      Hi all,

      I would like to add a new feature (max-src-conn, to limit the number of connection per source IP, I need it) to pfsense, and I am trying to create a dev environment using instructions http://devwiki.pfsense.org/DevelopersBootStrapAndDevIso.

      I found in the support mailing list an email from Scott saying freebsd 7.0 and 7.1 were no longer used for pfsense RELENG_1_2.  So I followed instructions from the wiki page, but from a freebsd 7.2 system.

      Instead of using the curses menu, I used :
      ./set_version.sh RELENG_1_2 cvsup2.ca.freebsd.org
      ./apply_kernel_patches.sh (no patch was rejected)
      ./build_iso.sh

      After a while, the process finished on :

      So I have an issue when the kernet is compiling. The log file is :

        That feature is under Advanced option in Firewall->Rules you do not need to build a new pfSense iso.

          Hi Ermal,

          @ermal:

          That feature is under Advanced option in Firewall->Rules you do not need to build a new pfSense iso.

          Thanks for your reply, but I do not think we are talking about the same feature. In "advanced options" of firewall rules, there is:

          • Simultaneous client connection limit: this a "global setting", which appllies to all incoming tcp connections. So this is not "per host". In PF, this setting is mapped to "max-src-nodes"

          • Maximum state entries per host: this one is per host, but all states of a tcp connection are matched. In PF, this settings is mapped to "max-src-states"

          • Maximum new connections / per second: connection rate, mapped to "max-conn-rate" PF setting

          • State timeout: mapped to "tcp.established" PF setting

          So I would like to add a new setting in theses advanced options, something like "simultaneous connection par host", and map it to "max-src-conn" in PF. This would be, for example, a basic way to protect an Apache HTTP server against the "slowloris" attack. According the PF man page, the description of "max-src-conn" is: "Limit the maximum number of simultaneous TCP connections which have completed the 3-way handshake that a single host can make"

          This feature has already been discussed 3 years ago, in the following thread : http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,81.msg3442.html

          In the last message of this thread, Scott Ullrich suggested to work on the GUI and the filter.inc file, and that's why I am trying to build a dev environement to work on this patch.

          Many thanks for your help,
          Pierre

            It is present in 2.0 that's why i said it is present.

            though all you need is find it on 2.0 code and enter manually in 1.2.3 since its just php modification and you do not need to rebuild the whole system.

                Hi,

                @ermal:

                It is present in 2.0 that's why i said it is present.

                though all you need is find it on 2.0 code and enter manually in 1.2.3 since its just php modification and you do not need to rebuild the whole system.

                I downloaded a 2.0 snapshot (pfSense-2.0-ALPHA-ALPHA-20090923-1117.iso, based on FreeBSD 8.0), and unfortunatly, the feature I talked about (max-src-conn) is not included. There is :

                • marking/matching options (news to 2.0)
                • max-src-node (already in 1.2)
                • max-src-states (already in 1.2)
                • max-src-conn-rates (already in 1.2)
                • state timeout

                However, with your advices, I was able to easily add this feature.

                • For 1.2, in /etc/inc/filter.inc and /usr/local/www/firewall_rules_edit.php
                • For 2.0, in /etc/inc/filter.inc, /usr/local/www/firewall_rules_edit.php, and /usr/local/www/firewall_rules.php

                It is really trivial.

                May it be interresting for the project that I try to submit the patch in rcs.pfsense.org ? (http://devwiki.pfsense.org/SubmittingPatches).

                Best regards,
                Pierre
