<title>Background</title>

|
|
|
<para>In early 2011, Thomas Graf submitted a set of patches to the
|
|
Netfilter development list that implemented an AUDIT rule target. This is
|
|
from the initial submittal:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<para>This patch adds a new netfilter target which creates audit records
|
|
for packets traversing a certain chain. It can be used to record packets
|
|
which are rejected administraively as follows:</para>
|
|
|
|
<simplelist>
|
|
<member>-N AUDIT_DROP</member>
|
|
|
|
<member>-A AUDIT_DROP -j AUDIT --type DROP</member>
|
|
|
|
<member>-A AUDIT_DROP -j DROP</member>
|
|
</simplelist>
|
|
|
|
<para>A rule which would typically drop or reject a packet would then
|
|
invoke the new chain to record packets before dropping them.</para>
|
|
|
|
<simplelist>
|
|
<member>-j AUDIT_DROP</member>
|
|
</simplelist>
|
|
|
|
<para>The module is protocol independant and works for iptables,
|
|
ip6tables and ebtables.</para>

|
<para>The audited packets are sent to a daemon (auditd) that write the
|
|
audit information to a log file.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In a related post by Eric Paris, the following additional
|
|
information was posted:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<para>AUDIT exists because a very large number of gov't customers (Not
|
|
just USA) have special requirements about how 'relevant' information is
|
|
gathered and stored. They require centralization and standardization and
|
|
require pretty formal documentation describing it's operation. The gov't
|
|
certification authority has recently added a requirement that they be
|
|
able to log 'illegal attempted network connections' via the approved
|
|
audit facility. Thus, this patch.</para>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>The AUDIT target was included in Linux kernel 2.6.39.</para>

<title>Shorewall Support</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Shorewall support for the AUDIT target was added in 4.4.20.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The support involves the following:</para>

<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">

<listitem>
|
|
<para>A new "AUDIT Target" capability is added and is required for
|
|
auditing support. To use AUDIT support with a capabilities file, that
|
|
file must be generated using this or a later release.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Use 'shorewall show capabilities' after installing this release
|
|
to see if your kernel/iptables support the AUDIT target.</para>

<listitem>

<para>In /etc/shorewall/policy's POLICY column, the policy (and

default action, if any) may be followed by ':audit' to cause

application of the policy to be audited. Only ACCEPT, DROP and REJECT
|

policies may be audited.</para>
