TCP isn't used on the 2701x port, only UDP.

Its not in the generic kernel. you have to add it.
it is all listed in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT

RE: [hlds_linux] [OT?]Securing a linux box running HLDS

[Jez McKinley]

That is one of the clearest explanations of setting up ipchains I have seen,
and I read a lot when trying to get to grips with it a while back. Nice Job.

Hi James and Adam

You'll find that most of the stuff written about iptables is by geeks, for
geeks, and isn't much help to anyone who just wants to get a box up and
running safely.

This is a VERY simple explanation, it takes a WHOLE lot more than this to
secure a box properly, but this should help you understand iptables a bit
more.

Basically there are three components to iptables

1. The INPUT chain
2. The FORWARD chain
3. The OUTPUT chain

You can add rules to these components to allow/disallow network traffic that
meets a certain set of criteria. I'll go over the criteria in a moment.

1. INPUT - this is the chain that monitors and applies rules to connections
being made TO your server (i.e. other computers wanting to connect to your
server)
2. FORWARD - this chain is used when routing traffic across your server, not
covered here
3. OUTPUT - this chain monitors and applies rules to connections being made
FROM your server to other computers on the internet (i.e. applications
running on your server that want to connect to other computers on the
internet)

Determine what interface you want to use i.e. eth0 ppp0 etc. Basically which
interface the game is going to run on.

Now making rules to add to the chains.

The default rule I first set is on the INPUT chain, in fact it's not a rule
but a policy and that policy is set to drop ALL traffic coming across that
interface. Oh yeah, be logged in as root.

iptables -P INPUT DROP

Now nothing can connect to any network service running on your server. All
traffic will be dropped.

Now you can add your exceptions, i'll explain what each one does.

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 27015 -m state --state
NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

explanation of above line
1. iptables - this is the iptables program
2. -A INPUT - this adds the rule to the INPUT chain
3. -i eth0 - this tells iptables that we are making a rule which only
applies to this interface, in this case the first network card in my
machine, eth0
4. -p tcp - this tells me which protocol i'm dealing with, in this case i
want to allow tcp traffic across eth0 on the INPUT chain
5. --dport 27015 - this is the port I'm running my server on and i want tcp
connections allowed to it across eth0 on the INPUT chain
6. -m state - this is the stateful part of the rule, it means I can really
control what sort of packets are allowed into my server
7. --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED - these are actually three different
states and they don't all have to be used together. NEW means this rule will
allow NEW connection packets to establish a connection to the server.
ESTABLISHED means the packet already has an established connection with the
server and is allowed to proceed. RELATED means that the packet is related
to a connection already established but may be something different such as
an ICMP error. This is not needed for running hl game servers.
8. -j ACCEPT - this says basically says "if all these criteria are met then
jump off and do THIS, the "THIS" being ACCEPT, which allows the traffic
through.

You'd also want to add the same for the udp protocol so you'd make another
rule:

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 27015 -m state --state
NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

Anyways that's basically how it works.

You then save it by typing:

service iptables save

You'll find things may not be working since you put the rules in, research
how the apps on your server work and make exceptions to you rules
accordingly.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
Nathan

Thanks Nathan, gave me a bit better understanding.  Im using ipchains, but
it seems to be similar enough.

Looks like I'll leave OUTPUT at accept all, and DENY ALL on INPUT.  As far
as I can see all I need to let in is TCP 22 for SSH, TCP and UDP on port
2701x (what ever the server(s) are/is on) and TCP 27011 for the banlist

Only thing I am yet to work out is how to get the rules applied at boot
time.

As an "IT-guy" myself, there is no way in h... I would do this if I didnt
personally have an interest. Setting up a game server and keeping an eye on
it is some work. If one of the users around my place asked me to set up a
game server for them, I would laugh, and send them packing.

I dont give a damn about the security issue, it is easy to handle, doing
extra work for a simple user? lol

[hlds_linux] changelevel

[John Frings]

Hi, I set up a server on my slackware server for cstrike a couple of days
ago. I noticed that when the time for a map is up hlds_l says "map hldm1 not
found". I only have valid cstrike maps in the cstrike/maps folder and
mapcycle.txt in cstrike/ contains all the maps in the cstrike/maps folder. I
set it up just like I use to but this time there seems to be something weird
happening when the daemon is to change maps.

Anyone know whats wrong?

/John
