revision 1.220
date: 2004/12/23 18:43:03;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +8 -6
The knock was not allowing established connections, and knockd was
inserting a rule with a -s which matched requests but did not match the
replies.

Now, the default is to allow established connections for knock and only
control NEW connections via knockd.

revision 1.219
date: 2004/12/22 23:05:57;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +38 -8
Small internal changes.

Added support for integration with knockd (http://www.zeroflux.org/knock/)
This integration comes as part of the ACCEPT action:

accept [with knock <name>]
The optional parameter 'with knock' allows easy integration with knockd,
a server that allows you to control access to services, by sending certain
packets to "knock" the door, before the door is open for service.

This parameter accepts just a name. This name is used to build a special
chain knock_<name> which will contain no rules, so that the traffic entering
this chain will just return back and continue to match against the other
rules until the end of the firewall.

As an example, lets say that you want to allow https traffic based on a knock.
In FireHOL you write:

   server https accept with knock hidden

and you configure knockd so that it runs:

   iptables -A knock_hidden -s %IP% -j ACCEPT

to enable the https service (notice that there is no need to match anything
else than the IP. FireHOL already matches everything needed for its rules
to work), and:

   iptables -D knock_hidden -s %IP% -j ACCEPT

to disable this service for the given IP.

----------------------------
revision 1.212
date: 2004/10/31 02:21:02;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +497 -256
Added helpers:

tos	- to set the TOS of packets

Added optional rule parameters:

tos	- to match the TOS of packets
mark	- to match the MARK ID of packets
dscp	- to match the DSCP field of packets (both raw and class)


Added the following actions to the rule() function:

dscp

The rule() function already had support for TOS and MARK.
----------------------------
revision 1.211
date: 2004/10/30 23:03:57;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +35 -8
Created the complex service DHCP and removed the simple one.
The complex DHCP is now stateless to overcome all the problems that
arise due to the initial DHCP broadcast.
----------------------------
revision 1.210
date: 2004/10/30 22:41:21;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +16 -12
Service SAMBA now includes MICROSOFT_DS (tcp/445). Also, updated samba
related documentation.
----------------------------
revision 1.209
date: 2004/10/30 21:27:00;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +18 -8
Some error detection for /etc/firehol/services directory creation.
----------------------------
revision 1.208
date: 2004/10/30 21:13:26;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +109 -5
Added service NIS.

Created by Carlos Rodrigues <crlf@users.sourceforge.net>
Feature Requests item #1050951 <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=487695&aid=1050951&group_id=58425>

These rules work for client access only!

Pushing changes to slave servers won't work if these rules are active
somewhere between the master and its slaves, because it is impossible to
predict the ports where "yppush" will be listening on each push.

Pulling changes directly on the slaves will work, and could be improved
performance-wise if these rules are modified to open "fypxfrd". This wasn't
done because it doesn't make that much sense since pushing changes on the
master server is the most common, and recommended, way to replicate maps.
----------------------------
revision 1.207
date: 2004/10/28 23:03:06;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +67 -13
Added support for externally defined services in files under directory:

/etc/firehol/services

This directory may contain files ending with .conf. Example: imap.conf
Each file should *start* with a line like this:

#FHVER: 1

This must be the FIRST line of the file.
The number 1 is the FIREHOL_SERVICES_API version number. If the API within
FireHOL changes, FireHOL will refuse to load all those services files that
their API version number does not match.
----------------------------
revision 1.206
date: 2004/10/28 22:02:43;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +9 -5
Added service nut.
----------------------------
revision 1.205
date: 2004/10/08 22:30:52;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +90 -46
Added helper 'tcpmss'.
Added service 'nntps'.
Converted all simple services' port definitions to numeric.
Updated documentation accordingly.
----------------------------
revision 1.204
date: 2004/09/26 00:52:55;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +55 -6
Added services:

asterisk, darkstat, distcc, eserver, gift, giftui, h323, iax, iax2, icp,
rtp, sip, stun, upnp.
----------------------------
revision 1.203
date: 2004/09/14 21:15:44;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +119 -7
Added support for options to the ACCEPT action in order to allow
a certain frequency of NEW connections per service.

