The rulesets themselves can be loaded, viewed, and modified via the .Xr ipsecctl 8 userland utility. .Sh MACROS Much like .Xr cpp 1 or .Xr m4 1 , macros can be defined that will later be expanded in context. Macro names must start with a letter, and may contain letters, digits and underscores. Macro names may not be reserved words (for example .Ic flow , .Ic from , .Ic esp ) . Macros are not expanded inside quotes. .Pp For example, .Bd -literal -offset indent remote_gw = \&"192.168.3.12\&" flow esp from 192.168.7.0/24 to 192.168.8.0/24 peer $remote_gw .Ed .Sh FLOWS IPsec uses .Em flows to determine whether to apply security services to an IP packet or not. The following security services are available: .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ic flow esp ESP can provide the following properties: authentication, integrity, replay protection, and confidentiality of the data. .It Ic flow ah AH provides authentication, integrity, and replay protection, but no confidentiality. .It Ic flow ipip IPIP provides neither authentication, integrity, replay protection, nor confidentiality. However, it allows you to tunnel IP traffic over IP, without setting up .Xr gif 4 interfaces. .El .Pp For details on ESP and AH see .Xr ipsec 4 . When no service is specified, .Xr ipsecctl 8 will use ESP. The settings for the security services have to be negotiated by .Xr isakmpd 8 . As soon as a packet matches a flow, .Xr isakmpd 8 automatically starts the negotiation. See .Xr isakmpd 8 for details. .Pp Parameters specify the packets to which a flow applies. Some parameters are optional. .Pp Addresses can be specified in CIDR notation (matching netblocks), as symbolic host names, interface names or interface group names. .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ic in No or Ic out This rule applies to incoming or outgoing packets. If neither .Ic in nor .Ic out are specified, .Xr ipsecctl 8 will assume the direction .Ic out for this rule and will construct a proper .Ic in rule. Thus packets in both directions will be matched. .It Ic proto Aq Ar protocol The optional .Ic proto parameter restricts the flow to a specific IP protocol. Common protocols are .Xr icmp 4 , .Xr tcp 4 , and .Xr udp 4 . For a list of all the protocol name to number mappings used by .Xr ipsecctl 8 , see the file .Pa /etc/protocols . .It Xo .Ic from .Aq Ar src .Ic port .Aq Ar sport .Ic to .Aq Ar dst .Ic port .Aq Ar dport .Xc This rule applies for packets with source address .Aq Ar src and destination address .Aq Ar dst . The keyword .Ar any will match any address (i.e. 0.0.0.0/0). The optional .Ic port modifiers restrict the flows to the specified ports. They are only valid in conjunction with the .Xr tcp 4 and .Xr udp 4 protocols. Ports can be specified by number or by name. For a list of all port name to number mappings used by .Xr ipsecctl 8 , see the file .Pa /etc/services . .It Ic local Aq Ar localip The .Ic local parameter specifies the address or FQDN of the local endpoint of this flow and can be usually left out. .It Ic peer Aq Ar remote The .Ic peer parameter specifies the address or FQDN of the remote endpoint of this flow. For host-to-host connections where .Aq Ar dst is identical to .Aq Ar remote , the .Ic peer specification can be left out. .It Ic type Aq Ar modifier This optional parameter sets up special flows using the modifiers .Ar require , .Ar use , .Ar acquire , .Ar dontacq , .Ar bypass or .Ar deny . A bypass flow is used to specify a flow for which security processing will be bypassed: matching packets will not be processed by any other flows and handled in normal operation. A deny flow is used to drop any matching packets. By default, .Xr ipsecctl 8 will automatically set up normal flows with the corresponding type. .El .Sh IPSEC SAs The security parameters for a .Ar flow are stored in the Security Association Database (SADB). The following rules enter SAs in the SADB: .