Firewalls are an area of increasing interest for people who are
|
||||
connected to the Internet, and are even finding applications on
|
||||
private networks to provide enhanced security. This section will
|
||||
hopefully explain what firewalls are, how to use them, and how to use
|
||||
the facilities provided in the FreeBSD kernel to impliment them.
|
||||
|
||||
<quote><bf>Note</bf>: People often think that having a firewall between
|
||||
your companies internal network and the ``Big Bad Internet'' will
|
||||
solve all your security problems. It may help, but a poorly setup
|
||||
firewall system is more of a security risk than not having one at all.
|
||||
A firewall can only add another layer of security to your systems, but
|
||||
they will not be able to stop a really determined hacker from
|
||||
penetrating your internal network. If you let internal security lapse
|
||||
because you believe your firewall to be impenetrable, you have just
|
||||
made the hackers job that bit easier.</quote>
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1><heading>What is a firewall?</heading>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are currently two distinct types of firewalls in common
|
||||
use on the Internet today. The first type is more properly called
|
||||
a <bf>packet filtering router</bf>, where the kernel on a
|
||||
multi-homed machine chooses whether to forward or block packets
|
||||
based on a set of rules. The second type, known as <bf>proxy
|
||||
servers</bf>, rely on daemons to provide authentication and to
|
||||
forward packets, possibly on a multi-homed machine which has
|
||||
kernel packet forwarding disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Sometimes sites combine the two types of firewalls, so that only a
|
||||
certain machine (known as a <bf>bastion host</bf>) is allowed to send
|
||||
packets through a packet filtering router onto an internal
|
||||
network. Proxy services are run on the bastion host, which are
|
||||
generally more secure than normal authentication mechanisms.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>FreeBSD comes with a kernel packet filter (known as <tt>IPFW</tt>),
|
||||
which is what the rest of this section will concentrate on. Proxy
|
||||
servers can be built on FreeBSD from third party software, but there
|
||||
is such a vareity of proxy servers available that it would be
|
||||
impossible to cover them in this document.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect2><heading>Packet filtering routers<label id="firewalls:packet_filters"></heading>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A router is a machine which forwards packets between two or more
|
||||
networks. A packet filtering router has an extra piece of code in it's
|
||||
kernel, which compares each packet to a list of rules before deciding
|
||||
if it should be forwarded or not. Most modern IP routing software has
|
||||
packet filtering code in it, which defaults to forwarding all
|
||||
packets. To enable the filters, you need to define a set of rules for
|
||||
the filtering code, so that it can decide if the packet should be
|
||||
allowed to pass or not.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To decide if a packet should be passed on or not, the code looks
|
||||
through it's set of rules for a rule which matches the contents of
|
||||
this packets headers. Once a match is found, the rule action is
|
||||
obeyed. The rule action could be to drop the packet, to forward the
|
||||
packet, or even to send an ICMP message back to the originator. Only
|
||||
the first match counts, as the rules are searched in order. Hence, the
|
||||
list of rules can be referred to as a ``rule chain''.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The packet matching criteria varies depending on the software used,
|
||||
but typically you can specify rules which depend on the source IP
|
||||
address of the packet, the destination IP address, the source port
|
||||
number, the destination port number (for protocols which support
|
||||
ports), or even the packet type (UDP, TCP, ICMP, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
<sect2><heading>Proxy servers<label id="firewalls:proxy_servers"></heading>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Proxy servers are machines which have had the normal system daemons
|
||||
(telnetd, ftpd, etc) replaced with special servers. These servers are
|
||||
called <bf>proxy servers</bf> as they normally only allow onward
|
||||
connections to be made. This enables you to run (for example) a proxy
|
||||
telnet server on your firewall host, and people can telnet in to your
|
||||
firewall from the outside, go through some authentication mechanism,
|
||||
and then gain access to the internal network (alternatively, proxy
|
||||
servers can be used for signals coming from the internal network and
|
||||
heading out).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Proxy servers are normally more secure than normal servers, and
|
||||
often have a wider variety of authentication mechanisms available,
|
||||
including ``one-shot'' password systems so that even if someone
|
||||