Now the template for the ACCEPT action is this:

ACCEPT [with limit frequency burst [overflow action]]

for example:

server smtp accept with limit 10/s 100 overflow drop

which means there is now control for the frequency at which NEW incoming
connections are accepted and control is also provided for the overflow
NEW ones.

The default overflow action is REJECT which rejects TCP connections with
TCP-RESET and all others with ICMP-PORT-UNREACHABLE.

To add other optional rule parameters to the server/client/route command
just add them after the ACCEPT expression. For example:

server smtp accept with limit 10/s 1000 src 1.2.3.4

If there are overflow NEW connections, the firewall will log "OVERFLOW"
with the packets and the frequency of loglimit (controled via global
variables).

The overflow action cannot accept parameters.
----------------------------
revision 1.202
date: 2004/09/12 07:24:58;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +8 -5

----------------------------
revision 1.197
date: 2004/07/31 22:31:08;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +31 -33
Due to a bug in BASH 3.0, the unset bash function corrupts array variables.
Changed FireHOL to set all variables to empty instead of unseting them.
----------------------------
revision 1.196
date: 2004/07/29 22:31:14;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +12 -6
Added documentation for DHCP and dropped packets.
Changed radius definition to use port numbers instead of port names
(gentoo has different names).
Added RADIUSPROXY and RADIUSOLDPROXY services.
----------------------------
revision 1.195
date: 2004/07/07 22:09:31;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +14 -7
Added variable FIREHOL_TRUST_LOOPBACK=1 which if set to 0, FireHOL will not
trust the lo interface allowing the admin to setup a firewall on it.
----------------------------
revision 1.194
date: 2004/05/15 10:19:01;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +9 -5
Added an iptables -nxvL command at the top of firehol.sh to initialize
iptables. Without it a few users have reported problems using firehol
during boot.
----------------------------
revision 1.193
date: 2004/05/05 23:41:19;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +88 -11
Added helper 'ecn_shame' that once called, it looks if ECN is enabled in
the kernel, and if it is, it fetches:

http://urchin.earth.li/cgi-bin/ecn.pl?output=ip

and disables ECN for all communication with these hosts.
----------------------------
revision 1.192
date: 2004/05/04 21:39:33;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +76 -5
Added grouping functionality. This is not yet finished. It has been added
to allow other developers test the functionality before optimizing all the
rules to use groups.
To use grouping, within an interface or router write:

group with [optional rule parameters]
   server x accept
   server y accept
group end

This will generate a much more optimized version of:

server "x y" accept [optional rule parameters]

by applying all the optional rule parameters once (instead of once per
service).
----------------------------
revision 1.191
date: 2004/04/23 22:15:18;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +26 -15
Made the nat helpers print their real statements instead of always
appearing as 'nat'.
----------------------------
revision 1.190
date: 2004/04/23 07:36:12;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +7 -7
Changed two:

tr [a-z] [A-Z]

to:

tr a-z A-Z

because a few versions of tr complain with the first format.
----------------------------
revision 1.189
date: 2004/04/23 07:32:01;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +6 -6
Fixed a printf that was giving errors because an argument was not numeric.
----------------------------
revision 1.188
date: 2004/04/21 22:57:11;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +5 -7
Removed the "press return to continue" from the 'debug' mode.
----------------------------
revision 1.187
date: 2004/04/21 22:39:40;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +12 -7
FireHOL now checks that /var/lock/subsys (the dir RH uses for startup
services lock files) exists before using it.
----------------------------
revision 1.186
date: 2004/04/21 22:23:10;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +8 -5

----------------------------
revision 1.185
date: 2004/04/21 21:48:32;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +10 -5
Kernel configuration is now searched in this order:

1. /proc/config
2. /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/.config
3. /boot/config-`uname -r`
4. /usr/src/linux/.config

Check No 3 was added now.
----------------------------
revision 1.184
date: 2004/04/21 21:35:29;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +108 -49
IMPORTANT: My second kid was born a week ago!

