Hi everyone,
I was wanting to use psd matching module in IPTables to catch portscanners. Is there a gentoo kernel that has the necessary patches/etc applied? If not, how did you install the module? ATM I am using the plain gentto-sources kernel.
Thanks guys.
Martin

i found this, hope this could help ya

Code:

# iptables -m psd -h
--psd-weight-threshold threshhold Portscan detection weight threshold

--psd-delay-threshold delay Portscan detection delay threshold

--psd-lo-ports-weight lo Privileged ports weight

--psd-hi-ports-weight hi High ports weight
[/code]

Thanks, flyinspirit001
I tried your suggestion and received the response...

Code:
#iptables -m psd -h
iptables v1.2.9: Couldn't load match `psd':/lib/iptables/libipt_psd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I did not notice any psd module options in the kernel either. I saw somewhere (please don't ask where!) that you need to apply a patch to the kernel. I was hoping that there was possibly a gentoo kernel (server one maybe?) that has the patch (if it is indeed a patch) applied already. Save me doing the hard work...
Cheers, Martin

here it is:

PSD kernel patch


Code:

Status: Experimental   


This option adds a `psd' match, which supplies portscan
detection match (psd). This match will attempt to detect TCP and UDP
port scans. This match was derived from Solar Designer's scanlogd.

Suppported options are:

--psd-weight-threshold <threshold>

  Total weight of the latest TCP/UDP packets with different
  destination ports coming from the same host to be treated as port
  scan sequence.

--psd-delay-threshold <delay>

  Delay (in hundredths of second) for the packets with different
  destination ports coming from the same host to be treated as
  possible port scan subsequence.

--psd-lo-ports-weight <weight>

  Weight of the packet with privileged (<=1024) destination port.

--psd-hi-ports-weight <weight>

  Weight of the packet with non-priviliged destination port.


Try it .... and make me know how it works , i'm really interested :)

bye

OK, I have applied the kernel patch from www.netfilter.org (patch-o-matic-ng). This POM requires the source for iptables, so I copied my iptables source distfile from /usr/portage/distfiles to /tmp then extracted it. I then pointed POM to it when asked. After selecting the PSD patch to be applied I then did "make oldconfig" and selected the psd kernel option as a module (CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_PSD) then recompiled the kernel. After this iptables needs to be re-compiled... emerge iptables. Now things are sweet.
Cheers, Martin. :lol:
