Firewall Rule Editors and Testing

Firewalls are only as good as the configuration given them by the administrator.  Rule order, precedence, and options all affect the performance and security of a firewall.  There are many applications available that will allow easier management of firewall rules.  This page includes text and GUI interfaces to text-based rule firewalls, or applications that manage rule sets across multiple platforms.  This page also lists firewall rule testing software and websites..

Knetfilter

 

venom@sns.it

http://venom.oltrelinux.com/

Knetfilter is a KDE application designed to manage the netfilter functionalities that come with the kernels 2.4 and later.
In Princip, all standard firewall system administration activities can be done just using knetfilter. But there is not just a GUI to iptables comand line, it is possible also some monitoring with tcpdump and nmap (nmap is slow) interfaces.

Now knetfilter is able to save iptables rules indipendently from iptable-save command (that does not work). ALL Chain policies are saved. (knetfilter has been the first GUI/application running with Linux 2.4.X able to save and restore your work on your firewall, at less for what I know :) )

Firewall Leak Tester (website)

 

Guillaume Kaddouch (gkweb)

http://www.firewallleaktester.com

What is 'Firewall Leak Tester' ?
This website, on one hand, enables you to test your software personal firewall thanks to different test programs ('leaktests'), and on the other hand, shows a global vulnerabilities view of the most common personal firewalls in a summary page.

Firewall Leak Tester provides also documentation and advices to improve your security dramatically.

What Firewall Leak Tester is testing ?
Nowadays, threats from the Internet are growing, both from the inside and the outside.
To answer to a security need from Internet users (us), security software firms have created "personal firewalls", softwares acting like real hardware firewalls, but on user's computers. These personal firewalls have network level filtering, that we will name "network filtering", and an outbound application filtering that we will name "software filtering".

Due to the fact that most of these personal firewalls offer reasonable protection against inbound attacks coming from the Internet, we will only study here their software filtering, outbound filtering that can be stressed by Trojans which try to initiate themselves by connecting to the outside to transmit data out.

To test this software filtering feature, many leaktests (""leak"" test) exist, they are programs created by different authors, each trying to bypass the personal firewalls with his own trick.

FireHOL

 

Costa Tsaousis

http://firehol.sourceforge.net

FireHOL is an iptables firewall generator producing stateful iptables packet filtering firewalls, on Linux hosts and routers with any number of network interfaces, any number of routes, any number of services served, any number of complexity between variations of the services (including positive and negative expressions).

FireHOL is a language to express firewalling rules, not just a script that produces some kind of a firewall.

The goals of FireHOL are:
* Make firewalling an easy, straight forward task for everyone, independently of the security skills he/she has. FireHOL configuration files are very easy to type and read. To understand a complex firewall you will need just a few seconds.
* Be as secure as possible by allowing explicitly only the wanted traffic to flow. FireHOL produces stateful rules for any service or protocol, in both directions of the firewall.
* Be a resource of knowledge around services and their peculiarities, as far as firewalling is concerned.
* Be open enough for any firewalling need. Although FireHOL is pre-configured for a large number of services, you can configure any service you like and FireHOL will turn it into a client, a server, or a router.
* Be flexible enough to be used by end users and guru administrators requiring extremely complex firewalls. FireHOL configuration files are BASH scripts; you can write in them anything BASH accepts, including variables, pipes, loops, conditions, calls to external programs, run other BASH scripts with FireHOL directives in them, etc.
* Be simple to install on any modern Linux system; only one file is required, no compilations involved.

FA - Firewall Analyzer

 

Algorithmic Security Inc.

http://www.algosec.com

The manual audit of a firewall policy is a very subjective and laborious process which is dependent on the user’s skill set and experience. The AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer (FA) automatically and non-intrusively analyzes a firewall’s policy. Within a matter of minutes, it identifies rules that cause security holes and offers detailed guidance about how to close them. FA flags rule errors that would otherwise go unnoticed and exposes risks hidden deep within the corporate firewall policy. The vulnerabilities that FA reveals allow you to make sure that there are no “hidden” or unknown risks embedded in the corporate firewall policy. FA offers peace of mind to IS managers regarding their firewall policy.

Dr. Morena

 

SecurityFriday Co. Ltd.

http://www.securityfriday.com

Dr.Morena is a tool to confirm the rule configuration of a Firewall.

The configuration of a Firewall is done by combining more than one rule. Sometimes a rule configuration may reside in a place other than the basic rule configuration place. In such a case, it is difficult to confirm whether it is an intended configuration by the system administrators. (Is an unnecessary hole open, or is a necessary hole open?) So, we developed a tool which checks the rule of a Firewall.

