.SH "NAME" |
| 141 |
GNU\-VPE \- Overview of the GNU Virtual Private Ethernet suite. |
| 142 |
.SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| 143 |
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION" |
| 144 |
\&\s-1GVPE\s0 is a suite designed to provide a virtual private network for multiple |
| 145 |
nodes over an untrusted network. This document first gives an introduction |
| 146 |
to VPNs in general and then describes the specific implementation of \s-1GVPE\s0. |
| 147 |
.Sh "\s-1WHAT\s0 \s-1IS\s0 A \s-1VPN\s0?" |
| 148 |
.IX Subsection "WHAT IS A VPN?" |
| 149 |
\&\s-1VPN\s0 is an acronym, it stands for: |
| 150 |
.IP "Virtual" 4 |
| 151 |
.IX Item "Virtual" |
| 152 |
Virtual means that no physical network is created (of course), but a |
| 153 |
network is \fIemulated\fR by creating multiple tunnels between the member |
| 154 |
nodes by encapsulating and sending data over another transport network. |
| 155 |
.Sp |
| 156 |
Usually the emulated network is a normal \s-1IP\s0 or Ethernet, and the transport |
| 157 |
network is the Internet. However, using a \s-1VPN\s0 system like \s-1GVPE\s0 to connect |
| 158 |
nodes over other untrusted networks such as Wireless \s-1LAN\s0 is not uncommon. |
| 159 |
.IP "Private" 4 |
| 160 |
.IX Item "Private" |
| 161 |
Private means that non-participating nodes cannot decode (\*(L"sniff)\*(R" nor |
| 162 |
inject (\*(L"spoof\*(R") packets. This means that nodes can be connected over |
| 163 |
untrusted networks such as the public Internet without fear of being |
| 164 |
eavesdropped while at the same time being able to trust data sent by other |
| 165 |
nodes. |
| 166 |
.Sp |
| 167 |
In the case of \s-1GVPE\s0, even participating nodes cannot sniff packets |
| 168 |
send to other nodes or spoof packets as if sent from other nodes, so |
| 169 |
communications between any two nodes is private to those two nodes. |
| 170 |
.IP "Network" 4 |
| 171 |
.IX Item "Network" |
| 172 |
Network means that more than two parties can participate in the network, |
| 173 |
so for instance it's possible to connect multiple branches of a company |
| 174 |
into a single network. Many so-called \*(L"\s-1VPN\s0\*(R" solutions only create |
| 175 |
point-to-point tunnels, which in turn can be used to build larger |
| 176 |
networks. |
| 177 |
.Sp |
| 178 |
\&\s-1GVPE\s0 provides a true multi-point network in which any number of nodes (at |
| 179 |
least a few dozen in practise, the theoretical limit is 4095 nodes) can |
| 180 |
participate. |
| 181 |
.Sh "\s-1GVPE\s0 \s-1DESIGN\s0 \s-1GOALS\s0" |
| 182 |
.IX Subsection "GVPE DESIGN GOALS" |
| 183 |
.IP "\s-1SIMPLE\s0 \s-1DESIGN\s0" 4 |
| 184 |
.IX Item "SIMPLE DESIGN" |
| 185 |
Cipher, \s-1HMAC\s0 algorithms and other key parameters must be selected |
| 186 |
at compile time \- this makes it possible to only link in algorithms |
| 187 |
you actually need. It also makes the crypto part of the source very |
| 188 |
transparent and easy to inspect, and last not least this makes it possible |
| 189 |
to hardcode the layout of all packets into the binary. \s-1GVPE\s0 goes a step |
| 190 |
further and internally reserves blocks of the same length for all packets, |
| 191 |
which virtually removes all possibilities of buffer overflows, as there is |
| 192 |
only a single type of buffer and it's always of fixed length. |
| 193 |
.IP "\s-1EASY\s0 \s-1TO\s0 \s-1SETUP\s0" 4 |
| 194 |
.IX Item "EASY TO SETUP" |
| 195 |
A few lines of config (the config file is shared unmodified between all |
| 196 |
hosts) and a single run of \f(CW\*(C`gvpectrl\*(C'\fR to generate the keys suffices to |
| 197 |
make it work. |
| 198 |
.IP "MAC-BASED \s-1SECURITY\s0" 4 |
| 199 |
.IX Item "MAC-BASED SECURITY" |
| 200 |
Since every host has it's own private key, other hosts cannot spoof |
| 201 |
traffic from this host. That makes it possible to filter packet by \s-1MAC\s0 |
| 202 |
address, e.g. to ensure that packets from a specific \s-1IP\s0 address come, in |
| 203 |
fact, from a specific host that is associated with that \s-1IP\s0 and not from |
| 204 |
another host. |
| 205 |
.SH "PROGRAMS" |
| 206 |
.IX Header "PROGRAMS" |
| 207 |
Gvpe comes with two programs: one daemon (\f(CW\*(C`gvpe\*(C'\fR) and one control program |
| 208 |
(\f(CW\*(C`gvpectrl\*(C'\fR). |
| 209 |
.IP "gvpectrl" 4 |
| 210 |
.IX Item "gvpectrl" |
| 211 |
This program is used to generate the keys, check and give an overview of of the |
| 212 |
configuration and to control the daemon (restarting etc.). |
| 213 |
.IP "gvpe" 4 |
| 214 |
.IX Item "gvpe" |
| 215 |
This is the daemon used to establish and maintain connections to the other |
| 216 |
network nodes. It should be run on the gateway of each \s-1VPN\s0 subnet. |
| 217 |
.SH "COMPILETIME CONFIGURATION" |
| 218 |
.IX Header "COMPILETIME CONFIGURATION" |
| 219 |
Please have a look at the \f(CW\*(C`gvpe.osdep(5)\*(C'\fR manpage for platform-specific |
| 220 |
information. |
| 221 |
.PP |
| 222 |
Gvpe hardcodes most encryption parameters. While this reduces flexibility, |
| 223 |
it makes the program much simpler and helps making buffer overflows |
| 224 |
impossible under most circumstances. |
| 225 |
.PP |
| 226 |
Here are a few recipes for compiling your gvpe, showing the extremes |
| 227 |
(fast, small, insecure \s-1OR\s0 slow, large, more secure), between which you |
| 228 |
should choose: |
| 229 |
.Sh "\s-1AS\s0 \s-1LOW\s0 \s-1PACKET\s0 \s-1OVERHEAD\s0 \s-1AS\s0 \s-1POSSIBLE\s0" |
| 230 |
.IX Subsection "AS LOW PACKET OVERHEAD AS POSSIBLE" |
| 231 |
.Vb 1 |
| 232 |
\& ./configure \-\-enable\-hmac\-length=4 \-\-enable\-rand\-length=0 |
| 233 |
.Ve |
| 234 |
.PP |
| 235 |
Minimize the header overhead of \s-1VPN\s0 packets (the above will result in |
| 236 |
only 4 bytes of overhead over the raw ethernet frame). This is a insecure |
| 237 |
configuration because a \s-1HMAC\s0 length of 4 makes collision attacks based on |
| 238 |
the birthday paradox pretty easy. |
| 239 |
.Sh "\s-1MINIMIZE\s0 \s-1CPU\s0 \s-1TIME\s0 \s-1REQUIRED\s0" |
| 240 |
.IX Subsection "MINIMIZE CPU TIME REQUIRED" |

