The document discusses Linux firewalls and the iptables software. It provides information on how iptables organizes rules into tables and chains and describes some common iptables commands. The key points are:
- Iptables is a net filter software that controls inbound and outbound traffic through rules organized in tables (filter, nat, mangle) and chains.
- Common commands include iptables -L to list rules, iptables -A to append rules, and iptables -F to flush/delete all rules.
- Examples are given of iptables rules to block ping requests between machines and restrict the Ubuntu machine's access to Facebook.
Computers are connected in a network to exchange information or resources with each other. Two or more computer are connected through network media called computer media.
There are a number of network devices or media that are involved to form computer network.
Computer loaded with Linux Operation System can also be a part of network whether it is a small or large network by multitasking and multi user natures.
Maintaining of system and network up and running is a task of System / Network Administrator’s job. In this article we are going to review frequently used network configuration and troubleshoot commands in Linux.

A firewall is a software utility or hardware device that acts as a filter for data entering or leaving a network or computer. You could think of a firewall as a security guard that decides who enters or exits a building. A firewall works by blocking or restricting network ports. Firewalls are commonly used to help prevent unauthorized access to both company and home networks.

The basic firewall software used in Linux is called iptables .
IPtables is a command-line firewall utility that uses policy chains to allow or block traffic. When a connection tries to establish itself on your system, iptables looks for a rule in its list to match it to. If it doesn’t find one, it resorts to the default action.
We can call, it’s the basics of Firewall for Linux. Iptables is a rule based firewall system and it is normally pre-installed on a Unix operating system which is controlling the incoming and outgoing packets. By-default the iptables is running without any rules, we can create, add, edit rules into it.
The Linux kernel has the built-in ability to filter packets, allowing some of them into the system while stopping others.
>Basic structure of IP Tables
The default structure of iptables is like:
“Tables which has Chains and the Chains which contains Rules”
Tables —> Chains —> Rules.
>Rules in IP Tables
>Targets in IP Tables
>Types of IP Tables in Linux:
The three built-in tables with chains of rules. They are as follows:
Filter :The default table for handling network packets.
NAT : Used to alter packets that create a new connection.
Mangle : Used for specific types of packet alteration.

1. Linux Firewalls (Ubuntu IPTables)
Introduction
Linux Firewalls is the way to make our Linux OS more secure and safe because it enables you to
control your connection ports and your inbound and outbound traffic. To control this inbound and
outbound traffic, Linux OS uses a software called iptables. IPTables is actually a net filter software
which is integrated with the kernel implementation, it also provides filtering features that can filter
the inbound and outbound in routed traffics to our computer system.
IPTables Organization
The iptables organizes its information in tables, each tables consists of number of chains and each
chain consists of many rules, these rules are responsible for controlling the system traffic. Each
Chain has a default taken action called chain default policy and it used when there is no rule created
for a specified service or traffic.
Main IPTabels
1. filter table is the default table.
2. nat table is used to tell the kernel what connections to change and how to change them.
3. mangle table is mainly used for mangling packets.
2. IPTables Useful Commands
$dpkg-query -l iptables used for listing the packages that matches iptables.
$dpkg-query -s iptables used for recognizing the status of the iptable packages.
$dpkg-query -L iptables used for listing the files and libraries that related to the iptables.
$iptables -h used for getting the iptables help.
$iptables -L used for listing the table chains and the rules of each chain, to specify a
certain table use -t followed by the name of the table.
$iptable -A used to Append a rule to a certain chain.
$iptables -I used for Inserting a rule in a location not only adding it to the
tail of the chain of rules.
$iptable -D used for deleting a rule from a chain in a table.
$iptable -F used for flushing all rules of a chain.
$iptable-save used for saving all current rules and chains of the system in a file.
$iptable-restore used for restoring saved rules from a file.
To open the console in Ubuntu just click as shown
3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dpkg
dpkg is the software at the base of the Debian package management system. dpkg is used to install,
remove, and provide information about .deb packages. dpkg itself is a low level tool; higher level
tools, such as APT, are used to fetch packages from remote locations or deal with complex package
relations. The Debian package "dpkg" provides the dpkg program, as well as several other programs
necessary for run-time functioning of the packaging system.
http://man.he.net/man1/dpkg-query
dpkg-query is a tool to show information about packages listed in the dpkg database.
Options 1
-l, --list package-name-pattern
List packages matching given pattern.
Here we choose the package iptables.
4. Options 2
-s, --status package-name
Report status of specified package.
Here we choose the package iptables.
5. Options 3
-L, --listfiles package-name
List files installed to your system from package-name.
Here we choose the package iptables.
6. http://man.he.net/?topic=iptables§ion=all
iptables is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the tables of IP packet filter rules in the
Linux kernel. Each rule can match a set of packets and specify what to do with a packet that
matches.
Options 1
-h, --help
To receive command help.
7. Options 2
-L, --list -t table-name
List all chains in the selected table. If no table is selected, like every other iptables
command, it applies to the specified table (filter is the default).
8. Scenario
We will use the VirtualBox as our virtual machine to create two guest machines (Ubuntu and
PCLinux) both of them with network card configured with the virtual LAN that installed by the
VirtualBox.
9. while Ubuntu machine has another network card configured with NATing to be certain that it will
have an Internet connection from the host machine.
10. We have to be certain all the three machines are in the same LAN
PCLinux Machine with one Network Card Named eth0 for Virtual LAN
11. Ubuntu Machine with Network Card called eth0 for NATing
and another Network Card called eth1 for Virtual LAN
12. Host Machine with a lot of Network Cards
One is called Virtual Box Host-Only Adapter for Virtual LAN
13. Filter Table (INPUT & OUTPUT Chains)
Example#1
Write a firewall rule to prevent pinging the Ubuntu machine from the PCLinux machine.
Now PCLinux Machine can ping Ubuntu Machine
14. Now if we just write the shown command, it will prevent the PCLinux Machine from pinging the
Ubuntu Machine
$sudo iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -s 192.168.56.103 -d 0/0 -j DROP
sudo To take the root privilege.
iptables To start using the iptables.
-A INPUT To add a rule to a specified chain, here we specify the INPUT chain.
(as no table specified we deal with the default table which is the filter table).
-p icmp To specify the used protocol, here we specify the ICMP Protocol
--icmp-type
echo-request
To specify the ICMP type, here we choose the ping (echo-request).
This is option can be used only if we choose icmp as our protocol.
-s 192.168.56.103 To specify the source, here we specify the PCLinux IP
-d 0/0 To specify the destination, here we choose 0/0 which mean all hosts IPs.
-j DROP To specify the Target Action, here we choose DROP Action.
15. Now as shown the PCLinux Machine ping but no answer
17. Example#2
Write a firewall rule to prevent the Ubuntu Machine from pinging any other computer on the
network.
$sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -s 0/0 -d 0/0 -j DROP
18. Example#3
Write a firewall rule to prevent the Ubuntu Machine from opening the facebook
$sude iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 -d www.facebook.com --dport 80 -j DROP
19. After adding the rule, the Ubuntu Machine can't access the facebook website while other websites
are aavailable like google.com.
20. Example#4
Delete the firewall rule that we used in Example#1
$sudo iptables -D INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -s 192.168.56.103 -d 0/0 -j DROP
It is the same like adding except using -D instead of -A
21. Exercise#1
Write a firewall rule to prevent the Ubuntu Machine from opening any website.
Exercise#2
Write firewall rules to prevent any client except the PCLinux Machine from accessing the web
server on the Ubuntu Machine.
