  1. Firewall Lab Zutao Zhu 02/05/2010

  2. Outline • Preliminaries • getopt • LKM • /proc filesystem • Netfilter

  3. Manual Page Package • apt-get install manpages-dev manpages-posix manpages-posix-dev

  4. Header Files • /usr/include/linux • /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.xx-yy/include/linux • ip.h, icmp.h, tcp.h, skbuff.h, … • Find out the header files for a function by using man

  5. Byte Order • http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/html_node/Byte-Order.html • Different kinds of computers use different conventions for the ordering of bytes within a word. Some computers put the most significant byte within a word first (this is called “big-endian” order), and others put it last (“little-endian” order).

  6. Byte Order • The Internet protocols specify a canonical byte order convention for data transmitted over the network. This is known as network byte order.

  7. Functions • htonl – unsigned integerfrom host byte order to network byte order • htons – unsigned short from host byte order to network byte order • ntohl – unsigned integer from network byte order to host byte order • ntohs - unsigned short from network byte order to host byte order

  8. Vim hints • Use telnet or ssh to login to your ubuntu • Before paste, run command :set nocindent

  9. getopt • http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/html_node/Getopt.html • header file <unistd.h> • int getopt (int argc, char **argv, const char *options) • c = getopt (argc, argv, "abc:")) • An option character in this string can be followed by a colon (‘:’) to indicate that it takes a required argument.

  10. getopt • optarg - point at the value of the option argument • Get long options • struct option long_options[] • c = getopt_long (argc, argv, "abc:d:f:", long_options, &option_index);

  11. /proc • many elements of the kernel use /proc both to report information and to enable dynamic runtime configuration • A virtual file can present information from the kernel to the user and also serve as a means of sending information from the user to the kernel. • We can read from or write to a virtual file.

  12. /proc virtual filesystem • Use “cat” to read, use “echo” to write, or by calling read()/write() • struct proc_dir_entry • proc_entry->read_proc = fortune_read; • proc_entry->write_proc = fortune_write; • create_proc_entry() • copy_from_user () • remove_proc_entry()

  13. Loadable Kernel Modules • LKMs (when loaded) are very much part of the kernel. • How to insert: insmod • How to remove: rmmod • How to list: lsmod • How to check: modinfo • How to display output: dmesg

  14. How LKM works? • insmod makes an init_module system call to load the LKM into kernel memory. • In init_module(), you can create device file or proc virtual file, setup the read or write function for the proc virtual file. • rmmodmakes an cleanup_module system call to do the cleanup work. • /usr/src/linux-2.6.31/kernel/module.c

  15. How to write a LKM? • http://www.linuxforums.org/articles/introducing-lkm-programming-part-i_110.html

  16. LKM example • Hello world in lab pdf • http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Module-HOWTO/x839.html • The following slides are modified based on http://www.cs.usfca.edu/~cruse/cs635/lesson02.ppt

  17. Our module’s organization get_info The module’s ‘payload’ function module_init The module’s two required administrative functions module_exit

  18. The ‘get_info()’ callback • When an application-program (like ‘mycat’) tries to read our pseudo-file, the kernel will call our ‘get_info()’ function, passing it four function arguments -- and will expect it to return an integer value: int get_info( char *buf, char **start, off_t off, int count, int *eof, void *data ); pointer to a kernel buffer pointer (optional) to module’ own buffer current file-pointer offset size of space available in the kernel’s buffer function should return the number of bytes it has written into its buffer

  19. The ‘sprintf()’ function • The kernel provides a function you module can call to print formatted text into a buffer • It resembles a standard C library-function: int sprintf( char *dstn, const char *fmt, <arguments> ); pointer to destination formatting specification string list of the argument-values to format will return the number of characters that were printed to the destination-buffer int len = sprintf( buf, “count = %d \n”, count ); Example:

  20. register/unregister • Your module-initialization function should ‘register’ the module’s ‘get_info()’ function: create_proc_info_entry( modname, 0, NULL); • Your cleanup should do an ‘unregister’: remove_proc_entry( modname, NULL ); the name for your proc file the file-access attributes (0=default) directory where file will reside (NULL=default) function-pointer to your module’s ‘callback’ routine directory file’s name

  21. Makefile for LKM • obj-m += fortune.oall:       make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modulesclean:       make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean

  22. Utilities for LKM • modinfo simple-lkm.ko • dmesg | tail -10 • Check the output of the module • http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Module-HOWTO/x146.html

  23. Netfilter

  24. Netfilter • NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING [1] • NF_IP_LOCAL_IN [2] • NF_IP_FORWARD [3] • NF_IP_POST_ROUTING [4] • NF_IP_LOCAL_OUT [5] • http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO//netfilter-hacking-HOWTO-3.html

  25. When to hook?

  26. Netfilter does • NF_ACCEPT: continue traversal as normal. • NF_DROP: drop the packet; don't continue traversal. • NF_STOLEN: I've taken over the packet; don't continue traversal. • NF_QUEUE: queue the packet (usually for userspace handling). • NF_REPEAT: call this hook again.

  27. structure • struct sk_buff in skbuff.h • struct nf_hook_ops in netfilter.h • typedef unsigned int nf_hookfn( unsigned int hooknum, struct sk_buff *skb, const struct net_device *in, const struct net_device *out, int (*okfn)(struct sk_buff *));

  28. example • http://www.paulkiddie.com/2009/11/creating-a-netfilter-kernel-module-which-filters-udp-packets/

  29. Misc • Install kernel-source • apt-get install kernel-source • Extract kernel-source • tar -jxvf filename.tar.bz2 • make oldconfig && make prepare && make modules_prepare • apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