| 242 |
\& ./configure \-\-enable\-cipher=bf \-\-enable\-digest=md4 |
| 243 |
.Ve |
| 244 |
.PP |
| 245 |
Use the fastest cipher and digest algorithms currently available in |
| 246 |
gvpe. \s-1MD4\s0 has been broken and is quite insecure, though, so using another |
| 247 |
digest algorithm is recommended. |
| 248 |
.Sh "\s-1MAXIMIZE\s0 \s-1SECURITY\s0" |
| 249 |
.IX Subsection "MAXIMIZE SECURITY" |
| 250 |
.Vb 1 |
| 251 |
\& ./configure \-\-enable\-hmac\-length=16 \-\-enable\-rand\-length=8 \-\-enable\-digest=sha1 |
| 252 |
.Ve |
| 253 |
.PP |
| 254 |
This uses a 16 byte \s-1HMAC\s0 checksum to authenticate packets (I guess 8\-12 |
| 255 |
would also be pretty secure ;) and will additionally prefix each packet |
| 256 |
with 8 bytes of random data. In the long run, people should move to |
| 257 |
\&\s-1SHA\-256\s0 and beyond). |
| 258 |
.PP |
| 259 |
In general, remember that \s-1AES\-128\s0 seems to be as secure but faster than |
| 260 |
\&\s-1AES\-192\s0 or \s-1AES\-256\s0, more randomness helps against sniffing and a longer |
| 261 |
\&\s-1HMAC\s0 helps against spoofing. \s-1MD4\s0 is a fast digest, \s-1SHA1\s0, \s-1RIPEMD160\s0, \s-1SHA256\s0 |
| 262 |
are consecutively better, and Blowfish is a fast cipher (and also quite |
| 263 |
secure). |
| 264 |
.SH "HOW TO SET UP A SIMPLE VPN" |