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact .It Ic esp Enter an ESP SA. .It Ic ah Enter an AH SA. .It Ic ipcomp Enter an IPCOMP SA. .It Ic ipip Enter an IPIP pseudo SA. .El .Pp Parameters specify the peers, Security Parameter Index (SPI), cryptographic transforms, and key material to be used. .Pp Addresses can be specified in CIDR notation (matching netblocks), as symbolic host names, interface names or interface group names. .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Xo .Aq Ar mode .Xc For .Ic esp , .Ic ah , and .Ic ipcomp the encapsulation mode to be used can be specified. Possible modes are .Ar tunnel and .Ar transport . When left out, .Ar tunnel is chosen. For details on modes see .Xr ipsec 4 . .It Xo .Ic from .Aq Ar src .Ic to .Aq Ar dst .Xc This SA is for a .Ar flow between the peers .Aq Ar src and .Aq Ar dst . .It Xo .Ic spi .Aq Ar number .Xc The SPI identifies a specific SA. .Ar number is a 32-bit value and needs to be unique. .It Xo .Ic auth .Aq Ar algorithm .Xc For both .Ic esp and .Ic ah an authentication algorithm can be specified. Possible algorithms are .Ar hmac-md5 , .Ar hmac-ripemd160 , .Ar hmac-sha1 , .Ar hmac-sha2-256 , .Ar hmac-sha2-384 , and .Ar hmac-sha2-512 . .Pp If no algorithm is specified, .Xr ipsecctl 8 will choose .Ar hmac-sha2-256 by default. .It Xo .Ic comp .Aq Ar algorithm .Xc The compression algorithm to be used. Possible algorithms are .Ar deflate and .Ar lzs . Note that .Ar lzs is only available with .Xr hifn 4 because of the patent held by Hifn, Inc. .It Xo .Ic enc .Aq Ar algorithm .Xc For .Ic esp an encryption algorithm needs to be specified. Possible algorithms are .Ar 3des-cbc , .Ar des-cbc , .Ar aes , .Ar aesctr , .Ar blowfish , .Ar cast128 , .Ar null , and .Ar skipjack . .Pp If no algorithm is specified, .Xr ipsecctl 8 will choose .Ar aes by default. .It Xo .Ic authkey .Aq Ar keyspec .Xc .Ar keyspec defines the authentication key to be used. It is either a hexadecimal string or a path to a file containing the key. The filename may be given as either an absolute path to the file or a relative pathname, and is specified as follows: .Bd -literal -offset -indent authkey file "filename" .Ed .It Xo .Ic enckey .Aq Ar keyspec .Xc The encryption key is defined similar to .Ar authkey . .El .Pp It is very important that keys are not guessable. One practical way of generating 160-bit (20-byte) keys is a follows: .Bd -literal -offset indent $ openssl rand 20 | hexdump -e '20/1 "%02x"' .Ed .Pp For .Ic spi , .Ic authkey , and .Ic enckey , it is possible to specify two colon separated values. .Xr ipsecctl 8 will then generate the matching incoming SA using the second values for .Ic spi , .Ic authkey , and .Ic enckey . .Sh AUTOMATIC KEYING USING ISAKMP/IKE Rules can also specify IPsec flows and SAs to be established automatically by .Xr isakmpd 8 . This is accomplished by the following rule: .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ic ike esp Creates an IPsec tunnel using ESP. .El .Pp Note that AH is not yet supported. See .Xr isakmpd 8 for details on ISAKMP/IKE. .Pp Parameters specify the packets that will go through the tunnel and which cryptographic transforms are used for .Xr isakmpd 8 . Some parameters are optional. .Pp Addresses can be specified in CIDR notation (matching netblocks), as symbolic host names, interface names or interface group names. .