Development repository for Opscode Cookbook firewall

Description

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

Tested on:

• Ubuntu 10.04
• Ubuntu 11.04
• Ubuntu 11.10
• Debian 7.0

Resources/Providers

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.

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.

Providers

• Chef::Provider::FirewallUfw
  • platform default: Ubuntu

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.

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)
• ports: array of incoming port numbers (ie. [80,443] to allow inbound HTTP & HTTPS). NOTE: protocol attribute is required with ports
• port_range: range of incoming port numbers (ie. 60000..61000 to allow inbound mobile-shell. NOTE: protocol attribute is required with port_range
• 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.

Providers

• Chef::Provider::FirewallRuleUfw
  • platform default: Ubuntu

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_range 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
  ports [ 80, 443 ]
  action :allow
end

firewall "ufw" do
  action :nothing
end
