HOW to enable traceroute with IPTABLES

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,

I am setting up a firewall on CENTOS 4.4.

I have done default block

iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP

 
I have enabled ICMP to www.google.com

iptables -A OUTPUT -p icmp -d 64.233.189.104 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -s 64.233.189.104 -j ACCEPT

Ping works fine as below
[root@firebox rc.d]# ping 64.233.189.104
PING 64.233.189.104 ( 64.233.189.104) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 64.233.189.104: icmp_seq=0 ttl=246 time=91.7 ms
64 bytes from 64.233.189.104: icmp_seq=1 ttl=246 time= 92.6 ms
64 bytes from 64.233.189.104: icmp_seq=2 ttl=246 time=93.2 ms
64 bytes from 64.233.189.104: icmp_seq=3 ttl=246 time=92.8 ms
64 bytes from 64.233.189.104: icmp_seq=4 ttl=246 time=91.4 ms
64 bytes from 64.233.189.104: icmp_seq=5 ttl=246 time=93.1 ms

But I still can not traceroute to that ip

Pls see below, as to when I try traceroute

[root@firebox rc.d]# traceroute 64.233.189.104
traceroute to 64.233.189.104 ( 64.233.189.104), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
traceroute: sendto: Operation not permitted
 1 traceroute: wrote 64.233.189.104 38 chars, ret=-1
 *traceroute: sendto: Operation not permitted

 *
traceroute: sendto: Operation not permitted
 2 traceroute: wrote 64.233.189.104 38 chars, ret=-1
