6 kismet_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the kismet pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the kismet processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The kismet processes execute with the kismet_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep kismet_t
20
21
22
24 The kismet_t SELinux type can be entered via the kismet_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the kismet_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/bin/kismet, /usr/bin/kismet_drone, /usr/bin/kismet_server
30
32 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33 system
34
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
38 kismet policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their kismet
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41 The following process types are defined for kismet:
42
43 kismet_t
44
45 Note: semanage permissive -a kismet_t can be used to make the process
46 type kismet_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
47 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48 ated.
49
50
52 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. kismet
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run kismet with the tightest access possible.

144
145
146
148 The SELinux process type kismet_t can manage files labeled with the
149 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
150 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
151
152 kismet_home_t
153
154 /home/[^/]+/.kismet(/.*)?
155
156 kismet_tmp_t
157
158
159 kismet_tmpfs_t
160
161
162 kismet_var_lib_t
163
164 /var/lib/kismet(/.*)?
165
166
168 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
169 type.
170
171 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
172
173 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
174 SELinux kismet policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
175 kismet processes in as secure a method as possible.
176
177 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
178
179 SELinux defines the file context types for the kismet, if you wanted to
180 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
181 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
182 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
183
184 semanage fcontext -a -t kismet_var_run_t '/srv/mykismet_content(/.*)?'
185 restorecon -R -v /srv/mykismet_content
186
187 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
188 match multiple files.
189
190 The following file types are defined for kismet:
191
192
193
194 kismet_exec_t
195
196 - Set files with the kismet_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
197 executable to the kismet_t domain.
198
199
200 Paths:
201 /usr/bin/kismet, /usr/bin/kismet_drone, /usr/bin/kismet_server
202
203
204 kismet_home_t
205
206 - Set files with the kismet_home_t type, if you want to store kismet
207 files in the users home directory.
208
209
210
211 kismet_initrc_exec_t
212
213 - Set files with the kismet_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
214 tion an executable to the kismet_initrc_t domain.
215
216
217
218 kismet_log_t
219
220 - Set files with the kismet_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
221 as kismet log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
222
223
224
225 kismet_tmp_t
226
227 - Set files with the kismet_tmp_t type, if you want to store kismet
228 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
229
230
231
232 kismet_tmpfs_t
233
234 - Set files with the kismet_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store kismet
235 files on a tmpfs file system.
236
237
238
239 kismet_var_lib_t
240
241 - Set files with the kismet_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
242 kismet files under the /var/lib directory.
243
244
245
246 kismet_var_run_t
247
248 - Set files with the kismet_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
249 kismet files under the /run or /var/run directory.
250
251
252
253 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
254 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
255 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
256 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
257
258
260 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
261 mappings.
262
263 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
264 process type is permissive.
265
266 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
267 icy modules.
268
269 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
270
271
272 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
273 icy settings.
