37.Dt NG_BPF 4
38.Os
39.Sh NAME
40.Nm ng_bpf
41.Nd Berkeley packet filter netgraph node type
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.In sys/types.h
44.In net/bpf.h
45.In netgraph.h
46.In netgraph/ng_bpf.h
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm bpf
50node type allows Berkeley Packet Filter (see
51.Xr bpf 4 )
52filters to be applied to data travelling through a Netgraph network.
53Each node allows an arbitrary number of connections to arbitrarily
54named hooks.
55With each hook is associated a
56.Xr bpf 4
57filter program which is applied to incoming data only, a destination hook
58for matching packets, a destination hook for non-matching packets,
59and various statistics counters.
60.Pp
61A
62.Xr bpf 4
63program returns an unsigned integer, which is normally interpreted as
64the length of the prefix of the packet to return.
65In the context of this
66node type, returning zero is considered a non-match, in which case the
67entire packet is delivered out the non-match destination hook.
68Returning a value greater than zero causes the packet to be truncated
69to that length and delivered out the match destination hook.
70Either or both destination hooks may be the empty string, or may
71not exist, in which case the packet is dropped.
72.Pp
73New hooks are initially configured to drop all packets.
74A new filter program may be installed using the
75.Dv NGM_BPF_SET_PROGRAM
76control message.
77.Sh HOOKS
78This node type supports any number of hooks having arbitrary names.
79.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
80This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following:
81.Bl -tag -width foo
82.It Dv NGM_BPF_SET_PROGRAM Pq Ic setprogram
83This command sets the filter program that will be applied to incoming
84data on a hook.
85The following structure must be supplied as an argument:
86.Bd -literal -offset 4n
87struct ng_bpf_hookprog {
88  char            thisHook[NG_HOOKSIZ];     /* name of hook */
89  char            ifMatch[NG_HOOKSIZ];      /* match dest hook */
90  char            ifNotMatch[NG_HOOKSIZ];   /* !match dest hook */
91  int32_t         bpf_prog_len;             /* #insns in program */
92  struct bpf_insn bpf_prog[];               /* bpf program */
93};
94.Ed
95.Pp
96The hook to be updated is specified in
97.Dv thisHook .
98The BPF program is the sequence of instructions in the
99.Dv bpf_prog
100array; there must be
101.Dv bpf_prog_len
102of them.
103Matching and non-matching incoming packets are delivered out the hooks named
104.Dv ifMatch
105and
106.Dv ifNotMatch ,
107respectively.
108The program must be a valid
109.Xr bpf 4
110program or else
111.Er EINVAL
112is returned.
113.It Dv NGM_BPF_GET_PROGRAM Pq Ic getprogram
114This command takes an ASCII
115string argument, the hook name, and returns the
116corresponding
117.Dv "struct ng_bpf_hookprog"
118as shown above.
119.It Dv NGM_BPF_GET_STATS Pq Ic getstats
120This command takes an ASCII
121string argument, the hook name, and returns the
122statistics associated with the hook as a
123.Dv "struct ng_bpf_hookstat" .
124.It Dv NGM_BPF_CLR_STATS Pq Ic clrstats
125This command takes an ASCII
126string argument, the hook name, and clears the
127statistics associated with the hook.
128.It Dv NGM_BPF_GETCLR_STATS Pq Ic getclrstats
129This command is identical to
130.Dv NGM_BPF_GET_STATS ,
131except that the statistics are also atomically cleared.
132.El
133.Sh SHUTDOWN
134This node shuts down upon receipt of a
135.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
136control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.
137.Sh EXAMPLES
138It is possible to configure a node from the command line, using
139.Xr tcpdump 1
140to generate raw BPF instructions which are then transformed
141into the ASCII form of a
142.Dv NGM_BPF_SET_PROGRAM
143control message, as demonstrated here:
144.Bd -literal -offset 4n
145#!/bin/sh
146
147PATTERN="tcp dst port 80"
148NODEPATH="my_node:"
149INHOOK="hook1"
150MATCHHOOK="hook2"
151NOTMATCHHOOK="hook3"
152
153BPFPROG=$( tcpdump -s 8192 -p -ddd ${PATTERN} | \\
154           ( read len ; \\
155             echo -n "bpf_prog_len=$len " ; \\
156             echo -n "bpf_prog=[" ; \\
157             while read code jt jf k ; do \\
158                 echo -n " { code=$code jt=$jt jf=$jf k=$k }" ; \\
159             done ; \\
160             echo " ]" ) )
161
162ngctl msg ${NODEPATH} setprogram { thisHook=\\"${INHOOK}\\" \\
163  ifMatch=\\"${MATCHHOOK}\\" \\
164  ifNotMatch=\\"${NOTMATCHHOOK}\\" \\
165  ${BPFPROG} }
166.Ed
167.Pp
168Based on the previous example, it is possible to prevent a jail (or a VM)
169from spoofing by allowing only traffic that has the expected ethernet and
170IP addresses:
171.Bd -literal -offset 4n
172#!/bin/sh
173
174NODEPATH="my_node:"
175JAIL_MAC="0a:00:de:ad:be:ef"
176JAIL_IP="128.66.1.42"
177JAIL_HOOK="jail"
178HOST_HOOK="host"
179DEBUG_HOOK="nomatch"
180
181bpf_prog() {
182    local PATTERN=$1
183
184    tcpdump -s 8192 -p -ddd ${PATTERN} | (
185        read len
186        echo -n "bpf_prog_len=$len "
187        echo -n "bpf_prog=["
188        while read code jt jf k ; do
189            echo -n " { code=$code jt=$jt jf=$jf k=$k }"
190        done
191        echo " ]"
192    )
193}
194
195# Prevent jail from spoofing (filter packets coming from jail)
196ngctl msg ${NODEPATH} setprogram {                        \\
197    thisHook=\\"${JAIL_HOOK}\\"                             \\
198    ifMatch=\\"${HOST_HOOK}\\"                              \\
199    ifNotMatch=\\"${DEBUG_HOOK}\\"                          \\
200    $(bpf_prog "ether src ${JAIL_MAC} && src ${JAIL_IP}") \\
201}
202
203# Prevent jail from receiving spoofed packets (filter packets
204# coming from host)
205ngctl msg ${NODEPATH} setprogram {                        \\
206    thisHook=\\"${HOST_HOOK}\\"                             \\
207    ifMatch=\\"${JAIL_HOOK}\\"                              \\
208    ifNotMatch=\\"${DEBUG_HOOK}\\"                          \\
209    $(bpf_prog "ether dst ${JAIL_MAC} && dst ${JAIL_IP}") \\

223.Sh BUGS
224When built as a loadable kernel module, this module includes the file
225.Pa net/bpf_filter.c .
226Although loading the module should fail if
227.Pa net/bpf_filter.c
228already exists in the kernel, currently it does not, and the duplicate
229copies of the file do not interfere.
230However, this may change in the future.
