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 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 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep kismet_t
20
24 The kismet_t SELinux type can be entered via the kismet_exec_t file
25 type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the kismet_t domain are the following:
28 /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 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36 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 The following process types are defined for kismet:
42 kismet_t
44 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
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.
55 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
59 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
60 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
61 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
63 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
67 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
68 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
70 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
74 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
75 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
77 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
81 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
82 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
84 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
88 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
89 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
91
95 The SELinux process type kismet_t can manage files labeled with the
96 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
97 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
98 kismet_home_t
100 /home/[^/]+/.kismet(/.*)?
102 kismet_tmp_t
104 kismet_tmpfs_t
107 kismet_var_lib_t
110 /var/lib/kismet(/.*)?
112
115 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
116 type.
117 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
119 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
121 SELinux kismet policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
122 kismet processes in as secure a method as possible.
123 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
125 SELinux defines the file context types for the kismet, if you wanted to
127 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
128 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
129 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
130 semanage fcontext -a -t kismet_var_run_t '/srv/mykismet_content(/.*)?'
132 restorecon -R -v /srv/mykismet_content
133 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
135 match multiple files.
136 The following file types are defined for kismet:
138 kismet_exec_t
142 - Set files with the kismet_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
144 executable to the kismet_t domain.
145 Paths:
148 /usr/bin/kismet, /usr/bin/kismet_drone, /usr/bin/kismet_server
149 kismet_home_t
152 - Set files with the kismet_home_t type, if you want to store kismet
154 files in the users home directory.
155 kismet_initrc_exec_t
159 - Set files with the kismet_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
161 tion an executable to the kismet_initrc_t domain.
162 kismet_log_t
166 - Set files with the kismet_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
168 as kismet log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
169 kismet_tmp_t
173 - Set files with the kismet_tmp_t type, if you want to store kismet
175 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
176 kismet_tmpfs_t
180 - Set files with the kismet_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store kismet
182 files on a tmpfs file system.
183 kismet_var_lib_t
187 - Set files with the kismet_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
189 kismet files under the /var/lib directory.
190 kismet_var_run_t
194 - Set files with the kismet_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
196 kismet files under the /run or /var/run directory.
197 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
201 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
202 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
203 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
204
207 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
208 mappings.
209 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
211 process type is permissive.
212 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
214 icy modules.
215 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
217 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
220 icy settings.
