Topic: Ipchains



  
 Feature: They Can't Crack What They Can't Find
One more needed ipchains option is used to flush a chain -F. To remove all of the rules on the example machine we would use 'ipchains -F input'.
This is the output of ipchains -L -n on my example machine.
We can also use ipchains to insure that icmp packets will never be returned by our machine.

 ImageStream Internet Solutions, Inc. - ipchains Firewall
Ipchains is a powerful packet-filtering tool available on ImageStream routers with Enterprise Linux version 2.0 to 3.0.
If the packet passes through the input chain the system will then make a "Routing Decision." The router will decide if the packet needs to be forwarded, or if it is destined for a local interface on the router.
This document will provide examples on how to use Ipchains to add basic firewalling, port forwarding and network address translation (NAT) capabilities to your ImageStream router.

 Proxy Servers and ipchains
An example of use is "ipchains -A output -p tcp -d 0.0.0.0/0 telnet -t 0x01 0x10" These bits are used to set priority.
A circuit level relay firewall is also transparent to the client.
The "-A input" adds a rule to the input chain.

One problem is that the same tool (``ipchains'') is used to control both masquerading and transparent proxying, although these are notionally separate from packet filtering (the current Linux implementation blurs these together unnaturally, leaving the impression that they are closely related).
What You'll See When Your Computer Starts Up Before any ipchains commands have been run (be careful: some distributions run ipchains in their initialization scripts), there will be no rules in any of the built-in chains (`input', `forward' and `output'), and each of the chains will have a policy of ACCEPT.
ipchains has a fairly detailed manual page (man ipchains), and if you need more detail on particulars, you can check out the programming interface (man 4 ipfw), or the file net/ipv4/ip_fw.c in the 2.1.x kernel source, which is (obviously) authoritative.

 Linux Magazine - October 1999 Best Defense Beyond Ipchains
With ipchains, only the output interface name is available, so if you wanted to know where a packet came from, you had to examine its source address and use your knowledge of the network layout to figure what interface it must have entered through.
One of the problems with the ipchains HOWTO and the mailing list is that we get a number of questions on transparent proxying and masquerading, even though it really has nothing to do with packet filtering.
I wanted to rewrite packet filtering for 2.4, to make it faster and more flexible.

As mentioned, there are three default ipchains that can't be deleted--these are input, forward and output.
The iptables program, written by the author of ipchains, is an improved version of ipchains.
ipchains -A appends a rule to the chain input.

This (unofficial) HOWTO was written in order to help clarify the use of the new ipchains program, which is used for IP firewalling/packet filtering under Linux 2.1 and 2.2.
The rest of this document deals with situations in which your Linux server is being used as a router.

 Using Linux iptables or ipchains to set up an internet gateway / firewall / routerfor home or office.
Use Linux ipchains / iptables and IP forwarding to configure Linux as a firewall and router.
The request is returned to the gateway which then translates the IP address to computer on the private network which made the request.
Using Linux and iptables / ipchains one can configure a gateway which will allow all computers on a private network to connect to the internet via the gateway and one external IP address, using a technology called "Network Address Translation" (NAT) or masquerading and private subnets.

 IPChains
IPChains is a simple (static) packet filter and thus it only examines a packet's header.
In Unix wild-card notation, that means 127.*.*.*, but the *-notation is not legal syntax for ipchains, so we use /8.
ipchains -A input -i eth0 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A output -i eth0 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A input -s 192.168.0.0/16 -j DENY -l ipchains -A output -s 192.168.0.0/16 -j DENY -l
http://www.syrlug.org/contrib/ipchains.html

  
 NAT/Firewall
I've used ipchains to implement a NAT box (similar to the box above) and to firewall a computer with one network interface.
Here is an example that uses ipchains to filter a host with one network interface.
The current (2.2x) linux firewall code is called ipchains.

 Internet Connection Sharing for a simple home LAN
'ipchains' is initialized with just three rules or 'chains', input, output and forward.
We will deploy a linux masquerading firewall solution using ipchains to allow the internet connection from the linux router to the internet to be shared with one other machine on the Local Area Network (LAN).
We have the physical network setup and configured; now all that remains is to create a set of rules which will allow the Linux router to forward network traffic to/from the win95 machine and the external network/internet.

To learn about the `ipchains` syntax and general usage, goto the IPCHAINS-HOWTO.
Here is a general overview of ipchains for Fd Linux.
This will be a very straight-forward, intuitive mini-HowTo, so in essence, you are not going to learn the `ipchains` command in this HowTo, but rather, how it will be implemented under Fd Linux.

 TrinityOS: A Guide to Configuring Your Linux Server for Performance, Security, and Manageability: Advanced firewall ...
The problem is, IPFWADM and IPCHAINS aren't smart enough yet to understand all TCP/IP programs such like TELNET, WWW, SSH, etc.
A IPTABLES ruleset is under developement but is a slow project as it is an entire rewrite and will offer far more features.
This allows # for strong filtering for simple one interface PPP users, two interface # MASQ users, and even three interface MASQ users with a DMZ segment.

 ipchains -- port forwarding -- bittorrent
The problem was the old linux version uses ipchains instead of the newer iptables to configure/install the firewall.

 comp.os.linux.security FAQ
In IPChains, all incoming packets pass through the input chain, irrespective of whether they are destined for the local machine or some other machine.
Nstreams: http://www.hsc.fr/ressources/outils/nstreams/index.html.en - Nstreams analyzes the streams that occcur on a network, and optionally generates the IPchains or ipfw rules that will match these streams, thus only allowing what is required for the users, and nothing more.

 Setting up a Linux Home Gateway
Though I will give examples for both ipchains and iptables, I would suggest you to start using iptables because of the greater flexibility and the reasons as explained above.
See if they are okay as per the instructions.
If you have a very old system with low memory (<8MB), suggest you to use only ipchains.

In this example, we've used a selection of user-defined chains both to simplify management of our firewall configuration and improve the efficiency of our firewall as compared to a solution involving only the built-in chains.

 IPchains Firewalling Module for Webmin
The IPchains Firewalling Module, part of the RockSolid Linux Distribution, allows you to easily maintain a firewall based on ipchains with the Webmin look and feel.
It has three modes: Newbie (select one of five security levels), Template (define from a table with protocols and directions what should be allowed to pass your firewall), and Expert (have the real ipchains experience by having every parameter under control by editing a script file which has all ipchains rules).
Nearly all of the ipchains options are supported.

 Kurt Seifried - LASG / Firewalling with IPChains
IPChains contains several new features as compared to ipfwadm; you can create chains of rules (hence the name) and link them together, making administration of firewalls far easier.
As such it is very powerful, for example I could redirect all packets bound for port 80 (www traffic) going through my gateway machine to be redirected to local port 3128, the Squid proxy server.
IPChains supports more targets then ipfwadm; you can point a rule at: ACCEPT, DENY, REJECT, MASQ, REDIRECT, or RETURN or a user defined chain.

 Linux Headquarters: ipchains Configuration
One central computer is connected to the internet through any means such as dial-up, cable modem, ISDN, DSL, or T1, runs the ipchains utility, and thus acts as the firewall to the internet.
For an internet proxy see Squid Proxy Server Configuration.
    The clients must be configured to use ipchains.

If your gateway is also a masquerading gateway to the Internet, you should use the rightfirewall parameter in ipsec.conf and adapt the _updown script to ipchains (or anything used to control your firewall chains).
Or you can also use the forwardcontrol parameter in ipsec.conf.
