Import an existing ssh key into YubiKey NEO PIV applet

yubico-piv-tool 1.4.0, Mac OS X 10.11.5

While you should generate your ssh keys on card or generate them on a sterile machine for escrow, you can also import an existing ssh key (usually found in ~/.ssh/id_rsa). Below is a walkthrough on how to do that. Be sure to import both the private and public side of your keypair; otherwise, ssh auth might not work. You should probably create an encrypted disk and chdir to that disk when changing the private key to pem form.

Private Key

rchapman@Macbook:~$ cd /Volumes/encrypted/ rchapman@Macbook:/Volumes/encrypted$ openssl rsa -in ~/.ssh/id_rsa -out id_rsa.pem -outform pem Enter pass phrase for /Users/rchapman/.ssh/id_rsa: writing RSA key rchapman@Macbook:/Volumes/encrypted$ head -1 id_rsa.pem -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- rchapman@Macbook:/Volumes/encrypted$ yubico-piv-tool -a import-key -s 9a -i id_rsa.pem Successfully imported a new private key. rchapman@Macbook:/Volumes/encrypted$ rm id_rsa.pem

Public Key

rchapman@Macbook:/Volumes/encrypted$ ssh-keygen -e -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -m PKCS8 > id_rsa.pub.pkcs8 rchapman@Macbook:/Volumes/encrypted$ head -1 id_rsa.pub.pkcs8 -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- rchapman@Macbook:/Volumes/encrypted$ ~/bin/yubico-piv-tool -a verify -P 123456 -a selfsign-certificate -s 9a -S "/CN=joe/O=Test/" -i id_rsa.pub.pkcs8 -o 9a-cert.pem rchapman@Macbook:/Volumes/encrypted$ ~/bin/yubico-piv-tool -a verify -P 123456 -a import-certificate -s 9a -i 9a-cert.pem ; ~/bin/yubico-piv-tool -a status Successfully verified PIN. Successfully imported a new certificate. CHUID: 3019...fe00 CCC: f015...fe00 Slot 9a: Algorithm: RSA2048 Subject DN: CN=joe, O=Test Issuer DN: CN=joe, O=Test Fingerprint: cf...46 Not Before: Jun 20 19:13:41 2016 GMT Not After: Jun 20 19:13:41 2017 GMT [...] PIN tries left: 15

Move .ssh/id_rsa and restart ssh-agent (otherwise it will be cached by the agent)

rchapman@Macbook:/Volumes/encrypted$ cd ~/.ssh rchapman@Macbook:~/.ssh$ mv id_rsa .. rchapman@Macbook:~/.ssh$ pkill ssh-agent rchapman@Macbook:~/.ssh$ sudo launchctl start org.openbsd.ssh-agent

Set PIN and PIN Retries

You should change the user PIN as well as the PIN Unlock Code (PUK) if you have not already. The YubiKey NEO asks for the PIN every time it signs a nonce (to log you into a ssh server). If you enter the PIN wrong a number of times (3 by default), then the PIN will be locked. You can then use the PUK to unlock the PIN. If you enter the PUK wrong a number of times (again, 3 by default), then the PIV applet will bulk erase it's memory, causing your private keys and certificates to be lost. At that point, you have to reset the PIV applet and re-populate the certs and private keys.

To change the PIN and PUK retries from 3 to 15:

rchapman@Macbook:~$ unset HISTFILE rchapman@Macbook:~$ ~/bin/yubico-piv-tool -a verify -P 123456 -a pin-retries --pin-retries 15 --puk-retries 15

Note that this step will also set the PIN and PUK codes back to factory default, so you'll need to change your PIN/PUK codes after doing this step if you already had PIN/PUK codes set.

To change the PIN and PUK: In this example, we are changing the PIN from the default value of 123456 to 987600 and the PUK from the default of 12345678 to 98761234

rchapman@Macbook:~$ ~/bin/yubico-piv-tool -a change-pin --pin 123456 --new-pin=987600 rchapman@Macbook:~$ ~/bin/yubico-piv-tool -a change-puk --pin 12345678 --new-pin=98761234

Change the management key Most security professionals would say you should change the management key as well. This is a 24 byte key which resides in slot 9B. If you forget it, you can still reset the PIV applet, which will reset the PIN, PUK, and 9B key back to defaults.

rchapman@Macbook:~$ ~/bin/yubico-piv-tool -a set-mgm-key -n 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678

Logout and log back in, then make sure the PIN, PUK and management key are not in ~/.bash_history

Key Escrow

If you want to encrypt the private key for storage in escrow:

rchapman@Macbook:~$ cat ~/id_rsa | gpg --symmetric | base64

One place where you could store the encrypted base-64 encoded private key would be the password field of a password manager like 1Password. To decrypt it later:

echo "base64string" | base64 -D | gpg --decrypt

Last steps

Later, when you are sure you are happy with the encrypted version of the file, remove your private key from your workstation (after all, the reason for putting your private key on a hardware token is to prevent someone from stealing it off disk).

rm ~/id_rsa id_rsa.pem

SSH with YubiKey NEO

YubiKey NEO, openssh 6.9, Mac OS X 10.11.5

Using a YubiKey NEO to store your ssh private key

Install opensc using brew or downloading a .dmg file from GitHub at https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/releases Find where the opensc-pkcs11 library is located. Linux tends to name the file opensc-pkcs11.so. Mac installs using brew also name the library file opensc-pkcs11.so. Another possibility on Mac is opensc-pkcs11.dylib.

