local interface, local machines, going anywhere is valid # /sbin/ipfwadm -I -a accept -V 192.168.0.1 -S 192.168.0.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 ... end of -I rules ...
Using -O (output) rules:
This is the slower method to block traffic because the packets go through masquerading first before they are dropped. Yet, this rule even stops the firewall machine from accessing the forbidden site.
... start of -O rules ... # reject and log outgoing to 204.50.10.13 # /sbin/ipfwadm -O -a reject -V $ppp_ip -S $ppp_ip/32 -D 204.50.10.13/32 -o # anything else outgoing on remote interface is valid # /sbin/ipfwadm -O -a accept -V $ppp_ip -S $ppp_ip/32 -D 0.0.0.0/0 ... end of -O rules ...
Using -F (forward) rules:
Probably slower than -I (input) rules for blocking traffic, this still only stops masqueraded machines (e.g. internal machines). The firewall machine can still reach forbidden site(s).
... start of -F rules ... # Reject and log from local net on PPP interface to 204.50.10.13. # /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a reject -W ppp0 -S 192.168.0.0/24 -D 204.50.10.13/32 -o # Masquerade from local net on local interface to anywhere. # /sbin/ipfwadm -F -a masquerade -W ppp0 -S 192.168.0.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0 ... end of -F rules ...
There is no need for a special rule to allow machines on the 192.168.0.0/24 network to go to 204.50.11.0. Why? It is already covered by the global MASQ rule.
NOTE: There is more than one way of coding the interfaces in the above rules. For example instead of "-V 192.168.255.1" you can code "-W eth0", instead of "-V $ppp_ip" , you can use "-W ppp0". The "-V" method was phased out with the imgration to IPCHAINS, but for IPFWADM users, its more of a personal choice and documentation.
