PORTSENTRY


Il testo, estratto dalla Mailing List dello Slug, e' una trattazione del programma Portsentry, a seguito di un lungo Thread incentrato sulla sicurezza, che ha appassionato l'intero User Group. La riportiamo per intero, con lo stile letterario libero, ma efficace, in uso comunemente nelle Mailing List


Nel thread sullo smurf di qualche settimana fa parlavo di un programma di
cui avevo sentito parlare, ovvero PORTSENTRY. Me lo sono procurato e me lo
sono un po' studiato. Qua faccio un breve resoconto per chi potesse essere
interessato.

- Innanzi tutto a cosa serve e cosa puo' fare.
PORTSENTRY serve per vedere e bloccare portscan del computer, o, piu' in
generale, per controllare certe porte e reagire in vari modi se tentativi 
di connessione avvengono su queste porte.
PORTSENTRY puo' controllare sia porte TCP che porte UDP in tre modalita', 
specificabili tramite un parametro sulla riga di comando o tramite il file di
configurazione startup.conf (sezioni TCP_MODE e UDP_MODE). Le tre modalita' 
sono:
  = Basic mode (-tcp o -udp): PORTSENTRY apre le porte specificate nel file
  portsentry.conf e le controlla, reagendo seguendo la configurazione.
  = Stealth mode (-stcp o -sudp): PORTSENTRY non apre nessuna porta, invece
  crea un socket raw per controllare ogni pacchetto in entrata e, se è
  diretto verso una delle porte specificate, regisce in base alla
  configurazione.
  = Advanced Stealth Mode (-atcp o -audp): E' sicuramente la modalita' che
  garantisce maggior sicurezza dato che si comporta come nello Stealth Mode,
  ma reagisce a connessioni che avvengano su tutte le porte specificate in
  un certo range escluse quelle specificate nel file portsentry.conf. In
  questo modo possiamo configurare che accedano al PC solo i client
  interessati ai servizi effettivamente forniti. 

- PORTSENTRY "reagisce"? Ovvero?
Quando PORTSENTRY identifica che da un certo IP provengono connessioni non
autorizzate:
  = scrive una riga di log tramite la syslog facility
  = scrive l'IP sul file portsentry.blocked. Questo file viene aggiunto in
  coda al file di history alla partenza di portsentry e poi svuotato,
  cosicche' a ogni esecuzione di PORTSENTRY gli IP bloccati nelle precendenti
  esecuzioni vengono ignorati
  = impedisce al pacchetto di tornare all'IP incriminato
  = esegue un comando (specificabile nel portsentry.conf) che permetta di
  ignorare quell'IP. Questo puo' essere fatto aggiungendo l'IP a hosts.deny
  (usando quindi i TCP wrappers) o, ancora meglio, specificando l'IP in una
  catena di REJECT a ipchains.

- Configurazione di PORTSENTRY
La configurazione di PORTSENTRY viene effettuata da dei file presenti nella
directory /etc/portsentry/. Analizziamoli in dettaglio
  portsentry.conf
    File principale di configurazione di PORTSENTRY
    E' suddiviso in sezioni:
    = TCP_PORTS: lista di porte TCP da controllare in basic e stealth mode
    = UDP_PORTS: come sopra per UDP
    = ADVANCED_PORTS_TCP: numero della piu' alta porta TCP da controllare
    (Default: 1024)
    = ADVANCED_PORTS_UDP: come sopra per UDP
    = ADVANCED_EXCLUDE_TCP: Porte TCP da escludere in advanced stealth mode
    = ADVANCED_EXCLUDE_UDP: come sopra per UDP
    = IGNORE_FILE: file con gli IP da ignorare
    = BLOCKED_FILE: file con gli IP bloccati
    = BLOCK_TCP: blocca connessioni TCP?
    = BLOCK_UDP: blocca connessioni UDP?
    = KILL_ROUTE: comando per "droppare" la connessione incriminata. 
    = KILL_HOSTS_DENY: riga da scrivere nel file hosts.deny
    = KILL_RUN_CMD: comando da eseguire prima di "droppare" la connessione
    incriminata
    = SCAN_TRIGGER: numero di connessioni da un host prima di attivare la
    reazione di PORTSENTRY
    = PORT_BANNER: testo da mostrare alla persona che cerca di connettersi
    su una porta protetta (solo in Basic Mode)
  startup.conf
    Modalita' all'avvio di PORTSENTRY, letto se il programma viene lanciato
    da /etc/init.d/portsentry.
    E' diviso in due sezioni:
    = TCP_MODE: modalita' di cntrollo delle porte TCP
    puo' essere tcp, stcp, atcp
    = UDP_MODE: modalita' di controllo delle porte UDP
    puo' essere udp, sudp, audp
  portsentry.ignore.static
    Contiene una lista di IP che all'avvio di PORTSENTRY saranno messi nel
    file portsentry.ignore, ovvero IP che non dovrebbero mai essere bloccati.
    Generalmente ci si puo' mettere 127.0.0.1 (localhost), 0.0.0.0 e gli IP
    locali (se si e' in una LAN).


- OK. E quindi?
Quindi? Fate voi... Qua ci sono i miei file di configurazione di portsentry.

