PF(4)

NAME
pf - packet filter

SYNOPSIS
device pf

DESCRIPTION
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.

IOCTL INTERFACE
pf supports the following ioctl(2) commands, available through <net/pfvar.h>:

DIOCSTART
    Start the packet filter.

DIOCSTOP
    Stop the packet filter.

DIOCSTARTALTQ
    Start the ALTQ bandwidth control system (see altq(9)).

DIOCSTOPALTQ
    Stop the ALTQ bandwidth control system.

DIOCBEGINADDRS struct pfioc_pooladdr *pp

        struct pfioc_pooladdr {
        	u_int32_t		action;
        	u_int32_t		ticket;
        	u_int32_t		nr;
        	u_int32_t		r_num;
        	u_int8_t		r_action;
        	u_int8_t		r_last;
        	u_int8_t		af;
        	char			anchor[MAXPATHLEN];
        	struct pf_pooladdr	addr;
        };

    Clear the buffer address pool and get a ticket for subsequent DIOCADDADDR, DIOCADDRULE, and DIOCCHANGERULE calls.

DIOCADDADDR struct pfioc_pooladdr *pp

    Add the pool address addr to the buffer address pool to be used in the following DIOCADDRULE or DIOCCHANGERULE call. All other members of the structure are ignored.

DIOCADDRULE struct pfioc_rule *pr

        struct pfioc_rule {
        	u_int32_t	action;
        	u_int32_t	ticket;
        	u_int32_t	pool_ticket;
        	u_int32_t	nr;
        	char		anchor[MAXPATHLEN];
        	char		anchor_call[MAXPATHLEN];
        	struct pf_rule	rule;
        };

    Add rule at the end of the inactive ruleset. This call requires a ticket obtained through a preceding DIOCXBEGIN call and a pool_ticket obtained through a DIOCBEGINADDRS call. DIOCADDADDR must also be called if any pool addresses are required. The optional anchor name indicates the anchor in which to append the rule. nr and action are ignored.

DIOCADDALTQ struct pfioc_altq *pa
    Add an ALTQ discipline or queue.

        struct pfioc_altq {
        	u_int32_t	action;
        	u_int32_t	ticket;
        	u_int32_t	nr;
        	struct pf_altq  altq;
        };

    Get the queueing discipline altq by its number nr using the ticket obtained through a preceding DIOCGETALTQS call.

DIOCGETQSTATS struct pfioc_qstats *pq
    Get the statistics on a queue.

        struct pfioc_qstats {
        	u_int32_t	 ticket;

        	void		*buf;
        	int		 nbytes;
        	u_int8_t	 scheduler;
        };

    This call fills in a pointer to the buffer of statistics buf, of length nbytes, for the queue specified by nr.

DIOCGETRULESETS struct pfioc_ruleset *pr

        struct pfioc_ruleset {
        	u_int32_t	 nr;
        	char		 path[MAXPATHLEN];

        };

    Get the number nr of rulesets (i.e., anchors) directly attached to the anchor named by path for use in subsequent DIOCGETRULESET calls. Nested anchors, since they are not directly attached to the given anchor, will not be included. This ioctl returns EINVAL if the given anchor does not exist.

DIOCGETRULESET struct pfioc_ruleset *pr
    Get a ruleset (i.e., an anchor) name by its number nr from the given anchor path, the maximum number of which can be obtained from a preceding DIOCGETRULESETS call. This ioctl returns EINVAL if the given anchor does not exist or EBUSY if another process is concurrently updating a ruleset.

DIOCADDSTATE struct pfioc_state *ps
    Add a state entry.

        struct pfioc_state {
        	struct pfsync_state	state;

        	u_int			psk_killed;
        };

DIOCCLRSTATES struct pfioc_state_kill *psk
    Clear all states. It works like DIOCKILLSTATES, but ignores the psk_af, psk_proto, psk_src, and psk_dst fields of the pfioc_state_kill structure.

DIOCSETSTATUSIF struct pfioc_if *pi
    Specify the interface for which statistics are accumulated.

        struct pfioc_if {
        	char		 ifname[IFNAMSIZ];
        };

        	struct pf_addr	 rsaddr;
        	struct pf_addr	 rdaddr;
        	u_int16_t	 sport;
        	u_int16_t	 dport;
        	u_int16_t	 rsport;
        	u_int16_t	 rdport;
        	sa_family_t	 af;
        	u_int8_t	 proto;
        	u_int8_t	 direction;
        };

DIOCSETDEBUG u_int32_t *level
    Set the debug level.

        enum	{ PF_DEBUG_NONE, PF_DEBUG_URGENT, PF_DEBUG_MISC,
        	  PF_DEBUG_NOISY };

DIOCGETSTATES struct pfioc_states *ps
    Get state table entries.

        struct pfioc_states {

        };

    If ps_len is non-zero on entry, as many states as possible that can fit into this size will be copied into the supplied buffer ps_states. On exit, ps_len is always set to the total size required to hold all state table entries (i.e., it is set to sizeof(struct pf_state) * nr).

