Pyretic-statefull-firewall

Pyretic statefull firewall and DDoS prevention

Pyretic is both a programmer-friendly domain-specific language embedded in Python and the runtime system that implements programs written in the Pyretic language on network switches. This project is an implementation of stateless and statefull firewall using pyretic and POX controller. Firewall also incorporate to detect and prevent the DDoS attack.

Installation Steps:

1. Download the VM from the following link; http://sdnhub.org/tutorials/sdn-tutorial-vm/

2. Run the commad to install yappi package and some dependancies

   sudo pip install networkx bitarray netaddr ipaddr pytest ipdb sphinx pyparsing==1.5.7 yappi

3. Start the SDNtutorialVM64bit.ova in virtualbox.

Test Setup:

1. Clone the following git repository in VM.

   git clone https://github.com/raonadeem/Pyretic-statefull-firewall.git

2. Copy firewall-policies.csv in pyretic home and statefull_firewall.py in pyretic examples

   cp firewall-policies.csv /home/ubuntu/pyretic

   cp statefull_firewall.py /home/ubuntu/pyretic/pyretic/examples

Test Execution:

1. Clear the setup before every run.

   sudo mn -c

2. Run the following command to setup 3 hosts (h1, h2, h3) on single switch (s1) and a remote controller.

   sudo mn --topo single,3 --controller remote

3. Open xterm for h1, h2, h3.

   xterm h1

   xterm h2

   xterm h3

4. (Optional) In your terminal second window run the sFlow for monitoring.

   sudo ovs-vsctl -- --id=@sflow create sflow agent=eth0 target="127.0.0.1:6343" sampling=10 polling=20 -- -- set bridge s1 sflow=@sflow

   cd sflow-rt

   ./start.sh

   Open http://localhost:8008 in your VM browser for sFlow monitoring

5. In third window run our statefull firewall application on POX controller.

   python pyretic.py pyretic.examples.statefull_firewall

6. Run the hping3 tests on h1 host.

   sudo hping3 -V -S -s 6001 -p 5001 10.0.0.3 -c 1
