This package contains library that can be used by network daemons to
|
|
communicate with a packet filter via a daemon to enforce opening and
|
|
closing ports dynamically based on policy.
|
|
|
|
The interface to the packet filter is in libexec/blacklistd-helper
|
|
(this is currently designed for npf) and the configuration file
|
|
(inspired from inetd.conf) is in etc/blacklistd.conf.
|
|
|
|
On NetBSD you can find an example npf.conf and blacklistd.conf in
|
|
/usr/share/examples/blacklistd; you need to adjust the interface
|
|
in npf.conf and copy both files to /etc; then you just enable
|
|
blacklistd=YES in /etc/rc.conf, start it up, and you are all set.
|
|
|
|
There is also a startup file in etc/rc.d/blacklistd
|
|
|
|
Patches to various daemons to add blacklisting capabilitiers are in the
|
|
"diff" directory:
|
|
- OpenSSH: diff/ssh.diff [tcp socket example]
|
|
- Bind: diff/named.diff [both tcp and udp]
|
|
- ftpd: diff/ftpd.diff [tcp]
|
|
|
|
These patches have been applied to NetBSD-current.
|
|
|
|
The network daemon (for example sshd) communicates to blacklistd, via
|
|
a unix socket like syslog. The library calls are simple and everything
|
|
is handled by the library. In the simplest form the only thing the
|
|
daemon needs to do is to call:
|
|
|
|
blacklist(action, acceptedfd, message);
|
|
|
|
Where:
|
|
action = 0 -> successful login clear blacklist state
|
|
1 -> failed login, add to the failed count
|
|
acceptedfd -> the file descriptor where the server is
|
|
connected to the remote client. It is used
|
|
to determine the listening socket, and the
|
|
remote address. This allows any program to
|
|
contact the blacklist daemon, since the verification
|
|
if the program has access to the listening
|
|
socket is done by virtue that the port
|
|
number is retrieved from the kernel.
|
|
message -> an optional string that is used in debugging logs.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately there is no way to get information about the "peer"
|
|
from a udp socket, because there is no connection and that information
|
|
is kept with the server. In that case the daemon can provide the
|
|
peer information to blacklistd via:
|
|
|
|
blacklist_sa(action, acceptedfd, sockaddr, sockaddr_len, message);
|
|
|
|
The configuration file contains entries of the form:
|
|
|
|
# Blacklist rule
|
|
# host/Port type protocol owner name nfail disable
|
|
192.168.1.1:ssh stream tcp * -int 10 1m
|
|
8.8.8.8:ssh stream tcp * -ext 6 60m
|
|
ssh stream tcp6 * * 6 60m
|
|
http stream tcp * * 6 60m
|
|
|
|
Here note that owner is * because the connection is done from the
|
|
child ssh socket which runs with user privs. We treat ipv4 connections
|
|
differently by maintaining two different rules one for the external
|
|
interface and one from the internal We also register for both tcp
|
|
and tcp6 since those are different listening sockets and addresses;
|
|
we don't bother with ipv6 and separate rules. We use nfail = 6,
|
|
because ssh allows 3 password attempts per connection, and this
|
|
will let us have 2 connections before blocking. Finally we block
|
|
for an hour; we could block forever too by specifying * in the
|
|
duration column.
|
|
|
|
blacklistd and the library use syslog(3) to report errors. The
|
|
blacklist filter state is persisted automatically in /var/db/blacklistd.db
|
|
so that if the daemon is restarted, it remembers what connections
|
|
is currently handling. To start from a fresh state (if you restart
|
|
npf too for example), you can use -f. To watch the daemon at work,
|
|
you can use -d.
|
|
|
|
The current control file is designed for npf, and it uses the
|
|
dynamic rule feature. You need to create a dynamic rule in your
|
|
/etc/npf.conf on the group referring to the interface you want to block
|
|
called blacklistd as follows:
|
|
|
|
ext_if=bge0
|
|
int_if=sk0
|
|
|
|
group "external" on $ext_if {
|
|
...
|
|
ruleset "blacklistd-ext"
|
|
ruleset "blacklistd"
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
group "internal" on $int_if {
|
|
...
|
|
ruleset "blacklistd-int"
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Enjoy,