Added a lot of information to the generated iptables command line to
debug both the commands generated and what FireHOL did.

Fixed a bug in kernel module management: check_kernel_module() was supposed
to be a runtime function, but accidentaly I had it generating commands
to be run later - which of course were not run.
----------------------------
revision 1.183
date: 2004/04/01 23:30:28;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +19 -9
Added finer control to control INVALID packets.
The default is now not to drop invalid packets globaly, but to drop them
as part of the protection statement (i.e. protection invalid). The default
full/strong/all protections include the invalid match.

To enable invalid packets dropping globaly (the previous behaviour) one
can give:

FIREHOL_DROP_INVALID=1

at the top of the configuration file.
----------------------------
revision 1.182
date: 2004/03/04 22:05:53;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +5 -6
Removed a tcp-flags match from protection because it was a subset of
another one already defined.
----------------------------
revision 1.181
date: 2004/03/03 23:18:43;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +40 -36

----------------------------
revision 1.178
date: 2004/03/03 20:32:35;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +11 -6
Completed the mac optional rule parameter. This was implemented since
v1.134 but it was producing rules for both input and output packets.

Now, it produces mac rules only for packets comming in the firewall
(interfaces and routers).
----------------------------
revision 1.177

Added FIREHOL_LOG_MODE which can either be LOG or ULOG to select the
logging mode for iptables. All FireHOL optional rule parameters use this.

Updated documentation to reflect the change.
----------------------------
revision 1.171
date: 2003/11/23 19:27:58;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +6 -6

----------------------------
revision 1.168
date: 2003/11/04 21:43:02;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +21 -6
NETBIOS initiates based on the broadcast address of an interface
(request goes to broadcast address) but the server responds from
its own IP address. This makes the server samba accept statement
drop the server reply.
Bellow is a hack, that allows a linux samba server to respond
correctly, as it allows new outgoing connections from the well
known netbios-ns port to the clients high ports.
For clients and routers this hack is not applied because it
would be a huge security hole.
----------------------------
revision 1.167
date: 2003/11/03 20:43:09;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +6 -6

----------------------------
revision 1.164

Fixed service CUPS according to the following:

> The firehol system defines the 'cups' protocol as:
>
> server_cups_ports="tcp/631"
> client_cups_ports="default"
>
> This isn't a complete definition - CUPS also has an internal printer
> browsing protocol that operates over UDP, on port 631.

When I first started FireHOL (about a year before) I started with the
header part of /etc/init.d/iptables (of redhat 7.2). This header
just checked the kernel version and made a check on whether ipchains
was running. If any of the above was faulty (kernel version less than
2.3 or ipchains loaded into the kernel) it was exiting silently.

Although I still keep this logic, now FireHOL will print a warning
instead of just exiting silently.
----------------------------
revision 1.154
date: 2003/09/13 01:03:46;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +26 -5
Added helper 'mark'

Abstract from the documentation:

mark <NUMBER> <WHERE> [optional rule parameters]

The mark helper marks the traffic with a specific mark NUMBER
that can be matched by traffic shapping tools for controlling the
traffic.

Parameters

    * NUMBER is a number to mark the packets with.

    * WHERE tells FireHOL where to search for the specific traffic
      to be marked.
      Currently, WHERE can be one of the build-in iptables chains
      attached to table mangle. (for example: INPUT, FORWARD, OUTPUT,
      PREROUTING, POSTROUTING - case does matter here).

    * optional rule parameters is a set of rules that allow further
      restriction of the traffic that gets matched by this rule.
      See Optional Rules Parameters for more information.

