Packets are matched by applying an ordered list of pattern rules against each packet until a match is found, at which point the corresponding action is taken. Rules are numbered from 1 to 65534; multiple rules may share the same number. .Pp There is one rule that always exists, rule number 65535. This rule normally causes all packets to be dropped. Hence, any packet which does not match a lower numbered rule will be dropped. However, a kernel compile time option .Dv IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT allows the administrator to change this fixed rule to permit everything. .Pp The value passed to .Fn setsockopt is a struct ip_fw describing the rule (see below). In some cases (such as .Dv IP_FW_DEL ) , only the rule number is significant. .Ss Commands The following socket options are used to manage the rule list: .Bl -tag -width "IP_FW_FLUSH" .It Dv IP_FW_ADD inserts the rule into the rule list .It Dv IP_FW_DEL deletes all rules having the matching rule number .It Dv IP_FW_GET returns the (first) rule having the matching rule number .It Dv IP_FW_ZERO zeros the statistics associated with all rules having the matching rule number. If the rule number is zero, all rules are zeroed. .It Dv IP_FW_FLUSH removes all rules (except 65535). .El .Pp When the kernel security level is greater than 2, only .Dv IP_FW_GET is allowed. .Ss Rule Structure Rules are described by the following structure: .Bd -literal /* Specify an interface */ union ip_fw_if { struct in_addr fu_via_ip; /* Specified by IP address */ struct { /* Specified by interface name */ #define FW_IFNLEN 6 /* To keep structure on 2^x boundary */ char name[FW_IFNLEN]; short unit; /* -1 means match any unit */ } fu_via_if; }; /* One ipfw rule */ struct ip_fw { u_long fw_pcnt,fw_bcnt; /* Packet and byte counters */ struct in_addr fw_src, fw_dst; /* Source and destination IP addr */ struct in_addr fw_smsk, fw_dmsk;/* Mask for src and dest IP addr */ u_short fw_number; /* Rule number */ u_short fw_flg; /* Flags word */ #define IP_FW_MAX_PORTS 10 /* A reasonable maximum */ u_short fw_pts[IP_FW_MAX_PORTS];/* Array of port numbers to match */ u_char fw_ipopt,fw_ipnopt; /* IP options set/unset */ u_char fw_tcpf,fw_tcpnf; /* TCP flags set/unset */ #define IP_FW_ICMPTYPES_DIM (256 / (sizeof(unsigned) * 8)) unsigned fw_icmptypes[IP_FW_ICMPTYPES_DIM]; /* ICMP types bitmap */ long timestamp; /* timestamp (tv_sec) of last match */ union ip_fw_if fw_in_if, fw_out_if;/* Incoming / outgoing interfaces */ union { u_short fu_divert_port; /* Divert/tee port */ u_short fu_skipto_rule; /* SKIPTO command rule number */ u_short fu_reject_code; /* REJECT response code */ } fw_un; u_char fw_prot; /* IP protocol */ u_char fw_nports; /* N'of src ports and # of dst ports */ /* in ports array (dst ports follow */ /* src ports; max of 10 ports in all */ /* count of 0 means match all ports) */ }; /* Encoding of number of source/dest ports from "fw_nports" */ #define IP_FW_GETNSRCP(rule) ((rule)->fw_nports & 0x0f) #define IP_FW_SETNSRCP(rule, n) do { \\ (rule)->fw_nports &= ~0x0f; \\ (rule)->fw_nports |= (n); \\ } while (0) #define IP_FW_GETNDSTP(rule) ((rule)->fw_nports >> 4) #define IP_FW_SETNDSTP(rule, n) do { \\ (rule)->fw_nports &= ~0xf0; \\ (rule)->fw_nports |= (n) << 4;\\ } while (0) /* Flags values for "flags" field */ #define IP_FW_F_IN 0x0001 /* Check inbound packets */ #define IP_FW_F_OUT 0x0002 /* Check outbound packets */ #define IP_FW_F_IIFACE 0x0004 /* Apply inbound interface test */ #define IP_FW_F_OIFACE 0x0008 /* Apply outbound interface test */ #define IP_FW_F_COMMAND 0x0070 /* Mask for type of chain entry: */ #define IP_FW_F_DENY 0x0000 /* This is a deny rule */ #define IP_FW_F_REJECT 0x0010 /* Deny and send a response packet */ #define IP_FW_F_ACCEPT 0x0020 /* This