Penso che dipende da te far sapere al kernel qual è il tipo di indirizzo blackhole.
Dal file xt_addrtype.h nel codice sorgente di iptables, puoi vedere:
/* rtn_type enum values from rtnetlink.h, but shifted */
enum {
XT_ADDRTYPE_UNSPEC = 1 << 0,
XT_ADDRTYPE_UNICAST = 1 << 1, /* 1 << RTN_UNICAST */
XT_ADDRTYPE_LOCAL = 1 << 2, /* 1 << RTN_LOCAL, etc */
XT_ADDRTYPE_BROADCAST = 1 << 3,
XT_ADDRTYPE_ANYCAST = 1 << 4,
XT_ADDRTYPE_MULTICAST = 1 << 5,
XT_ADDRTYPE_BLACKHOLE = 1 << 6,
XT_ADDRTYPE_UNREACHABLE = 1 << 7,
XT_ADDRTYPE_PROHIBIT = 1 << 8,
XT_ADDRTYPE_THROW = 1 << 9,
XT_ADDRTYPE_NAT = 1 << 10,
XT_ADDRTYPE_XRESOLVE = 1 << 11,
};
E in rtnetlink.h, vedrai la stessa definizione:
enum {
RTN_UNSPEC,
RTN_UNICAST, /* Gateway or direct route */
RTN_LOCAL, /* Accept locally */
RTN_BROADCAST, /* Accept locally as broadcast,
send as broadcast */
RTN_ANYCAST, /* Accept locally as broadcast,
but send as unicast */
RTN_MULTICAST, /* Multicast route */
RTN_BLACKHOLE, /* Drop */
RTN_UNREACHABLE, /* Destination is unreachable */
RTN_PROHIBIT, /* Administratively prohibited */
RTN_THROW, /* Not in this table */
RTN_NAT, /* Translate this address */
RTN_XRESOLVE, /* Use external resolver */
__RTN_MAX
};
Puoi vedere iptablesusare la stessa definizione di tipo di indirizzo con lo stack di rete del kernel tcp.
Quindi da man ip:
Route types:
unicast - the route entry describes real paths to the destinations covered by the route prefix.
unreachable - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are discarded and the ICMP message host unreachable is generated.
The local senders get an EHOSTUNREACH error.
blackhole - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are discarded silently. The local senders get an EINVAL error.
prohibit - these destinations are unreachable. Packets are discarded and the ICMP message communication administratively
prohibited is generated. The local senders get an EACCES error.
local - the destinations are assigned to this host. The packets are looped back and delivered locally.
broadcast - the destinations are broadcast addresses. The packets are sent as link broadcasts.
throw - a special control route used together with policy rules. If such a route is selected, lookup in this table is termi‐
nated pretending that no route was found. Without policy routing it is equivalent to the absence of the route in the routing
table. The packets are dropped and the ICMP message net unreachable is generated. The local senders get an ENETUNREACH
error.
nat - a special NAT route. Destinations covered by the prefix are considered to be dummy (or external) addresses which
require translation to real (or internal) ones before forwarding. The addresses to translate to are selected with the
attribute Warning: Route NAT is no longer supported in Linux 2.6.
via.
anycast - not implemented the destinations are anycast addresses assigned to this host. They are mainly equivalent to local
with one difference: such addresses are invalid when used as the source address of any packet.
multicast - a special type used for multicast routing. It is not present in normal routing tables.
Quindi, quando si definisce un percorso verso una rete tramite ipcomando e lo si contrassegna come un percorso blackhole, il kernel ora rende questo indirizzo di rete tipo blackhole:
ip route add blackhole X.X.X.X/24
LOCALcertamente no127.0.0.0/8. Ho scoperto nel modo più duro :( ... apparentemente un indirizzo locale si riferisce a qualsiasi indirizzo assegnato a un'interfaccia.
