I want to open the port 25 of my Mac, so I edited the file /etc/pf.conf
MacBook-Pro-de-nunito:~ calzada$ more /etc/pf.conf
#
# Default PF configuration file.
#
# This file contains the main ruleset, which gets automatically loaded
# at startup. PF will not be automatically enabled, however. Instead,
# each component which utilizes PF is responsible for enabling and disabling
# PF via -E and -X as documented in pfctl(8). That will ensure that PF
# is disabled only when the last enable reference is released.
#
# Care must be taken to ensure that the main ruleset does not get flushed,
# as the nested anchors rely on the anchor point defined here. In addition,
# to the anchors loaded by this file, some system services would dynamically
# insert anchors into the main ruleset. These anchors will be added only when
# the system service is used and would removed on termination of the service.
#
# See pf.conf(5) for syntax.

load anchor "com.apple" from "/etc/pf.anchors/com.apple"
But when I restart the service, I got these errors:

Are you sure you have something listening on port 25? If you don't have anything listening on port 25 it will show as closed.
As you ran nmap on localhost you wouldn't even need to allow anything through the firewall. You would only need to allow it through the firewall if traffic was coming inbound from another device.
You can use the following to check if a program is listening on port 25
lsof -n -i:25 | grep LISTEN

I'm trying to set up rsyslog with TLS to forward specific records from /var/log/auth.log from host A to a remote server B.
The configuration file I wrote for rsyslog is the following:
$DefaultNetstreamDriverCAFile /etc/licensing/certificates/ca.pem
$DefaultNetstreamDriverCertFile /etc/licensing/certificates/client-cert.pem
$DefaultNetstreamDriverKeyFile /etc/licensing/certificates/client-key.pem
$InputFilePollInterval 10
#Read from the auth.log file and assign the tag "ssl-auth" for its messages
input
(type="imfile"
File="/var/log/auth.log"
reopenOnTruncate="on"
deleteStateOnFileDelete="on"
Tag="ssl-auth")
$template auth_log, " %msg% "
# Send ssl traffic to server on port 514
if ($syslogtag == 'ssl-auth') then{action
(type="omfwd"
protocol="tcp"
target="<ip#server>"
port="514"
template="auth_log"
StreamDriver="gtls"
StreamDriverMode="1"
StreamDriverAuthMode="x509/name"
)}
Using this configuration, when I try to ssh-login the first time into the host A from another host X everything works fine; the file /var/log/auth.log is written and the tcpdump shows traffic towards server B.
But from then on, it does not work anymore.
Even if I try to exit from host A and login back again whenever I do, the file /var/log/auth.log is not ever written and no traffic appears over tcpdump.
The very strange things is that if I remove the TLS from the configuration it works.
In order to check that all the servers across a fleet aren't supporting deprecated algorithms, I'm (programmatically) doing this:
telnet localhost 22
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

Connection closed by foreign host.
Which is supposed to be a list of supported algorithms for the various phases of setting up a connection. (kex, host key, etc). Every time I run, I get a different piece of odd data at the start - always a different length.
There's an nmap plugin - ssh2-enum-algos - which returns the data in it's complete form, but I don't want to run nmap; I have a go program which opens the port, and sends the query, but it gets the same as telnet. What am I missing, and how do I fix it?
For comparison, here's the top few lines from the output of nmap script:
$ nmap --script ssh2-enum-algos super
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2019-12-27 22:15 GMT

Opening a tcp connection to port 22, (in golang, with net.Dial) then accepting and sending connection strings leaves us able to Read() from the Reader for the connection. Thence the data is in a standard format described by the RFC. From this, I can list the algorithms supported in each phase of an ssh connection. This is very useful for measuring what is being offered, rather than what the appears to be configured (it's easy to configure sshd to use a different config file).
It's a useful thing to be able to do from a security POV.
Tested on every version of ssh I can find from 1.x on a very old solaris or AIX box, to RHEL 8.1.
In some cases you can specify an algorithm to use, and if you specify one that is not supported the server will reply with a list of supported algorithms.
For example, to check for supported key exchange algorithms you can use:
ssh 127.0.0.1 -oKexAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 is insecure and should be missing from most modern servers. The server will probably respond with something like:
Unable to negotiate with 127.0.0.1 port 22: no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: curve25519-sha256,curve25519-sha256#libssh.org,ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group16-sha512,diffie-hellman-group18-sha512,diffie-hellman-group14-sha256
Exit 255
Typing: "ssh -Q cipher | cipher-auth | mac | kex | key"
will give you a list of the algorithms supported by your client
Typing: "man ssh"
will let you see what options you can specify with the -o argument, including Cipher, MACs, and KexAlgorithms
I am trying to simulate network latency for all traffic to a certain ip/url. I tried using a proxy through Charles but the traffic is going through HTTP or SOCKS. I found some information online but it does not seem to work for me. Can anyone see what is wrong with my commands?
#enable pf
pfctl -E
#add a temporary extra ruleset (called "anchor") named "deeelay
(cat /etc/pf.conf && echo "dummynet-anchor \"deeelay\"" && echo "anchor
\"deeelay\"") | sudo pfctl -f -
#add a rule to the deeelay set to send any traffic to endpoint through new rule
echo "dummynet out proto tcp from any to myurl.com pipe 1" |
sudo pfctl -a deeelay -f -
#Add a rule to dummynet pipe 1 to delay every packet by 500ms
sudo dnctl pipe 1 config delay 500
I see this warning when I run the commands:
No ALTQ support in kernel
ALTQ related functions disabled
Is that the issue?
The problem was the proto parameter. The application is not using tcp, it is using another protocol. You can either supply all the protocols you want as a list like so:
proto { tcp udp icmp ipv6 tlsp smp }
Or you can just remove the proto parameter altogether and it will do all protocols.
I've setup a remote rsyslog server for testing but I can't seem to get it to log from a remote system. I have an app on my desktop (windows) called "Syslog Test Message Utility 1.0" which sends test syslog messages on UDP 514. I see the message appear on my Centos box on port 514 (using Wireshark interface) but no corresponding line appears in /var/log/messages as I would expect.
I've verified that the logging does work (e.g.. logger test) but just not from the remote system. Here is my etc/rsyslog.conf file..

