.TH DHCP_PROBE.CF 5 "Mar 9 2009" "Princeton Univ."
.SH NAME
dhcp_probe.cf \- configuration file for dhcp_probe
.SH SYNPOSIS
/etc/dhcp_probe.cf
.SH DESCRIPTION
The file
.B /etc/dhcp_probe.cf
contains configuration information used by the
.BR dhcp_probe (8)
daemon.
dhcp_probe
reads the file when it begins (and whenever it
receives a SIGHUP signal).
.PP
The location of this file defaults to
.BR /etc/dhcp_probe.cf ,
but may be overridden by a command-line option to
.BR dhcp_probe (8).
.PP
The file consists of a series of statements, one per line.
Each statement begins with a keyword followed by one or
more arguments (depending on the keyword); keywords and
arguments are separated by spaces or tabs.
Statements may be specified in any order.
.PP
Some keywords take an
.I ethernet-address
argument.
Ethernet address values must be written in a form that
.BR ether_aton (3)
recognizes; e.g.
1:2:3:4:5:6 or 00:A5:b2:0:BB:c.
.PP
Some keywords take an
.I ip-address
as a value.
IP address values must be written in a form
that
.BR inet_aton (3)
recognizes; e.g.
192.168.1.2.
.PP
Blank lines are ignored.
Lines for which the first non-blank character is a '#' are treated
as comments.
Trailing comments on statements are
.I not
supported.
.PP
Because all presently-defined keywords are optional, the file may
be empty, however, it must exist.
.SH KEYWORDS
.PP
The keywords are as follows:
.SS \fBchaddr\fP
.RS
.PP
The
.B chaddr
statement is optional, and is used to specify the value of the
.I chaddr
field in the request packets sent by the program.
This value is also used to compute the DHCP Client Identifier option in some
of the request packets sent by the program (by prepending x'01').
.PP
Specify:
.IP
chaddr
.I ethernet-address
.PP
If not specified, this value defaults to the Ethernet address corresponding
to the interface you specified on the commandline.
.PP
You might want to use the
.B chaddr
statement
if the interface is also a DHCP client, so that sending requests with the
interface's own chaddr/DHCP Client Identifier will not interfere with that
functionality.
.PP
If you specify a value, be sure to specify a unicast Ethernet address that does not
belong to any valid client on your network.
.PP
Correctly-functioning BootP and DHCP servers that respond will send
any responses to the
.I chaddr
address, or in some cases, to the Ethernet
broadcast address.
Therefore, if you specify a value here (and it differs from your interface's
Ethernet address), the program will have to place the interface into
promiscuous mode to be sure it hears unicast responses.
.PP
Note that the
.I chaddr
value does not affect the Ethernet source address of the
Ethernet frames sent by the program.
.PP
If you specify this value, you may also wish to specify the same value in the
.B ether_src
statement.
See the description of that statement for further discussion.
.SS \fBether_src\fP
.RS
.PP
The
.B ether_src
statement is optional, and is used to specify the value of the
.I ether_src
field
in the Ethernet frames sent by the program.
.PP
Specify:
.IP
ether_src
.I ethernet-address
.PP
If not specified, this value defaults to the Ethernet address corresponding
to the interface you specified on the commandline.
.PP
If you specify a value, be sure to specify a unicast Ethernet address that does not
belong to any valid client on your network.
.PP
Note that this value does not affect the
.I chaddr
field or the DHCP Client Identifier
option field in request packets sent by the program.
.PP
If you specified a
.I chaddr
value, you may also wish to specify an equal
.I ether_src
value.
While not strictly necessary, doing so will cause any Layer 2 switches on the network
to learn that this hardware address is on your leg of the network, so they
will not need to flood response packets directed to that hardware address, but instead
can direct the response packets only to your leg of the network.
.PP
Additionally, specifying the same
.I ether_src value
could help you discover any buggy BootP or DHCP servers
that mistakenly direct their responses to the sender's ether_src (instead of to the sender's bootp_chaddr).
.SS \fBserver_id\fP
.RS
.PP
The
.B server_id
statement is optional, and is used to specify the value of the
DHCP Server Identifer option in some of the request packets sent by the program.
.PP
Specify:
.IP
server_id
.I ip-address
.PP
If not specified, this value defaults to 10.254.254.254.
.PP
The DHCP Server Identifer option appears in the packets the program
sends when it mimics a DHCP client in the SELECTING state.
