* conntrackd: Don't hardcode libs dir pathHani Benhabiles2013-10-151-2/+1
| | | | | | | Use CONNTRACKD_LIB_DIR instead of hardcoded path. Signed-off-by: Hani Benhabiles <kroosec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* build: add --disable-cthelper and --disable-cttimeoutPablo Neira Ayuso2013-09-261-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | This patch allows you to disable userspace helper support and conntrack timeout tuning at build stage. By default, both features are enabled, to avoid breaking backward compatibility. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: deprecate `Family' in configuration filePablo Neira Ayuso2013-07-061-8/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch deprecates the `Family' tweak in the configuration file. Several reasons for this: * If not specified, this was default to IPv4 only in table dumps from the kernel. However, non-IPv4 events were still received. This is inconsistent. * It's an early tweak that was not documented (not included in any of the example files). If we want to support any sort of consistent filtering based on the family, this should happen in the filtering code. After this patch, conntrackd uses AF_UNSPEC to dump the conntrack and expectation tables from the kernel.

* conntrackd: cthelper: add QueueLen optionPablo Neira Ayuso2012-09-101-2/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the QueueLen option, that allows you to increase the maximum number of packets waiting in the nfnetlink_queue to receive a verdict from userspace. Rising the default value (1024) is useful to avoid hitting the following error message: "nf_queue: full at X entries, dropping packets(s)". Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: add cthelper infrastructure (+ example FTP helper)Pablo Neira Ayuso2012-08-011-0/+200
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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: support for expectation synchronizationPablo Neira Ayuso2012-01-101-1/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support to synchronize expectations between firewalls. 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: rise number of committed entries per stepPablo Neira Ayuso2011-02-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch rises the number of committed entries per step from 64 to 8192. Experimental results in active-active setups here show that we reduce the commit time with this value significantly. This deserves some more study, it can be a good idea to remove this commit per step completely. I leave this for the future. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: add support for TCP window scale factor synchronizationPablo Neira Ayuso2010-02-111-0/+18
| | | | | | | This patch adds a new option TCPWindowTracking that allows not to disable TCP window tracking as it occurs by default. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: fix UDP filtering in configuration filePablo Neira Ayuso2010-02-111-0/+19
| | | | | | | | UDP filtering was broken during the addition of the UDP-based synchronization protocol that was introduced in 0.9.14. This patch fixes the problem. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: fix flow-state filtering for TCPPablo Neira Ayuso2009-12-231-1/+4
| | | | | | | | This patch fixes the clause `State' in `Filter' that allows you to filter by protocol state. This bug was introduced during the implementation of the TCP-based synchronization. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: add `DisableInternalCache' clausePablo Neira Ayuso2009-10-211-1/+12
| | | | | | | | This patch adds the clause `DisableInternalCache' that allows you to bypass the internal cache. This clause can only be used with the notrack synchronization mode. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: add retention queue for TCP errorsPablo Neira Ayuso2009-09-231-3/+15
| | | | | | | | Under stress, the TCP stack may return EAGAIN if there is not space left in the sender buffer. We also enqueue any other error. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: add support state-replication based on TCPPablo Neira Ayuso2009-08-231-1/+157
| | | | | | | | This patch adds support for TCP as protocol to replicate state-changes between two daemons. Note that this only makes sense with the notrack mode. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: add `DisableExternalCache' clausePablo Neira Ayuso2009-08-191-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the clause `DisableExternalCache' that allows you to disable the external cache and to directly inject the entries into the kernel conntrack table. As a result, the CPU consumption of conntrackd increases. This clause can only be used with the FT-FW and the notrack synchronization modes, but not with the alarm mode.

* conntrackd: add support for IPv6 kernel-space filtering via BSFPablo Neira Ayuso2009-07-211-1/+16
| | | | | | | This patch adds the missing support to filter IPv6 from kernel-space by means of the BSF API that libnetfilter_conntrack provides. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: add clause to enable ctnetlink reliable event deliveryPablo Neira Ayuso2009-07-211-1/+12
| | | | | | | | This patch adds the NetlinkEventsReliable clause, this is useful to turn on reliable Netlink event delivery. This features requires a Linux kernel >= 2.6.31. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: rework commit not to fork a child processPablo Neira Ayuso2009-07-191-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reworks the commit phase to avoid the forking. This is particularly useful in active-active setups in which one node has to commit the external cache while it is receiving new entries to be added in the external cache. This results in really high commit times due to the penalty of the copy-on-write that fork performs. The default number of steps in one run loop is limited to 64 by now. No option to tune this parameter is still available via the configuration file. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: remove the cache write-through policyPablo Neira Ayuso2009-05-231-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the cache write-through clause. This feature remained undocumented although some has found it looking at the source code. This feature has remained in the tree for quite some time although it has several limitations. Moreover, it is specifically broken and dangerous for Linux kernels >= 2.6.29 since it generates loops in the synchronization. We do this removal first to prepare the introduction of a feature to bypass the external cache. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* conntrackd: change scheduler and priority via configuration filePablo Neira Ayuso2009-04-141-0/+30
| | | | | | | | With this patch, you can change the scheduler policy and priority for conntrackd. Using a RT scheduler policy reduces the chances to hit ENOBUFS in Netlink. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* config: cleanup error reporting during config file parsingPablo Neira Ayuso2009-03-311-111/+143

