General

Destination NAT with netfilter (DNAT)

Using DNAT for all protocols (and ports) on one IP 

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 10.10.20.99 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.10.14.2

Using DNAT for a single port 

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 10.10.20.99 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.10.14.2

Log event: 

iptables -A INPUT ... -j LOG --log-level 4
iptables -A INPUT ... -j LOG --log-level 4 --log-prefix "** BLOCKED **"

Simulating full NAT with SNAT and DNAT: [1] [2] 

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 205.254.211.17 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.100.17
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.100.17 -j SNAT --to-destination 205.254.211.17

Block DHCP: [3] 

# block UDP ports 67 and 68
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp --dport 67:68 -j DROP

Ports: 

 22 TCP - SSH
 80 TCP - HTTP
443 TCP - HTTPS

Port forwarding: [4] [5] 

/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
		 --dport 8888 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.2:80
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 -d 192.168.0.2 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.50:80
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 80 -i eth1 -j ACCEPT

ip_conntrack

ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet | Racker Hacker

dmesg: 

ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet

Generally, the ip_conntrack_max is set to the total MB of RAM installed multiplied by 16. However, this server had 4GB of RAM, but ip_conntrack_max was set to 65536. I’m not sure if this is a known Red Hat issue, or if it’s just set to a standard value out of the box. 

# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max
65536

If you want to check your server’s current tracked connections, just run the following: 

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_count

If you want to adjust it (as I did), just run the following as root: 

echo 131072 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max

To make this persistent you have to add a line like 

net.ipv4.ip_conntrack_max=131072′ to /etc/sysctl.conf

NAT

Linux Firewall – iptables and NAT « Sachin’s Weblog

NAT, Network Address translation basically is of two types SNAT and DNAT.

SNAT, Source NAT is when you alter the source address of the first packet: i.e. you are changing where the connection is coming from. Source NAT is always done post-routing, just before the packet goes out onto the wire. Masquerading is a specialized form of SNAT.

DNAT, Destination NAT is when you alter the destination address of the first packet: i.e. you are changing where the connection is going to. Destination NAT is always done before routing, when the packet first comes off the wire. Port forwarding, load sharing, and transparent proxying are all forms of DNAT.

Stop SSH Brute Force Attacks

here's an easy fix. It drops new ssh connections coming from the same IP with less than 15s intervals (or any timeout you
want). In my server, this has shown to stop the automated attempts on the first failed connection - and even if the
attacker waits for the 15s, it makes brute-force attempts not practical.

For legit sessions, 15s is reasonable (at least for me) between session starts.

It's just two lines on the iptables configuration. No other change required:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 -m state --state NEW --dport 22 -m recent --update --seconds 15 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 -m state --state NEW --dport 22 -m recent --set -j ACCEPT

This assumes you already have
iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -p tcp ! --syn -s <REMOTENET> -d <OUTERNET>
above that, to accept established connection packets.

look up a program called denyhosts.

we have a lot of problems with ssh brute attacks. denyhost has helped a lot.

Quick HOWTO : Ch14 : Linux Firewalls Using iptables - Linux Home Networking

"Network security is a primary consideration in any decision to host a website as the threats are becoming more widespread and persistent every day. One means of providing additional protection is to invest in a firewall. Though prices are always falling, in some cases you may be able to create a comparable unit using the Linux iptables package on an existing server for little or no additional expenditure. "