.PP
It's best that the DHCP Server Identifier option the program uses
not match the IP address of any valid DHCP server on your network,
to avoid confusing them.
Other than that, any IP address is a reasonable value; you may
wish to specify one that could never be a valid address on your network.
.SS \fBclient_ip_address\fP
.RS
.PP
The
.B client_ip_address
statement is optional, and is used to specify the IP address that
the program should request, or claim to have a lease on.
.PP
Specify:
.IP
client_ip_address
.I ip-address
.PP
If not specified, this value defaults to 172.31.254.254.
.PP
When the program generates a DHCPREQUEST packet that mimics a DHCP client
that is in the INIT-REBOOT or SELECTING state, the packet contains a
Requested IP Address option containing this value.
When the program generates a DHCPREQUEST packet that mimics a DHCP client
that is in the REBINDING state, the packet contains a
.I ciaddr
field
containing this value.
.PP
It's best that the value the program uses not match the IP address of any
valid DHCP client on your network, to avoid confusing valid DHCP servers.
.PP
It's extremely useful if the value the program uses
.I not
be valid (topologically speaking) for the physical network on which
the program sends the packets.
Sending a topologically inappropriate value may stimulate some
DHCP servers to respond with a DHCPNAK, which helps the program
flush out DHCP servers.
.SS \fBresponse_wait_time\fP
.RS
.PP
The
.B response_wait_time
statement is optional, and is used to specify how long the program
should wait for responses after sending a single request packet.
.PP
Specify
.IP
response_wait_time
.I num_milliseconds
.PP
If not specified, this value defaults to 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds).
.PP
The value is specified in milliseconds, and must fit into an 'int' on your host.
(Values larger than an 'int' may be silently misinterpreted.)
Typical values are on the order of a few thousand milliseconds; i.e. several seconds.
.SS \fBcycle_time\fP
.RS
.PP
The
.B cycle_time
statement is optional, and is used to specify how long the program
should sleep between each probe cycle.
.PP
Specify
.IP
cycle_time
.I num_seconds
.PP
If not specified, this value defaults to 300 seconds.
.PP
The value is specified in seconds, and must into into an 'unsigned int' on your host.
(Values larger than an 'unsigned int' may be silently misinterpreted.)
Typical valus range from several hundred to several thousand seconds (i.e. several minutes to several hours).
.PP
During each probe cycle, the program sends one of the request packet flavors,
captures any responses that arrive during the
.IR response_wait_time ,
then repeats this for each of the other request packet flavors.
After doing this for each flavor of request packet, the probe cycle is complete, and
the program sleeps for the
.IR cycle_time .
.SS \fBlegal_server\fP
.RS
.PP
The
.B legal_server
statement is optional, and is used to specify the IP source address of
responses that come from a legal BootP or DHCP server on your network.
The statement may be specified multiple times.
.PP
Specify
.IP
legal_server
.I ip-address
.PP
If not specified, the program assumes there are no legal BootP and DHCP servers on
your network; all responses will be treated as coming from an unknown DHCP server.
.PP
When the program receives a response packet, it compares the packet's IP source
address to all the addresses you have specified in
.B legal_server
statements.
If the IP source address matches one of these values, the response is deemed to have
come from a known DHCP server, and is ignored.
If the IP source address does not match any of these values (or you do not specify
any
.BR legal_server ),
then the program logs a message that reports the packet's IP source address and Ethernet source
address.
Additionally, if the program was started with the
.B \-o
commandline option, the packet is also written to a packet capture file.
.PP
If both
.B legal_server
and
.B legal_server_ethersrc
statements appear, then a response
must have both a valid IP source and a valid ethernet source to be considered to have
come from a known DHCP server.
.PP
When relaying a response from a server to a client, some BootP Relay Agents
may change the response's IP source address, replacing the server's IP address
with that of the BootP Relay Agent.
If BootP Relay Agents on your network do this, you will need to specify
their IP addresses here instead.
.SS \fBlegal_server_ethersrc\fP
.RS
.PP
The
.B legal_server_ethersrc
statement is optional, and is used to specify the Ethernet source address of
responses that come from a legal BootP or DHCP server on your network.
The statement may be specified multiple times.
.PP
Specify
.IP
legal_server_ethersrc
.I ethernet-address
.PP
If not specified, the program does not check the Ethernet source address of responses.
.PP
If you have specified at least one
.B legal_server_ethersrc
value,
when the program receives a response packet,
the program compares the packet's Ethernet source
address to all the addresses you have specified in
.B legal_server_ethersrc
statements.