.IX Header "HOW TO SET UP A SIMPLE VPN" |
| 266 |
In this section I will describe how to get a simple \s-1VPN\s0 consisting of |

three hosts up and running. |
| 268 |
.Sh "\s-1STEP\s0 1: configuration" |
| 269 |
.IX Subsection "STEP 1: configuration" |
| 270 |
First you have to create a daemon configuration file and put it into the |
| 271 |
configuration directory. This is usually \f(CW\*(C`/etc/gvpe\*(C'\fR, depending on how you |
| 272 |
configured gvpe, and can be overwritten using the \f(CW\*(C`\-c\*(C'\fR command line switch. |
| 273 |
.PP |
| 274 |
Put the following lines into \f(CW\*(C`/etc/gvpe/gvpe.conf\*(C'\fR: |
| 275 |

This script will give each node a different \s-1IP\s0 address in the \f(CW\*(C`10.0/16\*(C'\fR |
| 305 |
network. The internal network (if gvpe runs on a router) should then be |
| 306 |
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, |
| 307 |
\&\f(CW\*(C`10.0.2.0/24\*(C'\fR on node \f(CW\*(C`second\*(C'\fR, and so on. |
| 308 |
.PP |
| 309 |
By enabling routing on the gateway host that runs \f(CW\*(C`gvpe\*(C'\fR all nodes will |
| 310 |
be able to reach the other nodes. You can, of course, also use proxy \s-1ARP\s0 |

yours. |

Now distribute the config files and private keys to the other nodes. This |

You should now check the configuration by issuing the command \f(CW\*(C`gvpectrl \-c |
| 348 |
/etc/gvpe \-s\*(C'\fR on each node and verify it's output. |

You should then start gvpe on each node by issuing a command like: |
| 352 |
.PP |
| 353 |
.Vb 1 |
| 354 |
\& gvpe \-D \-l info first # first is the nodename |
| 355 |
.Ve |
| 356 |
.PP |
| 357 |
This will make the gvpe daemon stay in foreground. You should then see |
| 358 |
\&\*(L"connection established\*(R" messages. If you don't see them check your |
| 359 |
firewall and routing (use tcpdump ;). |
| 360 |
.PP |
| 361 |
If this works you should check your networking setup by pinging various |
| 362 |
endpoints. |

| 364 |
To make gvpe run more permanently you can either run it as a daemon (by |
| 365 |
starting it without the \f(CW\*(C`\-D\*(C'\fR switch), or, much better, from your inittab |
| 366 |
or equivalent. I use a line like this on all my systems: |
| 367 |
.PP |
| 368 |
.Vb 1 |
| 369 |
\& t1:2345:respawn:/opt/gvpe/sbin/gvpe \-D \-L first >/dev/null 2>&1 |

.Sh "\s-1STEP\s0 5: enjoy" |

\&... and play around. Sending a \-HUP (\f(CW\*(C`gvpectrl \-kHUP\*(C'\fR) to the daemon |
| 374 |
will make it try to connect to all other nodes again. If you run it from |
| 375 |
inittab, as is recommended, \f(CW\*(C`gvpectrl \-k\*(C'\fR (or simply \f(CW\*(C`killall gvpe\*(C'\fR) will |
| 376 |
kill the daemon, start it again, making it read it's configuration files |
| 377 |
again. |