* config: obsolete `ListenTo' clausePablo Neira Ayuso2009-03-201-24/+2
| | | | | | | This patch obsoletes the `ListenTo' clause which is a reminiscent of the intial event filtering code. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* mcast: remove several unused structure fieldsPablo Neira Ayuso2009-03-201-3/+1

* udp: fix missing scope_id in the socket creationPablo Neira Ayuso2009-03-201-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | This patch fixes an EINVAL error returned by bind() when opening an UDP server socket to propagate state-changes over the dedicated link. This patch also includes the change of the example configuration files in case that you want to use UDP over IPv6. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* sync-mode: add unicast UDP support to propagate state-changesPablo Neira Ayuso2009-03-131-15/+155
| | | | | | | | This patch adds support for unicast UDP to the channel infrastructure. With this patch, you can select UDP unicast to propagate state-changes instead of multicast. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* sync-mode: add abstract layer to make daemon independent of multicastPablo Neira Ayuso2009-03-121-31/+38
| | | | | | | | | This patch reworks conntrackd to make it independent of the protocol used to propagate state-changes. This patch adds the channel layer abstraction, this layer allows you to add support for different protocols like unicast UDP or TIPC. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

* netlink: add new option NetlinkOverrunResyncPablo Neira Ayuso2009-02-081-1/+22
| | | | | | | | This patch adds NetlinkOverrunResync. This option can be used to set the amount of time after which the daemon resynchronizes itself with the kernel state-table if it detects a Netlink overrun. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: increase default PurgeTimeout valuePablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-251-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | This patch increases the default PurgeTimeout value to 60 seconds. The former 15 seconds provides good real-time reaction in terms of user-side expected behaviour, but it is too small if you trigger random failure in a firewall cluster. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: add support for approximate timeout calculation during commitPablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-251-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | During the commit phase, the entries in the external cache entries are inserted in the kernel conntrack table. Currently, we use a fixed timeout that is specified in the config file. With this patch, if you don't specify the fixed timeout value via CommitTimeout, the daemon calculates the real timeout value during the commit phase. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: obsolete `DestroyTimeout' clausePablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-211-5/+2
| | | | | | This patch obsoletes `DestroyTimeout' which has no clients anymore. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* ftfw: add ResendQueueSize and deprecate ResendBufferSize clausesPablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-171-3/+10
| | | | | | | | This patch adds ResendQueueSize, which sets the number of objects that can be stored in the resend queue waiting to be confirmed. The ResendBufferSize clause has been deprecated. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: add state polling support (oppossed to current event-driven)Pablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-171-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the clause PollSecs that changes the normal behaviour of conntrackd. With PollSecs set to > 0, conntrackd polls every N seconds the entries. This is the opposed behaviour of an event-driven behaviour but may be useful for those that have really strong limitations in terms of CPU consumption and want to perform a relaxed replication. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: support for redundant dedicated linksPablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-171-31/+74
| | | | | | | | This patch adds support for redundant dedicated links. You can add a pool of dedicated links that can be used if the current active fails. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* run: limit the number of iterations over the event handlingPablo Neira Ayuso2009-01-151-1/+10
| | | | | | | | Currently, the event handling can starve other event file descriptors. This patch limits the number of event handling iterations. The parameter is tunable via configuration file. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* config: move `Checksum' inside `Multicast' clausePablo Neira Ayuso2008-11-301-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | This patch moves `Checksum' into the `Multicast' clause. This property is dependent of the multicast configuration. This patch is required to introduce the redundant dedicated link support that is on the way. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* filter: CIDR-based filtering supportPablo Neira Ayuso2008-11-251-16/+70
| | | | | | | | | | This patch adds CIDR-based filtering support. The current implementation is O(n). This patch also introduces the vector data type which is used to store the IP address and the network mask. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* filter: choose the filtering method via configuration filePablo Neira Ayuso2008-11-181-1/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: rise the size of the acknowledgment window in the examplePablo Neira Ayuso2008-10-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | This patch increases the size of the acknowledgment window based on some experiments in my testbed with oprofile. The previous default value was too small. This resulted in too many cycles to empty the resend queue. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* config: fix usage of 'PurgeTimeout' in Sync NOTRACKPablo Neira Ayuso2008-10-201-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a problem that is reported by conntrackd while trying to parse the example configuration file. We fix this instead of the example file to make it consistent with other replication approaches. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* cache iterators: rework cache_reset_timersPablo Neira Ayuso2008-08-071-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the clause PurgeTimeout that sets the new timer when conntrackd -t is called. This command is particularly useful when the sysadmin triggers hand-overs between several nodes without rebooting as it reduces the timers of the remaining entries in the kernel. Thus, avoiding clashes between new and old entries that may trigger INVALID packets. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* add support for kernel-space filtering via BSFPablo Neira Ayuso2008-07-231-0/+90

* Major rework of the user-space event filteringPablo Neira Ayuso2008-07-221-61/+194
| | | | | | | | | | This patch reworks the user-space filtering. Although we have kernel-space filtering since Linux kernel >= 2.6.26, we keep userspace filtering to ensure backward compatibility. Moreover, this patch prepares the implementation of the kernel-space filtering via libnetfilter_conntrack's high-level berkeley socket filter API.