is an accept rule */ #define IP_FW_F_COUNT 0x0030 /* This is a count rule */ #define IP_FW_F_DIVERT 0x0040 /* This is a divert rule */ #define IP_FW_F_TEE 0x0050 /* This is a tee rule */ #define IP_FW_F_SKIPTO 0x0060 /* This is a skipto rule */ #define IP_FW_F_PRN 0x0080 /* Print if this rule matches */ #define IP_FW_F_SRNG 0x0100 /* The first two src ports are a min * * and max range (stored in host byte * * order). */ #define IP_FW_F_DRNG 0x0200 /* The first two dst ports are a min * * and max range (stored in host byte * * order). */ #define IP_FW_F_IIFNAME 0x0400 /* In interface by name/unit (not IP) */ #define IP_FW_F_OIFNAME 0x0800 /* Out interface by name/unit (not IP) */ #define IP_FW_F_INVSRC 0x1000 /* Invert sense of src check */ #define IP_FW_F_INVDST 0x2000 /* Invert sense of dst check */ #define IP_FW_F_FRAG 0x4000 /* Fragment */ #define IP_FW_F_ICMPBIT 0x8000 /* ICMP type bitmap is valid */ #define IP_FW_F_MASK 0xFFFF /* All possible flag bits mask */ .Ed .Ss Rule Actions Each rule has an action described by the IP_FW_F_COMMAND bits in the flags word: .Bl -tag -width "IP_FW_F_DIVERT" .It Dv IP_FW_F_DENY drop packet .It Dv IP_FW_F_REJECT drop packet; send rejection via ICMP or TCP .It Dv IP_FW_F_ACCEPT accept packet .It Dv IP_FW_F_COUNT increment counters; continue matching .It Dv IP_FW_F_DIVERT divert packet to a .Xr divert 4 socket .It Dv IP_FW_F_TEE copy packet to a .Xr divert 4 socket; continue .It Dv IP_FW_F_SKIPTO skip to rule number .Va fu_skipto_rule .El .Pp In the case of .Dv IP_FW_F_REJECT , if the .Va fu_reject_code is a number from 0 to 255, then an ICMP unreachable packet is sent back to the original packet's source IP address, with the corresponding code. Otherwise, the value must be 256 and the protocol .Dv IPPROTO_TCP , in which case a TCP reset packet is sent instead. .Pp With .Dv IP_FW_F_SKIPTO , all succeeding rules having rule number less than .Va fu_skipto_rule are skipped. .Ss Kernel Options Options in the kernel configuration file: .Bl -tag -width "options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT" .It Cd options IPFIREWALL enable .Nm .It Cd options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE enable firewall logging .It Cd options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT limit firewall logging .It Cd options IPDIVERT enable .Xr divert 4 sockets .El .Pp When packets match a rule with the .Dv IP_FW_F_PRN bit set, and if .Dv IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE has been enabled, a message is written to .Pa /dev/klog with the .Dv LOG_SECURITY facility (see .Xr syslog 3 ) for further logging by .Xr syslogd 8 ; .Dv IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT limits the maximum number of times each rule can cause a log message. These variables are also available via the .Xr sysctl 3 interface. .Sh RETURN VALUES The .Fn setsockopt function returns 0 on success. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable .Va errno is set to indicate the error. .Sh ERRORS The .Fn setsockopt function will fail if: .Bl -tag -width Er .It Bq Er EINVAL The IP option field was improperly formed; an option field was shorter than the minimum value or longer than the option buffer provided. .It Bq Er EINVAL A structural error in ip_fw structure occurred (n_src_p+n_dst_p too big, ports set for ALL/ICMP protocols etc.). .It Bq Er EINVAL An invalid rule number was used. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr setsockopt 2 , .Xr divert 4 , .Xr ip 4 , .Xr ipfw 8 , .Xr sysctl 8 , .Xr syslogd 8 .Sh BUGS The ``tee'' rule is not yet implemented (currently it has no effect). .Pp This man page still needs work. .Sh HISTORY The ipfw facility was initially written as package to BSDI by .An Daniel Boulet .Aq danny@BouletFermat.ab.ca .
