Re: VPN where local private address collide
On 18/08/2013 00:29, Terje Elde wrote: The obvious answer is IPv6, of course. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet. You seemed dead set on not renumbering the networks, and moving to IPv6 would not only be just that, but also be harder than just renumbering IPv4-nets, so you answered that question for us already. I was being ironic ;-) I'm not sure that TLS would cause more problems than any other packets, but as you point out, the exercise is bound to be full of pooh traps as yet undiscovered. FTP should be interesting, for a start. But for most things, why would swapping an IP address in the packet header cause any kind of problem as long as it was done consistently? Apparently Cisco routers manage to sort this all out as a matter of course, which goes some way to explaining why they cost so much. There are lots of corporate networks on 10.x.x.x, and I'm told this kind of caper is used to sort them out when they collide. Paying for a Cisco VPN could easily work out cheaper than reconfiguring a large corporate LAN, but I don't have the budget for either. Unfortunately this goes beyond my current knowledge of FreeBSD's networking layers so I may be busy for some time.

I was cutting corners and trying to keep the reply short (was on cellphone at the time), and I think the word headers might have lead to some crosstalk. For TCP/IP itself, just consistently swapping the IP would solve the problem. That'd fix a lot, and things like like ssh and http should work fine with that. If we look at other things though, like SIP, it's not that easy. I'm using SIP as an example just because it illustrates the point nicely, and I know it well. For SIP, you'd have the IP in multiple places: TCP/IP - the connection to the server. SIP - The application protocol RTP - Payload in the application protocol, carrying media-metadata Now, you'd get the connection to the server (TCP/IP), but for registering against the SIP-server, the client would include it's IP in the SIP-layer as well, in a http-like header. It'd tell the server where it would want to be contacted for things like incoming calls. Initially this would point to the clients perspective of the IP, and not to the IP it were to carry after NAT. That is, the client would be able to register, but for incoming calls the server would try to contact the IP in the wrong place. For placing calls, you'd also have information about where media-streams should go in RTP, both IP and port numbers. This would also carry wrong information if you're merely changing the IP/port in TCP/IP-layers. Both of these can be resolved wither in the router/firewall/NAT-box, or worked around on the server, but it's not pretty by a long shot, and it's completely avoidable if you can avoid the NAT. There are lots of corporate networks on 10.x.x.x, and I'm told this kind of caper is used to sort them out when they collide. Paying for a Cisco VPN could easily work out cheaper than reconfiguring a large corporate LAN, but I don't have the budget for either. This kind of thing *can* be used to sort out colliding subnets, but that doesn't mean it *should* be used to resolve the issue(s). You mentioned that a Cisco-guy said this would work, and explained details of how to do it. I'm thinking that the same Cisco-guy could also give details on how to drop a rack full of Juniper-equipment out of a 10th floor window, in order to replace it with Cisco-gear. It's quite possible to do that, but again, that doesn't mean you should. I think the gist of the issue here is that you have a problem, and you're (correctly) thinking you can solve a lot if you NAT the two networks together. That's not wrong, it's completely true. You can get a lot to work in that way. Then you also have some random-looking guy on a mailing-list telling you that Yes, you can do that. But you shouldn't. I get how hard it can be to take that kind of advice, especially when you know and have been told that it's quite possible. If you really, really want to explore that route, then here's one way to go about it: Use the VPN just to get the link up, don't worry about using NAT with MPD. It's nice to keep all of the nat/firewall-bits in a single place, and pf is a good solution to it. If you're running the VPN off of the primary gateway, this should be fairly straight-forward, and you should be able to use something like this: pf.conf on gateway/vpn-endpoint in lan_a: lan_a = 192.168.0.0/24 lan_b = 192.168.0.0/24 vpn_a = 192.168.1.0/24 vpn_b = 192.168.2.0/24 binat on $vpn_if from $lan_a to any - $vpn_a pf.conf on gateway/vpn-endpoint in lan_b: lan_a = 192.168.0.0/24 lan_b = 192.168.0.0/24 vpn_a = 192.168.1.0/24 vpn_b = 192.168.2.0/24 binat on $vpn_if from $lan_b to any - $vpn_b The VPN-tunnel itself could ignore any concept of the conflicting 192.168.0.0/24-range, and simply deal with 192.168.1.0/24 being on one end, and 192.168.2.0/24 on the other. If you're standing in lan_a, and your local address is 192.168.0.182, and you'd like to reach 192.168.0.17 in lan_b, you'd talk to 192.168.2.17. In lan_a, the conneciton would be seen as 192.168.0.182 - 192.168.2.17. Crossing the lan_a VPN-endpoing going into the tunnel, it'd get rewritten to be 192.168.1.182 - 192.168.2.17. Crossing the lan_b VPN-endpoint going into lan_b, it'd get rewritten to be 192.168.1.182 - 192.168.0.17 You'd then hit the right server. The response from 192.168.0.17 (in lan_b) would get routed back over the VPN-tunnel, since it's sent to 192.168.1.182. That is, in lan_b the response would be 192.168.0.17 - 192.168.1.182. Crossing the lan_b VPN-endpoing going into the tunnel, on the way back to lan_a, it'd get rewritten to be 192.168.2.17 -