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Xo .Ic ike .Aq Ar mode .Ic esp .Xc When .Ar passive is specified, .Xr isakmpd 8 will not immediately start negotiation of this tunnel, but wait for an incoming request from the remote peer. When .Ar active or .Ar dynamic is specified, negotiation will be started at once. The .Ar dynamic mode will additionally enable Dead Peer Detection (DPD) and use the local hostname as the identity of the local peer, if not specified by the .Ar srcid parameter. .Ar dynamic mode should be used for hosts with dynamic IP addresses like road warriors or dialup hosts. If omitted, .Ar active mode will be used. .It Xo .Aq Ar tmode .Xc The encapsulation mode to be used can be specified. Possible modes are .Ar tunnel and .Ar transport . When left out, .Ar tunnel is chosen. For details on modes see .Xr ipsec 4 . .It Ic proto Aq Ar protocol The optional .Ic proto parameter restricts the flow to a specific IP protocol. Common protocols are .Xr icmp 4 , .Xr tcp 4 , and .Xr udp 4 . For a list of all the protocol name to number mappings used by .Xr ipsecctl 8 , see the file .Pa /etc/protocols . .It Xo .Ic from .Aq Ar src .Ic port .Aq Ar sport .Ic to .Aq Ar dst .Ic port .Aq Ar dport .Xc This rule applies for packets with source address .Aq Ar src and destination address .Aq Ar dst . The keyword .Ar any will match any address (i.e. 0.0.0.0/0). The optional .Ic port modifiers restrict the flows to the specified ports. They are only valid in conjunction with the .Xr tcp 4 and .Xr udp 4 protocols. Ports can be specified by number or by name. For a list of all port name to number mappings used by .Xr ipsecctl 8 , see the file .Pa /etc/services . .It Ic local Aq Ar localip The .Ic local parameter specifies the local address to be used, if we are multi-homed or have aliases. Usually this parameter can be left out. .It Ic peer Aq Ar remote The .Ic peer parameter specifies the address or FQDN of the remote endpoint of this particular flow. For host-to-host connections where .Aq Ar dst is identical to .Aq Ar remote , the .Ic peer specification can be left out. .It Xo .Ic main auth .Aq Ar algorithm .Ic enc .Aq Ar algorithm .Ic group .Aq Ar group .Xc These parameters define the cryptographic transforms to be used for main mode. Possible values for .Ic auth are .Ar hmac-sha1 and .Ar hmac-md5 . For .Ic enc the values .Ar des , .Ar 3des , .Ar aes , .Ar blowfish and .Ar cast are allowed. For .Ic group the values .Ar modp768 , .Ar modp1024 , .Ar modp1536 , .Ar modp2048 , .Ar modp3072 , .Ar modp4096 , .Ar modp6144 and .Ar modp8192 are allowed. If omitted, .Xr ipsecctl 8 will use the default values .Ar hmac-sha1 and .Ar aes and no specific group specified. .It Xo .Ic quick auth .Aq Ar algorithm .Ic enc .Aq Ar algorithm .Ic group .Aq Ar group .Xc Similar to .Ic main , .Ic quick defines the transforms to be used for quick mode. However, the possible values for .Ic auth are .Ar hmac-md5 , .Ar hmac-sha1 , .Ar hmac-ripemd160 , .Ar hmac-sha2-256 , .Ar hmac-sha2-384 and .Ar hmac-sha2-512 . For .Ic enc valid values are again .Ar des , .Ar 3des , .Ar aes , .Ar blowfish and .Ar cast . For .Ic group the values .Ar modp768 , .Ar modp1024 , .Ar modp1536 , .Ar modp2048 , .Ar modp3072 , .Ar modp4096 , .Ar modp6144 and .Ar modp8192 are allowed. If no quick mode transforms are specified, the default values .Ar hmac-sha2-256 and .Ar aes and no specific group are chosen. .It Xo .Ic srcid .Aq Ar fqdn .Xc This optional parameter defines a FQDN that will be used by .Xr isakmpd 8 as the identity of the local peer. .It Xo .Ic dstid .Aq Ar fqdn .Xc Similar to .Ic srcid , this optional parameter defines a FQDN to be used by the remote peer. .It Ic psk Aq Ar string Use a pre-shared key .Ar string for authentication. If not specified, RSA authentication will be used. By default, the system startup script .Xr rc 8 generates a key-pair for .Xr isakmpd 8 when starting, if one does not already exist. .El .Pp See also .Sx ISAKMP EXAMPLES below. .Sh TCP MD5 SIGNATURES RFC 2385 describes a mechanism to protect .Xr tcp 4 sessions using MD5. A Security Association (SA) for TCP MD5 signatures is set up using the following rule: .