If the Ethernet source does not match one of these values, the response is deemed to have
come from an unknown DHCP server;
the program logs a message that reports the packet's IP source address and Ethernet source
address.
Additionally, if the program was started with the
.B \-o
commandline option, the packet is also written to a packet capture file.
.PP
If both
.B legal_server
and
.B legal_server_ethersrc
statements appear, then a response
must have both a valid IP source and a valid ethernet source to be considered to have
come from a known DHCP server.
.PP
Each router on the path from the DHCP server to the DHCP client will overwrite
the Ethernet source address field.
So if you specify any
.B legal_server_ethersrc
statements,
also list the Ethernet source value(s) for the last hop router(s).
A BootP Relay Agent on the path from the DHCP server to the DHCP client will overwrite
the Ethernet field.
So also list the Ethernet source value(s) for the BootP Relay Agent.
(The BootP Relay Agent is often co-resident in the last-hop IP router, so you may have already taken care
of this when you listed the last-hop router(s).
.PP
The
.B legal_server_ethersrc
statement is considered experimental in version 1.3.0,
as it has received only limited testing.
.SS \fBlease_network_of_concern\fP
.RS
.PP
The
.B lease_network_of_concern
statement is optional, and may be specified multiple times.
The statement is used to specify one or more network ranges
that are of concern relative to the IP addresses distributed
by a rogue BootP/DHCP server.
.PP
Specify
.IP
lease_network_of_concern
.I network-ip-address network-mask
.PP
Specifying one or more
.B lease_network_of_concern
statements activates the "Lease Networks of Concern" feature.
.PP
When the program receives a response packet that it determines
to be from a rogue BootP/DHCP server, if the "Lease Networks of Concern" feature
is active, the program will examine the packet further.
If the packet's
.B yiaddr
field is non-zero, the value in that field is tested to see if
it falls within any of the "Leases Networks of Concern."
If it does, then the message the program logs is extended to
also report this fact, and to include the value of the
.B yiaddr
field.
Furthermore, if an
.B alert_program_name2
was specified, when that program is called, it is called with an additional
.B "\-y yiaddr"
option.
(This is not supported if an
.B alert_program_name
was specified, as the older
.B alert_program_name
uses a syntax that cannot be extended.)
.PP
The "Lease Networks of Concern" feature does not change the way
the program probes for or detects rogue BootP/DHCP servers.
Upon detection of a rogue BootP/DHCP server, the feature only may cause
additional information to be added to the message logged
(and passed to
.BR alert_program_name2 ).
.PP
This feature may be used, for example, by specifying your networks'
legitimate address ranges as "Lease Networks of Concern".
While most rogue BootP/DHCP servers distribute private IP addresses, or send DHCPNAKs
to legitimate clients, other more damaging rogue BootP/DHCP servers may
distribute IP addresses that fall within your legitimate network ranges.
This will help differentiate those more damaging incidents from
the more common ones.
.SS \fBalert_program_name\fP
.RS
.PP
The
.B alert_program_name
statement is optional, and may be used to specify the name of an external program
that should be run every time a response packet is received from an unexpected server.
.PP
Note that using the newer
.B alert_program_name2
statement is preferrable.
.PP
Specify
.IP
alert_program_name
.I /absolute/path/name
.PP
Unexpected response packets are reported as a matter of course,
and optionally written to a packet capture file.
You may use an
.B alert_program_name
to provide additional handling of the event, for example, to alert an appropriate
party via mail or paging.
The
.B alert_program_name
you specify is called with four arguments in the following order:
the name of the calling program (e.g.
.BR dhcp_probe ),
the name of the interface on which the unexpected response packet was received,
the IP source address of the packet,
and the Ethernet source address of the packet.
.PP
As the
.B alert_program_name
is called with the same privileges as
.B dhcp_probe
(i.e. root), you should exercise caution to ensure that the alert program is safe for
a privileged user to execute.
.PP
Because the syntax supported by the external program is not extensible,
the use of
.B alert_program_name2
is preferrable.
.PP
You may not specify both
.B alert_program_name
and
.BR alert_program_name2 .
.SS \fBalert_program_name2\fP
.RS
.PP
The
.B alert_program_name2
statement is optional, and may be used to specify the name of an external program
that should be run every time a response packet is received from an unexpected server.
.PP
Specify
.IP
alert_program_name2
.I /absolute/path/name
.PP
Unexpected response packets are reported as a matter of course,
and optionally written to a packet capture file.