$ find /Library /usr/local/Cellar /lib /lib64 /usr/lib /usr/lib64 -name opensc-pkcs11.dylib -o -name opensc-pkcs11.so 2>/dev/null

So that ssh knows to use the YubiKey NEO for authentication, add the following to the top of your ~/.ssh/config file:

PKCS11Provider /usr/local/Cellar/opensc/0.15.0/lib/opensc-pkcs11.so

If you generated the keypair on card rather than importing it, you'll need to get the public key off the YubiKey NEO so that you can copy it to remote ssh servers in your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file:

$ printf "$(ssh-keygen -D /usr/local/Cellar/opensc/0.15.0/lib/opensc-pkcs11.so 2>/dev/null) $USER-yubikey-1\n"

When attempting to ssh to a machine with your YubiKey public key in the authorized_keys file, you should be prompted to enter your YubiKey PIN, which will cause the YubiKey to sign the nonce (request) and send it back to the ssh server for login:

$ ssh [email protected] Enter PIN for 'PIV_II (PIV Card Holder pin)': [email protected]:~$

The order that ssh looks for keys to use when logging into remote servers is: 1. public key authentication: PKCS11Providers (for example, YubiKey NEO) 2. public key authentication: ~/.ssh/id_dsa 3. public key authentication: ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa 4. public key authentication: ~/.ssh/id_rsa 5. password authentication

Making Multiple SSH Connections Without Having to Retype PIN Each Time

Under normal circumstances, when you log into a remote server, the ssh daemon on the server generates a random nonce and sends that to the ssh client to be signed with the private key and the result transmitted back. The ssh daemon then checks each public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to see if any match. If they do, you are allowed to log in. If your private key is stored on disk (in ~/.ssh), then you never realize that a nonce is being signed and sent back to the ssh daemon. By design, the YubiKey will require you to enter your PIN each time it signs a nonce. This can become a nuisance when you need to log into the same server many many times (for example when using an automated script). ssh has a feature called multiplexing which comes in handy when using a YubiKey for ssh authentication. Once you have signed into a server via ssh, multiplexing will let your subsequent logins to the same machine succeed without having to re-enter the PIN.

To enable multiplexing, add this to your ~/.ssh/config file:

Host * ControlPath ~/.ssh/conns/%r@%h:%p ControlMaster auto ControlPersist 1

You'll need to create the directory multiplexing will use:

$ mkdir -p ~/.ssh/conns/

YubiKey NEO for Physical Access Control

After discovering that many physical access control systems are not secure (for example, proximity cards based on 125kHz), I wanted to figure out if there was a system based on public key crypto, which would be secure. Turns out there is. The U.S. Government has been using physical access control systems based on public key crypto for years. NIST designed the system and called it PIV for Personal Identity Verification. Unfortunately, information on this technology is extremely hard to come by. I started by trying to get info from the PIV card manufacturers, but found they have no interest in speaking to anyone unless they are purchasing a large quantity of cards. Even though I had $1000 in hand I was willing to spend to get a PIV card software dev kit, my requests went unanswered.

I continued to research options and realized that the YubiKey NEO is actually a Java Card, same as the PIV cards being used by government. Yubico had the foresight to realize PIV could be useful, and they include a PIV applet with the NEO. So after some reading of the NIST specs and some help from the excellent people at HID Global and Yubico, I was able to glue the pieces together and get a system working. It's been a fun hobby for the past six months.

It could probably be done with any number of vendor's solutions, but I used HID's pivCLASS system along with Genetec for the physical access control system.

A full write-up with detailed instructions is available at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fOFzxfpgi8P-HVRdtnWiTNGCDRgeXcvorEqoSXA_4sE

Some code for generating the certificates and populating a YubiKey NEO can be found on GitHub.

I also made a video of a traditional PIV card opening the same pivCLASS system:

Enjoy. If you have questions or suggestions for improvement, please send me a message.

Smart card: installing Hello World on a Gemalto IDPrime PIV 2.0 card

GlobalPlatformPro, Gemalto IDPrime PIV 2.0 card, Gemalto IDBridge CL3000 Dual Interface Smart Card Reader, Ubuntu 14.4

Information on how to load your own applets onto a Gemalto PIV card are hard to come by, so below is a quick write up of how to do it. This also gets you GlobalPlatform access to the card, which is difficult to figure out due to little documentation available on the key diversification used. The spec sheet for the Gemalto IDPrime PIV 2.0 card can be found here.

Make sure your smart card reader is attached. If it isn't you may have to restart pcscd to get it to show up:

rchapman@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ opensc-tool -l No smart card readers found. rchapman@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ sudo service pcscd restart [sudo] password for rchapman: * Restarting PCSC Lite resource manager pcscd [ OK ] rchapman@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ opensc-tool -l # Detected readers (pcsc) Nr.

Make sure you can list the applets on the card. Be careful, some cards will lock you out if you fail to authenticate to the card a certain number of times. From my experience with the Gemalto card I bought from the Gemalto WEB store, it didn't lock me out even though it took me over a hundred attempts to get the auth working. The key below works with the Gemalto IDPrime PIV 2.0 cards I purchased from the Gemalto WEB store as well as smartcardfocus.us.

Securely allowing rancid to back up IOS configs

Cisco IOS-XE 3.7, rancid-git 2.3.9 on Ubuntu 14.4, git 1.9.1

I use rancid to back up configs of network devices, but giving an automated process like rancid full access to switches, routers, and firewalls is a horrible idea. If someone breaks into the Linux rancid account (or wherever the rancid program runs), they pretty much own your network because the rancid scripts either have the password or ssh private key for logging into network devices.

You don't have to give rancid full access to IOS though. You can configure a privilege level to provide just what rancid needs to backup the configs and nothing more. There is still a security risk because rancid can see password hashes, so you should make sure your users use strong passwords. You can just generate random strong passwords for users rather than letting them choose passwords.