manages to discover what password you used, they will not be able to use
|
||||
it to gain access to your systems as the password instantly
|
||||
expires. As they do not actually give users access to the host machine,
|
||||
it becomes a lot more difficult for someone to install backdoors
|
||||
around your security system.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Proxy servers often have ways of restricting access further, so
|
||||
that only certain hosts can gain access to the servers, and often they
|
||||
can be set up so that you can limit which users can talk to which
|
||||
destination machine. Again, what facilities are available depends
|
||||
largely on what proxy software you choose.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1><heading>What does <tt>IPFW</tt> allow me to do?</heading>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><tt>IPFW</tt>, the software supplied with FreeBSD, is a packet
|
||||
filtering and accounting system which resides in the kernel, and has a
|
||||
user-land control utility, <tt>ipfw(8)</tt>. Together, they
|
||||
allow you to define and query the rules currently used by the kernel
|
||||
in its routing decisions.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are two related parts to <tt>IPFW</tt>. The firewall section
|
||||
allows you to perform packet filtering. There is also an IP accounting
|
||||
section which allows you to track usage of your router, based on
|
||||
similar rules to the firewall section. This allows you to see (for
|
||||
example) how much traffic your router is getting from a certain
|
||||
machine, or how much WWW (World Wide Web) traffic it is forwarding.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As a result of the way that <tt>IPFW</tt> is designed, you can use
|
||||
<tt>IPFW</tt> on non-router machines to perform packet filtering on
|
||||
incoming and outgoing connections. This is a special case of the more
|
||||
general use of <tt>IPFW</tt>, and the same commands and techniques
|
||||
should be used in this situation.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1><heading>Enabling <tt>IPFW</tt> on FreeBSD</heading>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As the main part of the <tt>IPFW</tt> system lives in the kernel, you will
|
||||
need to add one or more options to your kernel configuration
|
||||
file, depending on what facilities you want, and recompile your kernel. See
|
||||
<ref id="kernelconfig" name="reconfiguring the kernel"> for more
|
||||
details on how to recompile your kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are currently three kernel configuration options
|
||||
relevant to IPFW:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
<tag/options IPFIREWALL/ Compiles into the kernel the code for packet
|
||||
filtering.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE/ Enables code to allow logging of
|
||||
packets through <tt>syslogd</tt>. Without this option, even if you
|
||||
specify that packets should be logged in the filter rules, nothing
|
||||
will happen.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/options IPACCT/ Turns on the IP accounting facilities.
|
||||
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1><heading>Configuring <tt>IPFW</tt></heading>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The configuration of the <tt>IPFW</tt> software is done through the
|
||||
<tt>ipfw(8)</tt> utility. The syntax for this command looks
|
||||
quite complicated, but it is relatively simple once you understand
|
||||
it's structure.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are currently two different command line formats for the
|
||||
utility, depending on what you are doing. The first form is used when
|
||||
adding/deleting entries from the firewall or accounting chains, or
|
||||
when clearing the counters for an entry on the accounting chain. The
|
||||
second form is used for more general actions, such as flushing the
|
||||
rule chains, listing the rule chains or setting the default policy.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect2><heading>Altering the <tt>IPFW</tt> rules</heading>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The syntax for this form of the command is:
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
ipfw [-n] <em>command</em> <em>action</em> <em>protocol</em> <em>addresses</em>
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There is one valid flag when using this form of the command:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
<tag/-n/Do not attempt to resolve given addresses.
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
The <em>command</em> given can be shortened to the shortest unique
|
||||
form. The valid <em>commands</em> are:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/addfirewall/Add an entry to the firewall rule list
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/delfirewall/Delete an entry from the firewall rule list
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/addaccounting/Add an entry to the accounting rule list
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/delaccounting/Delete an entry from the accounting rule list