Example 1: mark 1 OUTPUT
   will mark with 1 all packets send by the local machine.

Example 2: mark 2 FORWARD
   will mark with 2 all packets passing through the local machine.

Example 3: mark 3 FORWARD proto tcp dport 25 dst 1.1.1.1 src 2.2.2.2
   will match with 3 all packets sent by 2.2.2.2, passing through the
   local machine and targeting port TCP/25 of host 1.1.1.1.

Made the blacklist helper produce only one set of chains for all its runs.
This will keep the produced rules clearer and the firewall smaller.
----------------------------
revision 1.149
date: 2003/08/23 21:42:35;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +54 -5
Added "blacklist" helper to create blacklists.

Abstract from the documentation:

blacklist [option] <IP>
The blacklist helper creates a blacklist for the IP addresses given.
It supports two modes of operation based on the option given (or the
absence of it).

The option can be:

    * one of the words them, him, her, it, this, these, input in which
      case it will generate a unidirectional statefull blacklist,
      meaning that you will be able to ask (initiate connections)
      anything from them, but they will not be able to ask (initiate
      connections) anything from you or the remote hosts you protect
      (routing).

    * one of the words all, full or ommitted (no option given), in
      which case FireHOL will create bidirectional stateless rules
      that will DROP all traffic comming in from these IPs and will
      REJECT all traffic going to them.

The blacklist helper affects both interfaces and routers.

Example 1: blacklist this 195.97.5.202
Example 2: blacklist full 195.97.5.202

address in which case all established connections between the host and this
IP will be allowed.

Re-wrote 'helpme' to detect multiple IPs and networks per interfaces,
and to produce multiple interfaces for each IP. This means that FireHOL
is somewhat smart to match IPs with networks and interfaces, to detect
networks behind gateways, default gateways on point-to-point interfaces,
and to produce router statements matching the interfaces detected above.

revision 1.97
date: 2003/02/25 21:35:06;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +151 -61
'helpme' now produces router statements for each network each interface
is attached to. This produces templates to be used in cases where one
interface is used for routing traffic between multiple networks.

Additionally, 'helpme' produces example SNAT statements to be used instead
of masquerade when the IPs of the interfaces are statically assigned.
----------------------------
revision 1.96
date: 2003/02/24 23:30:21;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +48 -58
The helpme wizard now detects interfaces using:

ip link show

detects interface IPs using:

ip addr show

and detects interface networks using:

ip route show

This makes the 'helpme' wizard support any kind of interfaces,
configurations and interfaces aliases.

space.
----------------------------
revision 1.90
date: 2003/02/11 22:20:07;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +25 -9
Added /sbin in front of two sysctl statements that were producing errors
in a few systems.

Added control option FIREHOL_LOG_LEVEL and the optional argument 'level'
to the 'log' parameter in order to accept custom log levels per rule.

Now, to have different log levels, one could write:

	server dhcp accept log "my-dhcp" src 1.1.1.1

to get the default controlled by FIREHOL_LOG_LEVEL, or

	server dhcp accept log "my-dhcp" level critical src 1.1.1.1

Note that the 'level' is NOT a FireHOL optional rule parameter. It is an
optional argument to the 'log' parameter. This for example is invalid:

	server dhcp accept level critical log "my-dhcp" src 1.1.1.1

The new definition of the 'log' optional rule parameter is:

                    log "some text" [level a_level]

Added TOS and MARK actions in FireHOL's core to support Type-Of-Service and
MARKing (for traffic shapping) in the future.

Also, added an error handler that detects use of SNAT, DNAT, REDIRECT
outside the 'nat' table and TOS, MARK outside the 'mangle' table.

revision 1.83
date: 2003/01/25 02:33:59;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +77 -36
FireHOL now supports runtime ERRORs and WARNINGs.

ERRORs are assumed to be situations where FireHOL cannot continue, and it
will exit just after restoring the previous firewall.

