<para>Shorewall supports two different types of blackliisting; rule-based,
|
|
static and dynamic. The BLACKLIST option in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
|
|
controls the degree of blacklist filtering.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The BLACKLIST option lists the Netfilter connection-tracking states
|
|
that blacklist rules are to be applied to (states are NEW, ESTABLISHED,
|
|
RELATED, INVALID, NOTRACK). The BLACKLIST option supersedes the
|
|
BLACKLISTNEWONLY option:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>BLACKLISTNEWONLY=No -- All incoming packets are checked against
|

the blacklist. New blacklist entries can be used to terminate existing

connections.</para>

</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>

<title>Rule-based Blacklisting</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.25, the preferred method of
|
|
blacklisting and whitelisting is to use the blrules file (<ulink
|
|
url="manpages/shorewall-blrules.html">shorewall-blrules</ulink> (5)).
|
|
There you have access to the DROP, ACCEPT, REJECT and WHITELIST actions,
|
|
standard and custom macros as well as standard and custom actions. See
|
|
<ulink url="manpages/shorewall-rules.html">shorewall-rules</ulink> (5) for
|
|
details.</para>

<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.26, the <command>update</command>

command supports a <option>-b</option> option that causes your legacy

blacklisting configuration to use the blrules file.</para>
|
|
|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>If you prefer to keep your blacklisting rules in your rules file
|
|
(<ulink url="manpages/shorewall-rules.html">shorewall-rules</ulink>
|
|
(5)), you can place them in the BLACKLIST section of that file rather
|

than in blrules.</para>

<para>Prior to 4.4.25, two forms of blacklisting were supported; static

and dynamic. The dynamic variety is still appropriate for

deprecated.</para>

|
<para>Prior to Shorewall 4.4.20, only source-address static blacklisting
|
|
was supported.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Users with a large static black list may want to set the
|
|
DELAYBLACKLISTLOAD option in shorewall.conf (added in Shorewall version
|
|
2.2.0). When DELAYBLACKLISTLOAD=Yes, Shorewall will enable new
|
|
connections before loading the blacklist rules. While this may allow
|
|
connections from blacklisted hosts to slip by during construction of the
|
|
blacklist, it can substantially reduce the time that all new connections
|
|
are disabled during "shorewall [re]start".</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 2.4.0, you can use <ulink
|
|
url="ipsets.html">ipsets</ulink> to define your static blacklist. Here's
|
|
an example:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#ADDRESS/SUBNET PROTOCOL PORT
|
|
+Blacklistports[dst]
|
|
+Blacklistnets[src,dst]
|
|
+Blacklist[src,dst]
|
|
#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES BEFORE THIS ONE -- DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>In this example, there is a portmap ipset
|
|
<emphasis>Blacklistports</emphasis> that blacklists all traffic with
|
|
destination ports included in the ipset. There are also
|
|
<emphasis>Blacklistnets</emphasis> (type <emphasis>nethash</emphasis>)
|
|
and <emphasis>Blacklist</emphasis> (type <emphasis>iphash</emphasis>)
|
|
ipsets that allow blacklisting networks and individual IP addresses.
|
|
Note that [src,dst] is specified so that individual entries in the sets
|
|
can be bound to other portmap ipsets to allow blacklisting
|
|
(<emphasis>source address</emphasis>, <emphasis>destination
|
|
port</emphasis>) combinations. For example:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>ipset -N SMTP portmap --from 1 --to 31
|
|
ipset -A SMTP 25
|
|
ipset -A Blacklist 206.124.146.177
|
|
ipset -B Blacklist 206.124.146.177 -b SMTP</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>This will blacklist SMTP traffic from host 206.124.146.177.</para>