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/clraccounting/Clear the counters for an accounting rule entry.
|
||||
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
If no command is given, it will default <bf>addfirewall</bf> or
|
||||
<bf>addaccounting</bf> depending on the arguments given.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Currently, the firewall support in the kernel applies a set of
|
||||
weights to the rule being added. This means that the rules will
|
||||
<em>not</em> be evaluated in the order that they are given to the
|
||||
system. The weighting system is designed so that rules which are very
|
||||
specific are evaluated first, and rules which cover very large ranges
|
||||
are evaluated last. In other words, a rule which applies to a specific
|
||||
port on a specific host will have a higher priority than a rule which
|
||||
applies to that same port, but on a range of hosts, or that host on a
|
||||
range of ports.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The weighting system is not perfect, however, and can lead to
|
||||
problems. The best way to see what order it has put your rules in is
|
||||
to use the <bf>list</bf> command, as that command lists the rules in
|
||||
the order that they are evaluated, not the order that they were fed to
|
||||
the system.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The <em>actions</em> available depend on which rule chain the
|
||||
entry is destined for. For the firewall chain, valid
|
||||
<em>actions</em> are:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/reject/Drop the packet, and send an ICMP HOST_UNREACHABLE packet
|
||||
to the source.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/lreject/As <bf>reject</bf>, but also log the packet details.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/deny/Drop the packet.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/ldeny/As <bf>deny</bf>, but also log the packet details.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/log/Log the packets details and pass it on as normal.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/accept/Pass the packet on as normal.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/pass/Synonym for <bf>accept</bf>.
|
||||
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
For the accounting chain, valid <em>actions</em> are:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/single/Count packets matching the address specifier.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/bidirectional/Count packets matching the address specifier, and
|
||||
also packets travelling in the opposite direction (i.e. those going
|
||||
from ``destination'' to ``source'').
|
||||
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Each <em>action</em> will be recognized by the shortest unambigious
|
||||
prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
The <em>protocols</em> which can be specified are:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/all/Matches any IP packet
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/icmp/Matches ICMP packets
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/tcp/Matches TCP packets
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/udp/Matches UDP packets
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/syn/Matches the TCP SYN (synchronization) packet used during TCP
|
||||
connection negotiation. You can use this to block ``incoming'' TCP
|
||||
connections, but allow ``outgoing'' TCP connections.
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The <em>address</em> specification is:
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
[<bf>from</bf> <<em>address/mask</em>>[<em>port</em>]] [<bf>to</bf>
|
||||
<<em>address/mask</em>>[<em>port</em>]] [<bf>via</bf> <<em>interface</em>>]
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can only specify <em>port</em> in conjunction with
|
||||
<em>protocols</em> which support ports (UDP, TCP and SYN).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The order of the <bf>from</bf>, <bf>to</bf>, and
|
||||
<bf>via</bf> keywords is unimportant. Any of them can be omitted,
|
||||
in which case a default entry for that keyword will be supplied which
|
||||
matches everything.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The <bf>via</bf> is optional and may specify the IP address or
|
||||
domain name of a local IP interface, or an interface name (e.g.
|
||||
<tt>ed0</tt>) to match only packets coming through this interface. The
|
||||
keyword <bf>via</bf> can be substituted by <bf>on</bf>, for
|
||||
readability reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The syntax used to specify an <tt><address/mask></tt> is:
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
<address>
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
or
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
<address>/mask-bits
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
or
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
<address>:mask-pattern
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A valid hostname may be specified in place of the IP
|
||||
address. <tt>mask-bits</tt> is a decimal number representing how many