Configure privilege level 2 to allow only the commands rancid needs:

privilege exec level 2 dir /all bootflash: privilege exec level 2 dir /all disk0: privilege exec level 2 dir /all disk1: privilege exec level 2 dir /all disk2: privilege exec level 2 dir /all harddisk: privilege exec level 2 dir /all harddiska: privilege exec level 2 dir /all harddiskb: privilege exec level 2 dir /all nvram: privilege exec level 2 dir /all sec-bootflash: privilege exec level 2 dir /all sec-disk0: privilege exec level 2 dir /all sec-disk1: privilege exec level 2 dir /all sec-disk2: privilege exec level 2 dir /all sec-nvram: privilege exec level 2 dir /all sec-slot0: privilege exec level 2 dir /all sec-slot1: privilege exec level 2 dir /all sec-slot2: privilege exec level 2 dir /all slavebootflash: privilege exec level 2 dir /all slavedisk0: privilege exec level 2 dir /all slavedisk1: privilege exec level 2 dir /all slavedisk2: privilege exec level 2 dir /all slavenvram: privilege exec level 2 dir /all slavenslot0: privilege exec level 2 dir /all slavenslot1: privilege exec level 2 dir /all slavenslot2: privilege exec level 2 dir /all slavesup-bootflash: privilege exec level 2 dir /all slavesup-slot0: privilege exec level 2 dir /all slavesup-slot1: privilege exec level 2 dir /all slavesup-slot2: privilege exec level 2 dir /all sup-bootdisk: privilege exec level 2 dir /all sup-bootflash: privilege exec level 2 dir /all sup-microcode: privilege exec level 2 more system:running-config privilege exec level 2 show boot privilege exec level 2 show bootvar privilege exec level 2 show c7200 privilege exec level 2 show capture privilege exec level 2 show controllers privilege exec level 2 show controllers cbus privilege exec level 2 show crypto pki certificates privilege exec level 2 show debug privilege exec level 2 show diag privilege exec level 2 show diag chassis-info privilege exec level 2 show diagbus privilege exec level 2 show env all privilege exec level 2 show flash privilege exec level 2 show gsr chassis privilege exec level 2 show idprom backplane privilege exec level 2 show install active privilege exec level 2 show interface privilege exec level 2 show inventory raw privilege exec level 2 show ip interface privilege exec level 2 show ipv6 interface privilege exec level 2 show module privilege exec level 2 show redundancy secondary privilege exec level 2 show rsp chassis-info privilege exec level 2 show running-config privilege exec level 2 show running-config view full privilege exec level 2 show shun privilege exec level 2 show snmp engineID privilege exec level 2 show snmp mib ifmib ifindex privilege exec level 2 show spe version privilege exec level 2 show standby privilege exec level 2 show variables boot privilege exec level 2 show variables boot privilege exec level 2 show version privilege exec level 2 show vlan privilege exec level 2 show vlan-switch privilege exec level 2 show vtp status privilege exec level 2 write term

In my testing, this was enough for the rancid program (I use the git fork at https://github.com/dotwaffle/rancid-git) to download the configuration from IOS devices and push them to the git repo.

Loading an openssh pubkey on Cisco IOS

Mac OS X 10.10.5, Cisco IOS-XE 3.7, JunOS 12.3R6.6

I work primarily on a Mac and want to be able to ssh to Cisco IOS equipment with ssh keys; however, Cisco does not make it easy to load keys. On JunOS, this is as easy as:

Cisco IOS is a pain in comparison, requiring you to break the key up into lines of no more than 256 characters. When someone hands me their ssh pubkey, I don't want to have to manually break it up into appropriately sized lines, so I wrote a quick bash snippet to do it. This snippet was tested and worked on Mac OS X as well as Ubuntu 14.4 Linux:

IOS_USERNAME=test; KEYFILE=/tmp/id_rsa.pub LANG=C; IOS_PASSWORD=$(cat /dev/random | perl -pe 's/[^A-Za-z0-9]//g' | fold -w $((RANDOM%10+20)) | head -n 1); printf "\nusername $IOS_USERNAME privilege 1 secret $IOS_PASSWORD\nip ssh pubkey-chain\n username $IOS_USERNAME\n key-string\n"; cat ${KEYFILE} | fold -w200 ; printf " exit\n exit\n\n"

That creates an account for the user test, with the pubkey file in /tmp/id_rsa.pub, a random length password (at least 20 characters, but less than 30) for password authentication, and a privilege level of 1. Change the priv to 15 if you want to have all privileges. It splits the key up into lines that are a max of 200 characters just to be safe, even though the documentation says 256 is the max.

ASA: DAP Lua function list

ASA 9.4.2 (which has Lua 5.0.2), AnyConnect 4.0 on iOS

On the internets, I haven't been able to locate a list of Lua functions available for use with Dynamic Access Policies (DAP) on Cisco's ASA firewall. So I decided to just use Lua running on the ASA to tell me what functions and variables are in global scope. Not quite as good as documentation, but it works for now.

To set it up it, open ASDM and

Go to Configuration > Remote Access VPN > Dynamic Access Policies

Add

Policy Name: list_globals

Description: prints a list of Lua globals to the ASA CLI

ACL Priority: 50 (or whatever priority you want to assign)

User had ALL of the following AAA Attribute values...

Add (AAA attribute)

AAA Attribute Type: Cisco

Username: rchapmandap (replace with the username you use to sign into AnyConnect)

OK

Click Advanced below the AAA Attributes

Paste in this code:

assert(function() DEBUG_DAP_TRACE("============\n") DEBUG_DAP_TRACE("GLOBALS\n") for k,v in pairs(_G) do msg = "k=" .. print_value(k) .. ", v=" if (type(v) == "function" or type(v) == "table") then msg = msg .. tostring(v) elseif (type(v) == "string" or type(v) == "number") then msg = msg .. v elseif (type(v) == "boolean") then if (v) then msg = msg .. "true" else msg = msg .. "false" end end msg = msg .. " (" .. type(v) .. ")\n" DEBUG_DAP_TRACE(msg) end return true end)()

For Action, make sure Continue is selected

Now that you have it set up, just need to turn dap tracing on in the CLI and log into AnyConnect one time

Log into the ASA CLI

Enable dap trace debugging

fw1/pri/act# debug dap trace debug dap trace enabled at level 1

Open AnyConnect VPN Client on a device and log in to the VPN so that the DAP rules fire once. Log in make take longer than normal as the DAP trace logs to the CLI.

