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.

70 kismet_home_t
71
72 /home/[^/]+/.kismet(/.*)?

74 kismet_tmp_t

100 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
101 type.
102
103 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
104
105 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
106 SELinux kismet policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
107 kismet processes in as secure a method as possible.
108
109 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
110
111 SELinux defines the file context types for the kismet, if you wanted to
112 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
113 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
114 storecon to put the labels on disk.
115
116 semanage fcontext -a -t kismet_var_run_t '/srv/mykismet_content(/.*)?'
117 restorecon -R -v /srv/mykismet_content
118
119 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
120 match multiple files.
121
122 The following file types are defined for kismet:
123
124
125
126 kismet_exec_t
127
128 - Set files with the kismet_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
129 executable to the kismet_t domain.
130
131
132 Paths:
133 /usr/bin/kismet, /usr/bin/kismet_drone, /usr/bin/kismet_server
134
135
136 kismet_home_t
137
138 - Set files with the kismet_home_t type, if you want to store kismet
139 files in the users home directory.
140
141
142
143 kismet_initrc_exec_t
144
145 - Set files with the kismet_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
146 tion an executable to the kismet_initrc_t domain.
147
148
149
150 kismet_log_t
151
152 - Set files with the kismet_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
153 as kismet log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
154
155
156
157 kismet_tmp_t
158
159 - Set files with the kismet_tmp_t type, if you want to store kismet
160 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
161
162
163
164 kismet_tmpfs_t
165
166 - Set files with the kismet_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store kismet
167 files on a tmpfs file system.
168
169
170
171 kismet_var_lib_t
172
173 - Set files with the kismet_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
174 kismet files under the /var/lib directory.
175
176
177
178 kismet_var_run_t
179
180 - Set files with the kismet_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
181 kismet files under the /run or /var/run directory.
182
183
184
185 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
186 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
187 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
188 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
189
190
192 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
193 mappings.
194
195 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
196 process type is permissive.
197
198 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
199 icy modules.
200
201 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
202
203
204 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
205 icy settings.
