I have a Intranet with clients Win XP and a server-router for exit to Internet Debian Woody with iptables making NAT. I want that a client (host 192.168.111.2) can download and upload files with eMule and I want that this host doesn't have Low ID of eMule. For that I have opened the ports and redirected the packages TCP/UDP toward the client.All the rules are copied from Oskar Andreasson tutorial, except those of FORWARD AND PREROUTING referred to eMule ports. But I'm not sure if I made it well. You could give me your opinions???? I want to open up exclusively the necessary ports but I want to maintain the highest security in the rest. I paste a copy of the iptables script below so that see it (maximize the window to see better the script) --------------------------paste-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh /etc/init.d/iptables clear INET_IFACE="eth0" INET_IP=$(ipofif eth0) LAN_IFACE="eth1" LAN_IP="192.168.111.1" LAN_IP_RANGE="192.168.111.0/8" LO_IFACE="lo" LO_IP="127.0.0.1" IPTABLES="/sbin/iptables" $IPTABLES -P INPUT DROP $IPTABLES -P OUTPUT DROP $IPTABLES -P FORWARD DROP # # Create chain for bad tcp packets # $IPTABLES -N bad_tcp_packets # # Create separate chains for ICMP, TCP and UDP to traverse # $IPTABLES -N allowed $IPTABLES -N tcp_packets $IPTABLES -N udp_packets $IPTABLES -N icmp_packets # # bad_tcp_packets chain # $IPTABLES -A bad_tcp_packets -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,ACK SYN,ACK \ -m state --state NEW -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset $IPTABLES -A bad_tcp_packets -p tcp ! --syn -m state --state NEW -j LOG \ --log-prefix "New not syn:" $IPTABLES -A bad_tcp_packets -p tcp ! --syn -m state --state NEW -j DROP # # allowed chain # $IPTABLES -A allowed -p TCP --syn -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A allowed -p TCP -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A allowed -p TCP -j DROP # # TCP rules # $IPTABLES -A tcp_packets -p TCP -s 0/0 --dport 4661 -j allowed $IPTABLES -A tcp_packets -p TCP -s 0/0 --dport 4662 -j allowed $IPTABLES -A tcp_packets -p TCP -s 0/0 --dport 4711 -j allowed # # UDP ports # $IPTABLES -A udp_packets -p UDP -s 0/0 --destination-port 2074 -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A udp_packets -p UDP -s 0/0 --destination-port 4000 -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A udp_packets -p UDP -s 0/0 --destination-port 4665 -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A udp_packets -p UDP -s 0/0 --destination-port 4672 -j ACCEPT # # If we get DHCP requests from the Outside of our network, our logs will # be swamped as well.