and I've verified that the host is listening on port 514 as expected

udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:514 0.0.0.0:* 15273/rsyslogd
udp6 0 0 :::514 :::* 15273/rsyslogd
I'm just not even sure what to look for next.. I can't seem to figure out why my message coming from my Syslog app isn't creating a log entry in my messages file.
It turns out that CentOS 7 (and I'm assuming RHEL 7) have a firewall other than iptables called firewalld. After disabling this firewall in my dev environment I was able to successfully syslog to 514.
systemctl disable firewalld
systemctl stop firewalld
systemctl status firewalld
Disabling the firewall is admittedly overkill, as I'm sure you can create a rule for 514, but since my server is in a lab...it was acceptable in my case.
I have private DNS servers and I want to write them to resolv.conf with resolvconf on Debian on AWS/EC2.
There is a problem in the order of nameserver entries.
In my resolv.conf, EC2's default nameserver is always written at first line like so:
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 172.16.0.23
nameserver 10.0.1.185
nameserver 10.100.0.130
search ap-northeast-1.compute.internal
172.16.0.23 is EC2's default nameserver and others are mine.
How to remove EC2 entry? Or, how to move EC2 entry to third?
Here I have an interface file:
% ls -l /etc/resolvconf/run/interface/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 62 Jun 7 23:35 eth0
It seems that the file eth0 is automatically generated by dhcp so can't remove it permanently.
% cat /etc/resolvconf/run/interface/eth0
search ap-northeast-1.compute.internal
nameserver 172.16.0.23
My private DNS entry is here:
% cat /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
nameserver 10.0.1.185
nameserver 10.100.0.130
Please help.
I think I just solved a very similar problem. I was bothered by Amazon EC2's crappy internal DNS servers so I wanted to run a local caching dnsmasq daemon and use that in /etc/resolv.conf. At first I just did echo nameserver 127.0.0.1 > /etc/resolv.conf but then I realized that my change would eventually be overwritten by the DHCP client after a reboot or DHCP lease refresh.
What I've now done instead is to edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and uncomment the line prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;. You should be able to use the prepend directive in a very similar way.
Update: These instructions are based on Ubuntu Linux but I imagine the general concept applies on other systems as well, even other DHCP clients must have similar configuration options.
I'm approaching this problem from the other direction (wanting the internal nameservers), much of what I've learned may be of interest.
There are several options to control name resolution in the VPC management console.
VPC -> DHCP option sets -> Create dhcp option set
You can specify your own name servers there.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_DHCP_Options.html
Be sure to attach this dhcp option set to your VPC to get it to take effect.
Alternatively (I found this out by mistake) local dns servers are not set if the following settings are disabled in VPC settings:
DnsHostnames
and
DnsSupport
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/vpc-dns.html
Settings can also be overridden locally (which you'll notice if you move instances between vpcs). /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
The following line might be of interest:
prepend domain-name-servers
Changes, of course, take effect on dhclient start.
How do I assign a static DNS server to a private Amazon EC2 instance running Ubuntu, RHEL, or Amazon Linux?
Short Description
Default behavior for an EC2 instance associated with a virtual private cloud (VPC) is to request a DNS server address at startup using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). The VPC responds to DHCP requests with the address of an internal DNS server. The DNS server addresses returned in the DHCP response are written to the local /etc/resolv.conf file and are used for DNS name resolution requests. Any manual modifications to the resolv.conf file are overwritten when the instance is restarted.
Resolution
To configure an EC2 instance running Linux to use static DNS server entries, use a text editor such as vim to edit the file /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and add the following line to the end of the file:
supersede domain-name-servers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
Ubuntu - dhclient.conf - DHCP client configuration file
The supersede statement
supersede [ option declaration ] ;
If for some option the client should always use a locally-configured value or values
rather than whatever is supplied by the server, these values can be defined in the
supersede statement.
The prepend statement
prepend [ option declaration ] ;
If for some set of options the client should use a value you supply, and then use the
values supplied by the server, if any, these values can be defined in the prepend
statement. The prepend statement can only be used for options which allow more than one
value to be given. This restriction is not enforced - if you ignore it, the behaviour
will be unpredictable.
The append statement
append [ option declaration ] ;
If for some set of options the client should first use the values supplied by the server,
if any, and then use values you supply, these values can be defined in the append
statement. The append statement can only be used for options which allow more than one
value to be given. This restriction is not enforced - if you ignore it, the behaviour
will be unpredictable.
In here someone come with solution that basically replaces the file on boot using rc.local
https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=74497
Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to say PEERDNS=no
Create a file called /etc/resolv.backup with what you want
Add the following 2 lines to /etc/rc.local:
rm -f /etc/resolv.conf cp /etc/resolv.backup /etc/resolv.conf
This is what we are doing for our servers in the environment.
interface "eth0"
{
prepend domain-name-servers 10.x.x.x;
supersede host-name "{Hostname}";
append domain-search "domain";
supersede domain-name "DOMAIN";
}
Hope this helps.
The following worked in a Debian stretch on AWS EC2.
Just create /etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/nodnsupdate:
#!/bin/sh
make_resolv_conf(){
:
}
Then you can modify /etc/resolv.conf and it will persist your changes across restarts.
Setup in crontab as
#reboot cp -r /home/.../resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
