firewall Cookbook

Build Status

Provides a set of primitives for managing firewalls and associated rules.

PLEASE NOTE - The resource/providers in this cookbook are under heavy development. An attempt is being made to keep the resource simple/stupid by starting with less sophisticated firewall implementations first and refactor/vet the resource definition with each successive provider.

Requirements

Platform

  • Ubuntu
  • Debian
  • Redhat
  • CentOS

Tested on:

  • Ubuntu 12.04
  • Ubuntu 14.04
  • Debian 7.8
  • CentOS 6.5
  • CentOS 7.0

Recipes

default

The default recipe creates a firewall resource with action install, and if node['firewall']['allow_ssh'], opens port 22 from the world.

Attributes

  • default['firewall']['ufw']['defaults'] hash for template /etc/default/ufw

Resources/Providers

  • See librariez/z_provider_mapping.rb for a full list of providers for each platform and version.

firewall

Actions

  • :enable: Default action enable the firewall. this will make any rules that have been defined 'active'.
  • :disable: disable the firewall. drop any rules and put the node in an unprotected state.
  • :flush: Runs iptables -F. Only supported by the iptables firewall provider.
  • :save: Runs service iptables save under iptables, adds rules permanently under firewall. Not supported in ufw.

Attribute Parameters

  • name: name attribute. arbitrary name to uniquely identify this resource
  • log_level: level of verbosity the firewall should log at. valid values are: :low, :medium, :high, :full. default is :low.

Examples

# enable platform default firewall
firewall 'ufw' do
  action :enable
end

# increase logging past default of 'low'
firewall 'debug firewalls' do
  log_level :high
  action    :enable
end

firewall_rule

Actions

  • :allow: the rule should allow incoming traffic.
  • :deny: the rule should deny incoming traffic.
  • :reject: *Default action: the rule should reject incoming traffic.
  • :masqerade: Add masqerade rule
  • :redirect: Add redirect-type rule
  • :log: Configure logging
  • :remove: Remove all rules

Attribute Parameters

  • name: name attribute. arbitrary name to uniquely identify this firewall rule
  • protocol: valid values are: :udp, :tcp. default is all protocols
  • port: incoming port number (ie. 22 to allow inbound SSH), or an array of incoming port numbers (ie. [80,443] to allow inbound HTTP & HTTPS). NOTE: protocol attribute is required with multiple ports, or a range of incoming port numbers (ie. 60000..61000 to allow inbound mobile-shell. NOTE: protocol, or an attribute is required with a range of ports.
  • source: ip address or subnet to filter on incoming traffic. default is 0.0.0.0/0 (ie Anywhere)
  • destination: ip address or subnet to filter on outgoing traffic.
  • dest_port: outgoing port number.
  • position: position to insert rule at. if not provided rule is inserted at the end of the rule list.
  • direction: direction of the rule. valid values are: :in, :out, default is :in
  • interface: interface to apply rule (ie. 'eth0').
  • logging: may be added to enable logging for a particular rule. valid values are: :connections, :packets. In the ufw provider, :connections logs new connections while :packets logs all packets.
  • raw: for passing a raw command to the provider (for use with custom modules, also used by zap provider to clean up non-chef managed rules)

Examples

# open standard ssh port, enable firewall
firewall_rule 'ssh' do
  port     22
  action   :allow
  notifies :enable, 'firewall[ufw]'
end

# open standard http port to tcp traffic only; insert as first rule
firewall_rule 'http' do
  port     80
  protocol :tcp
  position 1
  action   :allow
end

# restrict port 13579 to 10.0.111.0/24 on eth0
firewall_rule 'myapplication' do
  port      13579
  source    '10.0.111.0/24'
  direction :in
  interface 'eth0'
  action    :allow
end

# open UDP ports 60000..61000 for mobile shell (mosh.mit.edu), note
# that the protocol attribute is required when using port_range
firewall_rule 'mosh' do
  protocol   :udp
  port       60000..61000
  action     :allow
end

# open multiple ports for http/https, note that the protocol
# attribute is required when using ports
firewall_rule 'http/https' do
  protocol :tcp
  port     [80, 443]
  action   :allow
end

firewall 'ufw' do
  action :nothing
end

Development

This section details "quick development" steps. For a detailed explanation, see [[Contributing.md]].

  1. Clone this repository from GitHub:

     $ git clone git@github.com:opscode-cookbooks/firewall.git

  2. Create a git branch

     $ git checkout -b my_bug_fix

  3. Install dependencies:

     $ bundle install

  4. Make your changes/patches/fixes, committing appropiately

  5. Write tests

  6. Run the tests:

    • bundle exec foodcritic -f any .
    • bundle exec rspec
    • bundle exec rubocop
    • bundle exec kitchen test

In detail: - Foodcritic will catch any Chef-specific style errors - RSpec will run the unit tests - Rubocop will check for Ruby-specific style errors - Test Kitchen will run and converge the recipes