You may use an
.B alert_program_name2
to provide additional handling of the event, for example, to alert an appropriate
party via mail or paging.
The
.B alert_program_name2
you specify is called with the following required options:
.PP
.RS
.nf
\-p the name of the calling program (e.g. dhcp_probe),
\-I the name of the interface on which the unexpected response packet was received
\-i the IP source address of the packet
\-m Ethernet source address of the packet
.fi
.RE
.PP
The following non-required options may also be passed:
.PP
.RS
.nf
\-y the non-zero yiaddr value from the packet, when it falls inside a "Lease Network of Concern"
.fi
.RE
.PP
The
.B alert_program_name2
program you specify must ignore options or arguments it does not recognize;
this is to ensure it remains forward-compatible with future enhancements to
.BR dhcp_probe .
It must be prepared to accept options in any order.
.PP
As the
.B alert_program_name2
is called with the same privileges as
.B dhcp_probe
(i.e. root), you should exercise caution to ensure that the alert program is safe for
a privileged user to execute.
.PP
You may not specify both
.B alert_program_name
and
.BR alert_program_name2 .

#
# ETHERNET SOURCE ADDRESS
#
# By default, for the 'ether_shost' field in the Ethernet header, we use the Ethernet
# address corresponding to the interface you specified.
# You may optionally override this value.
# (Note that this does not override the 'chaddr' in the BootP header, nor the DHCP Client Identifier.)
#
# If you are specify the 'chaddr' statement, you might want to also do this, so you don't miss buggy
# DHCP servers that respond (incorrectly) to ether_src instead of to chaddr.
#
# If you specify a value, be sure to specify an Ethernet address that does not belong to
# any valid client on your network. Be sure to specify a unicast Ethernet address.
#
# Syntax:
# ether_src enet-addr
ether_src 0:0:0:1:2:3
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# DHCP SERVER IDENTIFIER
#
# When we generate a DHCPREQUEST packet corresponding to a client that is in the SELECTING
# state, the options field must contain a 'DHCP Server Identifier' option, indicating the
# IP address of the DHCP server the client is selecting. It's best that the value we use
# not match the IP address of any valid DHCP server, to avoid confusing them. The program
# provides a default value of 10.254.254.254, which you may override here.
#
# Syntax:
# server_id ip-addr
server_id 10.1.2.3
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# CLIENT IP ADDRESS
#
# When we generate a DHCPREQUEST packet corresponding to a client that is in the INIT-REBOOT
# or SELECTING state, the options field must containg a 'Requested IP Address' option, indicating
# the IP address the client is requesting. When we generate a DHCPREQUEST packet corresponding
# to a client that is in the REBINDING state, the 'ciaddr' field in the BootP header must contain
# the IP address that the DHCP client presently has leased and wishes to renew.
#
# In all these cases, it's best that the value we use not match the IP address of any valid DHCP client,
# to avoid confusing the valid DHCP servers.
#
# Furthermore, it is extremely useful if the value we use *not* be valid (topologically speaking) for the
# physical network on which we send the packets. Sending a topologically inappropriate value
# may stimulate some DHCP servers to respond with a DHCPNAK, which helps us flush out DHCP servers.
# (This will probably happen only in response to the packets we sending when pretending to be in REBINDING state.)
#
# The program provides a default value of 172.31.254.254, which you may override here.
#
# Syntax:
# client_ip_address ip-addr
# client_ip_address 172.31.254.254
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# RESPONSE WAIT TIME
#
# After sending one packet, we wait for responses. The length of time we wait
# is the 'response_wait_time'. The program provides a default value of 5000, which you
# may override here. The value is measured in milliseconds, and must fit into
# an 'int' on your host. (Values larger than an 'int' may be silently misinterpreted.)
# Typical values are on the order of a few thousand milliseconds; i.e. several seconds.
#
# Syntax:
# response_wait_time num_milliseconds
# response_wait_time 5000
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# CYCLE WAIT TIME
#
# For each flavor packet, we send the packet and listen for responses to that packet.
# After doing this for all flavor packets, we go to sleep for the "cycle_time",
# then repeat the process. The program provides a default value of 300, which you
# may override here. The value is measured in seconds, and must fit into an
# 'unsigned int' on your host. (Values larger than an 'unsigned int' may be silently
# misinterpreted.) Typical valus range from several hundred to several thousand
# seconds (i.e. several minutes to several hours).
#
# Syntax:
# cycle_time num_seconds
cycle_time 1200
