  <section>
    <title>Shorewall 3.0 and Kernel 2.6 IPSEC</title>

    <para>This is <emphasis role="bold">not</emphasis> a HOWTO for Kernel 2.6
    IPSEC -- for that, please see <ulink
    url="http://www.ipsec-howto.org/">http://www.ipsec-howto.org/</ulink>.</para>

    <para>The 2.6 Linux Kernel introduces new facilities for defining
    encrypted communication between hosts in a network. The network
    administrator defines a set of <firstterm>Security Policies</firstterm>
    which are stored in the kernel as a <firstterm>Security Policy
    Database</firstterm> (SPD). Security policies determine which traffic is
    subject to encryption. <firstterm>Security Associations</firstterm> are
    created between pairs of hosts in the network (one SA for traffic in each
    direction); these SAs define how traffic is to be encrypted. Outgoing
    traffic that is to be encrypted according to the contents of the SPD
    requires an appropriate SA to exist. SAs may be created manually using
    <command>setkey</command>(8) but most often, they are created by a
    cooperative process involving the ISAKMP protocol and daemons such
    as<command> racoon</command> or <command>isakmpd</command>. Incoming
    traffic is verified against the SPD to ensure that no unencrypted traffic
    is accepted in violation of the administrator's policies.</para>

    <para>There are three ways in which IPSEC traffic can interact with
    Shorewall policies and rules:</para>

    <orderedlist>
      <listitem>
        <para>Traffic that is encrypted on the firewall system. The traffic
        passes through Netfilter twice -- first as unencrypted then
        encrypted.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para>Traffic that is decrypted on the firewall system. The traffic
        passes through Netfilter twice -- first as encrypted then as
        unencrypted.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para>Encrypted traffic that is passed through the firewall system.
        The traffic passes through Netfilter once.</para>
      </listitem>
    </orderedlist>

    <para>In cases 1 and 2, the encrypted traffic is handled by entries in
    <filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename> (don't be mislead by the name
    of the file -- <emphasis>transport mode</emphasis> encrypted traffic is
    also handled by entries in that file). The unencrypted traffic is handled
    by normal rules and policies.</para>

    <para>Under the 2.4 Linux Kernel, the association of unencrypted traffic
    and zones was made easy by the presense of IPSEC pseudo-interfaces with
    names of the form <filename class="devicefile">ipsecn</filename> (e.g.
    <filename class="devicefile">ipsec0</filename>). Outgoing unencrypted
    traffic (case 1.) was send through an <filename
    class="devicefile">ipsecn</filename> device while incoming unencrypted
    traffic (case 2) arrived from an <filename
    class="devicefile">ipsecn</filename> device. The 2.6 kernel-based
    implementation does away with these pseudo-interfaces. Outgoing traffic
    that is going to be encrypted and incoming traffic that has been decrypted
    must be matched against policies in the SPD and/or the appropriate
    SA.</para>

    <para>Shorewall provides support for policy matching in three ways:</para>

    <orderedlist>
      <listitem>
        <para>In <filename>/etc/shorewall/masq</filename>, traffic that will
        later be encrypted is exempted from MASQUERADE/SNAT using existing
        entries. If you want to MASQUERADE/SNAT outgoing traffic that will
        later be encrypted, you must include the appropriate indication in the
        new IPSEC column in that file.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para>The<filename> </filename><ulink
        url="Documentation.htm#Zones"><filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename></ulink>
        file allows you to associate zones with traffic that will be encrypted
        or that has been decrypted.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para>A new option (<emphasis role="bold">ipsec</emphasis>) has been
        provided for entries in <filename>/etc/shorewall/hosts</filename>.
        When an entry has this option specified, traffic to/from the hosts
        described in the entry is assumed to be encrypted.</para>
      </listitem>
    </orderedlist>

    <para>In summary, Shorewall provides the facilities to replace the use of
    ipsec pseudo-interfaces in zone and MASQUERADE/SNAT definition.</para>

    <para>There are two cases to consider:</para>

    <orderedlist>
      <listitem>
        <para>Encrypted communication is used to/from all hosts in a
        zone.</para>

        <para>The value <emphasis role="bold">ipsec</emphasis> is placed in
        the TYPE column of the <filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename> entry
        for the zone.</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para>By default, encrypted communication is not used to communicate
        with the hosts in a zone.</para>

        <para>The value <emphasis role="bold">plain</emphasis> is placed in
        the TYPE column of the <filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename> entry
        for the zone and the new <emphasis role="bold">ipsec</emphasis> option
        is specified in <filename>/etc/shorewall/hosts</filename> for any
        hosts requiring secure communication.</para>
      </listitem>
    </orderedlist>

    <note>
      <para>For simple zones such as are shown in the following examples, the
      two techniques are equivalent and are used interchangably.</para>
    </note>

    <note>
      <para>It is redundent to have <emphasis role="bold">ipsec</emphasis> in
      the TYPE column of the <filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename> entry
      for a zone and to also have the <emphasis role="bold">ipsec</emphasis>
      option in <filename>/etc/shorewall/hosts</filename> entries for that
      zone.</para>
    </note>

