Subject: [strongSwan] How to block Netstat attacks from VPN users?<br>
<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
I had an interesting abuse notification that someone has run a netstat through our VPN.<br>
<br>
> time protocol src_ip src_port dest_ip dest_port<br>
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
> Tue Jul 30 13:38:01 2019 UDP 136.243.xxx.xxx 21346 => 172.20.10.17 21346<br>
> Tue Jul 30 13:38:01 2019 UDP 136.243.xxx.xxx 21346 => 172.20.10.19 21346<br>
<br>
I was wondering if there is a good way to block all VPN users from running hacker tools such as netstat (port scanning) altogether. Is there a reliable way to do that with iptables?<br>
<br>
I came across this snippet that should block port scans, but I'm not sure if that would block a VPN user after all since the VPN traffic is masqueraded.<br>
<br>
iptables -A port-scan -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,ACK,FIN,RST RST -m limit --limit 1/s -j RETURN<br>
iptables -A port-scan -j DROP --log-level 6<br>
iptables -A specific-rule-set -p tcp --syn -j syn-flood<br>
iptables -A specific-rule-set -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,ACK,FIN,RST RST -j port-scan<br>
<br>
Any suggestions, please?<br>
Many Thanks,<br>
Houman<br>
