little problem with nat , resending packets to wrong destination.

[bladi <bladi@euskalnet.net>]

Hi the last day a notice a extrange thing with my packetsniffer one host
recive a packet that i request from the linux "router"


Network:


-----ppp0 modem-- [Linux router]eth0------[Honneypot]---

			192.168.1.2	  192.168.1.56

i have 2 rules  in iptables

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING --in-interface ppp0 --protocol tcp
--destination-port ! ssh --jump DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.5

I usaly use the linux router to work and the  honneypot to fun & profit.

i always exeute  tcpdump -i eth0 -s 9000 -w LOGFILE  on the router
machine.

The last day when im making a revision of the log , i discover that in
the log i could raead a "response" of an http request  that i do from
router linux ( i make a the request  to external site over ppp
connection).

|---|
unfornatly i only have the snoop of the ppp0 interface.

80.34.69.xxx = external server


1) i make http request to 80.34.69.xxx server
2) i read the web contents correctly
3) aparently the kernel forward the response to 192.168.1.56 (honeypot)



#tcpdump  -r JAULA6 -n 'tcp port 80 && host 80.34.69.xxx'

03:28:03.303637 80.34.69.xxx.80 > 192.168.1.56.33352: .

2877177511:2877177511(0) win 0

#tcpdump  -r JAULA6 -n 'tcp port 3000 && host 80.34.69.xxx'


03:17:04.803886 80.34.69.xxx.3000 > 192.168.1.56.33329: P
3209289308:3209289324(16) ack 2224478666 win 6720 <nop,nop,timestamp

2224478666:2224478666(0) win 0

In the 2 case the honneypot respond with rst because he dont start the
conexion.


This happend rarely only 2 times in 1 day :|



Bye!