    <para>Finally, the OPTIONS, IN OPTIONS and OUT OPTIONS columns in
    /etc/shorewall/zones can be used to match the zone to a particular (set
    of) SA(s) used to encrypt and decrypt traffic to/from the zone and the
    security policies that select which traffic to encrypt/decrypt.</para>

    <para>This article assumes the use of ipsec-tools (<ulink
    url="http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net">http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net</ulink>).
    As of this writing, I recommend that you run at least version 0.5.2.
    Debian users, please note that there are separate Debian packages for
    ipsec-tools and racoon although the ipsec-tools project releases them as a
    single package.</para>

    <para>For more information on IPSEC, Kernel 2.6 and Shorewall see <ulink
    url="LinuxFest.pdf">my presentation on the subject given at LinuxFest NW
    2005</ulink>. Be warned though that the presentation is based on Shorewall
    2.2 and there are some differences in the details of how IPSEC is
    configured.</para>

  <section>
    <title>IPSec Gateway on the Firewall System</title>

    <para>Suppose that we have the following sutuation:</para>

    <graphic fileref="images/TwoNets1.png" />

    <para>We want systems in the 192.168.1.0/24 sub-network to be able to
    communicate with systems in the 10.0.0.0/8 network. We assume that on both
    systems A and B, eth0 is the internet interface.</para>

    <para>To make this work, we need to do two things:</para>

    <orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
      <listitem>
        <para>Open the firewall so that the IPSEC tunnel can be established
        (allow the ESP and AH protocols and UDP Port 500).</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para>Allow traffic through the tunnel.</para>
      </listitem>
    </orderedlist>

    <para>Opening the firewall for the IPSEC tunnel is accomplished by adding
    an entry to the <filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename> file.</para>

    <para>In <filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename> on system A, we need
    the following</para>

    <blockquote>
      <para><filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename> — System A:</para>

      <programlisting>#TYPE         ZONE        GATEWAY             GATEWAY ZONE
ipsec         net         134.28.54.2
#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>

      <para><filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename> — System B:</para>

      <programlisting>#TYPE         ZONE        GATEWAY             GATEWAY ZONE
ipsec         net         206.162.148.9
#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <note>
      <para>If either of the endpoints is behind a NAT gateway then the
      tunnels file entry on the <emphasis role="bold">other</emphasis>
      endpoint should specify a tunnel type of ipsecnat rather than ipsec and
      the GATEWAY address should specify the external address of the NAT
      gateway.</para>
    </note>

    <para>You need to define a zone for the remote subnet or include it in
    your local zone. In this example, we'll assume that you have created a
    zone called <quote>vpn</quote> to represent the remote subnet.</para>

    <blockquote>
      <para><filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename> — Systems A and
      B:</para>

      <programlisting>#ZONE          TYPE             OPTIONS             IN           OUT
#                                                   OPTIONS      OPTIONS
vpn            plain
net            plain
#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>Remember the assumption that both systems A and B have eth0 as their
    internet interface.</para>

    <para>You must define the vpn zone using the
    <filename>/etc/shorewall/hosts</filename> file. The hosts file entries
    below assume that you want the remote gateway to be part of the vpn zone —
    If you don't wish the remote gateway included, simply omit it's IP address
    from the HOSTS column.</para>

    <blockquote>
      <para>/etc/shorewall/hosts — System A</para>

      <programlisting>#ZONE             HOSTS                                OPTIONS
vpn               eth0:10.0.0.0/8,134.28.54.2        <emphasis role="bold">  ipsec</emphasis>
#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>

      <para>/etc/shorewall/hosts — System B</para>

      <programlisting>#ZONE             HOSTS                                OPTIONS
vpn               eth0:192.168.1.0/24,206.162.148.9    <emphasis role="bold">ipsec</emphasis>
#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>Assuming that you want to give each local network free access to the
    remote network and vice versa, you would need the following
    <filename>/etc/shorewall/policy</filename> entries on each system:</para>

    <blockquote>
      <programlisting>#SOURCE          DESTINATION            POLICY          LEVEL       BURST:LIMIT
loc              vpn                    ACCEPT
vpn              loc                    ACCEPT</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>Once you have these entries in place, restart Shorewall (type
    shorewall restart); you are now ready to configure IPSEC.</para>

    <para>For full encrypted connectivity in this configuration (between the
    subnets, between each subnet and the opposite gateway, and between the
    gateways), you will need eight policies in
    <filename>/etc/racoon/setkey.conf</filename>. For example, on gateway
    A:</para>

    <blockquote>
      <programlisting># First of all flush the SPD and SAD databases

      local zone. In this example, we'll assume that you have created a zone
      called <quote>vpn</quote> to represent the remote host.</para>

      <blockquote>
        <para>/etc/shorewall/zones — System A</para>

        <programlisting>#ZONE          TYPE             OPTIONS             IN           OUT

      </blockquote>

      <para>In this instance, the mobile system (B) has IP address 134.28.54.2
      but that cannot be determined in advance. In the
      <filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename> file on system A, the
      following entry should be made:<blockquote>
          <programlisting>#TYPE         ZONE        GATEWAY             GATEWAY ZONE
ipsec         net         0.0.0.0/0           vpn
#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>
        </blockquote></para>

