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
65 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
66 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
67
68 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
69
70
71
73 The SELinux process type kismet_t can manage files labeled with the
74 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
75 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
76
77 kismet_home_t
78
79 /home/[^/]+/.kismet(/.*)?
80
81 kismet_tmp_t
82
83
84 kismet_tmpfs_t
85
86
87 kismet_var_lib_t
88
89 /var/lib/kismet(/.*)?
90
91 krb5_host_rcache_t
92
93 /var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
94 /var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?
95 /var/tmp/nfs_0
96 /var/tmp/DNS_25
97 /var/tmp/host_0
98 /var/tmp/imap_0
99 /var/tmp/HTTP_23
100 /var/tmp/HTTP_48
101 /var/tmp/ldap_55
102 /var/tmp/ldap_487
103 /var/tmp/ldapmap1_0
104
105
107 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
108 type.
109
110 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
111
112 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
113 SELinux kismet policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
114 kismet processes in as secure a method as possible.
115
116 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
117
118 SELinux defines the file context types for the kismet, if you wanted to
119 store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
120 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
121 storecon to put the labels on disk.
122
123 semanage fcontext -a -t kismet_exec_t '/srv/kismet/content(/.*)?'
124 restorecon -R -v /srv/mykismet_content
125
126 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
127 match multiple files.
128
129 The following file types are defined for kismet:
130
131
132
133 kismet_exec_t
134
135 - Set files with the kismet_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
136 executable to the kismet_t domain.
137
138
139 Paths:
140 /usr/bin/kismet, /usr/bin/kismet_drone, /usr/bin/kismet_server
141
142
143 kismet_home_t
144
145 - Set files with the kismet_home_t type, if you want to store kismet
146 files in the users home directory.
147
148
149
150 kismet_initrc_exec_t
151
152 - Set files with the kismet_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
153 tion an executable to the kismet_initrc_t domain.
154
155
156
157 kismet_log_t
158
159 - Set files with the kismet_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
160 as kismet log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
161
162
163
164 kismet_tmp_t
165
166 - Set files with the kismet_tmp_t type, if you want to store kismet
167 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
168
169
170
171 kismet_tmpfs_t
172
173 - Set files with the kismet_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store kismet
174 files on a tmpfs file system.
175
176
177
178 kismet_var_lib_t
179
180 - Set files with the kismet_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
181 kismet files under the /var/lib directory.
182
183
184
185 kismet_var_run_t
186
187 - Set files with the kismet_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
188 kismet files under the /run or /var/run directory.
189
190
191
192 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
193 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
194 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
195 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
196
197
199 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
200 mappings.
201
202 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
203 process type is permissive.
204
205 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
206 icy modules.
207
208 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
209
210
211 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
212 icy settings.
