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.
55
56
57
58 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
59 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
60
61 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
62
63
64
66 The SELinux process type kismet_t can manage files labeled with the
67 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
68 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
69
70 kismet_home_t
71
72 /home/[^/]+/.kismet(/.*)?
73
74 kismet_var_lib_t
75
76 /var/lib/kismet(/.*)?
77
78
80 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
81 type.
82
83 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
84
85 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
86 SELinux kismet policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
87 kismet processes in as secure a method as possible.
88
89 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
90
91 SELinux defines the file context types for the kismet, if you wanted to
92 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
93 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
94 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
95
96 semanage fcontext -a -t kismet_var_run_t '/srv/mykismet_content(/.*)?'
97 restorecon -R -v /srv/mykismet_content
98
99 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
100 match multiple files.
101
102 The following file types are defined for kismet:
103
104
105
106 kismet_exec_t
107
108 - Set files with the kismet_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
109 executable to the kismet_t domain.
110
111
112 Paths:
113 /usr/bin/kismet, /usr/bin/kismet_drone, /usr/bin/kismet_server
114
115
116 kismet_home_t
117
118 - Set files with the kismet_home_t type, if you want to store kismet
119 files in the users home directory.
120
121
122
123 kismet_initrc_exec_t
124
125 - Set files with the kismet_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
126 tion an executable to the kismet_initrc_t domain.
127
128
129
130 kismet_log_t
131
132 - Set files with the kismet_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
133 as kismet log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
134
135
136
137 kismet_tmp_t
138
139 - Set files with the kismet_tmp_t type, if you want to store kismet
140 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
141
142
143
144 kismet_tmpfs_t
145
146 - Set files with the kismet_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store kismet
147 files on a tmpfs file system.
148
149
150
151 kismet_var_lib_t
152
153 - Set files with the kismet_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
154 kismet files under the /var/lib directory.
155
156
157
158 kismet_var_run_t
159
160 - Set files with the kismet_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
161 kismet files under the /run or /var/run directory.
162
163
164
165 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
166 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
167 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
168 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
169
170
172 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
173 mappings.
174
175 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
176 process type is permissive.
177
178 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
179 icy modules.
180
181 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
182
183
184 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
185 icy settings.
