There is an excellent firewall-generating application called mason, that generates ipchains/ipfwadm scripts automatically, by 'learning' the current network communication. I'm not trying to claim it's as good as an ipchains rules a good administrator writes from scratch, and I wouldn't dream of using that in a commercial environment, but for home users it's more than enough to build a good firewall script that actually *works*. I'd also recommend experienced network administrators to take a look at this unique application, since it's definitely an interesting concept.

firewall again + Mandrake Demoes
Hi again, I probably should have said in my previous post that I'm interested in a firewall for my home network connected to ADSL so the suggestions for commercial software were not what I was looking for. In any case, thanks for all the answers. At the moment I think I'll try pmfirewall and / or Mason which sound like what I'm looking for. BTW - if anyone is intersted there's a great tutorial on firewalls, masquerading, and Internet sharing on www.mandrake.com in the DEMO section. I was able to set up my network to share my ADSL connection by following the steps. It may be **too detailed** for some since it's apparently meant for newbies. They even explain trivial things like how to download the firewall package, how to untar, and how to install.

There's another option to consider, if you happen to have a spare 486. There are a couple of one-floppy distributions (load from the floppy, run with a ramdisk). Looking at http://freshmeat.net/appindex/console/mini%20distributions.html I see a couple of them, even one or two spesifically made for ADSL. Never tried any, though. You get a very simple system (no gcc for the intruder ;) and all the configuration sits on a floppy.

Re: firewall
Duplicating exactly the FW-1 functionality in an opensource project is not practical, due to a patent on stateful inspection. This gives the FW-1 product the ability to open specific ports that would normally be blocked, because, for example, an FTP protocol request required that port. If you wanted to support the same protocol with a static packet filtering firewall (such as IPChains), either this, or probably a lot more, ports would have to be permanently open. To the best of my understanding, hoping to get a license to implement a patent in an open source project is almost always impossible (with the RSA example as an exception, and a rather weak one at that). It may be possible to bypass the patent by employing some sort of traffic sniffer that changes the rules on the fly. This greatly depends on the exact wording of the checkpoint patent.

I don't know anything about the patent, but Linux already has "stateful inspection", in its masquarading code. If you have a linux firewall, and a network of other computers behind it, Linux does IP masquarading very nicely, and knows to allow incoming packets only on open sessions. You also have "masq" modules that can allow incoming packets/connections "related" to an open session - for example, FTP needs another port opened besides the one you're opening. Unfortunately, ipchains itself does *NOT* support sessions, so you can't allow, for example, incoming packets (destined for the LINUX HOST ITSELF, not masquaraded hosts behind it) to be allowed only if the local host opened the port first. Iptables, the firewalling code in the 2.4 kernel, will support this, and I'm really looking forward for it - I'm not sure if FW1 will have anything better in the firewall area than Linux after that (and I'm not talking on VPN or proxy support now). But ipchains works very nicely even without supporting sessions. One very important feature that you should be aware of is the "-y" option, that allow incoming packets, but not incoming TCP packets with SYN on (i.e., even if the attacket sends packets to some open port, and even if something is listening on that port, the attacker will *not* be able to make the connection!

It all started by me asking why I should get every mail twice (people hitting "reply-to all"). The result were, on one hand, an email by Nadav asking to add the "Reply-To:" field to the headers. On the other hand, there was an email by Gilad explaining (or actually - pointing) about why a mailing list should NOT add "Reply-To:" headers. One of the reasons mentioned there for not adding the header was that this causes you to risk a personally intended email to be sent to the entire list, as well as losing needed information in order to be able to contact the original poster, and necessiting manual operation in order to actually reply in private. Due to all that hassle, and the extremly "under cover" approach that both Yosi and Eli have taken about the misdirected email, I vote the "reply-to:" field be removed from the headers.