      <para><note>
          <para>the GATEWAY ZONE column contains the name of the zone
          corresponding to peer subnetworks. This indicates that the gateway
          system itself comprises the peer subnetwork; in other words, the
          remote gateway is a standalone system.</para>
        </note></para>

      <para>The VPN zone is defined using the /etc/shorewall/hosts
      file:</para>

      <blockquote>
        <para>/etc/shorewall/hosts — System A:</para>

        <programlisting>#ZONE             HOSTS                  OPTIONS

#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>
      </blockquote>

      <para>You will need to configure your <quote>through the tunnel</quote>
      policy as shown under the first example above.</para>

      <para>If system A is running kernel 2.6.10 or later then it must also be
      running ipsec-tools (racoon) 0.5rc1 or later.</para>

      <para>On the mobile system (system B), it is not possible to create a
      static IPSEC configuration because the IP address of the laptop's
      internet connection isn't static. I have created an 'ipsecvpn' script
      and included in the tarball and in the RPM's documentation directory;
      this script can be used to start and stop the connection.</para>

      <para>The ipsecvpn script has some variable assignments at the top -- in
      the above case, these would be as follows:</para>

      <blockquote>
        <programlisting>#
# External Interface
#
INTERFACE=eth0
#
# Remote IPSEC Gateway
#
GATEWAY=206.162.148.9
#
# Networks behind the remote gateway

#
# Directory where X.509 certificates are stored.
#
CERTS=/etc/certs
#
# Certificate to be used for this connection. The cert
# directory must contain:
#
#     ${CERT}.pem     - the certificate
#     ${CERT}_key.pem - the certificates's key
#

#
SETKEY=/usr/sbin/setkey
#
#     The racoon binary
#
RACOON=/usr/sbin/racoon</programlisting>
      </blockquote>

      <para>The ipsecvpn script can be installed in /etc/init.d/ but it is
      probably best installed in /usr/local/sbin and run manually:</para>

      <blockquote>
        <para><command>ipsecvpn start </command># Starts the tunnel</para>

        <para><command>ipsecvpn stop</command> # Stops the tunnel</para>
      </blockquote>
    </example>

    <warning>
      <para>Although the ipsecvpn script allows you to specify multiple remote
      NETWORKS as a space-separated list, SAs are created on the gateway only
      during ISAKMP negotiation. So in practice, only the first remote network
      accessed will be accessible from the roadwarrior.</para>

    <title>Transport Mode</title>

    <para>In today's wireless world, it is often the case that individual
    hosts in a network need to establish secure connections with the other
    hosts in that network. In that case, IPSEC transport mode is an
    appropriate solution.</para>

    using the ipsec-tools package. The files shown are from host
    192.168.20.10; the configuration of the other nodes is similar.</para>

    <title>IPSEC and <trademark>Windows</trademark> XP</title>

    <para>I have successfully configured my work laptop to use IPSEC with
    X.509 certificates for wireless IP communication when it is undocked at
    home. I looked at dozens of sites and the one I found most helpful was
    <ulink
    url="http://ipsec.math.ucla.edu/services/ipsec-windows.html">http://ipsec.math.ucla.edu/services/ipsec-windows.html</ulink>.
    The instructions on that site are directed to students at UCLA but they
    worked fine for me (once I followed them very carefully).</para>

    <warning>
      <para>The instructions found on the UCLA site are complex and do not
      include any information on the generation of X.509 certificates. There
      are lots of sites however that can tell you how to generate
      certificates, including <ulink
      url="http://www.ipsec-howto.org/">http://www.ipsec-howto.org/</ulink>.</para>

      <para>One piece of information that may not be so easy to find is "How
      do I generate a PKCS#12 certificate to import into Windows?". Here's the
      openssl command that I used:</para>

      <programlisting><command>openssl pkcs12 -export -in eastepnc6000.pem -inkey eastepnc6000_key.pem -out eastepnc6000.pfx -name "IPSEC Cert for Home Wireless"</command> </programlisting>

      <para>I was prompted for a password to associate with the certificate.
      This password is entered on the Windows system during import.</para>

      <para>In the above command:</para>

      <itemizedlist>
        <listitem>
          <para><filename>eastepnc6000.pem</filename> was the laptop's
          certificate in PEM format.</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para><filename>eastepnc6000_key.pem</filename> was the laptop's
          private key (actually, it's the original signing request which
          includes the private key).</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para><filename>eastepnc6000.pfx</filename> is the PKCS#12 output
          file.</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>"IPSEC Cert for Home Wireless" is the friendly name for the
          certificate.</para>
        </listitem>
      </itemizedlist>

      <para>I started to write an article about how to do this, complete with
      graphics captured from my laptop. I gave up. I had captured 12 images
      and hadn't really started yet. The Windows interface for configuring
      IPSEC is the worst GUI that I have ever used. What can be displayed on
      one split Emacs screen (racoon.conf plus setkey.conf) takes 20+
      different dialog boxes on Windows XP!!!</para>
