blacklist: Avoid duplicate manual pages in METALOG

Previously, blacklist man pages were just a symlink to their blocklist
counterpart, this in turn installed blocklist man pages twice, and
resulted in a duplicate error when running metalog_reader.lua -c.

Take advantage of the duplication to document nuances in blacklist, such
as the fact that it uses the new database and socket name (blocklist).
Also, note that it has been renamed to blocklist.  In the future, it
will help to document its deprecation.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Cm dump
.Op Fl abdnrw
.Op Fl D Ar dbname
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a program used to display and change the state of the
.Xr blacklistd 8
database.
The following sub-commands are supported:
.Ss dump
.Pp
The following options are available for the
.Cm dump
sub-command:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl a
Show all database entries, by default it shows only the active ones.
Inactive entries will be shown with a last-access (or, with
.Fl r ,
the remaining) time of
.Ql never .
.It Fl b
Show only the blocked entries.
.It Fl D Ar dbname
Specify the location of the
.Ic blacklistd
database file to use.
The default is
.Pa /var/db/blocklistd.db .
.It Fl d
Increase debugging level.
.It Fl n
Don't display a header.
.It Fl r
Show the remaining blocked time instead of the last activity time.
.It Fl w
Normally the width of addresses is good for IPv4, the
.Fl w
flag, makes the display wide enough for IPv6 addresses.
.El
.Pp
The output of the
.Cm dump
sub-command consists of a header (unless
.Fl n
was given) and one line for each record in the database, where each line
has the following columns:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Ql address/ma:port
The remote address, mask, and local port number of the client connection
associated with the database entry.
.It Ql id
column will show the identifier for the packet filter rule associated
with the database entry, though this may only be the word
.Ql OK
for packet filters which do not creat a unique identifier for each rule.
.It Ql nfail
The number of
.Em failures
reported for the client on the noted port, as well as the number of
failures allowed before blocking (or, with
.Fl a ,
an asterisk
.Aq * )
.It So last access Sc | So remaining time Sc
The last time a the client was reported as attempting access, or, with
.Fl r ,
the time remaining before the rule blocking the client will be removed.
.El
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr blacklistd 8
.Sh NOTES
The
.Nm
program has been renamed to
.Xr blocklistctl 8 .
.Pp
Sometimes the reported number of failed attempts can exceed the number
of attempts that
.Xr blacklistd 8
is configured to block.
This can happen either because the rule has been removed manually, or
because there were more attempts in flight while the rule block was being
added.
This condition is normal; in that case
.Xr blacklistd 8
will first attempt to remove the existing rule, and then it will re-add
it to make sure that there is only one rule active.

