Our Na?ve Example Revisited

Our Na?ve Example Revisited

Let's again suppose that we have a network in our organization and that we are using a Linux-based firewall machine to allow our users access to WWW servers on the Internet, but to allow no other traffic to be passed.

If our network has a 24-bit network mask (class C) and has an address of 172.16.1.0, we'd use the following ipchains rules:

# ipchains -F forward
# ipchains -P forward DENY
# ipchains -A forward -s 0/0 80 -d 172.16.1.0/24 -p tcp -y -j DENY
# ipchains -A forward -s 172.16.1.0/24 -d 0/0 80 -p tcp -b -j ACCEPT

The first of the commands flushes all of the rules from the forward rulesets and the second set of commands sets the default policy of the forward ruleset to DENY. Finally, the third and fourth commands do the specific filtering we want. The fourth command allows datagrams to and from web servers on the outside of our network to pass, and the third prevents incoming TCP connections with a source port of 80.

If we now wanted to add rules that allowed passive mode only access to FTP servers in the outside network, we'd add these rules:

# ipchains -A forward -s 0/0 20 -d 172.16.1.0/24 -p tcp -y -j DENY
# ipchains -A forward -s 172.16.1.0/24 -d 0/0 20 -p tcp -b -j ACCEPT
# ipchains -A forward -s 0/0 21 -d 172.16.1.0/24 -p tcp -y -j DENY
# ipchains -A forward -s 172.16.1.0/24 -d 0/0 21 -p tcp -b -j ACCEPT