DIOCCHANGERULE struct pfioc_rule *pcr
    Add or remove the rule in the ruleset specified by rule.action.

    The type of operation to be performed is indicated by action, which can be any of the following:

        enum	{ PF_CHANGE_NONE, PF_CHANGE_ADD_HEAD, PF_CHANGE_ADD_TAIL,
        	  PF_CHANGE_ADD_BEFORE, PF_CHANGE_ADD_AFTER,
        	  PF_CHANGE_REMOVE, PF_CHANGE_GET_TICKET };

    ticket must be set to the value obtained with PF_CHANGE_GET_TICKET for all actions except PF_CHANGE_GET_TICKET. pool_ticket must be set to the value obtained with the DIOCBEGINADDRS call for all actions except PF_CHANGE_REMOVE and PF_CHANGE_GET_TICKET. anchor indicates to which anchor the operation applies. nr indicates the rule number against which PF_CHANGE_ADD_BEFORE, PF_CHANGE_ADD_AFTER, or PF_CHANGE_REMOVE actions are applied.

        	int		 timeout;
        	int		 seconds;
        };

    Set the state timeout of timeout to seconds. The old value will be placed into seconds. For possible values of timeout, consult the PFTM_* values in <net/pfvar.h>.

DIOCGETTIMEOUT struct pfioc_tm *pt
    Get the state timeout of timeout. The value will be placed into the seconds field.

DIOCCLRRULECTRS
    Clear per-rule statistics.

        	unsigned	limit;
        };
        enum	{ PF_LIMIT_STATES, PF_LIMIT_SRC_NODES, PF_LIMIT_FRAGS,
        	  PF_LIMIT_TABLES, PF_LIMIT_TABLE_ENTRIES, PF_LIMIT_MAX };

DIOCGETLIMIT struct pfioc_limit *pl
    Get the hard limit for the memory pool indicated by index.

DIOCRCLRTABLES struct pfioc_table *io
    Clear all tables. All the ioctls that manipulate radix tables use the same structure described below. For DIOCRCLRTABLES, pfrio_ndel contains on exit the number of tables deleted.

        struct pfioc_table {
        	struct pfr_table	 pfrio_table;
        	void			*pfrio_buffer;

    Get the list of all tables. On entry, pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size] contains a valid writeable buffer for pfr_table structures. On exit, pfrio_size contains the number of tables written into the buffer. If the buffer is too small, the kernel does not store anything but just returns the required buffer size, without error.

DIOCRGETTSTATS struct pfioc_table *io
    This call is like DIOCRGETTABLES but is used to get an array of pfr_tstats structures.

        struct pfr_tstats {
        	struct pfr_table pfrts_t;
        	u_int64_t	 pfrts_packets
        			     [PFR_DIR_MAX][PFR_OP_TABLE_MAX];

        	u_int64_t	 pfrts_nomatch;
        	long		 pfrts_tzero;
        	int		 pfrts_cnt;
        	int		 pfrts_refcnt[PFR_REFCNT_MAX];
        };
        #define pfrts_name	 pfrts_t.pfrt_name
        #define pfrts_flags	 pfrts_t.pfrt_flags

DIOCRCLRTSTATS struct pfioc_table *io

DIOCRADDADDRS struct pfioc_table *io
    Add one or more addresses to a table. On entry, pfrio_table contains the table ID and pfrio_buffer must point to an array of struct pfr_addr containing at least pfrio_size elements to add to the table. pfrio_esize must be the size of struct pfr_addr. On exit, pfrio_nadd contains the number of addresses effectively added.

        struct pfr_addr {
        	union {
        		struct in_addr	 _pfra_ip4addr;
        		struct in6_addr	 _pfra_ip6addr;
        	}		 pfra_u;

        };
        #define pfra_ip4addr    pfra_u._pfra_ip4addr
        #define pfra_ip6addr    pfra_u._pfra_ip6addr

DIOCRDELADDRS struct pfioc_table *io
    Delete one or more addresses from a table. On entry, pfrio_table contains the table ID and pfrio_buffer must point to an array of struct pfr_addr containing at least pfrio_size elements to delete from the table. pfrio_esize must be the size of struct pfr_addr. On exit, pfrio_ndel contains the number of addresses effectively deleted.