.Dt BLACKLISTD 8
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm blacklistd
.Nd block and release ports on demand to avoid DoS abuse
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl dfrv
.Op Fl C Ar controlprog
.Op Fl c Ar configfile
.Op Fl D Ar dbfile
.Op Fl P Ar sockpathsfile
.Op Fl R Ar rulename
.Op Fl s Ar sockpath
.Op Fl t Ar timeout
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a daemon similar to
.Xr syslogd 8
that listens to sockets at paths specified in the
.Ar sockpathsfile
for notifications from other daemons about successful or failed connection
attempts.
If no such file is specified, then it only listens to the socket path
specified by
.Ar sockpath
or if that is not specified to
.Pa /var/run/blocklistd.sock .
Each notification contains an (action, port, protocol, address, owner) tuple
that identifies the remote connection and the action.
This tuple is consulted against entries from the
.Ar configfile ,
with the syntax specified in
.Xr blacklistd.conf 5 .
If an entry is matched, a state entry is created for that tuple.
Each entry contains a number of tries limit and a duration.
.Pp
If
.Ar configfile
is a directory, or a directory exists with the same name as
.Ar configfile
with
.Qq .d
appended to it, each file in the directory will be read as configuration file.
If
.Ar configfile
exists as a file it will be processed before the contents of the
.Ar configfile Ns .d
directory if that also exists.
.Pp
The way
.Nm
does configuration entry matching is by having the client side pass the
file descriptor associated with the connection the client wants to blacklist
as well as passing socket credentials.
.Pp
The file descriptor is used to retrieve information (address and port)
about the remote side with
.Xr getpeername 2
and the local side with
.Xr getsockname 2 .
.Pp
By examining the port of the local side,
.Nm
can determine if the client program
.Dq owns
the port.
By examining the optional address portion on the local side, it can match
interfaces.
By examining the remote address, it can match specific allow or deny rules.
.Pp
Finally
.Nm
can examine the socket credentials to match the user in the configuration file.
.Pp
While this works well for TCP sockets, it cannot be relied on for unbound
UDP sockets.
It is also less meaningful when it comes to connections using non-privileged
ports.
On the other hand, if we receive a request that has a local endpoint indicating
a UDP privileged port, we can presume that the client was privileged to be
able to acquire that port.
.Pp
Once an entry is matched
.Nm
can perform various actions.
If the action is
.Dq add
and the number of tries limit is reached, then a
control script
.Ar controlprog
is invoked with arguments:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
control add <rulename> <proto> <address> <mask> <port>
.Ed
.Pp
and should invoke a packet filter command to block the connection
specified by the arguments.
The
.Ar rulename
argument can be set from the command line (default
.Dv blacklistd ) .
The script could print a numerical id to stdout as a handle for
the rule that can be used later to remove that connection, but
that is not required as all information to remove the rule is
kept.
.Pp
If the action is
.Dq rem
Then the same control script is invoked as:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
control rem <rulename> <proto> <address> <mask> <port> <id>
.Ed
.Pp
where
.Ar id
is the number returned from the
.Dq add
action.
.Pp
.Nm
maintains a database of known connections in
.Ar dbfile .
On startup it reads entries from that file, and updates its internal state.
.Pp
.Nm
checks the list of active entries every
.Ar timeout
seconds (default
.Dv 15 )
and removes entries and block rules using the control program as necessary.
.Pp
The following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl C Ar controlprog
Use
.Ar controlprog
to communicate with the packet filter, instead of the default, which is
.Pa /usr/libexec/blacklistd-helper .
The following arguments are passed to the control program:
.Bl -tag -width protocol
.It action
The action to perform:
.Dv add ,
.Dv rem ,
or
.Dv flush ;
to add, remove or flush a firewall rule.
.It name
The rule name.
.It protocol
The optional protocol name (can be empty):
.Dv tcp ,
.Dv tcp6 ,
.Dv udp ,
.Dv udp6 .
.It address
The IPv4 or IPv6 numeric address to be blocked or released.
.It mask
The numeric mask to be applied to the blocked or released address
.It port
The optional numeric port to be blocked (can be empty).
.It id
For packet filters that support removal of rules by rule identifier, the
identifier of the rule to be removed.
The add command is expected to return the rule identifier string to stdout.
.El
.It Fl c Ar configuration
The name of the configuration file to read.
The default when
.Fl c
is not given is
.Pa /etc/blacklistd.conf .
.It Fl D Ar dbfile
The Berkeley DB file where
.Nm
stores its state.
It defaults to
.Pa /var/db/blocklistd.db .
.It Fl d
Normally,
.Nm
disassociates itself from the terminal unless the
.Fl d
flag is specified, in which case it stays in the foreground.
.It Fl f
Truncate the state database and flush all the rules named
.Ar rulename
are deleted by invoking the control script as:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
control flush <rulename>
.Ed
.It Fl P Ar sockpathsfile
A file containing a list of pathnames, one per line that
.Nm
will create sockets to listen to.
This is useful for chrooted environments.
.It Fl R Ar rulename
Specify the default rule name for the packet filter rules, usually
.Dv blacklistd .
.It Fl r
Re-read the firewall rules from the internal database, then
remove and re-add them.
This helps for packet filters that do not retain state across reboots.
.It Fl s Ar sockpath
Add
.Ar sockpath
to the list of Unix sockets
.Nm
listens to.
.It Fl t Ar timeout
The interval in seconds
.Nm
polls the state file to update the rules.
.It Fl v
Cause
.Nm
to print
diagnostic messages to
.Dv stdout
instead of
.Xr syslogd 8 .
.El
.Sh SIGNAL HANDLING
.Nm
deals with the following signals:
.Bl -tag -width "USR2"
.It Dv HUP
Receipt of this signal causes
.Nm
to re-read the configuration file.
.It Dv INT , Dv TERM & Dv QUIT
These signals tell
.Nm
to exit in an orderly fashion.
.It Dv USR1
This signal tells
.Nm
to increase the internal debugging level by 1.
.It Dv USR2
This signal tells
.Nm
to decrease the internal debugging level by 1.
.El
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width /usr/libexec/blacklistd-helper -compact

