<h2>Introduction<br>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.netfilter.org">Netfilter</a> - the
|
|
packet filter facility built into the 2.4 and later Linux kernels.</li>
|
|
<li>ipchains - the packet filter facility built into the 2.2
|
|
Linux kernels. Also the name of the utility program used to configure
|
|
and control that facility. Netfilter can be used in ipchains
|
|
compatibility mode.<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>iptables - the utility program used to configure and
|
|
control
|
|
Netfilter. The term 'iptables' is often used to refer to the
|
|
combination of iptables+Netfilter (with Netfilter not in
|
|
ipchains compatibility mode).<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
The
|
|
Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as "Shorewall", is
|
|
high-level tool for configuring Netfilter. You describe your
|
|
firewall/gateway requirements using entries in a set of configuration
|
|
files. Shorewall reads those configuration files and with the help of
|
|
the iptables utility, Shorewall configures Netfilter to match your
|
|
requirements. Shorewall can be used on a dedicated firewall system, a
|
|
multi-function gateway/router/server or on a standalone GNU/Linux
|
|
system. Shorewall does not use Netfilter's ipchains compatibility mode
|
|
and can thus take advantage of Netfilter's connection state tracking
|
|
capabilities.

<h2>This is the Shorewall 1.4 Web Site</h2>
|
|
The information on this site applies only to 1.4.x releases of
|
|
Shorewall. For older versions:<br>

<h2>Getting Started with Shorewall</h2>
|
|
New to Shorewall? Start by
|
|
selecting the <a href="shorewall_quickstart_guide.htm">QuickStart Guide</a>
|
|
that most closely match your environment and
|
|
follow the step by step instructions.<br>
|
|
<h2>Looking for Information?</h2>
|
|
The <a href="shorewall_quickstart_guide.htm#Documentation">Documentation
|
|
Index</a> is a good place to start as is the Quick Search to your
|
|
right.
|
|
<h2>Running Shorewall on Mandrake with a two-interface setup?</h2>
|
|
If so, the documentation<b> </b>on this site will not apply directly
|
|
to your setup. If you want to
|
|
use the documentation that you find here, you will want to consider
|
|
uninstalling what you have and installing a setup that matches the
|
|
documentation on this site. See the <a href="two-interface.htm">Two-interface
|
|
QuickStart Guide</a> for
|
|
details.

<b>Problems Corrected since version 1.4.6</b><br>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Corrected problem in 1.4.6 where the MANGLE_ENABLED
|
|
variable was being tested before it was set.</li>
|
|
<li>Corrected handling of MAC addresses in the SOURCE column of
|
|
the tcrules file. Previously, these addresses resulted in an invalid
|
|
iptables command.</li>
|
|
<li>The
|
|
"shorewall stop" command is now disabled when
|
|
/etc/shorewall/startup_disabled exists. This prevents people from
|
|
shooting themselves in the foot prior to having configured Shorewall.</li>
|
|
<li>A change introduced in version 1.4.6 caused error messages
|
|
during
|
|
"shorewall [re]start" when ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes and ip addresses were
|
|
being added to a PPP interface; the addresses were successfully added
|
|
in spite of the messages.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The firewall script has been modified to eliminate the error messages<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<b>Migration Issues:</b><br>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Once you have installed this version of Shorewall, you must
|
|
restart Shorewall before you may use the 'drop', 'reject', 'allow' or
|
|
'save' commands.</li>
|
|
<li>To maintain strict compatibility with previous versions,
|
|
current uses of "shorewall drop" and "shorewall reject" should be
|
|
replaced with "shorewall dropall" and "shorewall rejectall" </li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<b>New Features:</b><br>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Shorewall now creates a dynamic blacklisting chain for each
|
|
interface defined in /etc/shorewall/interfaces. The 'drop' and 'reject'
|
|
commands use the routing table to determine which of these chains is to
|
|
be used for blacklisting the specified IP address(es).<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Two new commands ('dropall' and 'rejectall') have been introduced that
|
|
do what 'drop' and 'reject' used to do; namely, when an address is
|
|
blacklisted using these new commands, it will be blacklisted on all of
|
|
your firewall's interfaces.</li>
|
|
<li>Thanks to Steve Herber, the 'help' command can now give
|
|
command-specific help (e.g., shorewall help <command>).</li>
|
|
<li>A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to
|
|
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. This option has a default value of "No"
|
|
for existing users which causes Shorewall's 'stopped' state to
|
|
continue as it has been; namely, in the stopped state only traffic
|
|
to/from hosts listed in /etc/shorewall/routestopped is accepted.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
With ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes (the default for new installs), in
|
|
addition to traffic to/from the hosts listed in
|
|
/etc/shorewall/routestopped, Shorewall will allow:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
a) All traffic originating from the firewall itself; and<br>
|
|
b) All traffic that is part of or related to an
|
|
already-existing connection.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a "shorewall stop"
|
|
entered through an ssh session will not kill the session.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Note though that even with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, it is still
|
|
possible for people to shoot themselves in the foot.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Example:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
/etc/shorewall/nat:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
206.124.146.178
|
|
eth0:0 192.168.1.5 <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
/etc/shorewall/rules:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
ACCEPT net
|
|
loc:192.168.1.5 tcp 22<br>
|
|
ACCEPT loc
|
|
fw tcp 22<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
From a remote system, I ssh to 206.124.146.178 which establishes an SSH
|
|
connection with local system 192.168.1.5. I then create a second SSH
|
|
connection
|
|
from that computer to the firewall and confidently type "shorewall
|
|
stop".
|
|
As part of its stop processing, Shorewall removes eth0:0 which kills my
|
|
SSH
|
|
connection to 192.168.1.5!!!</li>
|
|
<li>Given
|
|
the wide range of VPN software, I can never hope to add specific
|
|
support for all of it. I have therefore decided to add "generic" tunnel
|
|
support.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Generic tunnels work pretty much like any of the other tunnel types.
|
|
You usually add a zone to represent the systems at the other end of the
|
|
tunnel and you add the appropriate rules/policies to<br>
|
|
implement your security policy regarding traffic to/from those systems.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
In the /etc/shorewall/tunnels file, you can have entries of the form:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
generic:<protocol>[:<port>] <zone> <ip
|
|
address> <gateway zones><br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
where:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<protocol> is the protocol
|
|
used by the tunnel<br>
|
|
<port> if the protocol
|
|
is 'udp' or 'tcp' then this is the destination port number used by the
|
|
tunnel.<br>
|
|
<zone> is the zone of
|
|
the remote tunnel gateway<br>
|
|
<ip address> is the IP
|
|
address of the remote tunnel gateway.<br>
|
|
<gateway zone>
|
|
Optional. A comma-separated list of zone
|
|
names. If specified, the remote gateway is to be considered part of
|
|
these zones.</li>
|
|
<li>An 'arp_filter' option has been added to the
|
|
/etc/shorewall/interfaces file. This option causes
|
|
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<interface>/arp_filter to be set with the
|
|
result that this interface will only answer ARP 'who-has' requests from
|
|
hosts that are routed out through that interface. Setting this option
|
|
facilitates testing of your firewall where multiple firewall interfaces
|
|
are connected to the same HUB/Switch (all interfaces connected to the
|
|
single HUB/Switch should have this option specified). Note that using
|
|
such a configuration in a production environment is strongly
|
|
recommended against.<br>