# Port Configurations #
#######################
#
#
# Some example port configs for classic and basic Stealth modes
#
# I like to always keep some ports at the "low" end of the spectrum.
# This will detect a sequential port sweep really quickly and usually
# these ports are not in use (i.e. tcpmux port 1)
#
# ** X-Windows Users **: If you are running X on your box, you need to be sure
# you are not binding PortSentry to port 6000 (or port 2000 for OpenWindows users). 
# Doing so will prevent the X-client from starting properly. 
#
# These port bindings are *ignored* for Advanced Stealth Scan Detection Mode.
#

# Un-comment these if you are really anal:
#TCP_PORTS=	"1,7,9,11,15,70,79,80,109,110,111,119,138,139,143,512,513,514,515,540,635,

# This is the number of ports you want PortSentry to monitor in Advanced mode.
# Any port *below* this number will be monitored. Right now it watches 
# everything below 1023. 
# 
# On many Linux systems you cannot bind above port 61000. This is because
# these ports are used as part of IP masquerading. I don't recommend you
# bind over this number of ports. Realistically: I DON'T RECOMMEND YOU MONITOR 
# OVER 1023 PORTS AS YOUR FALSE ALARM RATE WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY RISE. You've been
# warned! Don't write me if you have have a problem because I'll only tell
# you to RTFM and don't run above the first 1023 ports.

# This field tells PortSentry what ports (besides listening daemons) to
# ignore. This is helpful for services like ident that services such 
# as FTP, SMTP, and wrappers look for but you may not run (and probably 
# *shouldn't* IMHO). 
#
# By specifying ports here PortSentry will simply not respond to
# incoming requests, in effect PortSentry treats them as if they are
# actual bound daemons. The default ports are ones reported as 
# problematic false alarms and should probably be left alone for
# all but the most isolated systems/networks.

#
##################
# Ignore Options #
##################
# These options allow you to enable automatic response
# options for UDP/TCP. This is useful if you just want
# warnings for connections, but don't want to react for  
# a particular protocol (i.e. you want to block TCP, but
# not UDP). To prevent a possible Denial of service attack
# against UDP and stealth scan detection for TCP, you may 
# want to disable blocking, but leave the warning enabled. 
# I personally would wait for this to become a problem before
# doing though as most attackers really aren't doing this.
# The third option allows you to run just the external command
# in case of a scan to have a pager script or such execute
# but not drop the route. This may be useful for some admins
# who want to block TCP, but only want pager/e-mail warnings
# on UDP, etc.
#
# 
# 0 = Do not block UDP/TCP scans.
# 1 = Block UDP/TCP scans.
# 2 = Run external command only (KILL_RUN_CMD)

###################
# Dropping Routes:#
###################
# This command is used to drop the route or add the host into
# a local filter table. 
#
# The gateway (333.444.555.666) should ideally be a dead host on 
# the *local* subnet. On some hosts you can also point this at
# localhost (127.0.0.1) and get the same effect. NOTE THAT
# 333.444.555.66 WILL *NOT* WORK. YOU NEED TO CHANGE IT!!
#
# All KILL ROUTE OPTIONS ARE COMMENTED OUT INITIALLY. Make sure you
# uncomment the correct line for your OS. If you OS is not listed
# here and you have a route drop command that works then please
# mail it to me so I can include it. ONLY ONE KILL_ROUTE OPTION
# CAN BE USED AT A TIME SO DON'T UNCOMMENT MULTIPLE LINES.
#
# NOTE: The route commands are the least optimal way of blocking
# and do not provide complete protection against UDP attacks and
# will still generate alarms for both UDP and stealth scans. I
# always recommend you use a packet filter because they are made
# for this purpose.

# Using a packet filter is the preferred method. The below lines
# work well on many OS's. Remember, you can only uncomment *one*
# KILL_ROUTE option.
##

# For those of you running Linux with ipfwadm installed you may like
# this better as it drops the host into the packet filter.
# You can only have one KILL_ROUTE turned on at a time though.
# This is the best method for Linux hosts.

#
KILL_HOSTS_DENY="ALL: $TARGET$"
#
# Format Two: New Style - The format used when extended option
# processing is enabled. You can drop in extended processing
# options, but be sure you escape all '%' symbols with a backslash
# to prevent problems writing out (i.e. \%c \%h )

###################
# External Command#
###################
# This is a command that is run when a host connects, it can be whatever
# you want it to be (pager, etc.). This command is executed before the 
# route is dropped. I NEVER RECOMMEND YOU PUT IN RETALIATORY ACTIONS
# AGAINST THE HOST SCANNING YOU. TCP/IP is an *unauthenticated protocol*
# and people can make scans appear out of thin air. The only time it
# is reasonably safe (and I *never* think it is reasonable) to run
# reverse probe scripts is when using the "classic" -tcp mode. This
# mode requires a full connect and is very hard to spoof.
#
#KILL_RUN_CMD="/some/path/here/script $TARGET$ $PORT$"
#see /usr/doc/portsentry/expamples/kill_cmd for an example script

#####################
# Scan trigger value#
#####################
# Enter in the number of port connects you will allow before an 
# alarm is given. The default is 0 which will react immediately.
# A value of 1 or 2 will reduce false alarms. Anything higher is 
# probably not necessary. This value must always be specified, but
# generally can be left at 0. 
#
# NOTE: If you are using the advanced detection option you need to
# be careful that you don't make a hair trigger situation. Because
# Advanced mode will react for *any* host connecting to a non-used
# below your specified range, you have the opportunity to really 
# break things. (i.e someone innocently tries to connect to you via 
# SSL [TCP port 443] and you immediately block them). Some of you
# may even want this though. Just be careful.

- Si', ma il thread parlava di SMURF...
evabbe'... PORTSENTRY evita i portscan e le connessioni non autorizzate al
PC... e' utile, no?