In the ASA CLI, you'll see something like this:

fw1/pri/act# DAP_TRACE: DAP_open: New DAP Request: A4 DAP_TRACE: Username: rchapmandap, DAP_add_SCEP: scep required = [FALSE] DAP_TRACE: Username: rchapmandap, DAP_add_AC:

ASA: debugging AnyConnect and radius

Ubuntu 14.04 (Linux 3.13.0-48), freeradius 2.1.12, ASA 9.4.2 (which runs Lua 5.0.2), AnyConnect 4.2

Setting up communications between an ASA and a radius server can be tricky, because it's hard to know what attributes the radius server is sending back and are being applied to a user session. One method is to use wireshark to capture the communications between the ASA and radius server. Another is to enable debugging on the ASA with debug dap trace. An easier way is to just have the attributes printed out on the end-user device when they log in.

The dynamic access policy feature of the ASA will let you input Lua functions to get this information. Open ASDM and go to

Configuration

Remote Access VPN

Network (Client) Access

Dynamic Access Policies

Click Add

Policy Name: debug

Priority: 1 (or whatever works in your environment)

In the Selection Criteria area, click Advanced

Make sure AND is selected. In the Logical Expressions box, enter:

assert(function() function print_table(tbl, prefix) if (type(tbl) == "table") then for k,v in pairs(tbl) do if (type(v) == "table") then print_table(v, prefix .. "." .. k) else CheckAndMsg(true, prefix .. "." .. k .. "=\"" .. v .. "\"", "") end end end end CheckAndMsg(true, "============", "") CheckAndMsg(true, "DEBUG", "") print_table(aaa, "aaa") print_table(endpoint, "endpoint") return true end)()

Click OK to close the Add Dynamic Access Policy window, then click Apply

Now, if you log in to AnyConnect on a device, you'll notice that a dropdown message box appears and shows you the values of the AV pairs.

You might want to be able to toggle the display of the debug message from a freeradius server. That will allow you to turn it on when a user calls in and reports problems and you need to know what settings are being applied to their account.

On the freeradius server, change their user record and add Reply-Message = "debug_print". Note that you could use any attribute you want, but I know that Reply-Message does work.

test Cleartext-Password := "test123" Class = "OU=Test_VPN;", Reply-Message = "debug_print"

Back in ASDM, go to the debug policy you created earlier and change it so that it only fires when Reply-Message = "debug_print"

OK and Apply

ASA: Deny IP due to Land Attack from a.b.c.d to a.b.c.d

ASA 5516-X in HA pair, ASA 9.5(1)

On an ASA I help manage, the logs were full of messages like "Deny IP due to Land Attack from 1.2.3.4 to 1.2.3.4". A Land attack is defined as when a packet is received that has the same source and destination IP addresses. Some definitions also say that the source and destination ports will match, but that was not true in my case.

Reproducing the issue

To reproduce the issue, I first got my public IP address, which is 1.2.3.4

rchapman@linux:~$ curl icanhazip.com 1.2.3.4

Next, I set up the ASA to capture all packets it drops

fw1/pri/act# capture cap1 type asp-drop all circular-buffer fw1/pri/act#

Then I set up a loop to attempt a connect to my public IP address on a strange port (8955) so that I can search for it in the packet capture on the ASA later.

rchapman@linux:~$ while true; do date; nc -w 1 1.2.3.4 8955; sleep 1s; done Wed Oct 28 20:20:07 EDT 2015 Wed Oct 28 20:20:09 EDT 2015 Wed Oct 28 20:20:11 EDT 2015 [...] ^C rchapman@linux:~$

The logs confirm that I reproduced the issue

fw1/pri/act# sh log | i Land Oct 28 2015 20:20:07: %ASA-2-106017: Deny IP due to Land Attack from 1.2.3.4 to 1.2.3.4 Oct 28 2015 20:44:09: %ASA-2-106017: Deny IP due to Land Attack from 1.2.3.4 to 1.2.3.4 Oct 28 2015 20:44:11: %ASA-2-106017: Deny IP due to Land Attack from 1.2.3.4 to 1.2.3.4 [...]

Looking for the dropped packets, I would expect the ASA to say the reason was a Land Attack since that's what the logs say. Nope, it just says the reason is sp-security-failed.

fw1/pri/act# sh capture cap1 | i 8955 28: 20:20:07.518924 172.16.230.24.33730 > 1.2.3.4.8955: S 2198057225:2198057225(0) win 29200 Drop-reason: (sp-security-failed) Slowpath security checks failed 207: 20:20:09.527835 172.16.230.24.33736 > 1.2.3.4.8955: S 4274950959:4274950959(0) win 29200 Drop-reason: (sp-security-failed) Slowpath security checks failed 290: 20:20:11.536089 172.16.230.24.33742 > 1.2.3.4.8955: S 4072781874:4072781874(0) win 29200 Drop-reason: (sp-security-failed) Slowpath security checks failed [...]

The packet capture shows the source interface before any NAT happened. Let's check packet tracer to see if the ASA is NATing the session

It is. Phase 4 of the packet trace shows a translation from 172.16.230.24/33885 to 1.2.3.4/33885

The fix

Put a NONAT (NAT exemption) rule in place

fw1/pri/act# sh run object id ny-monitor object network linux1 subnet 172.16.230.24 255.255.255.254 fw1/pri/act# fw1/pri/act# sh run object id PAT_Pool object network PAT_Pool range 1.2.3.4 1.2.3.90 fw1/pri/act# fw1/pri/act# nat (inside,outside) source static linux1 linux1 destination static PAT_Pool PAT_Pool no-proxy-arp route-lookup

What this says is "if the source ip address is 172.16.230.24 and the destination ip address is in the range 1.2.3.4 through 1.2.3.90," then ignore this NAT rule:

fw1/pri/act# sh run nat [...] object network linux1 nat (inside,outside) static PAT_Pool

I tested by again creating lots of connections to 1.2.3.4 from the linux machine and now I don't see Land Attack messages in the ASA system log. Another packet trace confirms that the NAT exclusion is working.

