Hi, guys:

 

    One customer asked me about the possibility of install in an
iptables based firewall some sort of solution (perhaps a proxy) it could
add/delete rules based on users login into a SMB(Samba/NT) server. He
want to grant or deny access to Internet (TCP/IP) based on authenticated
users, not the IP or MAC. It's not a bad idea, but I don't know if it
even exists... I've googled and found nothing about this kind of
solution. Anyway, I told him I could check it out, and... here I am. :-)

    Do you have any idea about a solution like this using iptables and
"something" else? 

    Any info will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks!

 

Cheers,

    Gustavo.

block port 137

Dear all,
How to block outgoing traffic over network that using port 137 udp, because my isp tell me that my network broadcast virus using port 137 udp, i want to make all traffic (port 137) do go outside my network, so i plan to blocking that traffic from my gateway.

I already try to do this rules, but not working :
#iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -s 0/0 --dport 137 -j DROP

try dropping packets both with dport 137 and also with sport 137.

I disagree.

Try ACCEPTing the packets you *want* to go through the firewall, and DROP 
everything else.

Don't create individual rules to DROP the traffic you think you don't want 
(you will always forget something, or there will be a new problem next week 
which requires a new rule, etc).

Instead create individual rules to ACCEPT the traffic you need, and DROP 
anything which doesn't fit that description.

Antony.

Your terminology is very much true but David has already applied  the
rule
#iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -s 0/0 --dport 137 -j DROP
but then also he isn't able to stop output traffic through port 137.
So in this scenario he should appply the above rule for both --sport 
and --dport.
#iptables -I FORWARD -p udp -s 0/0 --dport 137 -j DROP
#iptables -I FORWARD -p udp -s 0/0 --sport 137 -j DROP

That is not the same rule as "iptables -I FORWARD......"

I suspect he has a rule somewhere in the ruleset which is allowing the packets 
(perhaps based on source address?), which adding a rule at the end will not 
solve.   Putting the DROP rule at the top of the ruleset makes a big 
difference.

If the problem is packets to random destination ports, *from* UDP port 137, 
then it doesn't sound like what the ISP originally complained about, and 
what's the threat anyway (since destination port is what matters in terms of 
vulnerabilities and exploits)?

Regards,

Antony.

Well, from my point of view he should add to these rules:
# iptables -P FORWARD DROP
# iptables -F FORWARD

Then he should fix his network by imaging compromised hosts for further
analysis, flatting them and installing them from trusted sources.  Later
he should look for an appropriate L.A.R.T. for the users of the machines
and maybe go online again.

YMMV,

Dear Antony,
I agree with you, i must block all traffic and accept one-by-one rules that
i want, but the problem is i don't know how to do this ...., btw.. this in
my rules

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source 202.46.146.161

iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -s 0/0 --dport 137 -j DROP

I know this rules is very weak.... can you help me to make my firewall
strongger......

1. Here's the basic idea:

iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i $INTIF -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i $INTIF -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i $INTIF -p tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -j LOG

These rules mean "DROP any packets which I don't have a rule to ACCEPT, then 
ACCEPT all packets except the first of any connection, then ACCEPT the first 
packets for web browsing and DNS, then LOG any other packets which try to get 
through."

2. The important part of the above ruleset, for someone like you who is not 
quite sure what rules to use to ACCEPT the packets you want (and you don't 
want to default DROP any packets by omission), is the final LOG rule.

That rule will tell you what packets are trying to get through the ruleset, 
but haven't been ACCEPTed by one of the previous rules - and you may want to 
add a rule to specifically ACCEPT some of them.   Of course, you may *not* 
want to accept some of them either, so you're happy for those to continue 
being DROPped.   In that case (packets you know that you don't want), the 
next refinement of the ruleset is:

3. Add some specific DROP rules just before the final LOG rule, so that the 
packets you know about and do not want get DROPped without being logged.

The final outcome of this is a ruleset which:
a) ACCEPTs the packets you know you want
b) DROPs the packets you know you don't want
c) LOGs any other packets you haven't thought about or weren't expecting

As you can see, you can build such a ruleset gradually - if you don't want to 
disrupt communications through the firewall as you do it, just leave the 
default policy on ACCEPT as you add the specific ACCEPT rules, and then once 
you have no more wanted packets being DROPped, you can set the policy to DROP 
and concentrate on cutting down what gets LOGged.

I do recommend studying one of the netfilter tutorials such as Oskar 
Andreasson's at http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net so that you get a 
better understanding of how packets make their way through netfilter, and 
also what packets are necessary for correct and efficient operation of a 
network (some of them may be non-obvious, such as TCP DNS in my mini-ruleset 
above, or certain types of ICMP packets etc).

Antony.

Okay, then do so.  Take a piece of paper, sketch you topology with every
network and add special hosts, like the mailserver at 172.16.128.50.
Then ask yourself: what should go from the internet to your subnet and
reverse.

This would be my basic layout.  You should tweak it as needed.  Some
further tips:  RTFM <URL:http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/>; use
userdefined chains (eg. you could split your FORWARD into an incomming
and an outgoing chain); use -j LOG and tail -f $logfile to determine
unknown traffic; tcpdumps are usefull too.

1. Why are you allowing UDP 137 packets through your firewall anyway?   They 
must be matching *some* rule on your machine in order to get through at all - 
of course it could be a default ACCEPT policy rule (if it is then you should 
certainly change that).

2. The rule you have suggested uses "-A" to append to the end of the ruleset - 
what are the other rules which come before it?   Presumably one of those must 
be allowing the packets through...

Show us your ruleset, tell us how you're testing.

Regards,

Antony.

you also have to use 
iptables -A FORWARD -p udp --sport 137 -j DROP