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# LEGAL SERVERS' IP SOURCE ADDRESSES
#
# After sending one packet, we wait for responses. Responses from legal BootP or DHCP
# servers are ignored; presumably you aren't interesting in discovering them.
# Specify a legal server's IP source address with the 'legal_server' statement.
# The value you specify is compared to the IPsrc field in each response's IP header.
#
# If you have multiple legal servers, specify each in a separate statement.
# If your BootP Relay Agents overwrite the server's IP address in the IPsrc field
# with their own IP addresses, you will need to list the IP addresses of the
# BootP Relay Agents.
#
# Alternatively, do not specify any legal_server statements at all, so *no* responses
# will be considered legal.
# (This is different from the way legal_server_ethersrc statements are handled.)
#
# If both legal_server and legal_server_ethersrc statements appear, then a response
# must have both a valid IP source and a valid ethernet source to be considered legal.
#
# Syntax:
# legal_server ip-addr
legal_server 192.168.1.2
legal_server 192.168.3.4
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# LEGAL SERVERS' ETHERNET SOURCE ADDRESSES
#
# Specify a legal server's Ethernet source address with the 'legal_server_ethersrc' statement.
# The value you specify is compared to the ethernet_src field in each response's IP header.
#
# If you have multiple legal ethernet sources, specify each in a separate statement.
# Each router on the path from the DHCP server to the DHCP client will overwrite
# the ethernet_src field. So also list the ethernet_src value(s) for the last hop router(s).
# The BootP Relay Agent on the path from the DHCP server to the DHCP client will overwrite
# the ethernet_src field. So also list the ethernet_src value(s) for the BootP Relay Agent.
# (This is often co-resident in the last-hop IP router, so you may have already taken care
# of this when you listed the last-hop router(s).
#
# Alternatively, do not specify any legal_server_ethersrc statements at all.
# If none are specified, then all ethernet_src values are considered legal.
# (This is different from the way legal_server statements are handled.)
#
# If both legal_server and legal_server_ethersrc statements appear, then a response
# must have both a valid IP source and a valid ethernet source to be considered legal.

#
# ALERT PROGRAM NAME
#
# In addition to logging a response received from an unexpected server, we will optionally
# call a user-specified 'alert program' if one is specified here. To use this feature,
# specify the absolute pathname of a program we should execute for each unexpected response.
# Either specify it using the older 'alert_program_name' statement, or (preferrably) using
# the newer 'alert_program_name2' statement. (The newer statement is preferrable because
# it calls the alert program with a more extensible syntax.) You may not specify
# both alert_program_name and alert_program_name2.
#
# Old style alert program:
#
# Syntax:
# alert_program_name /absolute/path/name
#
# The program specified via 'alert_program_name' will be called as follows:
# /absolute/path/name name_of_calling_program name_of_interface_on_which_the_response_was_received IP_source_of_the_response ether_src_of_the_response
#
#
# Newer style alert program:
#
# Syntax:
# alert_program_name2 /absolute/path/name
#
# The program specified via 'alert_program_name2' will be called as follows:
# /absolute/path/name \-p name_of_calling_program \-I name_of_interface_on_which_the_response_was_received \-i IP_source_of_the_response \-m ether_src_of_the_response [\-y yiaddr_when_in_lease_networks_of_concern]
# The options may appear in any order.
# The program must silently ignore any options or arguments it does not recognize,
# so as to be forward-compatible with future enhancements to dhcp_probe.
alert_program_name2 /usr/local/etc/dhcp_probe_notify2
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# LEASE NETWORKS OF CONCERN
#
# Optionally define one or more network ranges that are to be treated as
# being of special concern when a rogue BootP/DHCP server is detected sending response
# that contains a 'yiaddr' value that falls into any of these ranges.
# Specify each such network ranges of concern in a separate statement.
# When the yiaddr value in a rogue server's response falls into any of these ranges,
# the message logged will contain additional text remarking on this fact.
# And if an alert_program_name2 is used, that alert program
# will be called with an extra option so it can also act on that fact.
#
# If you specify all your networks' legitimate IP ranges, this can help you
# take additional notice of rogue BootP/DHCP servers that distribute *your*
# network addresess, rather than simply distribute private IP address or
# send DHCPNAKs to legitimate clients.
#
# Syntax:
# lease_network_of_concern IP-network-address network-mask