We prepare a computer which has two network interface for this tool. Then, each network interface is connected to each of the network interfaces on both sides of the Firewall. The packet the source IP address and the destination IP address is forged and sent to the Firewall from one network interface. The packet which passed through the Firewall is confirmed in the other network interface. The rule of the Firewall is confirmed from the packets which passed through the Firewall, and the packets which didn't pass.

This tool can check the rules without depending on the way of the Firewall is configures.

PC Flank

 

PC Flank Ltd.

http://www.pcflank.com

You can easily test your system for vulnerabilities to Internet threats with our on-line tests. PC Flank's testing facilities consist of six on-line tests: Quick Test, Advanced Port Scanner, Stealth Test, Browser Test, Trojans Test and Exploits Test. As a rule each test takes no more than 3 minutes depending on the speed of your Internet connection.

Here are the descriptions of each test:
Quick test - This test shows how vulnerable your computer is to various Internet threats. The test also determines if a Trojan horse already infects your system and if your Web browser reveals personal info about you or your computer while you're web surfing. This test is a combined version of Advanced Port Scanner, Browser Test and Trojans Test. The test take less than three minutes. Afterwards you will see a full report including recommendations on how to improve the security of your system. This test is recommended to rookie users and users who do not have enough time to pass all the tests.
Stealth Test - With the help of the Stealth test you can determine if your computer is visible to the others on the Internet. You can also use this test to determine if your firewall is successful in making ports of your system stealthed. To determine if your computer is visible on the Internet the Stealth test utilizes five scanning techniques: TCP ping, TCP NULL, TCP FIN, TCP XMAS and UDP scanning.
Browser Test - This test will check if your browser reveals any of your personal information. This might be the sites you have visited, the region you live in, who your Internet Service Provider is, etc. The test will recommend specific settings of your browser for you to change.
Trojans Test - This test will scan your system for most dangerous and widespread Trojan horses. If a Trojan is found on your computer the test recommends actions to take.
Advanced Port Scanner - The Advanced Port Scanner will test your system for open ports that can be used in attacks on your computer. You can select which scanning technique will be used during the test: TCP connect scanning (standard) or TCP SYN scanning. You can also select what ports of your system you want to scan: desired ports or range of ports, typical vulnerable and Trojan ports, 20 random ports or All ports. This test is recommended to experienced users.
Exploits Test - This test will detect how vulnerable your computer is to exploits attacks. This test can be also used to test firewalls and routers for stability and reactions to unexpected packets. Most of the exploits are in fact denial-of-service attacks and if your system is unable to pass this examination it may crash or reboot.

We recommend 3 main routes of passing PC Flank's tests. These are "Rookie", "Advanced" and "Rush".

Rookie: This route is recommended to rookie users. Start from Quick Test, then run your system through Stealth Test and finish with Trojans Test to scan your system for most dangerous and widespread Trojan horses.
Advanced: This route is recommended to experienced users. Start from Advanced Port Scanner and scan the ports you want to check, then examine your firewall with Stealth Test, then check your browser' privacy with Browser Test and finish with sophisticated denial-of-service attacks of Exploits Test.
Rush: This route is recommended to users who do not have enough time to pass all the tests. Start testing your sytem from Quick Test and then examine your firewall with Stealth Test.

FTester

 

Andrea

http://dev.inversepath.com/trac/ftester

The Firewall Tester (FTester) is a tool designed for testing firewalls filtering policies and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) capabilities. The tool consists of two perl scripts, a packet injector (ftest) and the listening sniffer (ftestd). The first script injects custom packets, defined in ftest.conf, with a signature in the data part while the sniffer listens for such marked packets. The scripts both write a log file which is in the same form for both scripts. A diff of the two produced files (ftest.log and ftestd.log) shows the packets that were unable to reach the sniffer due to filtering rules if these two scripts are ran on hosts placed on two different sides of a firewall. Stateful inspection firewalls are handled with the 'connection spoofing' option. A script called freport is also available for automatically parse the log files.

Of course this is not an automated process, ftest.conf must be crafted for every different situation. Examples and rules are included in the attached configuration file.

The IDS (Intrusion Detection System) testing feature can be used either with ftest only or with the additional support of ftestd for handling stateful inspection IDS, ftest can also use common IDS evasion techniques. Instead of using the configuration syntax currently the script can also process snort rule definition file.

These two scripts were written because I was tired of doing this by hand (with packet-crafting tools and tcpdump), I know that there are at least two dozens of other methods to do this but another reason was to learn some perl ;). I hope that you enjoy them.

Features:
- firewall testing
- IDS testing
- simulation of real tcp connections for stateful inspection firewalls and IDS
- connection spoofing
- IP fragmentation / TCP segmentation
- IDS evasion techniques
