Iptables script

Hello

Continuing to secure my box, I’d like to know if you could provide a generic iptables configuration script for RH9 with nodeworx/siteworx

I’ll add other services (out of nodeworx services) in this one (for example ircd)

Thanks :slight_smile:

so ??? Paul ? Chris ?

well, this thread has really no success :-p

In fact all my threads about box security as no success.

Maybe better lucky a next time

squalito,

I apologize, we’ve just been busy with this release. Any basic iptables script will do that blocks all ports, and then selectively adds ports that are needed. For InterWorx-CP itself you’ll need 2443 open and if you want web/email/ssh/ftp open those ports can all be found in /etc/services.

We will at some point provide a standard baseline iptables script but have so far left it up to the server owner.

Chris

No pbm for the delay.
What I propose you is to provide a script here before installing it and wait for your comments :slight_smile:

Just in case of :-p

Sagonet has a general IPtables script posted on their forum.

Thank you lost :slight_smile:

Ok here is the script I made helping me from the sago script


#!/bin/bash 
set -e 

# Caution! Once this firewall is active, 
# changes will almost certainly require a reboot, 
# or at least console (the network will be unavailable). 

# Load IRC & FTP modules for use behind a NAT. Usually not necessary. 
modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp

## Okay, the rules 

# Rejects go here 
iptables -N rej 
iptables -A rej -p udp -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable 
iptables -A rej -p tcp -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset

iptables -A pudp -p udp --dport 161 -j ACCEPT # SNMP (udp) 

iptables -A pudp -p udp --dport bootps:bootpc -j DROP 
iptables -A pudp -j slowrej 

## TCP rules 

# Enable services on an as-needed basis.

iptables -A ptcp -j slowrej 

## ICMP rules

# iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j rej 
# 
# For particularly abusive servers or brain-dead software that keeps trying 
# even with rej, try this instead: 
#iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j DROP 
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -j pudp 
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -j ptcp 
iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -j picmp 

I’m not sure to have to open the 2080 port (nodeworx ???) and the 3306 (mysql) port.

Ok so stop me if I’m saying something bad :

I run the script then do iptables-save and copy the output in /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Right ?

Any comments on this script would be welcome

Do I absolutly have to reboot my box ?

Thanks
Pascal