Getting shell on a RouterBoard

Cloud Router Switch CRS125-24G-1S-RM, RouterOS 6.24, Mac OS X 10.8.5 (dhcpd/tftp running on Mac)

Ever wondered if you could get a real shell on a RouterBoard? The answer is yes, yes you can. I recently wanted to know how RouterOS on a Mikrotik CRS125-24G-1S-RM actually sets up VLANs internally so that I can duplicate a complicated set up that I already have on a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter. Below is how to get a busybox shell via ssh or the console. Once you are in, you'll see that the busybox included is pretty limited; however, you can upload a fully operational busybox via the RouterOS web admin interface (WebFig) and then execute that one. With the new busybox, things like ifconfig, dmesg, ls, vconfig, and many more will work.

1. Choose a machine that you want to serve the openwrt boot image.

2. Configure your wired ethernet interface to have an IP address of 192.168.88.5 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0

3. Download the openwrt image I compiled for booting into a CRS125 from https://github.com/ryanchapman/openwrt-mikrotik-crs125/raw/master/bin/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf into /Users/ryan/tftpboot/vmlinux

4. Modify your tftp plist file to look like this:

Ryans-MacBook-Pro:~ ryan$ cat /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Disabled</key> <true/> <key>Label</key> <string>com.apple.tftpd</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/usr/libexec/tftpd</string> <string>-i<string> <string>/Users/ryan/tftpboot</string> </array> <key>inetdCompatibility</key> <dict> <key>Wait</key> <true/> </dict> <key>InitGroups</key> <true/> <key>Sockets</key> <dict> <key>Listeners</key> <dict> <key>SockServiceName</key> <string>tftp</string> <key>SockType</key> <string>dgram</string> </dict> </dict> </dict> </plist> Ryans-MacBook-Pro:~ ryan$

5. Load the tftp plist file and start the tftp server:

sudo launchctl load -F /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist sudo launchctl start com.apple.tftpd

6. Create a dhcpd config file

Ryans-MacBook-Pro:~ ryan$ cat /etc/dhcpd.conf ddns-update-style interim; # option definitions common to all supported networks... #default-lease-time 600; default-lease-time 14400; max-lease-time 7200; authoritative; allow bootp; allow booting; subnet 192.168.88.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { filename "vmlinux"; next-server 192.168.88.5; range dynamic-bootp 192.168.88.15 192.168.88.254; } Ryans-MacBook-Pro:~ ryan$

7. Start the dhcp daemon with

sudo dhcpd -d en0

(replace en0 with your wired ethernet interface on your Mac, use ifconfig if unsure)

Ryans-MacBook-Pro:~ ryan$ sudo dhcpd -d en0 dyld: DYLD_ environment variables being ignored because main executable (/usr/bin/sudo) is setuid or setgid Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server 4.1-ESV-R4 Copyright 2004-2011 Internet Systems Consortium. All rights reserved. For info, please visit https://www.isc.org/software/dhcp/ Wrote 3 leases to leases file. Listening on BPF/en0/00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX/192.168.88.0/24 Sending on BPF/en0/00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX/192.168.88.0/24 Sending on Socket/fallback/fallback-net

If you see output like above and no errors, exit dhcpd with Ctrl-C then type sudo dhcpd en0 & to get it to run in the background. You may have to press enter a few times to get a prompt to show up again.

8. Attach an ethernet cable to port 1 on the CRS125 and plug the other end into your Mac running dhcpd

9. Connect a cable to the console port of the CRS125 and the other end to a serial port on your Mac (I'm using a Asunflower FTDI USB-to-console cable which you can find on Amazon for less than $20)

10. Install kermit with brew install kermit (visit http://brew.sh if you don't have brew)

11. Start kermit and connect to the console port.

12. Now power on your MikroTik CRS125. You'll have to press any key when prompted on boot to change the boot order, so be ready. You'll change the boot order by pressing o, e, x as you'll see below.

RouterBOOT booter 3.19 CRS125-24G-1S CPU frequency: 600 MHz Memory speed: 200 MHz Memory size: 128 MiB NAND size: 128 MiB Press any key within 2 seconds to enter setup RouterBOOT-3.19 What do you want to configure? d - boot delay k - boot key s - serial console n - silent boot o - boot device f - cpu frequency r - reset booter configuration e - format nand w - repartition nand g - upgrade firmware i - board info p - boot protocol b - booter options t - do memory testing x - exit setup your choice: o - boot device Select boot device: * e - boot over Ethernet n - boot from NAND, if fail then Ethernet 1 - boot Ethernet once, then NAND o - boot from NAND only b - boot chosen device f - boot Flash Configure Mode 3 - boot Flash Configure Mode once, then NAND your choice: o - boot from NAND only RouterBOOT-3.19 What do you want to configure? d - boot delay k - boot key s - serial console n - silent boot o - boot device f - cpu frequency r - reset booter configuration e - format nand w - repartition nand g - upgrade firmware i - board info p - boot protocol b - booter options t - do memory testing x - exit setup your choice: x - exit setup writing settings to flash... OK

18. The CRS125 will boot again, but this time it will boot RouterOS that is on NAND. If you see an error message, unplug the CRS125 from power and plug it back in for a fresh boot. If all goes well, you'll see a RouterOS login:

MikroTik 6.24 MikroTik Login:

19. Log in with the username 'devel'. For the password, use the same password as is on the 'admin' account, which by default is empty (as in nothing, just press enter):

MikroTik 6.24 MikroTik Login: devel Password: BusyBox v1.00 (2014.12.09-08:43+0000) Built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. #

20. Interestingly, the BusyBox provided by RouterOS is extremely limited. It doesn't even have the ls command

# ls bash: ls: not found #

21. No worries, echo * does the same thing:

# echo * MikroTik-19700102-0016.backup auto-before-reset.backup autosupout.old.rif autosupout.rif pub skins # pwd /flash/rw/pckg #

22. This is pretty hard to use, so download a precompiled busybox for the mips architecture that has more applets enabled. Download http://www.busybox.net/downloads/binaries/latest/busybox-mips to your Mac

23. Log into WebFig by visiting http://192.168.88.1/

24. Go to Files on the left hand side, and beside Upload:, press the Choose File button. Select the busybox binary you downloaded in step 21.