WARNINGs are situations where FireHOL cannot determine if the firewall
will or won't work, and it will just present the warning and continue.
----------------------------
revision 1.82
date: 2003/01/25 01:46:11;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +15 -9
Made FireHOL not stop processing if some required kernel module is not
present. This behaviour is required when the required module is compiled
in the kernel, instead of being a module.

However, FireHOL still calls /sbin/modprobe which will print some error
to the console (this will not make FireHOL stop functioning).

traffic send by the localhost and silently ignore them on incoming and
passing through traffic.

revision 1.69
date: 2003/01/08 22:42:46;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +9 -6
changed helpers to overwrite illegal optional parameters in order to avoid
building rules that match nothing.

transparent_squid now passes some rule parameters to the rules matching
the user ids. This makes it possible to use succesfully negative rules,
such as:

dst not "A B C"

to make the transparent cache exclude these.

The previous implementation of the "with" parameter was conflicting with
negative expressions. Fixed.

Now each action (ACCEPT, REJECT, etc) can have each own optional rule
parameters. Currently only REJECT (with) and REDIRECT (to-port) have
such parameters.

Implemented the REDIRECT action (usefull in NAT).

Introduced a new concept in FireHOL: helpers

Helpers are functions that do some job for you, like a shortcut.

Implemented the transparent_squid helper.

I have added a not-to-be-documented command line argument:

gimme-the-services-defs

An application can choose to run FireHOL with this argument to have all
the service definitions FireHOL knows in the environment variables.
----------------------------
revision 1.64
date: 2003/01/06 00:41:10;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +736 -671
Changed the method with which the current command line was saved for the
error handler. The new way saved a fork() and gave some speed improvements.

Re-arranged the code so that the global variables and the services
definitions will be at the top of the file firehol.sh

Developed a work-around for a bug in iptables-save where:

! --uid-owner A

was saved as

--uid-owner !A

which was giving errors during restoration.
Unfortunatelly this made firehol saving the running firewall without the
use of /etc/init.d/iptables save.
The "save" argument to firehol saves the firewall to:

/etc/sysconfig/iptables

----------------------------
revision 1.60
date: 2003/01/01 03:12:17;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +51 -38
FireHOL has been changed to be "smart" when REJECTing packets.
If the packet to be rejected is a TCP packet, it will send back a tcp-reset
message, while for any other protocol it will send icmp-port-unreachable.

This is now the default behavior, without specifing a 'with' parameter.

Also, the multicast service has been changed to additionally match
protocol No 2.
----------------------------
revision 1.59
date: 2002/12/31 09:10:15;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +20 -12

default firewall policies.
----------------------------
revision 1.58
date: 2002/12/31 08:55:42;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +19 -4
Added optional rule parameter "with" which is only valid just after the
action "REJECT" on all rules. "with" allows finer control over the method
of packet rejection.

revision 1.52
date: 2002/12/18 23:36:07;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +98 -42
Fixed a bug in command line parsing when there was a configuration file
specified in the command line together with a command.
Now, when a filename is specified only three commands are valid:
debug, try, start

Fixed error handling to detect errors in a few functions that were
ignored.

Updated documentation to reflect the above changes.

Updated interactive mode help and added directive 'in' as a shortcut to
interface eth0 internet
----------------------------
revision 1.51

revision 1.50
date: 2002/12/18 20:44:08;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +78 -71
Fixed a potential security hole where UDP traffic could come in
uncoditionally from source port 53 when there was a:

client dns accept

This means that DNS is back to statefull mode.

Also, removed from ICMP the RELATED state, since it will be matched
at the end of the end of the interface or firewall.
----------------------------
revision 1.49

Now the interactive mode automatically generates a configuration file
from all the successfull commands.
Made interactive mode accept variable definitions and loops.
----------------------------
revision 1.46
date: 2002/12/17 20:47:34;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +100 -24
Added command line argument "explain" to run in interactive debugging
mode.