|
||||
bits in the address mask should be set. e.g. specifying
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
192.216.222.1/24
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
will create a mask which will allow any address in a class C subnet
|
||||
(in this case, 192.216.222) to be matched. <tt>mask-pattern</tt> is an IP
|
||||
address which will be logically AND'ed with the address given. The
|
||||
keyword <tt>any</tt> may be used to specify ``any IP address''.
|
||||
<p>The port numbers to be blocked are specified as:
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
port[,port[,port[...]]]
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
to specify either a single port or a list of ports, or
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
port:port
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
to specify a range of ports. The name of a service (from
|
||||
<em>/etc/services</em>) can be used instead of a numeric port value.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect2><heading>Listing/flushing the <tt>IPFW</tt> rules</heading>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The syntax for this form of the command is:
|
||||
<tscreen>
|
||||
ipfw [-ans] <em>command</em> [<em>argument</em>]
|
||||
</tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are three valid flags when using this form of the command:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/-a/While listing, show counter values. This option is the only
|
||||
way to see accounting counters. Works only with <bf>-s</bf>.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/-n/Do not attempt to resolve given addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/-s/Use short listing form. This should be used with <bf>-a</bf>
|
||||
to see accounting counters. The short form listing is incompatible
|
||||
with the input syntax used by the <tt>ipfw(8)</tt> utility.
|
||||
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
The <em>command</em> given can be shortened to the shortest unique
|
||||
form. The valid <em>commands</em> are:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/list/List the chain rule entries. Unless the <bf>-s</bf> flag is
|
||||
given, the format is compatable with the command line syntax.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/flush/Flush the chain rule entries.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/zero/Clear counters for the entire accounting chain.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/policy/Set or display the default policy for the firewall
|
||||
code. Without an argument, the current policy will be displayed.
|
||||
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
The <bf>list</bf> and <bf>flush</bf> commands may optionally be passed
|
||||
an <em>argument</em> to specify which chain to flush. Valid arguments are:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/firewall/The packet filter chain.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/accounting/The accounting chain.
|
||||
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The <bf>policy</bf> command can be given one of two arguments:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/accept/If a packet is not matched by any rule, pass it on.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag/deny/If a packet is not matched by any rule, do not pass it on.
|
||||
|
||||
</descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
As usual, the arguments can be shortened to the shortest unique form
|
||||
(in this case, the first letter).
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1><heading>Example commands for ipfw</heading>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This command will deny all packets from the host
|
||||
<bf>evil.hacker.org</bf> to the telnet port of the host
|
||||
<bf>nice.people.org</bf> by being forwarded by the router:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
ipfw addf deny tcp from evil.hacker.org to nice.people.org telnet
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The next example denies and logs any TCP traffic from the entire
|
||||
<bf>hacker.org</bf> network (a class C) to the <bf>nice.people.org</bf>
|
||||
machine (any port).
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
ipfw addf ldeny tcp from evil.hacker.org/24 to nice.people.org
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not want people sending X sessions to your internal network
|
||||
(a subnet of a class C), the following command will do the necessary
|
||||
filtering:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
ipfw addf deny syn to my.org/28 6000
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
To allow access to the SUP server on <bf>sup.FreeBSD.ORG</bf>, use the
|
||||
following command:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
ipfw addf accept syn to sup.FreeBSD.ORG supfilesrv
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
To see the accounting records:
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
ipfw -sa list accounting
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
or in the short form
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|

