\&\s-1GVPE\s0 is a suite designed to provide a virtual private network for multiple |
| 138 |
pcg |
1.5 |
nodes over an untrusted network. This document first gives an introduction |
| 139 |
|
|
to VPNs in general and then describes the specific implementation of \s-1GVPE\s0. |
| 140 |
|
|
.Sh "\s-1WHAT\s0 \s-1IS\s0 A \s-1VPN\s0?" |

\&\s-1VPN\s0 is an acronym, it stands for: |

1.3 |
.IP "\(bu" 4 |
| 144 |
|
|
.IX Xref "Virtual" |
| 145 |
pcg |
1.5 |
Virtual means that no physical network is created (of course), but a |
| 146 |
|
|
network is \fIemulated\fR by creating multiple tunnels between the member |
| 147 |
|
|
nodes by encapsulating and sending data over another transport network. |
| 148 |
|
|
.Sp |
| 149 |
|
|
Usually the emulated network is a normal \s-1IP\s0 or Ethernet, and the transport |
| 150 |
|
|
network is the Internet. However, using a \s-1VPN\s0 system like \s-1GVPE\s0 to connect |
| 151 |
|
|
nodes over other untrusted networks such as Wireless \s-1LAN\s0 is not uncommon. |
| 152 |
pcg |
1.3 |
.IP "\(bu" 4 |
| 153 |
|
|
.IX Xref "Private" |
| 154 |
|
|
Private means that non-participating nodes cannot decode (\*(L"sniff)\*(R" nor |
| 155 |
pcg |
1.5 |
inject (\*(L"spoof\*(R") packets. This means that nodes can be connected over |
| 156 |
|
|
untrusted networks such as the public Internet without fear of being |
| 157 |
|
|
eavesdropped while at the same time being able to trust data sent by other |
| 158 |
|
|
nodes. |
| 159 |
pcg |
1.3 |
.Sp |
| 160 |
pcg |
1.5 |
In the case of \s-1GVPE\s0, even participating nodes cannot sniff packets |
| 161 |
|
|
send to other nodes or spoof packets as if sent from other nodes, so |
| 162 |
|
|
communications between any two nodes is private to those two nodes. |
| 163 |
pcg |
1.3 |
.IP "\(bu" 4 |
| 164 |
|
|
.IX Xref "Network" |
| 165 |
|
|
Network means that more than two parties can participate in the network, |
| 166 |
|
|
so for instance it's possible to connect multiple branches of a company |
| 167 |
|
|
into a single network. Many so-called \*(L"vpn\*(R" solutions only create |
| 168 |
pcg |
1.5 |
point-to-point tunnels, which in turn can be used to build larger |
| 169 |
|
|
networks. |
| 170 |
|
|
.Sp |
| 171 |
|
|
\&\s-1GVPE\s0 provides a true multi-point network in wich any number of nodes (at |
| 172 |
|
|
least a few dozen in practise, the theoretical limit is 4095 nodes) can |
| 173 |
|
|
participate. |

Cipher, \s-1HMAC\s0 algorithms and other key parameters must be selected |
| 179 |
|
|
at compile time \- this makes it possible to only link in algorithms |
| 180 |
|
|
you actually need. It also makes the crypto part of the source very |
| 181 |
pcg |
1.5 |
transparent and easy to inspect, and last not least this makes it possible |
| 182 |
|
|
to hardcode the layout of all packets into the binary. \s-1GVPE\s0 goes a step |
| 183 |
|
|
further and internally reserves blocks of the same length for all packets, |
| 184 |
|
|
which virtually removes all possibilities of buffer overflows, as there is |
| 185 |
|
|
only a single type of buffer and it's always of fixed length. |

A few lines of config (the config file is shared unmodified between all |

|
|
Since every host has it's own private key, other hosts cannot spoof |
| 194 |
|
|
traffic from this host. That makes it possible to filter packet by \s-1MAC\s0 |
| 195 |
|
|
address, e.g. to ensure that packets from a specific \s-1IP\s0 address come, in |
| 196 |
|
|
fact, from a specific host that is associated with that \s-1IP\s0 and not from |
| 197 |

another host. |

Minimize the header overhead of \s-1VPN\s0 packets (the above will result in |

|
|
only 4 bytes of overhead over the raw ethernet frame). This is a insecure |

|

configuration because a \s-1HMAC\s0 length of 4 makes collision attacks based on |