This resulted in discovering bugs in NFS (fixed) and masquerade (fixed).

Also, enriched the error handler to be more descriptive about what
FireHOL is doing.
----------------------------
revision 1.45
date: 2002/12/16 20:41:39;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +56 -86
Added service DHCP Relay.

Made kernel modules loaded during run time.

Saving of old firewall takes now place before processing the configuration
file, in order to make sure it will not be altered by accident due to
some illegal commands in the configuration file.

FireHOL enables kernel routing automatically when there is at least a
router defined in the configuration.

Now the configuration accepts command line arguments given to FireHOL.
To send a set of arguments to the script, either just append them to
FireHOL command line or (in case it is not clear if the argument is going
to be used by FireHOL or the configuration) precede the configuration
arguments by -- (two dashes).

date: 2002/12/07 18:12:43;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +26 -13
Now protections can be applied on both directions of a router.

When running firehol with a configuration file as the first argument, now
you can specify an action (start, debug, try, etc) as the second argument.
----------------------------
revision 1.33
date: 2002/12/07 00:47:30;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +27 -174
Re-organized parameters parsing to prevent processing a possible file
in the current directory with filename the name of the FireHOL command.

Now FireHOL locks the subsys firehol, in addition to iptables.
----------------------------
revision 1.32

The problem with line numbers on debian systems found to be an awk
alternative those systems use. Now FireHOL uses gawk instead of awk.

Added service SUBMISSION (SMTP or SSL/TLS).
----------------------------
revision 1.30
date: 2002/12/04 23:12:10;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +35 -2
Fixed a problem where empty parameters to src, dst, etc where not giving
an error and where not producing any iptables statements.
This was happening because FireHOL relies on nested BASH loops, and bash
does not loop with empty iterations...
----------------------------
revision 1.29
date: 2002/12/04 22:41:13;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +155 -114
Re-wrote the negative expressions handling to archieve near hand-made
(i.e. optimum) quality of iptables firewall.
Now, instead of the linked-list that was created for negative expressions,
we match all positive expressions before the negatives and all the
negatives are together in one chain.
This also fixed possible performance problems due to the large number
of chains and rules that the packets had to traverse in order to get
matched (or not matched).

The fact that now positive rules are matched before negatives has also the
benefit that not all traffic has to be matched against the negatives. Now,
first we select what might be good for a rule, and then we check if this
breaks the negative expressions.

Last, this made the iptables firewall much more clear and human readable.
----------------------------
revision 1.28
date: 2002/12/04 21:32:26;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +17 -14
Fixed a bug that FireHOL was incorrectly choosing LOCAL_CLIENT_PORTS on
router configurations. This bug appeared when the router configurations
were made to accept normal server/client statements.
----------------------------
revision 1.27

Another work around to fix the problem of LINENO not working in debian
systems.

Added command line argument "services" which shows all the service
definitions firehol knows about.
----------------------------
revision 1.23
date: 2002/12/02 17:48:41;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +13 -8
Fixed a bug where some versions of BASH do not handle correctly cat >>"EOF".
They treat it as cat >>EOF and thus they do variable substitution on the
text.
Now, FireHOL uses cat >>EOF but the text has been escaped in order to avoid
variable substitution.

The problem has been reported by Florian Thiel <thiel@ksan.de>.
----------------------------
revision 1.22
date: 2002/12/02 00:01:24;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +14 -7
Fixed parameter 'custom' processing. It is not an array now, but it is
treated specially to support BASH special characters such as !
Quoting things in parameters 'custom' needs tweaking still.
----------------------------
revision 1.21
date: 2002/12/01 04:34:00;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +48 -61
More quoting issues fixed. Changed the core to work with BASH arrays in
order to handle quoted arguments accurately.

Fixed a bug in postprocessing error handler that did not present the
command line that produced the error.
----------------------------
revision 1.20
date: 2002/11/30 22:53:55;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +235 -186
Fixed various problems related to quoted arguments.
Fixed iptables generation to support quoted arguments.
Made chain names shorter.