25. Back in the RouterOS console, move busybox to /flash/bin because that is already in the PATH environment variable. Also set the executable bit on busybox-mips so we can run it

# echo $PATH /sbin:/flash//bin:/bin # # # echo * MikroTik-19700102-0016.backup auto-before-reset.backup autosupout.old.rif autosupout.rif busybox-mips pub skins # # mv busybox-mips /flash/bin # # cd /flash/bin/ # chmod +x /flash/bin/busybox-mips #

26. Now if you run busybox-mips from any directory, you'll get a list of available applets in this busybox executable

See source distribution for full notice. Usage: busybox [function] [arguments]... or: function [arguments]... BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix utilities into a single executable. Most people will create a link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox will act like whatever it was invoked as. Currently defined functions: [, [[, acpid, addgroup, adduser, adjtimex, arp, arping, ash, awk, basename, bbconfig, beep, blkid, brctl, bunzip2, bzcat, bzip2, cal, cat, catv, chat, chattr, chgrp, chmod, chown, chpasswd, chpst, chroot, chrt, chvt, cksum, clear, cmp, comm, cp, cpio, crond, crontab, cryptpw, cttyhack, cut, date, dc, dd, deallocvt, delgroup, deluser, depmod, devmem, df, dhcprelay, diff, dirname, dmesg, dnsd, dnsdomainname, dos2unix, dpkg, dpkg-deb, du, dumpkmap, dumpleases, echo, ed, egrep, eject, env, envdir, envuidgid, ether-wake, expand, expr, fakeidentd, false, fbset, fbsplash, fdflush, fdformat, fdisk, fgrep, find, findfs, flashcp, fold, free, freeramdisk, fsck, fsck.minix, fsync, ftpd, ftpget, ftpput, fuser, getopt, getty, grep, gunzip, gzip, halt, hd, hdparm, head, hexdump, hostid, hostname, httpd, hush, hwclock, id, ifconfig, ifdown, ifenslave, ifplugd, ifup, inetd, init, insmod, install, ionice, ip, ipaddr, ipcalc, ipcrm, ipcs, iplink, iproute, iprule, iptunnel, kbd_mode, kill, killall, killall5, klogd, lash, last, length, less, linux32, linux64, linuxrc, ln, loadfont, loadkmap, logger, login, logname, logread, losetup, lpd, lpq, lpr, ls, lsattr, lsmod, lspci, lsusb, lzmacat, lzop, lzopcat, makedevs, makemime, man, md5sum, mdev, mesg, microcom, mkdir, mkdosfs, mkfifo, mkfs.minix, mkfs.reiser, mkfs.vfat, mknod, mkpasswd, mkswap, mktemp, modprobe, more, mount, mountpoint, msh, mt, mv, nameif, nc, netstat, nice, nmeter, nohup, nslookup, ntpd, od, openvt, passwd, pgrep, pidof, ping, ping6, pipe_progress, pivot_root, pkill, popmaildir, poweroff, printenv, printf, ps, pscan, pwd, raidautorun, rdate, rdev, readahead, readlink, readprofile, realpath, reboot, reformime, renice, reset, resize, rm, rmdir, rmmod, route, rpm, rpm2cpio, rtcwake, run-parts, runlevel, runsv, runsvdir, rx, script, scriptreplay, sed, sendmail, seq, setarch, setconsole, setfont, setkeycodes, setlogcons, setsid, setuidgid, sh, sha1sum, sha256sum, sha512sum, showkey, slattach, sleep, softlimit, sort, split, start-stop-daemon, stat, strings, stty, su, sulogin, sum, sv, svlogd, swapoff, swapon, switch_root, sync, sysctl, syslogd, tac, tail, tar, tcpsvd, tee, telnet, telnetd, test, tftp, tftpd, time, timeout, top, touch, tr, traceroute, traceroute6, true, tty, ttysize, tunctl, udhcpc, udhcpd, udpsvd, umount, uname, uncompress, unexpand, uniq, unix2dos, unlzma, unlzop, unzip, uptime, usleep, uudecode, uuencode, vconfig, vi, vlock, volname, wall, watch, watchdog, wc, wget, which, who, whoami, xargs, yes, zcat, zcip

27. The next part is a pain. You have to create a symbolic link for each applet you want to be able to use. For example, if you want ls to work, make sure you are in the /flash/bin directory and create a symlink for ls pointing to busybox-mips

# pwd /flash/bin # ln -s busybox-mips ls #

28. Now ls works

# ls busybox-mips ls #

29. Let's do the same for some other interesting commands on a router:

# ln -s busybox-mips ifconfig # ln -s busybox-mips brctl # ln -s busybox-mips ps # ln -s busybox-mips top # ln -s busybox-mips netstat # ln -s busybox-mips lspci # ln -s busybox-mips route # ln -s

Hmm, I always thought the DNS resolver on MikroTik was dnsmasq under the covers. Guess not.

There you go. Root shell on a MikroTik, step-by-step. If you uncover interesting details about the underlying system, be sure to let me know.

I'm in the process of setting up wifi to use one of the more secure authentication methods, EAP-TLS (well, more secure than WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK). WPA-Enterprise with 802.1x using EAP-TLS uses the same mechanism that protects web sites, TLS.  Anyway, I followed the great instructions Thomas Hruska put together at http://cubicspot.blogspot.com/2013/04/setting-up-wpa2-enterprise-aes-with.html but it wouldn't work.  After figuring out the problem, I set out to document here the troubleshooting steps.

First, I stopped freeradius with service freeradius stop and restarted it with freeradius -X (you can also start it with freeradius -Xx to get even more debugging info).

Attempting authentication with a Windows computer was becoming time-consuming, so I downloaded wpa_supplicant and compiled the eapol_test program, which can simulate a client authentication attempt from the same machine freeradius is running on.