On 18. aug. 2013, at 02.43, Adam Vande More wrote: What about SSL/TLS for example? How would the router swap the header in an encrypted session? Same as it would any sessions since only the payload is encrypted. What Frank calls basic nat, most people call static nat(at least people who have read enough Cisco docs) and it works just fine. Also you are confusing headers. The point I was aiming for was that even if you were to swap the IPs in the IP-header on the gateway, some protocols still reference the IPs inside the TCP-payload, and while you can rewrite that on a NAT-box using an application level gateway, you can not do that if the session is using SSL or TLS. I was referring to headers *inside* the SSL/TLS-layers. I thought that was obvious, but I see I might not have been clear enough. Yes, you can often still resolve it on the server, but just how messy does one want to get stacking workaround on top of workaround, just to avoid renumbering the network?

Re: undelete files in msdosfs
I wrote something to do this a long time back, but I doubt I can find the source quickly. The easiest way would be to download a forensic live-CD like DEFT, which includes Undelete 360. Possibly over-kill but it's handy to have one around. Most of these forensic tools use a GUI. There is a program called fatback in the ports collection but I haven't tried it. The tools on these forensic live-CDs are likely to be more powerful by a long way. Regards, Frank.

We have plenty of them. From my unbelievable list of tools for data recovery and regarding that you are trying to recover files from a camera: photorec. It's in the ports collection. In the same context, magicrescue is worth mentioning. If they all fail, consider using TSK. Note: Do _not_ do ANY writes to the card! Mount it -o ro if needed. Make an 1:1 copy (using dd_rescue from ports), work with that copy. Everything that slips through fat fingers could reduce the chance of a successful recovery session. I know it. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

There is a program called fatback in the ports collection but I haven't tried it. The tools on these forensic live-CDs are likely to be more powerful by a long way. Most of the programs can be used from within FreeBSD. As I said, there are many of those available for free. Some of them require the user to _know_ what he does. The more complex the recovery task is, the more knowledge is involved. GUIs are good to hide this fact, and in worst case, you lose your data. Of course there is no problem delegating the recovery task to a service center for $$$. And sometimes, if you look close enough, you can see that those are using the free tools. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The only times I've run generic is when installing a new system, to see what I need and what I don't. Maybe I'm just old. You demonstrated a valid argument for building from source. Using freebsd-update, a binary method is used for updating the _default_ system and the GENERIC kernel. If you have custom settings and therefore _intend_ to build from source, changing the version in your svn co command to the new -RELEASE-pX branch (security update branch) is safe. I've been using a similar approach with CVS to follow the -STABLE branch with a custom kernel and custom settings for building the system.
