Notes on nocat exception rules.

Here are notes of an attempt to adapt http://lists.nocat.net/pipermail/nocat/2003-August/003543.html for use at PTP Node375 and should eventually be generalized.

An earlier post is simpler and does not include the port forwarding. http://lists.nocat.net/pipermail/nocat/2003-February/002816.html

Two cases:

Allow a specific ip_number,mac_addr pair through firewall before nocat splash rules apply. (nocat exception)
Allow inbound traffic to specific ports of the external interface of the nocat box to forward into an internal machine. (port forwarding)

Currently this setup works in the first case but not the second. One thing that is different here is when the script is called. I simpilifed by putting it into initialize.fw and perhaps it should happen elsewhere as dmzs recommends.

Setup notes for Node375

A. Add the following line to the end of /usr/share/nocatauth/gateway/bin/initialize.fw

/usr/share/nocatauth/gateway/bin/intel.rules.sh

B. Add the following lines to /etc/dhcpd.conf

host cowcam {
 hardware ethernet 00:06:25:1A:5E:57;
 fixed-address 10.11.19.12;
 option host-name "cowcam";
}

host bbs {
 hardware ethernet 00:04:23:48:7E:98;
 fixed-address 10.11.19.99;
 option host-name "bbs";
}

C. Create new file /usr/share/nocatauth/gateway/bin/intel.rules.sh

and change permissions to a+x

/usr/share/nocatauth/gateway/bin/exception-portfwd.sh permit 10.11.19.99 00:04:23:48:7E:98 eth0 19931 5631 tcp
/usr/share/nocatauth/gateway/bin/exception-portfwd.sh permit 10.11.19.12 00:06:25:1A:5E:57 eth0 11231 5631 tcp
/usr/share/nocatauth/gateway/bin/exception-portfwd.sh permit 10.11.19.99 00:04:23:48:7E:98 eth0 19932 5632 udp
/usr/share/nocatauth/gateway/bin/exception-portfwd.sh permit 10.11.19.12 00:06:25:1A:5E:57 eth0 11232 5632 udp

NOTE: This leads to extra rules that are redundant in order to allow tcp and udp to be set on the command line. The script needs to be reworked to fix.

D. Create new file /usr/share/nocatauth/gateway/bin/exception-portfwd.sh

and change permissions to a+x

# 02-14-03 dmz@dmzs.com
# 02-16-03 dmz@dmzs.com - modified to work with host on specific interface
# 07-30-03 dmz@dmzs.com - added inbound DNAT redirection from extport to dstport on specified host
# 09-03-04 amj@personaltelco.net - added seventh option to support tcp|udp portfwd cmd line option

E. Restart the services