This uses a 16 byte \s-1HMAC\s0 checksum to authenticate packets (I guess 8\-12 |
| 243 |
|
|
would also be pretty secure ;) and will additionally prefix each packet |
| 244 |
pcg |
1.2 |
with 8 bytes of random data. In the long run, people should move to |
| 245 |
|
|
\&\s-1SHA\-224\s0 and beyond, but support in openssl is missing as of writing this |

In general, remember that \s-1AES\-128\s0 seems to be more secure and faster than |
| 249 |
|
|
\&\s-1AES\-192\s0 or \s-1AES\-256\s0, more randomness helps against sniffing and a longer |
| 250 |
|
|
\&\s-1HMAC\s0 helps against spoofing. \s-1MD4\s0 is a fast digest, \s-1SHA1\s0 or \s-1RIPEMD160\s0 are |
| 251 |
|
|
better, and Blowfish is a fast cipher (and also quite secure). |

This script will give each node a different \s-1IP\s0 address in the \f(CW\*(C`10.0/16\*(C'\fR |

set to a subset of that network, e.g. \f(CW\*(C`10.0.1.0/24\*(C'\fR on node \f(CW\*(C`first\*(C'\fR, |

By enabling routing on the gateway host that runs \f(CW\*(C`gvpe\*(C'\fR all nodes will |

routing \- the choice is yours. |

Now distribute the config files to the other nodes. This should be done in two steps, since the |
| 320 |
|
|
private keys should not be distributed. The example uses rsync-over-ssh |
| 321 |
|
|
.PP |
| 322 |

First all the config files without the hostkeys should be distributed: |
| 323 |
|
|
.PP |
| 324 |
|
|
.Vb 3 |
| 325 |
|

\& rsync -avzessh /etc/gvpe first.example.net:/etc/. --exclude hostkeys |

| 328 |
|
|
.Ve |
| 329 |
|

Then the hostkeys should be copied: |
| 331 |
|
|
.PP |
| 332 |
|
|
.Vb 3 |
| 333 |
|
|
\& rsync -avzessh /etc/gvpe/hostkeys/first first.example.net:/etc/hostkey |

| 336 |

You should now check the configration by issuing the command \f(CW\*(C`gvpectrl \-c |
| 339 |
|
|
/etc/gvpe \-s\*(C'\fR on each node and verify it's output. |

.Sh "\s-1STEP\s0 4: starting gvpe" |
| 341 |
|
|
.IX Subsection "STEP 4: starting gvpe" |
| 342 |
|
|
You should then start gvpe on each node by issuing a command like: |
| 343 |
|
|
.PP |
| 344 |
|
|
.Vb 1 |
| 345 |
|
|
\& gvpe -D -linfo first # first is the nodename |
| 346 |
|
|
.Ve |
| 347 |
|
|
.PP |
| 348 |
|
|
This will make the gvpe stay in foreground. You should then see |
| 349 |
|
|
\&\*(L"connection established\*(R" messages. If you don't see them check your |
| 350 |
|
|
firewall and routing (use tcpdump ;). |
| 351 |
|
|
.PP |
| 352 |
|
|
If this works you should check your networking setup by pinging various |
| 353 |
|
|
endpoints. |
| 354 |
|
|
.PP |
| 355 |
|
|
To make gvpe run more permanently you can either run it as a daemon |
| 356 |
|
|
(by starting it without the \f(CW\*(C`\-D\*(C'\fR switch), or, much better, from your |
| 357 |
|
|
inittab. I use a line like this on my systems: |
| 358 |
|
|
.PP |
| 359 |
|
|
.Vb 1 |
| 360 |
|
|
\& t1:2345:respawn:/opt/gvpe/sbin/gvpe -D -L first >/dev/null 2>&1 |

|
|
\&... and play around. Sending a \-HUP (\f(CW\*(C`gvpectrl \-kHUP\*(C'\fR) to the daemon |
| 365 |
|
|
will make it try to connect to all other nodes again. If you run it from |
| 366 |
|
|
inittab, as is recommended, \f(CW\*(C`gvpectrl \-k\*(C'\fR (or simply \f(CW\*(C`killall gvpe\*(C'\fR) will |
| 367 |
|
|
kill the daemon, start it again, making it read it's configuration files |
| 368 |
|
|
again. |