To compile eapol_test:

Download wpa_supplicant

root@freeradius-vagrant:/tmp# wget http://w1.fi/releases/wpa_supplicant-2.4.tar.gz --2015-07-02 16:17:56-- http://w1.fi/releases/wpa_supplicant-2.4.tar.gz Resolving w1.fi (w1.fi)... 212.71.239.96 Connecting to w1.fi (w1.fi)|212.71.239.96|:80... connected.

root@freeradius-vagrant:/tmp# tar zxvf wpa_supplicant-2.4.tar.gz wpa_supplicant-2.4/ wpa_supplicant-2.4/wpa_supplicant/ wpa_supplicant-2.4/wpa_supplicant/wpas_glue.c [...] wpa_supplicant-2.4/wpa_supplicant/eapol_test.c [...]

Change to the wpa_supplicant directory where eapol_test.c lives

root@freeradius-vagrant:/tmp# cd wpa_supplicant-2.4/wpa_supplicant/

Copy the default config to .config, which is where make(1) expects it to be

root@freeradius-vagrant:/tmp/wpa_supplicant-2.4/wpa_supplicant# cp defconfig .config

Compile eapol_test

root@freeradius-vagrant:/tmp/wpa_supplicant-2.4/wpa_supplicant# make eapol_test CC config.c CC notify.c [...] CC ../src/utils/ip_addr.c LD eapol_test

Copy eapol_test to root's home directory

root@freeradius-vagrant:/tmp/wpa_supplicant-2.4/wpa_supplicant# cp eapol_test ~

Now that you have the eapol_test binary compiled, you need a config file to feed to it. Following Thomas' directory scheme (see above for his tutorial), we'll put it in /var/certs/freeradius/

root@freeradius-vagrant:/tmp/wpa_supplicant-2.4/wpa_supplicant# cd /var/certs/freeradius/ root@freeradius-vagrant:/var/certs/freeradius# USER_NAME=`grep emailAddress client.cnf | grep '@' | sed 's/.*=//;s/^ *//'`; PASSWORD_CLIENT=`grep output_password client.cnf | sed 's/.*=//;s/^ *//'`; cat <eapol_test-eaptls.conf > network={ > ssid="DoesNotMatterForThisTest" > key_mgmt=WPA-EAP > eap-TLS > identity="${USER_NAME}" > ca_cert="/var/certs/freeradius/ca.pem" > client_cert="/var/certs/freeradius/${USER_NAME}.pem" > private_key="/var/certs/freeradius/client.key" > private_key_passwd="${PASSWORD_CLIENT}" > eapol_flags=3 > } > EOF

In a different terminal, start up freeradius with

freeradius -X

Attempt an authentication

root@freeradius-vagrant:/var/certs/freeradius# ~/eapol_test -a10.0.2.15 -p1812 -sSEKRET -ceapol_test-eaptls.conf -r0 Reading configuration file 'eapol_test-eaptls.conf' Line: 1 - start of a new network block ssid - hexdump_ascii(len=24): 44 6f 65 73 4e 6f 74 4d 61 74 74 65 72 46 6f 72 DoesNotMatterFor 54 68 69 73 54 65 73 74 ThisTest key_mgmt: 0x1 [...] EAP: deinitialize previously used EAP method (13, TLS) at EAP deinit ENGINE: engine deinit MPPE keys OK: 0 mismatch: 1 FAILURE

So we got a FAILURE. Back in the freeradius window, I see that the cert could not be verified

I wonder why. My certs are in /etc/freeradius

root@freeradius-vagrant:/etc/freeradius/certs# ls -l total 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root freerad 28 Jun 24 20:08 ca.pem -> /var/certs/freeradius/ca.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 root freerad 245 Jun 22 22:15 dh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root freerad 32 Jun 24 20:08 server.key -> /var/certs/freeradius/server.key lrwxrwxrwx 1 root freerad 32 Jun 24 20:08 server.pem -> /var/certs/freeradius/server.pem

and they can be read by the freerad user (the user the freeradius daemon is running as)

root@freeradius-vagrant:/etc/freeradius/certs# ls -l /var/certs/freeradius/ca.pem /var/certs/freeradius/server.key /var/certs/freeradius/server.pem -rw-r----- 1 root ssl-cert 2419 Jun 24 23:25 /var/certs/freeradius/ca.pem -rw-r----- 1 root ssl-cert 3394 Jun 24 23:26 /var/certs/freeradius/server.key -rw-r----- 1 root ssl-cert 5878 Jun 24 23:26 /var/certs/freeradius/server.pem

The freerad user is a member of the ssl-cert group, so it can read the certs directory files ok

root@freeradius-vagrant:/etc/freeradius/certs# groups freerad freerad : freerad shadow ssl-cert

Next step is to travel down the rabbit hole of why freeradius cannot verify the client certificate. I do know that freeradius relies on the openssl package to do cert verification, so maybe it is executing openssl. If it is, then strace will catch the command freeradius is running.

and execute eapol_test again

Excellent, another failure

Back in the window where freeradius and strace are running, looking at the file /tmp/tt where strace wrote all execve(2) system call invocations, I see that it did in fact execute openssl to verify the client cert.

Now I can do the exact same thing freeradius did, by asking openssl to verify my client cert. Let's see what it says

root@freeradius-vagrant:/var/certs/freeradius# USER_NAME=`grep emailAddress client.cnf | grep '@' | sed 's/.*=//;s/^ *//'`; /usr/bin/openssl verify -CApath /etc/freeradius/certs ${USER_NAME}.pem [email protected]: C = US, ST = Montana, O = "XXXXXX, Inc.", CN = [email protected], emailAddress = [email protected] error 20 at 0 depth lookup:unable to get local issuer certificate

Searching Google for openssl unable to get local issuer certificate returns the page https://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/verify.html. That page is simply the man page for openssl verify, and the -CApath option tells me the problem and the solution:

-CApath directory A directory of trusted certificates. The certificates should have names of the form: hash.0 or have symbolic links to them of this form ("hash" is the hashed certificate subject name: see the -hash option of the x509 utility). Under Unix the c_rehash script will automatically create symbolic links to a directory of certificates.