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Xo .Ic tcpmd5 .Ic from .Aq Ar src .Ic to .Aq Ar dst .Ic spi .Aq Ar number .Ic authkey .Aq Ar keyspec .Xc This rule applies for packets with source address .Aq Ar src and destination address .Aq Ar dst . The parameter .Ic spi is a 32-bit value defining the Security Parameter Index (SPI) for this SA. .Pp The authentication key to be used is a hexadecimal string of arbitrary length or a path to a file containing the key. The filename may be given as either an absolute path to the file or a relative pathname, and is specified as follows: .Bd -literal -offset -indent authkey file "filename" .Ed .Pp It is very important that the key is not guessable. One practical way of generating 160-bit (20-byte) keys is as follows: .Bd -literal -offset indent $ openssl rand 20 | hexdump -e '20/1 "%02x"' .Ed .Pp For both .Ic spi and .Ic authkey it is possible to specify two values separated by a colon. .Xr ipsecctl 8 will then generate the matching incoming SA using the second values for .Ic spi and .Ic authkey . .El .Pp For details on how to enable TCP MD5 signatures see .Xr tcp 4 . .Sh EXAMPLES .Bd -literal # Host-to-host flow esp from 192.168.3.14 to 192.168.3.100 # Same as above, but explicitly specifying "in" and "out" rules flow esp out from 192.168.3.14 to 192.168.3.100 flow esp in from 192.168.3.100 to 192.168.3.14 # Net-to-net flow esp from 192.168.7.0/24 to 192.168.8.0/24 peer 192.168.3.12 # Same as above, but explicitly specifying "in" and "out" rules flow esp out from 192.168.7.0/24 to 192.168.8.0/24 peer 192.168.3.12 flow esp in from 192.168.8.0/24 to 192.168.7.0/24 peer 192.168.3.12 # Same as above, but explicitly specifying the local gateway IP flow esp from 192.168.7.0/24 to 192.168.8.0/24 \e local 192.168.1.1 peer 192.168.3.12 # Protect remote bridges (IP over Ethernet) flow esp proto etherip from 192.168.100.1 to 192.168.200.1 # Set up IPsec SAs for flows between 192.168.3.14 and 192.168.3.12 esp from 192.168.3.14 to 192.168.3.12 spi 0xdeadbeef:0xbeefdead \e auth hmac-sha2-256 enc aesctr authkey file "auth14:auth12" \e enckey file "enc14:enc12" .Ed .Sh TCP MD5 EXAMPLES .Bd -literal # Set up keys for TCP MD5 signatures tcpmd5 from 192.168.3.14 to 192.168.3.27 spi 0x1000:0x1001 \e authkey 0xdeadbeef:0xbeefdead # Set up keys for TCP MD5 signatures; read keys from files tcpmd5 from 192.168.3.14 to 192.168.3.27 spi 0x1000:0x1001 \e authkey file "/path/to/key1:/path/to/key2" .Ed .Sh ISAKMP EXAMPLES .Bd -literal # Set up two tunnels: # First between the networks 10.1.1.0/24 and 10.1.2.0/24 # Second between the machines 192.168.3.1 and 192.168.3.2 ike esp from 10.1.1.0/24 to 10.1.2.0/24 peer 192.168.3.2 ike esp from 192.168.3.1 to 192.168.3.2 # Using interface group names and symbolic host names ike esp from egress to 10.1.2.0/24 peer mygate.home.net # Protect remote bridges (IP over Ethernet) ike esp proto etherip from 192.168.100.1 to 192.168.200.1 # Use bypass flow to exclude local subnets from larger VPNs flow in from 192.168.62.0/24 to 192.168.62.0/24 type bypass ike dynamic esp from 192.168.62.0/24 to 192.168.48.0/20 peer 192.168.3.12 .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ipcomp 4 , .Xr ipsec 4 , .Xr tcp 4 , .Xr isakmpd.conf 5 , .Xr ipsecctl 8 , .Xr isakmpd 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm file format first appeared in .Ox 3.8 .
