5/17/2023 0 Comments Iptables![]() ![]() nftables is the successor of iptables, it allows for much more flexible, scalable and performance packet classification. Each rule within an IP table consists of a number of classifiers (iptables matches) and one connected action (iptables target). Now after the FTP connection has been established and a data connection is about to be performed, client will open a server socket (yes, with active FTP client becomes a server for the data connection) on port 60000 (to my understanding client will mark this port 60000 as RELATED to the other connection from 50000->21) and will send this port number to server using the FTP PORT command. iptables is a generic firewalling software that allows you to define rulesets. The packet is starting a new connection, but is associated withĪn existing connection, such as an FTP data transfer or an ICMP Now on the client side, he opened an outgoing connection to server on port 21 using a local port 50000 and he needs the following iptables to allow the response to arrive from server (21) to client (50000): sudo iptables -A INPUT -m state -state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT ![]() iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s BLOCKADDRESS -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -s BLOCKADDRESS -j DROP. The packet is associated with a connection which has seen This will be useful if we want to block some IP address where they are downloading or trying to access the server, where we can block the IP for further investigation. The client on port 50000 (any random unprivileged port) connects to FTP server on port 21, the server would need at least this to accept this incoming connection: iptables -A INPUT -dport 21 -m state -state NEW -j ACCEPT With a connection which has not seen packets in both directions. NEW The packet has started a new connection or otherwise Asumming for both server and client a restrictive INPUT and open OUTPUT, i.e.: iptables -P INPUT DROPĪnd from iptables-extensions(8) over the example of FTP in active mode:
