[server] Add MAX_FW_TIMEOUT to access.conf stanzas to allow a
maximum number of seconds for client-specified timeouts in SPA packets.
This fixes issue #226 which was spotted by Jeremiah Rothschild.
By default, fwknopd will now exit if the interface that it is
sniffing goes down (patch contributed by Github user 'sgh7'). If this
happens, it is expected that the native process monitoring feature in
things like systemd or upstart will restart fwknopd. However, if fwknopd
is not being monitored by systemd, upstart, or anything else, this
behavior can be disabled with the EXIT_AT_INTF_DOWN variable in the
fwknopd.conf file. If disabled, fwknopd will try to recover when a
downed interface comes back up.
The RULES_CHECK_THRESHOLD variable defines the number of times firewall rule
expiration times must be checked before a "deep" check is run. This allows
fwknopd to remove rules that contain a proper '_exp_<time>' even if a third party
program added them instead of fwknopd. The default value for this variable is 20,
and this typically results in this check being run every two seconds or so. To
disable this type of checking altogether, set this variable to zero.
This is a significant commit that allows fwknopd to delete expired rules
from the firewall policy regardless of whether fwknopd is tracking them.
That is, a third party program could insert rules into the fwknopd
chains (iptables for now, but this will be extended to the other
firewalls) in order to take advantage of fwknopd rule deletion.
Having extra '/run' subdirectory hardcoded into paths used for options
'digest-file', 'pid-file', 'run-dir' is counterintuitive and can lead to
bogus directory layouts when 'localstatedir' differs from the default
value.
For example, if 'localstatedir' is set to '/run', which is a common and
recommended substitute for /var/run in many distros nowadays, then
fwknop files will be placed under /run/run/fwknop.
This changeset removes extra '/run' subdirectory from all relevant paths
by changing DEF_RUN_DIR. Default value of 'localstatedir' is changed to
'/var/run' so users who relied on the previous behaviour won't have to
bother changing anything.
This is tested and works. Gentoo have this patch applied since 2.6.0.
This is a significant commit to allow all ports and protocols to be
NAT'd in conjunction with FORWARD ACCEPT rules. This commit is in
support of 6b7a3bbdae295c29a15a59385e637bd391858bc2 to allow fwknopd to
function as an SPA gateway.
This is a significant commit that allows iptables firewalls to be used
as an "SPA gateway" for all ports/protocols upon providing a valid SPA
packet. Additional commits will be made to extend this capability, but
this commit adds two new access.conf keywords: FORWARD_ALL and
DISABLE_DNAT. These are used in conjunction to add ACCEPT rules for all
ports/protocols in the FORWARD chain, and also disable DNAT rules at the
same time. Then, by buildling the SNAT chain to provide translation for
an internal network (where an SPA cliet is located), but DROP all
forwarded traffic by default at the same time, SPA can be used to gain
access to the internet. So, this would allow, say, an RFC 1918 internal
network to have IP's assigned via DHCP but they wouldn't be able to
access the internet before sending a SPA packet to the gateway. This
scenario was suggested by spartan1833 to the fwknop list and tracked via
github issue 131.
Additional commits will be made to fully support this feature.
Add a new GPG_FINGERPRINT_ID variable to the access.conf file
so that full GnuPG fingerprints can be required for incoming SPA packets
in addition to the appreviated GnuPG signatures listed in GPG_REMOTE_ID.
From the test suite, an example fingerprint is
GPG_FINGERPRINT_ID 00CC95F05BC146B6AC4038C9E36F443C6A3FAD56
This is a significant commit to add the ability to leverage libfko fault
injections from both the fwknop client and server command lines via a
new option '--fault-injection-tag <tag name>'. This option is used by
the test suite with the tests/fault_injection.pl tests.
