PacketShield

Contexts

With PacketShield, context is identified by the destination of an incoming packet.

For each incoming packet, a lookup on available contexts in the instance is performed:

  • If a context is found (by matching the packet’s destination IP and an optional VLAN tag), then the rules of the context will be applied to this packet.
  • If the packet does not match any context, then the default context Other applies.

Creating an instance automatically creates the default context named Other which contains the policy used for packets which do not match any other created context.

Info

PacketShield is currently limited to 512 custom IPv4 contexts per instance.

PacketShield currently supports the following context identifiers:

  • IPv4 address
  • IPV4 suffixed by the “at” character (@) and a VLAN id

Info

In order to match the VLAN ID, the packet must be tagged when it arrives in HAProxy ALOHA.

Info

After making changes using the GUI, make the changes persist after a reboot by going to the Setup tab and clicking Save within the Configuration section. After making changes using the CLI, execute config save to persist the changes.

Use sysfs entry Jump to heading

You manage a context using the sysfs entry:

/sys/packetshield/<instance name>/contexts.
/sys/packetshield/<instance name>/contexts.

Create a context Jump to heading

The create operation also creates a new sysfs directory using the context identifier as name in:

/sys/packetshield/<instance name>/<context id>.
/sys/packetshield/<instance name>/<context id>.

A newly created context does not inherit the configuration from the default Other context.

sysfs Jump to heading

Write the context identifier, prefixed by the the plus sign character (+) in the sysfs entry.

Example: Create a context for the IP address 1.2.3.5:

nix
echo "+10.2.3.5" > /sys/packetshield/myinst/contexts
nix
echo "+10.2.3.5" > /sys/packetshield/myinst/contexts

Example: Create a context for the IP address 1.2.3.5 in the tagged VLAN 100:

nix
echo "+10.2.3.5@100" > /sys/packetshield/myinst/contexts
nix
echo "+10.2.3.5@100" > /sys/packetshield/myinst/contexts

GUI Jump to heading

Use the statement <instance name>/contexts followed by the context identifier.

Example: Create a context for the IP address 1.2.3.5:

myinst/contexts 10.2.3.5
myinst/contexts 10.2.3.5

Example: Create a context for the IP address 1.2.3.5 in the tagged vlan 100:

myinst/contexts 10.2.3.5@100
myinst/contexts 10.2.3.5@100

Destroy a context Jump to heading

This operation also deletes the sysfs directory /sys/packetshield/<instance name>/<context id>.

sysfs Jump to heading

Write the context identifier, prefixed by the minus sign character (-) in the sysfs entry.

Example: Destroy the context for the IP address 1.2.3.5:

nix
echo "-10.2.3.5" > /sys/packetshield/myinst/contexts
nix
echo "-10.2.3.5" > /sys/packetshield/myinst/contexts

Example: Destroy the context for the IP address 1.2.3.5 in the tagged VLAN 100:

nix
echo "-10.2.3.5@100" > /sys/packetshield/myinst/contexts
nix
echo "-10.2.3.5@100" > /sys/packetshield/myinst/contexts

GUI Jump to heading

Remove the statement <instance name>/contexts <context id> that matches the context you want to remove.

List contexts Jump to heading

This function is only available through the CLI.

To list existing contexts, open the contents of the sysfs entry /sys/packetshield/<instance name>/contexts.

One context identifier is displayed per line.

Although not listed, the context Other exists.

Example:

nix
cat /sys/packetshield/myinst/contexts
nix
cat /sys/packetshield/myinst/contexts
output
text
10.2.3.5
10.2.3.5@100

Optional: You can replace country codes with your own IP ranges or define your own non-standard codes. Enclose them in braces ({ }) and submit using awk.

  • Changes made in braces using this method occur as an atomic change to the geoip4/geoip6 database residing at the instance level.
  • Each entry in the list defines a single code. The code covers all IP addresses from the one specified in the entry up to but not including the next IP address in the list.

Example: The following file represents two ranges:

  • Code US includes all IP addresses from 1.2.3.0 to 1.2.3.8.
  • Code CA includes 1.2.3.9.
nix
cat mybase.4
nix
cat mybase.4
output
text
1.2.3.0 US
1.2.3.9 CA
output
text
1.2.3.0 US
1.2.3.9 CA

Example: The following command line submits the mybase.4 entries in a single atomic operation.

nix
awk 'BEGIN { print "{" ; fflush(); } { print $0; fflush(); } \
END { print "}"; fflush();}' \
mybase.4 > /sys/packetshield/myinst/Other/geoip4

Context capture Jump to heading

The sysfs entry /sys/packetshield/<instance>/context_capture.map provides the interface to retrieve a context’s packet capture. A read operation on this sysfs entry returns the size of packets captured available in a memory slot (4 bytes). An mmap on the same file descriptor using this size provide direct access (via pointer) to a full slot. This slot is split into chunks. A chunk provides packets captured on the same context.

Chunk header format:

Info

PacketShield v2 uses a limited number of recycled memory slots to capture packets. If the reader is not fast enough, all slots will be used and some packets will not be captured.
