Configuring IP Filter for firewall usage.
=========================================
Step 1 - Block out "bad" IP packets.
------------------------------------
Run the perl script "mkfilters". This will generate a list of blocking
rules which:
a) blocks all packets which might belong to an IP Spoofing attack;
b) blocks all packets with IP options;
c) blocks all packets which have a length which is too short for
any legal packet;
Step 2 - Convert Network Security Policy to filter rules.
---------------------------------------------------------
Draw up a list of which services you want to allow users to use on the
Internet (e.g. WWW, ftp, etc). Draw up a separate list for what you
want each host that is part of your firewall to be allowed to do, including
communication with internal hosts.
Step 3 - Create TCP "keep state" rules.
---------------------------------------
For each service that uses TCP, create a rule as follows:
pass in on <int-a> proto tcp from <int-net> to any port <ext-service> flags S/SA keep state
where
* "int-a" is the internal interface of the firewall. That is, it is the
closest to your internal network in terms of network hops.
* "int-net" is the internal network IP# subnet address range. This might
be something like 10.1.0.0/16, or 128.33.1.0/24
* "ext-service" is the service to which you which to connect or if it doesn't
have a proper name, a number can be used. The translation of "ext-service"
as a name to a number is controlled with the /etc/services file.
