DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
ffwwbb__ppff is a firewall policy compiler component of Firewall
Builder (see fwbuilder(1)). This compiler generates code
for OpenBSD Packet Filter (pf). Compiler reads objects
definitions and firewall description from the data file
specified with "-f" option and generates pf configuration
files and firewall activation script.
All generated files have names that start with the name of
the firewall object. Firewall activation script has exten
sion ".fw" and is simple shell script that flushes current
policy, loads new filter and nat rules and then activates
pf. PF configuration file name starts with the name of
the firewall object, plus "-pf.conf". NAT configuration
file name also starts with the name of the firewall
object, plus "-nat.conf". For example, if firewall object
has name "myfirewall", then compiler will create three
files: "myfirewall.fw", "myfirewall-pf.conf", "myfirewall-
nat.conf".
The data file and the name of the firewall objects must be
specified on the command line. Other command line parame
ters are optional.
OOPPTTIIOONNSS
-f FILE
Specify the name of the data file to be processed.
-d wdir
Specify working directory. Compiler creates
firewall activation script and PF configuration
files in this directory. If this parameter is
missing, then all files will be placed in the cur
rent working directory.
-v Be verbose: compiler prints diagnostic messages
when it works.
-V Print version number and quit.
-x Generate debugging information while working. This
option is intended for debugging only and may pro
duce lots of cryptic messages.
NNOOTTEESS
Support for PF has been introduced in version 1.0.1 of
Firewall Builder
Supported features:
o both pf.conf and nat.conf files are generated
o negation in policy and NAT rules
o grouping in "from", "to" and ports using '{' '}'
syntax
o if checkbox "Scrub" is checked in the rule options
dialog, and rule's action is Accept, the compiler
generates two (almost) identical rules: first with
action 'scrub' and the second with action 'pass
quick'
o stateful inspection in individual rule can be
turned off in rule options dialog. By default com
piler adds "keep state" or "modulate state" to each
rule with action 'pass'
o rule options dialog provides a choice of icmp or
tcp rst replies for rules with action "Reject"
o compiler adds flag "allow-opts" if match on ip
options is needed
o compiler can generate rules matching on TCP flags
o compiler can generate script adding ip aliases for
NAT rules using addresses that do not belong to any
interface of the firewall
o compiler always adds rule "block quick all" at the
very bottom of the script to ensure "block all by
default" policy even if the policy is empty.
o Address ranges in both policy and NAT
Features that are not supported (yet)
o custom services
What will not be supported (at least not anytime soon)
o policy routing