It can't really be that simple. Let's try running c_rehash in /etc/freeradius/certs

root@freeradius-vagrant:/etc/freeradius/certs# c_rehash . Doing . server.pem => 6eacae23.0 server.pem => d01a9214.0 ca.pem => 433869d5.0 ca.pem => c34814f6.0 root@freeradius-vagrant:/etc/freeradius/certs# cd /var/certs/freeradius/ root@freeradius-vagrant:/var/certs/freeradius# USER_NAME=`grep emailAddress client.cnf | grep '@' | sed 's/.*=//;s/^ *//'`; /usr/bin/openssl verify -CApath /etc/freeradius/certs ${USER_NAME}.pem [email protected]: OK

Woohoo! That seems to be it. Let's try a eapol_test again just to make sure

Yep, it works now.

I actually already got it! But thanks for your help and your page, It was very helpful. Thanks Again!

Cool, glad it all worked out :)

Hello, I am a C.S. student at the University of Utah. I am taking an Operating Systems class. For my first assignment I am required to write a function in C that writes an ASCII picture to a file. But I am only allowed to use "syscall()" to do so (i.e. I cannot use open(), write(), and close()). My professor directed me to your page on Linux System Call Table for x86_64. Perhaps I am missing the point, but in C how do ensure the correct values get placed in the right registers? Thanks!

Hi,

Wow, kudos to your teacher.  That’s a good exercise for a operating systems course.  I don’t want to give it away completely, so i’ll give you a hint.  

Let’s assume you want to write something to the screen, which is standard output, or file descriptor number 1.  Take a look at the gist at http://bit.ly/1xnkAbK and you’ll see a sample syscall(2) invocation where the first parameter is the syscall number (sys_write, or 1) which will be placed in the %rax register. The second parameter to syscall(2) is file descriptor (stdout, or 1), which will be placed in the %rdi register.  The third parameter is a constant character array (“test\n”), and a pointer to the memory address of first character “t” will be placed in the %rsi register.  The fourth parameter is the size of the const char array (5).  The operating system will start at the pointer value given in %rsi register, dereference it and print the dereferenced value to stdout.  The pointer is advanced, and ptr+1 is dereferenced and that is printed on stdout and so on until that has happened 5 times.  syscall(2) returns the number of characters it wrote to stdout.  This may not be exactly how things occur in the kernel, but it serves to provide an example that you can use to understand what you need to do for your project.

Wonder if your professor would give extra credit if you wrote it using inline assembly instead of syscall(2)?

If you get stuck, feel free to send me a message (look me up on Twitter @ryanchapman) with what you’ve put together so far and I’ll see if I can help out more.

Oh, and hi from Bozeman.  :)

Who changed the permissions on that file?

Linux 3.8.13

Sometimes you have a situation where someone or something is changing the permissions on a file and you need to know who or what process is doing it. Below is one method which uses the Linux audit mechanism, which has been around since 2.6.

[root@web01 /home/ryan]# /etc/init.d/auditd start [root@web01 /home/ryan]# auditctl -a exit,always -S fchmodat -S chmod -S fchmod WARNING - 32/64 bit syscall mismatch, you should specify an arch [root@web01 /home/ryan]# auditctl -w /home/ryan/timmy3 -p a [root@web01 /home/ryan]# auditctl -l -a always,exit -S chmod,fchmod,fchmodat -w /home/ryan/timmy3 -p a [root@web01 /home/ryan]# chmod 111 timmy3 [root@web01 /home/ryan]# less /var/log/audit/audit.log [...] type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1416721355.647:32740): arch=c000003e syscall=268 success=yes exit=0 a0=ffffffffffffff9c a1=64b0f0 a2=49 a3=7fff4bb52f60 items=1 ppid=15195 pid=2405 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=554114 tty=pts0 comm="chmod" exe="/bin/chmod" key=(null) type=CWD msg=audit(1416721355.647:32740): cwd="/home/ryan" type=PATH msg=audit(1416721355.647:32740): item=0 name="timmy3" inode=761912 dev=fb:03 mode=0100644 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 [...]

If you are wanting to watch a file that is hard linked, then it could exist in multiple paths and you'll have to watch activity on the inode. Continuing with the example above, let's hard link it to a file in another directory.

[root@web01 /home/ryan]# df -h /home/ryan Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/vda3 30G 4.0G 25G 15% / [root@web01 /home/ryan]# ls -l /dev/vda3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 251, 3 Sep 24 13:48 /dev/vda3 [root@web01 /home/ryan]# stat /home/ryan/timmy3 File: `/home/ryan/timmy3' Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 regular empty file Device: fb03h/64259d Inode: 761912 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2014-11-22 21:49:11.000000000 -0700 Modify: 2014-11-22 21:49:11.000000000 -0700 Change: 2014-11-22 21:49:11.000000000 -0700 [root@web01 /home/ryan]# auditctl -a exit,always -S fchmodat -S chmod -S fchmod -F devmajor=251 -F devminor=3 -F inode=761912 No rules WARNING - 32/64 bit syscall mismatch, you should specify an arch Error sending add rule data request (Invalid argument)

and we hit a dead end. You could re-compile audit with the patch at https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2013-September/msg00004.html, which would probably work. I didn't try it though.

Hi Randy,

any proxy does not expose the URL request.  The only thing an upstream proxy can see is the SSL certificate that the endpoint server presents, so while they can see you are talking to Google for instance, they cannot see the URL that you requested.  This is by design and although I've had several requests to change the way it works so that the URL can be exposed, I'm not going to do that.  any proxy will always be this way, because I believe it is the only ethical way to proxy traffic.

Question about go-any-proxy.

Hi Ryan,

I was just curious about something with your go-any-proxy server. Does your method of proxying HTTPS traffic allow for URL request exposure / filtering by the upstream proxy? Meaning if you’re transparently proxying my https traffic from my client machine, is the upstream proxy able to see which URLs I’m requesting, and can it block or allow the requested traffic based on proxy (squid) rulesets? Or is the encrypted connection completely preserved, and the traffic then effectively invisible to the upstream proxy?
