NAME
pf - packet filterSYNOPSIS
device pf options PF_DEFAULT_TO_DROPDESCRIPTION
Packet filtering takes place in the kernel. A pseudo-device, /dev/pf allows userland processes to control the behavior of the packet filter through an ioctl(2) interface. There are commands to enable and disable the filter, load rulesets, add and remove individual rules or state table entries, and retrieve statistics. The most commonly used functions are covered by pfctl(8).Manipulations like loading a ruleset that involve more than a single ioctl(2) call require a so-called ticket which prevents the occurrence of multiple concurrent manipulations.
Fields of ioctl(2) parameter structures that refer to packet data (like addresses and ports) are generally expected in network byte-order.
Rules and address tables are contained in so-called anchors When servicing an ioctl(2) request, if the anchor field of the argument structure is empty, the kernel will use the default anchor (i.e., the main ruleset) in operations. Anchors are specified by name and may be nested, with components separated by `/' characters, similar to how file system hierarchies are laid out. The final component of the anchor path is the anchor under which operations will be performed.
SYSCTL VARIABLES AND LOADER TUNABLES
The following loader(8) tunables are available.- net.pf.states_hashsize
- Size of hash tables that store states. Should be power of 2. Default value is 32768.
- net.pf.source_nodes_hashsize
- Size of hash table that store source nodes. Should be power of 2. Default value is 8192.
Read only sysctl(8) variables with matching names are provided to obtain current values at runtime.
KERNEL OPTIONS
The following options in the kernel configuration file are related to ifconfig operation:
- PF_DEFAULT_TO_DROP

DIOCRGETTABLES
but is used to get an array of
Vt pfr_tstats
structures.

-
struct pfioc_trans { int size; /* number of elements */ int esize; /* size of each element in bytes */ struct pfioc_trans_e { int rs_num; char anchor[MAXPATHLEN]; u_int32_t ticket; } *array; };
Clear all the inactive rulesets specified in the Vt pfioc_trans_e array. For each ruleset, a ticket is returned for subsequent "add rule" ioctls, as well as for the DIOCXCOMMIT and DIOCXROLLBACK calls.
Ruleset types, identified by rs_num include the following:
- PF_RULESET_SCRUB
- Scrub (packet normalization) rules.