DIOCRSETADDRS struct pfioc_table *io
    Replace the content of a table by a new address list. This is the most complicated command, which uses all the structure members.

    On entry, pfrio_table contains the table ID and pfrio_buffer must point to an array of struct pfr_addr containing at least pfrio_size elements which become the new contents of the table. pfrio_esize must be the size of struct pfr_addr. Additionally, if pfrio_size2 is non-zero, pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size..pfrio_size2] must be a writeable buffer, into which the kernel can copy the addresses that have been deleted during the replace operation. On exit, pfrio_ndel, pfrio_nadd, and pfrio_nchange contain the number of addresses deleted, added, and changed by the kernel. If pfrio_size2 was set on entry, pfrio_size2 will point to the size of the buffer used, exactly like DIOCRGETADDRS.

DIOCRGETADDRS struct pfioc_table *io
    Get all the addresses of a table. On entry, pfrio_table contains the table ID and pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size] contains a valid writeable buffer for pfr_addr structures. On exit, pfrio_size contains the number of addresses written into the buffer. If the buffer was too small, the kernel does not store anything but just returns the required buffer size, without returning an error.

DIOCRGETASTATS struct pfioc_table *io
    This call is like DIOCRGETADDRS but is used to get an array of pfr_astats structures.

        struct pfr_astats {

    Clear the statistics of one or more addresses. On entry, pfrio_table contains the table ID and pfrio_buffer must point to an array of struct pfr_addr containing at least pfrio_size elements to be cleared from the table. pfrio_esize must be the size of struct pfr_addr. On exit, pfrio_nzero contains the number of addresses effectively cleared.

DIOCRTSTADDRS struct pfioc_table *io
    Test if the given addresses match a table. On entry, pfrio_table contains the table ID and pfrio_buffer must point to an array of struct pfr_addr containing at least pfrio_size elements, each of which will be tested for a match in the table. pfrio_esize must be the size of struct pfr_addr.

DIOCRSETTFLAGS struct pfioc_table *io
    Change the PFR_TFLAG_CONST or PFR_TFLAG_PERSIST flags of a table. On entry, pfrio_buffer must point to an array of struct pfr_table containing at least pfrio_size elements. pfrio_esize must be the size of struct pfr_table. pfrio_setflag must contain the flags to add, while pfrio_clrflag must contain the flags to remove. On exit, pfrio_nchange and pfrio_ndel contain the number of tables altered or deleted by the kernel. Yes, tables can be deleted if one removes the PFR_TFLAG_PERSIST flag of an unreferenced table.

DIOCRINADEFINE struct pfioc_table *io
    Defines a table in the inactive set. On entry, pfrio_table contains the table ID and pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size] contains an array of pfr_addr structures to put in the table. A valid ticket must also be supplied to pfrio_ticket. On exit, pfrio_nadd contains 0 if the table was already defined in the inactive list or 1 if a new table has been created. pfrio_naddr contains the number of addresses effectively put in the table.

DIOCXBEGIN struct pfioc_trans *io

        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 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.
    PF_RULESET_FILTER
        Filter rules.
    PF_RULESET_NAT
        NAT (Network Address Translation) rules.
    PF_RULESET_BINAT
        Bidirectional NAT rules.
    PF_RULESET_RDR
        Redirect rules.
    PF_RULESET_ALTQ
        ALTQ disciplines.
    PF_RULESET_TABLE
        Address tables.

DIOCXCOMMIT 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 EBUSY if another process is concurrently updating some of the same rulesets.

DIOCXROLLBACK 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 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 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 <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 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 EBUSY.

DIOCGETSRCNODES 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 struct pfioc_iface *io
    Get the list of interfaces and interface drivers known to pf. 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 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 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 struct pfioc_iface *io
    Set the user setable flags (described above) of the pf internal interface description. The filtering process is the same as for DIOCIGETIFACES.

        #define PFI_IFLAG_SKIP	0x0100	/* skip filtering on interface */

DIOCCLRIFFLAG struct pfioc_iface *io
    Works as DIOCSETIFFLAG above but clears the flags.

DIOCKILLSRCNODES struct pfioc_iface *io
    Explicitly remove source tracking nodes.

FILES
/dev/pf

    	    a >> 8 & 255, a & 255);
    }
    int

    	int dev;
    	if (argc != 5) {
    		printf("%s <gwy addr> <gwy port> <ext addr> <ext port>\n",
    		    argv[0]);
    		return 1;
    	}
    	dev = open("/dev/pf", O_RDWR);
    	if (dev == -1)

    	printf("internal host ");
    	print_address(nl.rsaddr.v4.s_addr);
    	printf(":%u\n", ntohs(nl.rsport));
    	return 0;
    }