One thing not commonly mentioned in regard to "stateful inspection" is the risk it *introduces* to your setting. Consider the following obvious fact: for statefull inspection the firewall is required to keep state for any entity it tracks, such as open connections. A possible attack is then to open as many connection as you can in a short time to force that connection table to fill up. This is not (any more) an academic discussions - SYN attacks, which are basically based on the same principle (but happening at the bastion server, not the firewall) is what caused in the last year major players like Yahoo and eBay to fall down. Using a "stateful inspection" firewall introduces yet another point of failure to your setup. Of course, since a firewall, by definition, is a "bump on the network", it's a point that's even better to exploit then a specific bastion server, because it takes down the entire network. Now of course firewalls are designed with such things in mind (at least FW-1 does). So for example, they used short timers to throw out stale connections, but because of the way TCP/IP is built, there is a limit to how good you can make this behave without starting to throw out real slow connections, especially taking into account TCP's known "slow start" feature. So what's the conclusion? don't use stateful inspection? no. Just that a firewall, like any other security feature is not a magic word.

Re: firewall
On Thu, Oct 19, 2000, Gilad Ben-Yossef wrote about "Re: firewall": One thing not commonly mentioned in regard to "stateful inspection" is the risk it *introduces* to your setting. Consider the following obvious fact: for statefull inspection the firewall is required to keep state for any entity it tracks, such as open connections. A possible attack is then to open as many connection as you can in a short time to force that connection table to fill up. This is not (any more) an academic discussions - SYN attacks, which are basically based on the same principle (but happening at the bastion server, not the firewall) is what caused in the last year major players like Yahoo and eBay to fall down. Using a "stateful inspection" firewall introduces yet another point of failure to your setup. .. This is a good point, but I think it's not much of a problem usually, because of two reasons: 1) In a home network, or even office network: In this case, the main concern is to prevent cracking into your system, and prevent remote-control trojans inside your system from working even if the got inside (e.g., someone clicked on that "VBS" attachment). Most people would not really care to protect their system against DoS attacks. 2) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see much point in doing stateful inspection on a *LISTENING* port. I mean, if you have an http server listening on port 80, then what would you gain by trying to follow the incoming sessions in the firewall? Are you interested in catching non-SYN segments of a non-existant connection and not return an RST? Why? Or are you trying to prevent weird "replies" to hosts that never asked a question? Why? (if this is to prevent trojans from connecting out, they have other ways to communicate out, usually... you can also prevent outgoing SYNs) So the firewall should not be doing stateful inspection or session checking or whatever you all it on packets coming to port 80, so I don't see how it can be overloaded. I see the importance of stateful inspection in the other direction: i.e., a user from inside the firewall makes a connection, and we want to allow packets to return to him, but only from the one machine he's connected to - we don't want to open up everything from every machine just to allow this connection. I don't see how a DoS attack can be done remotely in such a case. -- Nadav Har'El|Thursday, Oct 19 2000, 20 Tishri 5761 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |I'm a peripheral visionary: I see into http://nadav.harel.org.il |the future, but mostly off to the sides. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So if you want to support FTP (not an all together ridiculous demand after all) you have to check incoming SYN packets for "correctness". And how do you do that? right... you check against a state table (or hash, doesn't matter). And everywhere there is a state table you can flood it. The fact is the same thing happens everywhere you try to save state: in the fragment queue, for example. The principle here is that "state" requires a place to save data. You can flood that place. Hence "stateful inspection" carries, by it's name, a weak spot. Are there bigger weak spots out there? of course. I was just saying that to use the buzzword of the day (here: "stateful inspection") does not make anything more secure. It's always a trade off and a firewall that does not do stateful inspection is not necessarily less better then one who does. It depends in what you want to do.

I don't see how a DoS attack can be done remotely in such a case.

Samba - veto files directive
Hi, I have used the "veto files" flags for my users home directory shares. The syntax is as follows, veto files = /.*/ This is to hide all the dot files in the samba client. I stoped and restarted samba and sure enough the dot files do not get listed. One problem that has showed up is, when I try to save a file from the samba client (windows system) to the samba server, I get the "Error Copying File" message box, "Cannot copy xyz:A file with the name you specified already exists. Specify a different filename" This happens to any file that I am trying to move to the samba server. I have already tried "hide dot files" directive and that does not hide the files.
