标准安装完成后, 系统也许仍然存在一些漏洞. 除非您下载用于其它系统的漏洞修补包(或您有 security.debian.org 的本地镜像)系统必须连入互联网进行下载.

However, as soon as you connect to the Internet you are exposing this system. If one of your local services is vulnerable, you might be compromised even before the update is finished! This may seem paranoid but, in fact, analysis from the http://www.honeynet.org has shown that systems can be compromised in less than three days, even if the system is not publicly known (i.e., not published in DNS records).

当对没有外部系统如防火墙保护的系统进行升级时, 可以正确的设置本地防火墙, 以阻止除更新以外的其它连接. 下边的例子给出如何设置本地防火墙, 仅允许源自 security.debian.org 的更新连接.

The following example can be use to setup a restricted firewall ruleset. Run this commands from a local console (not a remote one) to reduce the chances of locking yourself out of the system.

  # iptables -F
  # iptables -L
  Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
  target     prot opt source               destination

  Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
  target     prot opt source               destination

  Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
  target     prot opt source               destination
  # iptables -A OUTPUT -d security.debian.org --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
  # iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
  # iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT
  # iptables -A INPUT -j LOG
  # iptables -A OUTPUT -j LOG
  # iptables -P INPUT DROP
  # iptables -P FORWARD DROP
  # iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
  # iptables -L
  Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
  target     prot opt source               destination
  ACCEPT     all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0          state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
  ACCEPT     icmp --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0
  LOG        all  --  anywhere             anywhere           LOG level warning

  Chain FORWARD (policy DROP)
  target     prot opt source               destination

  Chain OUTPUT (policy DROP)
  target     prot opt source               destination
  ACCEPT     80   --  anywhere             security.debian.org
  LOG        all  --  anywhere             anywhere           LOG level warning

Note: Using a DROP policy in the INPUT chain is the most correct thing to do, but be very careful when doing this after flushing the chain from a remote connection. When testing firewall rulesets from a remote location it is best if you run a script with the firewall ruleset (instead of introducing the ruleset line by line through the command line) and, as a precaution, keep a backdoor^[79]

Of course, you should disable any backdoors before getting the system into production. configured so that you can re-enable access to the system if you make a mistake. That way there would be no need to go to a remote location to fix a firewall ruleset that blocks you.

FIXME: This needs DNS to be working properly since it is required for security.debian.org to work. You can add security.debian.org to /etc/hosts but now it is a CNAME to several hosts (there is more than one security mirror)

FIXME: 这只适用于 HTTP URL 因为 ftp 可能需要 ip_conntrack_ftp 模块,或者使用 passive 方式.

#!/bin/bash

while true; do
    read -n 1 -p "Are you there? " -t 30 ayt
    if [ -z "$ayt" ] ; then
        break
    fi
done

# Reset the firewall chain, user is not available
echo
echo "Resetting firewall chain!"
iptables -F
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
exit 1
