Beginning with Shorewall version 1.3.10, all traffic from an interface
or from a subnet on an interface can be verified to originate from a defined
set of MAC addresses. Furthermore, each MAC address may be optionally associated
with one or more IP addresses. There are four components to this facility.<br>
<ol>
<li>The <b>maclist</b> interface option in <a
href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</a>. When this
option is specified, all traffic arriving on the interface is subjet to MAC
verification.</li>
<li>The <b>maclist </b>option in <a href="Documentation.htm#Hosts">/etc/shorewall/hosts</a>.
When this option is specified for a subnet, all traffic from that subnet
is subject to MAC verification.</li>
<li>The /etc/shorewall/maclist file. This file is used to associate
MAC addresses with interfaces and to optionally associate IP addresses with
MAC addresses.</li>
<li>The <b>MACLIST_DISPOSITION </b>and <b>MACLIST_LOG_LEVEL </b>variables
in <a href="Documentation.htm#Conf">/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf.</a> The
MACLIST_DISPOSITION variable has the value DROP, REJECT or ACCEPT and determines
the disposition of connection requests that fail MAC verification. The MACLIST_LOG_LEVEL
variable gives the syslogd level at which connection requests that fail verification
are to be logged. If set the the empty value (e.g., MACLIST_LOG_LEVEL="")
then failing connection requests are not logged.<br>
</li>
</ol>
The columns in /etc/shorewall/maclist are:<br>
<ul>
<li>INTERFACE - The name of an ethernet interface on the Shorewall system.</li>
<li>MAC - The MAC address of a device on the ethernet segment connected
by INTERFACE. It is not necessary to use the Shorewall MAC format in this
column although you may use that format if you so choose.</li>
<li>IP Address - An optional comma-separated list of IP addresses for
the device whose MAC is listed in the MAC column.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Example 1: Here are my files:</h3>
<b>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf:<br>
</b>
<pre> MACLIST_DISPOSITION=REJECT<br> MACLIST_LOG_LEVEL=info<br></pre>
<b>/etc/shorewall/interfaces:</b><br>
<pre> #ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS<br> net eth0 206.124.146.255 norfc1918,filterping,dhcp,blacklist<br> loc eth2 192.168.1.255 dhcp,filterping,maclist<br> dmz eth1 192.168.2.255 filterping<br> net eth3 206.124.146.255 filterping,blacklist<br> - texas 192.168.9.255 filterping<br> loc ppp+ - filterping<br></pre>
<b>/etc/shorewall/maclist:</b><br>
<pre> #INTERFACE MAC IP ADDRESSES (Optional)<br> eth2 00:A0:CC:63:66:89 192.168.1.3 #Wookie<br> eth2 00:10:B5:EC:FD:0B 192.168.1.4 #Tarry<br> eth2 00:A0:CC:DB:31:C4 192.168.1.5 #Ursa<br> eth2 00:06:25:aa:a8:0f 192.168.1.7 #Eastept1 (Wireless)<br> eth2 00:04:5A:0E:85:B9 192.168.1.250 #Wap<br></pre>
As shown above, I use MAC Verification on <a href="myfiles.htm">my local
zone</a>.<br>
<h3>Example 2: Router in Local Zone</h3>
Suppose now that I add a second ethernet segment to my local zone and
gateway that segment via a router with MAC address 00:06:43:45:C6:15 and
IP address 192.168.1.253. Hosts in the second segment have IP addresses
in the subnet 192.168.2.0/24. I would add the following entry to my /etc/shorewall/maclist
file:<br>
<pre> eth2 00:06:43:45:C6:15 192.168.1.253,192.168.2.0/24<br></pre>
This entry accomodates traffic from the router itself (192.168.1.253)
and from the second LAN segment (192.168.2.0/24). Remember that all traffic
being sent to my firewall from the 192.168.2.0/24 segment will be forwarded
by the router so that traffic's MAC address will be that of the router (00:06:43:45:C6:15)
and not that of the host sending the traffic.

<br>
Given that I develop and support Shorewall without asking for any renumeration,
I can hardly justify paying $200US+ a year to a Certificate Authority such
as Thawte (A Division of VeriSign) for an X.509 certificate to prove that
I am who I am. I have therefore established my own Certificate Authority (CA)
and sign my own X.509 certificates. I use these certificates on my web server
(<a href="http://www.shorewall.net">http://www.shorewall.net</a>) as well
as on my mail server (mail.shorewall.net).<br>
<br>
X.509 certificates are the basis for the Secure Socket Layer (SSL). As part
of establishing an SSL session (URL https://...), your browser verifies the
X.509 certificate supplied by the HTTPS server against the set of Certificate
Authority Certificates that were shipped with your browser. It is expected
that the server's certificate was issued by one of the authorities whose identities
are known to your browser. <br>
<br>
This mechanism, while supposedly guaranteeing that when you connect to https://www.foo.bar
you are REALLY connecting to www.foo.bar, means that the CAs literally have
a license to print money -- they are selling a string of bits (an X.509 certificate)
for $200US+ per year!!!I <br>
<br>
I wish that I had decided to become a CA rather that designing and writing
Shorewall.<br>
<br>
What does this mean to you? It means that the X.509 certificate that my
server will present to your browser will not have been signed by one of the
authorities known to your browser. If you try to connect to my server using
SSL, your browser will frown and give you a dialog box asking if you want
to accept the sleezy X.509 certificate being presented by my server. <br>
<br>
There are two things that you can do:<br>
<ol>
<li>You can accept the www.shorewall.net certificate when your browser
asks -- your acceptence of the certificate can be temporary (for that access
only) or perminent.</li>
<li>You can download and install <a href="ca.crt">my (self-signed) CA
certificate.</a> This will make my Certificate Authority known to your browser
so that it will accept any certificate signed by me. <br>
</li>
</ol>
What are the risks?<br>
<ol>
<li>If you install my CA certificate then you assume that I am trustworthy
and that Shorewall running on your firewall won't redirect HTTPS requests
intented to go to your bank's server to one of my systems that will present
your browser with a bogus certificate claiming that my server is that of
your bank.</li>
<li>If you only accept my server's certificate when prompted then the
most that you have to loose is that when you connect to https://www.shorewall.net,
the server you are connecting to might not be mine.</li>
</ol>
I have my CA certificate loaded into all of my browsers but I certainly
won't be offended if you decline to load it into yours... :-)<br>
