## Iptables
### Chains
Iptables chains are just lists of rules, processed in order. You will always find the following 3, but others such as NAT might also be supported.
* **Input** This chain is used to control the behavior of incoming connections.
* **Forward** This chain is used for incoming connections that arent being delivered locally. Think of a router data is always being sent to it but rarely actually destined for the router itself; the data is just forwarded to its target. Unless youre doing some kind of routing, NATing, or something else on your system that requires forwarding, you wont even use this chain.
2022-06-05 15:38:02 +00:00
* **Output** This chain is used for outgoing connections.
```bash
# Delete all rules
iptables -F
# List all rules
iptables -L
iptables -S
# Block IP addresses & ports
2022-06-06 21:48:24 +00:00
iptables -I INPUT -s ip1,ip2,ip3 -j DROP
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP
iptables -I INPUT -s ip1,ip2 -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP
2022-06-05 15:38:02 +00:00
# String based drop
## Strings are case sensitive (pretty easy to bypass if you want to check an SQLi for example)
2022-06-05 15:38:02 +00:00
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport <port_listening> -m string --algo bm --string '<payload>' -j DROP
iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --sport <port_listening> -m string --algo bm --string 'CTF{' -j DROP
## You can also check for the hex, base64 and double base64 of the expected CTF flag chars
# Drop every input port except some
iptables -P INPUT DROP # Default to drop
2022-06-06 21:48:24 +00:00
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
2022-06-05 15:38:02 +00:00
# Persist Iptables
## Debian/Ubuntu:
apt-get install iptables-persistent
iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4
ip6tables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v6
iptables-restore < /etc/iptables/rules.v4
##RHEL/CentOS:
iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables
ip6tables-save > /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables
iptables-restore < /etc/sysconfig/iptables
```

### Install & Config
2022-06-05 15:38:02 +00:00
```bash
# Install details from: https://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/suricata-6.0.0/install.html#install-binary-packages
# Ubuntu
2022-06-06 17:56:00 +00:00
add-apt-repository ppa:oisf/suricata-stable
apt-get update
apt-get install suricata
2022-06-05 15:38:02 +00:00
# Debian
echo "deb http://http.debian.net/debian buster-backports main" > \
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list
apt-get update
apt-get install suricata -t buster-backports
# CentOS
yum install epel-release
yum install suricata
2022-06-06 17:56:00 +00:00
# Get rules
suricata-update
suricata-update list-sources #List sources of the rules
suricata-update enable-source et/open #Add et/open rulesets
suricata-update
## To use the dowloaded rules update the following line in /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml
default-rule-path: /var/lib/suricata/rules
rule-files:
- suricata.rules
# Run
## Add rules in /etc/suricata/rules/suricata.rules
systemctl suricata start
suricata -c /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml -i eth0
# Reload rules
suricatasc -c ruleset-reload-nonblocking
## or set the follogin in /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml
detect-engine:
- rule-reload: true
# Validate suricata config
suricata -T -c /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml -v
# Configure suricata as IPs
## Config drop to generate alerts
2022-06-06 17:56:00 +00:00
## Search for the following lines in /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml and remove comments:
- drop:
alerts: yes
flows: all
## Forward all packages to the queue where suricata can act as IPS
iptables -I INPUT -j NFQUEUE
iptables -I OUTPUT -j NFQUEUE
## Start suricata in IPS mode
suricata -c /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml -q 0
2022-06-07 22:17:51 +00:00
### or modify the service config file as:
systemctl edit suricata.service
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/suricata -c /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml --pidfile /run/suricata.pid -q 0 -vvv
Type=simple
systemctl daemon-reload
2022-06-05 15:38:02 +00:00
```
2022-06-06 17:56:00 +00:00
### Rules Definitions
A rule/signature consists of the following:
* The **action**, determines what happens when the signature matches.
* The **header**, defines the protocol, IP addresses, ports and direction of the rule.
* The **rule options**, define the specifics of the rule.

![](<../../../.gitbook/assets/image (642) (3).png>)
2022-06-06 17:56:00 +00:00
#### **Valid actions are**
* alert - generate an alert
* pass - stop further inspection of the packet
* **drop** - drop packet and generate alert
* **reject** - send RST/ICMP unreachable error to the sender of the matching packet.
2022-06-06 17:56:00 +00:00
* rejectsrc - same as just _reject_
* rejectdst - send RST/ICMP error packet to the receiver of the matching packet.
2022-06-06 17:56:00 +00:00
* rejectboth - send RST/ICMP error packets to both sides of the conversation.
#### **Protocols**
* tcp (for tcp-traffic)
* udp
* icmp
* ip (ip stands for all or any)
* _layer7 protocols_: http, ftp, tls, smb, dns, ssh... (more in the [**docs**](https://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/suricata-6.0.0/rules/intro.html))
#### Source and Destination Addresses
It supports IP ranges, negations and a list of addresses:
2022-06-06 17:56:00 +00:00
| Example | Meaning |

| ! 1.1.1.1 | Every IP address but 1.1.1.1 |
| !\[1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.2] | Every IP address but 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2 |
| $HOME\_NET | Your setting of HOME\_NET in yaml |
| \[$EXTERNAL\_NET, !$HOME\_NET] | EXTERNAL\_NET and not HOME\_NET |
| \[10.0.0.0/24, !10.0.0.5] | 10.0.0.0/24 except for 10.0.0.5 |
#### Source and Destination Ports
It supports port ranges, negations and lists of ports
| Example | Meaning |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| any | any address |
| \[80, 81, 82] | port 80, 81 and 82 |
| \[80: 82] | Range from 80 till 82 |

```
source -> destination
source <> destination (both directions)
```
#### Keywords
There are **hundreds of options** available in Suricata to search for the **specific packet** you are looking for, here it will be mentioned if something interesting is found. Check the [**documentation** ](https://suricata.readthedocs.io/en/suricata-6.0.0/rules/index.html)for more!
2022-06-06 17:56:00 +00:00

reject tcp any any -> any any (msg: "php-rce"; content: "eval"; nocase; metadata: tag php-rce; sid:101; rev: 1;)

## Content and replace string must have the same length
2022-06-06 21:48:24 +00:00

## But it only modifies the first match

# Filter by regex
pcre:"/<regex>/opts"
pcre:"/NICK .*USA.*[0-9]{3,}/i"
