6 ntop_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ntop processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ntop processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The ntop processes execute with the ntop_t SELinux type. You can check
13 if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with
14 the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep ntop_t
19
20
21
23 The ntop_t SELinux type can be entered via the ntop_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the ntop_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/ntop
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32
33 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34
35 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 ntop policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ntop pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for ntop:
40
41 ntop_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a ntop_t can be used to make the process
44 type ntop_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
48
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ntop
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run ntop with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 If you want to deny all system processes and Linux users to use blue‐
57 tooth wireless technology, you must turn on the deny_bluetooth boolean.
58 Enabled by default.
59
60 setsebool -P deny_bluetooth 1
61
62
63
64 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
65 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
66
67 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
68
69
70
72 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
73
74 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
75 command:
76
77 semanage port -l
78
79
80 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
81 SELinux ntop policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ntop
82 processes in as secure a method as possible.
83
84 The following port types are defined for ntop:
85
86
87 ntop_port_t
88
89
90
91 Default Defined Ports:
92 tcp 3000-3001
93 udp 3000-3001
94
96 The SELinux process type ntop_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
97 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
98 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

163 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
164 type.
165
166 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
167
168 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
169 SELinux ntop policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ntop
170 processes in as secure a method as possible.
171
172 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
173
174 SELinux defines the file context types for the ntop, if you wanted to
175 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
176 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use re‐
177 storecon to put the labels on disk.
178
179 semanage fcontext -a -t ntop_var_run_t '/srv/myntop_content(/.*)?'
180 restorecon -R -v /srv/myntop_content
181
182 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
183 match multiple files.
184
185 The following file types are defined for ntop:
186
187
188
189 ntop_etc_t
190
191 - Set files with the ntop_etc_t type, if you want to store ntop files
192 in the /etc directories.
193
194
195
196 ntop_exec_t
197
198 - Set files with the ntop_exec_t type, if you want to transition an ex‐
199 ecutable to the ntop_t domain.
200
201
202
203 ntop_initrc_exec_t
204
205 - Set files with the ntop_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
206 an executable to the ntop_initrc_t domain.
207
208
209
210 ntop_tmp_t
211
212 - Set files with the ntop_tmp_t type, if you want to store ntop tempo‐
213 rary files in the /tmp directories.
214
215
216
217 ntop_var_lib_t
218
219 - Set files with the ntop_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the ntop
220 files under the /var/lib directory.
221
222
223
224 ntop_var_run_t
225
226 - Set files with the ntop_var_run_t type, if you want to store the ntop
227 files under the /run or /var/run directory.
228
229
230
231 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
232 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
233 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
234 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
235
236
238 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
239 mappings.
240
241 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
242 process type is permissive.
243
244 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
245 icy modules.
246
247 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
248
249 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
250
251
252 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
253 icy settings.
