<title>Description</title>
<para>Entries in this file govern connection establishment by defining
exceptions to the policies laid out in <ulink
url="/manpages6/shorewall6-policy.html">shorewall6-policy</ulink>(5). By
default, subsequent requests and responses are automatically allowed using
connection tracking. For any particular (source,dest) pair of zones, the
rules are evaluated in the order in which they appear in this file and the
first terminating match is the one that determines the disposition of the
request. All rules are terminating except LOG and QUEUE rules.</para>
<para>The rules file is divided into sections. Each section is introduced
by a "Section Header" which is a line beginning with ?SECTION and followed
by the section name.</para>
<para>Sections are as follows and must appear in the order listed:</para>
<variablelist>

</variablelist>
<note>
<para>If you are not familiar with Netfilter to the point where you are
comfortable with the differences between the various connection tracking
states, then it is suggested that you omit the <emphasis

the NEW section (That's after the line that reads ?SECTION NEW').</para>
</note>
<warning>
<para>If you specify FASTACCEPT=Yes in <ulink

<para>An except is made if you are running Shorewall 4.4.27 or later and
you have specified a non-default value for RELATED_DISPOSITION or
RELATED_LOG_LEVEL. In that case, you may have rules in the RELATED
section of this file.</para>
</warning>
<para>You may omit any section that you don't need. If no Section Headers
appear in the file then all rules are assumed to be in the NEW

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">HELPER</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Added in Shorewall 4.5.7. This action requires that the
HELPER column contains the name of the Netfilter helper to be
associated with connections matching this connection. May only
be specified in the NEW section and is useful for being able
to specify a helper when the applicable policy is ACCEPT. No
destination zone should be specified in HELPER rules.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis
role="bold">INLINE</emphasis>[(<replaceable>action</replaceable>)]</term>
<listitem>
<para>Added in Shorewall 4.5.16. This action allows you to
construct most of the rule yourself using ip6tables syntax.
The part that you specify must follow a semicolon (';') and is
completely free-form. If the target of the rule (the part
following 'j') is something that Shorewall supports in the
ACTION column, then you may enclose it in parentheses (e.g.,
INLINE(ACCEPT)). Otherwise, you can include it after the
semicolon. In this case, you must declare the target as a
builtin action in <ulink
url="/manpages6/shorewall6-actions.html">shorewall6-actions</ulink>(5).</para>
<para>Some considerations when using INLINE:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The <option>p</option>, <option>s</option>,
<option>d</option>, <option>i</option>,
<option>o</option>, <option>policy</option>, and state
match (<option>state</option> or <option>conntrack
--ctstate</option>) matches will always appear in the
front of the rule in that order.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>When multiple matches are specified, the compiler
will keep them in the order in which they appear
(excluding the above listed ones), but they will not
necessarily be at the end of the generated rule. For
example, if addresses are specified in the SOURCE and/or
DEST columns, their generated matches will appear after
those specified using ';'.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis
role="bold">IP6TABLES</emphasis>({<replaceable>ip6tables-target</replaceable>
[<replaceable>option</replaceable> ...])</term>
<listitem>
<para>This action allows you to specify an ip6tables target
with options (e.g., 'IPTABLES(MARK --set-xmark 0x01/0xff)'. If
the <replaceable>ip6tables-target</replaceable> is not one
recognized by Shorewall, the following error message will be
issued:</para>
<programlisting> ERROR: Unknown target (<replaceable>ip6tables-target</replaceable>)</programlisting>
<para>This error message may be eliminated by adding
the<replaceable>
ip6tables-</replaceable><replaceable>target</replaceable> as a
builtin action in <ulink
url="shorewall6-actions.html">shorewall6-actions</ulink>(5).</para>
<important>
<para>If you specify REJECT as the
<replaceable>ip6tables-target</replaceable>, the target of
the rule will be the i6ptables REJECT target and not
Shorewall's builtin 'reject' chain which is used when REJECT
(see below) is specified as the
<replaceable>target</replaceable> in the ACTION
column.</para>
</important>
</listitem>

