ssh wrappers like teleport's tsh do not correctly interpret the
double dash as an argument delimiter and will not work properly
with sshuttle. This PR adds a new command line switch to handle
these cases by not adding the delimiter.
Fixes#599
Allowing sshuttle to add/overwrite sudoers configuration file at
locations of the users' choosing adds complexity to the code compared
to asking users to install the sudo configuration themselves. It
requires sshuttle to make decisions about how much effort we put into
ensuring that the file is written to a proper location. The current
method relies on the 'realpath' program which is not installed on
MacOS by default.
There are serious problems when the sudo configuration is used to
allow a user to *only* run sshuttle as root (with or without a
password). First, that user could then use the --sudoers option to
give other users sudo privileges. Second, the user can run any command
as root because sshuttle accepts a --ssh-cmd parameter which allows a
user to specify a program that sshuttle should run. There may also be
additional issues that we have not identified.
By removing the --sudoers option (and the associated sudoers-add
script), this reduces the problems above. This code keeps the
--sudoers-no-modify feature which prints a configuration to stdout for
the user to install. It includes a clear warning about how --ssh-cmd
could potentially be abused to run other programs.
A warning about some of these issues has been in sshuttle since
version 1.1.0. This commit also adds that warning to more locations in
the documentation.
Previously, it was possible to run sshuttle locally without using ssh
and connecting to a remote server. In this configuration, traffic was
redirected to the sshuttle server running on the localhost. However,
the firewall needed to distinguish between traffic leaving the
sshuttle server and traffic that originated from the machine that
still needed to be routed through the sshuttle server. The TTL of the
packets leaving the sshuttle server were manipulated to indicate to
the firewall what should happen. The TTL was adjusted for all packets
leaving the sshuttle server (even if it wasn't necessary because the
server and client were running on different machines).
Changing the TTL caused trouble and some machines, and
the --ttl option was added as a workaround to change how the TTL was
set for traffic leaving sshuttle. All of this added complexity to the
code for a feature (running the server on localhost) that is likely
only used for testing and rarely used by others.
This commit updates the associated documentation, but doesn't fully
fix the ipfw method since I am unable to test that.
This change will also make sshuttle fail to work if -r is used to
specify a localhost. Pull request #610 partially addresses that issue.
For example, see: #240, #490, #660, #606.
If an exception occurs in hostwatch, sshuttle exits. Problems
read/writing the ~/.sshuttle.hosts cache file on the remote machine
would therefore cause sshuttle to exit. With this patch, we simply
continue running without writing/reading the cache file in the remote
home directory. This serves as an alternate fix for
pull request #322 which proposed storing the cache file elsewhere.
A list of included changes:
- If we can't read or write the host cache file on the server,
continue running. Hosts can be collected through the netstat,
/etc/hosts, etc and the information can be reconstructed each run if
a cache file isn't available to read. We write a log() message when
this occurs.
- Add additional types of exceptions to handle.
- Continue even if we cannot read /etc/hosts on the server.
- Update man page to mention the cache file on the remote host.
- Indicate that messages are related to remote host instead of local
host.
- Add comments and descriptions to the code.
The output in the examples provided in the man page hadn't been
updated as sshuttle changed its output over time.
The example of testing sshuttle without a remote host was removed. It
was the first example previously and it is something that is unlikely
users will wish to do.
Also:
- Update some --help messages.
- Manpage: Fix a typo.
- Manpage: Mention that host specified with -r can be an ssh alias.
- Eliminate variable only used once.
Even when --tmark was used, the iptables code always used '1' for the
mark. This patch corrects the problem.
Previously, it wasn't clear if the tmark should be supplied in
hexadecimal or as an integer. This makes it use hexadecimal, checks
that the input is hexadecimal, and updates the associated
documentation.
This patch also makes --ttl information get passed to the firewall in
a way that matches how other information gets passed. The ttl and
tmark information are passed next to each other in many places and
this patch also makes the order consistent.
If you use the tproxy method with a large subnet (such as 0/0), then
(1) you may not receive UDP packets that sshuttle/tproxy can handle
and (2) you are unable to connect to your machine using an IP that
your computer recognizes as its own.
To resolve those issues, any traffic to an IP that the host knows is
local, does not go through the sshuttle chains.
Due to message from CI:
DEPRECATION: Python 3.5 reached the end of its life on September 13th,
2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 3.5 is no longer maintained.
pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 3.5 in January 2021. pip 21.0 will
remove support for this functionality.
Previously, we would find DNS servers we wish to intercept traffic on
by reading /etc/resolv.conf. On systems using systemd-resolved,
/etc/resolv.conf points to localhost and then systemd-resolved
actually uses the DNS servers listed in
/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf. Many programs will route the DNS
traffic through localhost as /etc/resolv.conf indicates and sshuttle
would capture it. However, systemd-resolved also provides other
interfaces for programs to resolve hostnames besides the localhost
server in /etc/resolv.conf.
This patch adds systemd-resolved's servers into the list of DNS
servers when --dns is used.
Note that sshuttle will continue to fail to intercept any traffic sent
to port 853 for DNS over TLS (which systemd-resolved also supports).
For more info, see:
sshuttle issue #535https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-resolved.service.htmlhttps://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6076
Update docs to indicate that IPv6 is supported with the nft method.
- Adds nft into the requirements.rst file.
- Update description of what happens when a hostname is used in a
subnet.
- Add ipfw to list of methods.
- Indicate that --auto-nets does not work with IPv6. Previously this
was only mentioned in tproxy.rst
- Clarify that we try to use "python3" on the server before trying
"python".

This commit resolves#297, allowing the buffers used in the latency control to be changed with a command line option ‘--latency-buffer-size’.
We do this by changing a module variable in ssnet.py (similar to the MAX_CHANNEL variable) which seems to be the simplest code change without extensive hacking.
Documentation is also updated.
--ns-hosts is available since commit d2ee34d71c
("dns: Added --ns-hosts to tunnel only some requests")
(released as v0.72), but was never documented.
--to-ns is available since commit be559fc78b
("Fix case where there is no --dns.") after several
bugfixes, released as v0.78.4, but was never
documented.
