* conntrackd: add cthelper infrastructure (+ example FTP helper)Pablo Neira Ayuso2012-08-011-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the user-space helper infrastructure. It also contains the implementation of the FTP helper in user-space. There's one example file that you can use to configure conntrackd as user-space connection tracking helper under: doc/helper/conntrackd.conf Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: generalize file descriptor infrastructurePablo Neira Ayuso2012-08-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch generalizes the select-based file descriptor infrastructure by allowing you to register file descriptors and its callbacks. Instead of hardcoding the descriptors that needs to be checked. Now, struct fds_item contains a callback and pointer to data that is passed to it: struct fds_item { struct list_head head; int fd; + void (*cb)(void *data); + void *data; }; Then, we check which ones are active in the select_main_step() function: list_for_each_entry(cur, &STATE(fds)->list, head) { if (FD_ISSET(cur->fd, &readfds)) cur->cb(cur->data); } And it invoked the corresponding callback. I had to slightly modify the channel infrastructure to fit it into the changes. This modularity is required for the upcoming cthelper support. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

* conntrackd: support for expectation synchronizationPablo Neira Ayuso2012-01-101-13/+56

This addition aims to re-use as much as possible of the existing infrastructure for stability reasons. The expectation support has been tested with the FTP helper. This extension requires libnetfilter_conntrack 1.0.0. If this is the first time you're playing with conntrackd, I *strongly* recommend you to get working setup of conntrackd without expectation support before as described in the documentation. Then, enabling expectation support is rather easy. To know more about expectations, if you're not familiar with them, I suggest you to read: "Netfilter's Connection Tracking System" http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/docs/login.pdf Reprinted from ;login: The Magazine of USENIX, vol. 31, no. 3 (Berkeley, CA: USENIX Association, 2006, pp40-45.) In short, expectations allow one Linux firewall to filter multi-flow traffic like FTP, SIP and H.323. In my testbed, there are two firewalls in a primary-backup configuration running keepalived. The use a couple of floating cluster IP address (192.168.0.100 and 192.168.1.100) that are used by the client. These firewalls protect one FTP server (192.168.1.2) that will be accessed by one client. In ASCII art, it looks like this: 192.168.0.100 192.168.1.100 eth1 eth2 fw-1 / \ FTP -- client ------ ------ server -- 192.168.0.2 \ / 192.168.1.2 fw-2 This is the rule-set for the firewalls: -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.0.2/32 -d 192.168.1.2/32 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.1.100 -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state INVALID -j DROP -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth2 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 21 --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth1 -p tcp -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -m state --state INVALID -j LOG --log-prefix "invalid: " The following steps detail how to check that the expectation support works fine for conntrackd: 1) You have to enable the expectation support in the configuration file with the following option: Sync { ... Options { ExpectationSync { ftp sip h323 } } } This enables expectation synchronization for the FTP, SIP and H.323 helpers. You can alternatively use: Sync { ... Options { ExpectationSync On } } To enable expectation synchronization for all helpers. 2) Make sure you have loaded the FTP helper in both firewalls. root@fw1# modprobe nf_conntrack_ftp root@fw2# modprobe nf_conntrack_ftp 3) Switch to the client. Start one FTP control connection to one server that is protected by the firewalls, enter passive mode: (term-1) user@client$ nc 192.168.1.2 21 220 dummy FTP server USER anonymous 331 Please specify the password. PASS nothing 230 Login successful. PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,2,163,11). This means that port 163*256+11=41739 will be used for the data traffic. Read this if you are not familiar with the FTP protocol: http://www.freefire.org/articles/ftpexample.php 3) Switch to fw-1 (primary) to check that the expectation is in the internal cache. root@fw1# conntrackd -i exp proto=6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=0 dport=41739 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.0.2 master-dst=192.168.1.2 sport=36390 dport=21 [active since 5s] 4) Switch to fw-2 (backup) to check that the expectation has been successfully replicated. root@fw2# conntrackd -e exp proto=6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=0 dport=41739 mask-src=255.255.255.255 mask-dst=255.255.255.255 sport=0 dport=65535 master-src=192.168.0.2 master-dst=192.168.1.2 sport=36390 dport=21 [active since 8s] 5) Make the primary firewall fw-1 fail. Now fw-2 becomes primary. 6) Switch to fw-2 (primary) to commit the external cache into the kernel. root@fw2# conntrackd -c exp The logs should display that the commit was successful: root@fw2# tail -100f /var/log/conntrackd.log [Wed Dec 7 22:16:31 2011] (pid=19195) [notice] committing external cache: expectations [Wed Dec 7 22:16:31 2011] (pid=19195) [notice] Committed 1 new entries [Wed Dec 7 22:16:31 2011] (pid=19195) [notice] commit has taken 0.000366 seconds 7) Switch to the client. Open a new terminal and connect to the port that has been announced by the server: (term-2) user@client$ nc -vvv 192.168.1.2 41739 (UNKNOWN) [192.168.1.2] 41739 (?) open 8) Switch to term-1 and ask for the file listing: [...] 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,2,163,11). LIST 9) Switch to term-2, it should display the listing. That means everything has worked fine. You may want to try disabling the expectation support and repeating the steps to check that *it does not work* without the state-synchronization. You can also display expectation statistics by means of: root@fwX# conntrackd -s exp This update requires no changes in the primary-backup.sh script that is used by the HA manager to interact with conntrackd. Thus, we provide a backward compatible command line interface. Regarding the Filter clause and expectations, we use the master conntrack to filter expectation events. The filtering is performed in user-space. No kernel-space filtering support for expectations yet (this support should go in libnetfilter_conntrack at some point). This patch also includes support to disable caching and to allow direct injection of expectations. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

* conntrackd: add support to display statistics on existing child processesPablo Neira Ayuso2009-06-111-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to dump the list of existing child processes. In general, it would be hard to display one since child processes are generally forked for very specific tasks, like commit and flush operations, and they have very limited lifetime. However, this can be handy for debugging problems. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

* filter: choose the filtering method via configuration filePablo Neira Ayuso2008-11-181-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the current behaviour of the filtering selection. Up to now, conntrackd has used the kernel version to select the filtering method based on the following logic: If kernel is >= 2.6.26 we use BSF-based filtering from kernel-space, otherwise, default to userspace. However, this filtering method still lacks of IPv6 support and it requires a patch that got into 2.6.29 to filter IPv6 addresses from kernel-space. To fix this issue, we default to user-space filtering and let the user choose the method via the configuration file. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* ftfw: add option `-v' to output debugging information (if any)Pablo Neira Ayuso2008-10-261-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces the option `-v' to show useful debugging information, if any. As for now, only sync-ftfw.c make use of it to display the content and the length of the resent list/queue. This is useful to check for message leaks. Other working modes or synchronization approaches may use it to display debugging information in the future. This patch removes _SIGNAL_DEBUG in sync-ftfw.c that was used for for the same purpose. However, it could only be enabled at compilation time and it uses signalling instead of the standard UNIX socket interface that conntrackd provides.

* conntrackd: add -t option to shorten conntrack timeoutsPablo Neira Ayuso2008-08-021-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the new option `-t' for conntrackd. This option shortens the value of the timeout for the cached entries that lives in the kernel. This option is particularly useful to remove the zombie established entries that remain in kernel if the user tests the platform by forcing the takeover from one to another node several times. We currently use the value of CommitTimeout which is sane for it. Adding a new option does not seem to add more flexibility IMO. Once we get the patches to notify user changes via ctnetlink and the netlink flag NLM_F_ECHO works, we may directly invoke a massive purge of the entries, however, such solution would still need evaluation.