ipfw -sa l a
|

<p><quote><bf>Note:</bf> The following suggestions are just that:

suggestions. The requirements of each firewall are different and I

cannot tell you how to build a firewall to meet your particular

|

|

<p>When initially setting up your firewall, unless you have a test

bench setup where you can configure your firewall host in a controlled
|

environment, I strongly recommend you use the logging version of the

commands and enable logging in the kernel. This will allow you to
|
||||
quickly identify problem areas and cure them without too much
|
||||
disruption. Even after the initial setup phase is complete, I
|
||||
recommend using the logging for of `deny' as it allows tracing of
|
||||
possible attacks and also modification of the firewall rules if your
|
||||
requirements alter.

<bf>accept</bf> command, it can generate <em>large</em> ammounts
|
||||
of log data as one log line will be generated for every packet
|
||||
that passes through the firewall, so large ftp/http transfers,
|
||||
etc, will really slow the system down. It also increases the
|
||||
latencies on those packets as it requires more work to be done by
|
||||
the kernel before the packet can be passed on. syslogd with also
|
||||
start using up a lot more processor time as it logs all the extra
|
||||
data to disk, and it could quite easily fill the partition
|
||||
<tt>/var/log</tt> is located on.</quote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As currently supplied, FreeBSD does not have the ability to
|
||||
load firewall rules at boot time. My suggestion is to put a call
|
||||
to a shell script in the <tt>/etc/netstart</tt> script. Put the
|
||||
call early enough in the netstart file so that the firewall is
|
||||
configured before any of the IP interfaces are configured. This
|
||||
means that there is no window during which time your network is
|
||||
open.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The actual script used to load the rules is entirely up to
|
||||
you. There is currently no support in the <tt>ipfw</tt> utility for
|
||||
loading multiple rules in the one command. The system I use is to use
|
||||
the command:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
# ipfw list
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
to write a list of the current rules out to a file, and then use a
|
||||
text editor to prepend ``<tt>ipfw </tt>'' before all the lines. This
|
||||
will allow the script to be fed into /bin/sh and reload the rules into
|
||||
the kernel. Perhaps not the most efficient way, but it works.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The next problem is what your firewall should actually <bf>DO</bf>!
|
||||
This is largely dependant on what access to your network you want to
|
||||
allow from the outside, and how much access to the outside world you
|
||||
want to allow from the inside. Some general rules are:
|
||||
|
||||
<itemize>
|
||||
|
||||
<item>Block all incoming access to ports below 1000 for TCP. This is
|
||||
where most of the security sensitive services are, like finger, smtp
|
||||
(mail) and telnet.
|
||||
|
||||
<item>Block incoming SYN connections to ports between 1001 and 1024
|
||||
(this will allow internal users to rsh/rlogin to the outside). If you
|
||||
do not want to allow rsh/rlogin connections from the inside to the
|
||||
outside, then extend the above suggestion to cover ports 1-1024.
|
||||
|
||||
<item>Block <bf>all</bf> incoming UDP traffic. There are very few
|
||||
useful services that travel over UDP, and what useful traffic there is
|
||||
is normally a security threat (e.g. Suns RPC and NFS protocols). This
|
||||
has its disadvantages also, since UDP is a connectionless protocol,
|
||||
denying incoming UDP traffic also blocks the replies to outoing UDP
|
||||
traffic. This can cause a problem for people (on the inside)
|
||||
using external archie (prospero) servers. If you want to allow access
|
||||
to archie, you'll have to allow packets coming from ports 191 and 1525
|
||||
to any internal UDP port through the firewall. ntp is another service
|
||||
you may consider allowing through, which comes from port 123.
|
||||
|
||||
<item>Block traffic to port 6000 from the outside. Port 6000 is the
|
||||
port used for access to X11 servers, and can be a security threat
|
||||
(especially if people are in the habbit of doing <tt>xhost +</tt> on
|
||||
their workstations). X11 can actually use a range of ports starting at
|
||||
6000, the upper limit being how many X displays you can run on the
|
||||
machine. The upper limit as defined by RFC 1700 (Assigned Numbers) is
|
||||
6063.
|
||||
|
||||
<item>Check what ports any internal servers use (e.g. SQL servers,
|
||||
etc). It's probably a good idea to block those as well, as they
|
||||
normally fall outside the 1-1024 range specified above.
|
||||
|
||||
</itemize>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Of course, if you want to make sure that no un-authorised traffic
|
||||
gets through the firewall, change the default policy to ``deny''. This
|
||||
will mean that any traffic which is allowed through has to be
|
||||
specified explicitly in an ``accept'' or ``allow'' filter rule. Which
|
||||
ports you allow through is again something that you will have to
|
||||
decide for yourself. If you do set the default policy to be deny, you
|
||||
will probably want to install proxy servers, as no traffic will be
|
||||
able to get OUT either unless you allow TCP SYN connections going form
|
||||
the inside out.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As I said above, these are only <em>guidelines</em>. You will have
|
||||
to decide what filter rules you want to use on your firewall
|
||||
yourself. I cannot accept ANY responsibility if someone breaks into
|
||||
your network, even if you follow the advice given above.