- DIOCXCOMMIT Fa struct pfioc_trans *io
- Atomically switch a vector of inactive rulesets to the active rulesets. This call is implemented as a standard two-phase commit, which will either fail for all rulesets or completely succeed. All tickets need to be valid. This ioctl returns Er EBUSY if another process is concurrently updating some of the same rulesets.
- DIOCXROLLBACK Fa struct pfioc_trans *io
- Clean up the kernel by undoing all changes that have taken place on the inactive rulesets since the last DIOCXBEGIN DIOCXROLLBACK will silently ignore rulesets for which the ticket is invalid.
- DIOCSETHOSTID Fa u_int32_t *hostid
- Set the host ID, which is used by pfsync(4) to identify which host created state table entries.
- DIOCOSFPFLUSH
- Flush the passive OS fingerprint table.
- DIOCOSFPADD Fa struct pf_osfp_ioctl *io
-
struct pf_osfp_ioctl { struct pf_osfp_entry { SLIST_ENTRY(pf_osfp_entry) fp_entry; pf_osfp_t fp_os; char fp_class_nm[PF_OSFP_LEN]; char fp_version_nm[PF_OSFP_LEN]; char fp_subtype_nm[PF_OSFP_LEN]; } fp_os; pf_tcpopts_t fp_tcpopts; u_int16_t fp_wsize; u_int16_t fp_psize; u_int16_t fp_mss; u_int16_t fp_flags; u_int8_t fp_optcnt; u_int8_t fp_wscale; u_int8_t fp_ttl; int fp_getnum; };
Add a passive OS fingerprint to the table. Set fp_os.fp_os to the packed fingerprint, fp_os.fp_class_nm to the name of the class (Linux, Windows, etc), fp_os.fp_version_nm to the name of the version (NT, 95, 98), and fp_os.fp_subtype_nm to the name of the subtype or patchlevel. The members fp_mss fp_wsize fp_psize fp_ttl fp_optcnt and fp_wscale are set to the TCP MSS, the TCP window size, the IP length, the IP TTL, the number of TCP options, and the TCP window scaling constant of the TCP SYN packet, respectively.
The fp_flags member is filled according to the Aq Pa net/pfvar.h include file PF_OSFP_* defines. The fp_tcpopts member contains packed TCP options. Each option uses PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_BITS bits in the packed value. Options include any of PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_NOP PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_SACK PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_WSCALE PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_MSS or PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_TS
The fp_getnum member is not used with this ioctl.
The structure's slack space must be zeroed for correct operation; memset(3) the whole structure to zero before filling and sending to the kernel.
- DIOCOSFPGET Fa struct pf_osfp_ioctl *io
- Get the passive OS fingerprint number fp_getnum from the kernel's fingerprint list. The rest of the structure members will come back filled. Get the whole list by repeatedly incrementing the fp_getnum number until the ioctl returns Er EBUSY .
- DIOCGETSRCNODES Fa struct pfioc_src_nodes *psn
-
struct pfioc_src_nodes { int psn_len; union { caddr_t psu_buf; struct pf_src_node *psu_src_nodes; } psn_u; #define psn_buf psn_u.psu_buf #define psn_src_nodes psn_u.psu_src_nodes };
Get the list of source nodes kept by sticky addresses and source tracking. The ioctl must be called once with psn_len set to 0. If the ioctl returns without error, psn_len will be set to the size of the buffer required to hold all the pf_src_node structures held in the table. A buffer of this size should then be allocated, and a pointer to this buffer placed in psn_buf The ioctl must then be called again to fill this buffer with the actual source node data. After that call, psn_len will be set to the length of the buffer actually used.
- DIOCCLRSRCNODES
- Clear the tree of source tracking nodes.
- DIOCIGETIFACES Fa struct pfioc_iface *io
-
Get the list of interfaces and interface drivers known to
.
All the ioctls that manipulate interfaces
use the same structure described below:
struct pfioc_iface { char pfiio_name[IFNAMSIZ]; void *pfiio_buffer; int pfiio_esize; int pfiio_size; int pfiio_nzero; int pfiio_flags; };
If not empty, pfiio_name can be used to restrict the search to a specific interface or driver. pfiio_buffer[pfiio_size] is the user-supplied buffer for returning the data. On entry, pfiio_size contains the number of Vt pfi_kif entries that can fit into the buffer. The kernel will replace this value by the real number of entries it wants to return. pfiio_esize should be set to sizeof(struct pfi_kif)
The data is returned in the Vt pfi_kif structure described below:
struct pfi_kif { RB_ENTRY(pfi_kif) pfik_tree; char pfik_name[IFNAMSIZ]; u_int64_t pfik_packets[2][2][2]; u_int64_t pfik_bytes[2][2][2]; u_int32_t pfik_tzero; int pfik_flags; struct pf_state_tree_lan_ext pfik_lan_ext; struct pf_state_tree_ext_gwy pfik_ext_gwy; TAILQ_ENTRY(pfi_kif) pfik_w_states; void *pfik_ah_cookie; struct ifnet *pfik_ifp; struct ifg_group *pfik_group; int pfik_states; int pfik_rules; TAILQ_HEAD(, pfi_dynaddr) pfik_dynaddrs; };
- DIOCSETIFFLAG Fa struct pfioc_iface *io
-
Set the user setable flags (described above) of the
ifconfig
internal interface description.
The filtering process is the same as for
DIOCIGETIFACES
#define PFI_IFLAG_SKIP 0x0100 /* skip filtering on interface */
- DIOCCLRIFFLAG Fa struct pfioc_iface *io
- Works as DIOCSETIFFLAG above but clears the flags.
- DIOCKILLSRCNODES Fa struct pfioc_iface *io
- Explicitly remove source tracking nodes.
FILES
- /dev/pf