Every single element in the firehol config now gets its own chain.
Previously, the same services (e.g. smtp servers) were implemented using
only one pair of chains.

Enhanced the error handler of logical and syntactical error. Now it says
were and why an error has occured.
----------------------------
revision 1.19
date: 2002/11/30 14:33:33;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +77 -57
As suggested by Florian Thiel <thiel@ksan.de>:
a. Fixed service IRC to work on TCP instead of UDP.
b. Added services: UUCP, VNC, WEBCACHE, IMAPS, IKE.

Also fixed the home-router.conf example (it was outdated).
----------------------------
revision 1.18
date: 2002/11/03 13:17:39;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +30 -10
Minor aesthetic changes.
----------------------------
revision 1.17
date: 2002/11/01 19:37:20;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +82 -1
Added service: any
Any allows the administrator to define any stateful rule to match services
that cannot have source and destination ports, such as unusual protocols,
etc.

Syntax: type any name action [optional rule parameters]

type: server/client/route
name: the name for the service (used for the chain)
action: accept, reject, etc.


Added service: multicast
Multicast allows the administrator to match packets with destination
224.0.0.0/8 in both directions (input/output).
----------------------------
revision 1.16
date: 2002/10/31 15:31:52;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +61 -13
Added command line parameter 'try' (in addition to 'start', 'stop', etc)
that when used it activates the firewall and waits 30 seconds for the
administrator to type 'commit' in order to keep the firewall active.
If the administrator does not write 'commit' or the timeout passes, FireHOL
restores the previous firewall.

Also, if you break (Ctrl-C) FireHOL while activating the new firewall,
FireHOL will restore the old firewall.
----------------------------
revision 1.15
date: 2002/10/30 23:25:07;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +80 -61
Rearranged default RELATED rules to match after normal processing and
protections.
Made the core of FireHOL operate on multiple tables (not assuming the
rules refer to the 'filter' table). This will allow FireHOL to support
all kinds of NAT chains in the future.
----------------------------
revision 1.14
date: 2002/10/29 22:20:41;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +79 -27
Client and server keywords now work on routers too.
(The old 'route' subcommand is an alias for the 'server' subcommand -
within a router).
Protection can be reversed on routers to match outface instead of inface.
Masquerade can be used in interfaces, routers (matches outface - but can
be reverse(ed) to match inface) or as a primary command with all the
interfaces to be masqueraded in an argument.
----------------------------
revision 1.13
date: 2002/10/28 19:47:02;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +31 -27
Protection has been extented to work on routers too.
Made a few minor aesthetic changes on the generated code. Now in/out chains
on routers match the inface/outface correctly.
----------------------------
revision 1.12
date: 2002/10/28 18:45:54;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +35 -14
Added support for ICMP floods protection and from BAD TCP flags protection.
This was suggested by: Fco.Felix Belmonte (ffelix@gescosoft.com).
----------------------------
revision 1.11
date: 2002/10/27 12:47:48;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +5 -0
Added CVS versioning to all files.
----------------------------
revision 1.10
date: 2002/10/27 02:49:34;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +66 -5
Added service IRC.
Extended kernel modules handling to simple services too.
Simple services can now have:

require_myservice_modules="module"
require_myservice_nat_modules="module"

in order to have these modules installed if and when "myservice" is
used.

Added the "masquerade" interfaces subcommand, that gives a shortcut to
masquerade on the output of an interface.

FireHOL, now have a separate rule to match all RELATED sockets on all
chains. This is always added at the top of the firewall.

FireHOL, now DROPs all INVALID packets, as suggested by the iptables
HOW-TO.

Various other minor enhancements.
----------------------------
revision 1.9
date: 2002/10/26 15:14:52;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +40 -26
Added logging options support as suggested by:
Fco.Felix Belmonte <ffelix@gescosoft.com>
----------------------------
revision 1.8
date: 2002/10/24 21:10:01;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +86 -9
Removed service TFTP since this requires a kernel module for stateful
operation.