.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm blacklistd.conf
.Nd configuration file format for blacklistd
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
file contains configuration entries for
.Xr blacklistd 8
in a fashion similar to
.Xr inetd.conf 5 .
Only one entry per line is permitted.
Every entry must have all fields populated.
Each field can be separated by a tab or a space.
Comments are denoted by a
.Dq #
at the beginning of a line.
.Pp
There are two kinds of configuration lines,
.Va [local]
and
.Va [remote] .
By default, configuration lines are
.Va [local] ,
i.e. the address specified refers to the addresses on the local machine.
To switch to between
.Va [local]
and
.Va [remote]
configuration lines you can specify the stanzas:
.Dq [local]
and
.Dq [remote] .
.Pp
On
.Va [local]
and
.Va [remote]
lines
.Dq *
means use the default, or wildcard match.
In addition, for
.Va [remote]
lines
.Dq =
means use the values from the matched
.Va [local]
configuration line.
.Pp
The first four fields,
.Va location ,
.Va type ,
.Va proto ,
and
.Va owner
are used to match the
.Va [local]
or
.Va [remote]
addresses, whereas the last 3 fields
.Va name ,
.Va nfail ,
and
.Va disable
are used to modify the filtering action.
.Pp
The first field denotes the
.Va location
as an address, mask, and port.
The syntax for the
.Va location
is:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
[<address>|<interface>][/<mask>][:<port>]
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Dv address
can be an IPv4 address in numeric format, an IPv6 address
in numeric format and enclosed by square brackets, or an interface name.
Mask modifiers are not allowed on interfaces because interfaces
can have multiple addresses in different protocols where the mask has a
different size.
.Pp
The
.Dv mask
is always numeric, but the
.Dv port
can be either numeric or symbolic.
.Pp
The second field is the socket
.Va type :
.Dv stream ,
.Dv dgram ,
or numeric.
The third field is the
.Va protocol :
.Dv tcp ,
.Dv udp ,
.Dv tcp6 ,
.Dv udp6 ,
or numeric.
The fourth field is the effective user
.Va ( owner )
of the daemon process reporting the event,
either as a username or a userid.
.Pp
The rest of the fields control the behavior of the filter.
.Pp
The
.Va name
field, is the name of the packet filter rule to be used.
If the
.Va name
starts with a hyphen
.Pq Dq - ,
then the default rulename is prepended to the given name.
If the
.Dv name
contains a
.Dq / ,
the remaining portion of the name is interpreted as the mask to be
applied to the address specified in the rule, causing a single rule violation to
block the entire subnet for the configured prefix.
.Pp
The
.Va nfail
field contains the number of failed attempts before access is blocked,
defaulting to
.Dq *
meaning never, and the last field
.Va duration
specifies the amount of time since the last access that the blocking
rule should be active, defaulting to
.Dq *
meaning forever.
The default unit for
.Va duration
is seconds, but one can specify suffixes for different units, such as
.Dq m
for minutes
.Dq h
for hours and
.Dq d
for days.
.Pp
Matching is done first by checking the
.Va [local]
rules individually, in the order of the most specific to the least specific.
If a match is found, then the matching
.Va [remote]
rules are applied.
The
.Va name ,
.Va nfail ,
and
.Va duration
fields can be altered by the
.Va [remote]
rule that matched.
.Pp
The
.Va [remote]
rules can be used for allowing specific addresses, changing the mask
size (via
.Va name ) ,
the rule that the packet filter uses (also via
.Va name ) ,
the number of failed attempts (via
.Va nfail ) ,
or the duration to block (via
.Va duration ) .

.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions can be used by daemons to notify
.Xr blacklistd 8
about successful and failed remote connections so that blacklistd can
block or release port access to prevent Denial of Service attacks.
.Pp
The function
.Fn blacklist_open
creates the necessary state to communicate with
.Xr blacklistd 8
and returns a pointer to it, or
.Dv NULL
on failure.
.Pp
The function
.Fn blacklist_open2
is similar to
.Fn blacklist_open
but allows a
.Fa logger
to be specified.
If the
.Fa logger
is
.Dv NULL ,
then no logging is performed.
.Pp
The
.Fn blacklist_close
function frees all memory and resources used.
.Pp
The
.Fn blacklist
function sends a message to
.Xr blacklistd 8 ,
with an integer
.Ar action
argument specifying the type of notification,
a file descriptor
.Ar fd
specifying the accepted file descriptor connected to the client,
and an optional message in the
.Ar msg
argument.
.Pp
The
.Ar action
parameter can take these values:
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv BLACKLIST_ABUSIVE_BEHAVIOR"
.It Dv BLACKLIST_AUTH_FAIL
There was an unsuccessful authentication attempt.
.It Dv BLACKLIST_AUTH_OK
A user successfully authenticated.
.It Dv BLACKLIST_ABUSIVE_BEHAVIOR
The sending daemon has detected abusive behavior
from the remote system.
The remote address should
be blocked as soon as possible.
.It Dv BLACKLIST_BAD_USER
The sending daemon has determined the username
presented for authentication is invalid.
The
.Xr blacklistd 8
daemon compares the username to a configured list of forbidden
usernames and
blocks the address immediately if a forbidden username matches.
(The
.Dv BLACKLIST_BAD_USER
support is not currently available.)
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn blacklist_r
function is more efficient because it keeps the blacklist state around.
.Pp
The
.Fn blacklist_sa
and
.Fn blacklist_sa_r
functions can be used with unconnected sockets, where
.Xr getpeername 2
will not work, the server will pass the peer name in the message.
.Pp
In all cases the file descriptor passed in the
.Fa fd
argument must be pointing to a valid socket so that
.Xr blacklistd 8
can establish ownership of the local endpoint
using
.Xr getsockname 2 .
.Pp
By default,
.Xr syslogd 8
is used for message logging.
The internal
.Fn bl_create
function can be used to create the required internal
state and specify a custom logging function.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The function
.Fn blacklist_open
returns a cookie on success and
.Dv NULL
on failure setting
.Dv errno
to an appropriate value.
.Pp
The functions
.Fn blacklist ,
.Fn blacklist_sa ,
and
.Fn blacklist_sa_r
return
.Dv 0
on success and
.Dv \-1
on failure setting
.Dv errno
to an appropriate value.