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis>macro</emphasis><emphasis
role="bold">[(<replaceable>macrotarget</replaceable>)]</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>The name of a macro defined in a file named
macro.<emphasis>macro</emphasis>. If the macro accepts an
action parameter (Look at the macro source to see if it has
PARAM in the TARGET column) then the
<emphasis>macro</emphasis> name is followed by the
parenthesized <emphasis>macrotarget</emphasis> (<emphasis
role="bold">ACCEPT</emphasis>, <emphasis
role="bold">DROP</emphasis>, <emphasis
role="bold">REJECT</emphasis>, ...) to be substituted for the
parameter.</para>
<para>Example: FTP(ACCEPT).</para>
<para>The older syntax where the macro name and the target are
separated by a slash (e.g. FTP/ACCEPT) is still allowed but is
deprecated.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis
role="bold">MARK({<replaceable>mark</replaceable>})</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>where <replaceable>mark</replaceable> is a packet mark
value.</para>
<para>Added in Shorewall 5.0.7, MARK requires "Mark in filter
table" support in your kernel and iptables.</para>
<para>Normally will set the mark value of the current packet.
If preceded by a vertical bar ("|"), the mark value will be
logically ORed with the current mark value to produce a new
mark value. If preceded by an ampersand ("&amp;"), will be
logically ANDed with the current mark value to produce a new
mark value.</para>
<para>Both "|" and "&amp;" require Extended MARK Target
support in your kernel and iptables.</para>
<para>The mark value may be optionally followed by "/" and a
mask value (used to determine those bits of the connection
mark to actually be set). When a mask is specified, the result
of logically ANDing the mark value with the mask must be the
same as the mark value.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis
role="bold">NFLOG</emphasis>[(<replaceable>nflog-parameters</replaceable>)]</term>
<listitem>
<para>Added in Shorewall 4.5.9.3. Queues matching packets to a
back end logging daemon via a netlink socket then continues to
the next rule. See <ulink
url="/shorewall_logging.html">http://www.shorewall.net/shorewall_logging.html</ulink>.</para>
<para>The <replaceable>nflog-parameters</replaceable> are a
comma-separated list of up to 3 numbers:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The first number specifies the netlink group
(0-65535). If omitted (e.g., NFLOG(,0,10)) then a value of
0 is assumed.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The second number specifies the maximum number of
bytes to copy. If omitted, 0 (no limit) is assumed.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The third number specifies the number of log
messages that should be buffered in the kernel before they
are sent to user space. The default is 1.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>NFLOG is similar to<emphasis role="bold">
LOG:NFLOG</emphasis>[(<replaceable>nflog-parameters</replaceable>)],
except that the log level is not changed when this ACTION is
used in an action or macro and the invocation of that action
or macro specifies a log level.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis
role="bold">NFQUEUE</emphasis>[([<replaceable>queuenumber</replaceable>1[:<replaceable>queuenumber2</replaceable>][,bypass]]|bypass)]</term>
<listitem>
<para>Queues the packet to a user-space application using the
nfnetlink_queue mechanism. If a
<replaceable>queuenumber</replaceable>1 is not specified,
queue zero (0) is assumed. Beginning with Shorewall 4.6.10,
the keyword <emphasis role="bold">bypass</emphasis> can be
given. By default, if no userspace program is listening on an
NFQUEUE, then all packets that are to be queued are dropped.
When this option is used, the NFQUEUE rule is silently
bypassed instead. The packet will move on to the next rule.
Also beginning in Shorewall 4.6.10, a second queue number
(<replaceable>queuenumber2</replaceable>) may be specified.
This specifies a range of queues to use. Packets are then
balanced across the given queues. This is useful for multicore
systems: start multiple instances of the userspace program on
queues x, x+1, .. x+n and use "x:x+n". Packets belonging to
the same connection are put into the same nfqueue.</para>

role="bold">tarpit</emphasis> | <emphasis

role="bold">reset</emphasis>)]</term>
<listitem>
<para>Added in Shorewall 4.6.6.</para>
<para>TARPIT captures and holds incoming TCP connections using
no local per-connection resources.</para>
<para>TARPIT only works with the PROTO column set to tcp (6),
and is totally application agnostic. This module will answer a
TCP request and play along like a listening server, but aside
from sending an ACK or RST, no data is sent. Incoming packets
are ignored and dropped. The attacker will terminate the
session eventually. This module allows the initial packets of
an attack to be captured by other software for inspection. In
most cases this is sufficient to determine the nature of the
attack.</para>
<para>This offers similar functionality to LaBrea
&lt;http://www.hackbusters.net/LaBrea/&gt; but does not
require dedicated hardware or IPs. Any TCP port that you would
normally DROP or REJECT can instead become a tarpit.</para>
<para>The target accepts a single optional parameter:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>tarpit</term>
<listitem>
<para>This mode is the default and completes a
connection with the attacker but limits the window size
to 0, thus keeping the attacker waiting long periods of
time. While he is maintaining state of the connection
and trying to continue every 60-240 seconds, we keep
none, so it is very lightweight. Attempts to close the
connection are ignored, forcing the remote side to time
out the connection in 12-24 minutes.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>honeypot</term>
<listitem>
<para>This mode completes a connection with the
attacker, but signals a normal window size, so that the
remote side will attempt to send data, often with some

<listitem>
<para>May be used to limit the number of simultaneous connections
to/from each individual host or network to
<replaceable>limit</replaceable> connections. Requires connlimit
match in your kernel and iptables. While the limit is only checked
on rules specifying CONNLIMIT, the number of current connections is
calculated over all current connections from the SOURCE or
DESTINATION host. By default, limiting is done by SOURCE host or
net, but if the specification begins with <emphasis
role="bold">d:</emphasis>, then limiting will be donw by destination
host or net.</para>
<para>By default, the limit is applied to each host but can be made
to apply to networks of hosts by specifying a
<replaceable>mask</replaceable>. The <replaceable>mask</replaceable>
specifies the width of a VLSM mask to be applied to the source
address; the number of current connections is then taken over all
hosts in the subnet
<replaceable>source-address</replaceable>/<replaceable>mask</replaceable>.