After suggestions by Fco.Felix Belmonte (ffelix@gescosoft.com),
I have added:

a) RESERVED_IPS, PRIVATE_IPS, MULTICAST_IPS and UNROUTABLE_IPS
You can use the above in SRC (not) parameters to match them.
The use of UNROUTABLE_IPS is suggested for cases where an interface is
exclusivelly public.

b) kernel module requirements per complex service and for the
configuration file as a whole.
Now you can use:

# one line for each module, somewhere in your config file
require_kernel_module <kernel_module>

to have FireHOL require some kernel module to succesfully complete
the firewall configuration.

As an option for those running NAT, you can use:

FIREHOL_NAT=1 # put this at the top of your config file

to make the complex services require also the NAT modules for the
services they implement.

Finally, I have added a get-iana.sh script that produces one BASH
statement for RESERVED_IPS.
----------------------------
revision 1.7
date: 2002/10/20 19:09:18;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +1 -1

----------------------------
revision 1.6
date: 2002/10/11 21:09:11;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +18 -0
Added services RNDC, FINGER, ECHO, DAYTIME, NNTP
----------------------------
revision 1.5
date: 2002/10/04 17:35:49;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +137 -7
Fixed negative expressions in FireHOL statements.
By default, when multiple instances of interfaces/ports/addresses exist
FireHOL produces one rule for each instance. However when negative
expressions were defined the previous approach was producing ORed iptables
statements instead of ANDed statements.
The new code, now produces linked lists of iptables chains for all negative
expressions so that only if ALL the negative are matched, one rule for each
positive expression will be produced.

Example: interface eth0 myname src "1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2"

This will correctly produce two indepedent rules, one for each IP address.
But:

interface eth0 myname src NOT "1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2"

was incorrectly producing two indepedent rules. Now the later statement
produces a linked list that first matches that the source of the packets
is not 1.1.1.1, in which case it forwards the packets to the second chain
in the lists that confirms that the packets are not comming from 2.2.2.2,
which finally sends the packets to their destination to be checked if they
are comming from eth0.

Note: I don't know the overhead of this linked list thing. I hope iptables
is fast enough...
----------------------------
revision 1.4
date: 2002/10/03 23:53:09;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +68 -58
Added control for unmatched packets using:
UNMATCHED_INPUT_POLICY=
UNMATCHED_OUTPUT_POLICY=
UNMATCHED_ROUTER_POLICY=
and removed DEFAULT_ROUTER_POLICY since iptables accepts only DROP and ACCEPT.

To control what will happen to unmatched packets just set the above variables
in /etc/firehol.conf

Note that in any case (e.g. UMATCHED_ROUTER_POLICY=ACCEPT) the packets will
still be logged to syslog.

Made also various aesthetic changes in the code.

Rules programmers can now include their service names in the
ALL_SHOULD_ALSO_RUN variable and the "all" service will run them
automatically.
----------------------------
revision 1.3
date: 2002/10/03 16:28:16;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +60 -7
Service ntp is now both TCP and UDP and accepts clients from default ports.
DNS over TCP is stateful but over UDP is now not stateful. This will not bother your syslog if your DNS server fails to reply within the stateful UDP timeout of iptables.
Added service rsync.
Added service vmwareauth.
Added service vmwareweb.
Added DEFAULT_ROUTER_POLICY to control how firehol handles its routing.
Fixed a bug where firehol script arguments were not passed to /etc/init.d/iptables.
Increased version number to 5.
----------------------------
revision 1.2
date: 2002/09/08 12:05:10;  author: ktsaou;  state: Exp;  lines: +28 -18

Made it work on non RedHat systems.
client/server/route now accept many services on the same line.
Other minor fixes and enhancements.
Verified NFS operation.
