Easy Tool - Real time connection table analysis v4.0

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Overview

For many Check Point users the question arises again and again, which connections and services are used by a rule, a port, an destination IP or source IP  in real time. For this purpose I have created a small tool, which all information about a rule can be read out in real time from the connection table.

This is good for optimizing the ruleset, as it provides a real-time view of the connection table with the corresponding info. This can be a good solution in more complex environments to see what this rule really do.

The following questions can be answered:

• In which rules is port 443 currently used?
• In which rules is the source or destination IP is used?
• Which connections, ports, protocols and are active for rule xy?
• How many connections are there for rule xy in the TCP SYN, ACK or FIN state?
• How can I simplify rules and combine them, for example, into class C or B networks?
• What IP communication is there e.g. for port 80 or for the rule xy?

This tool will help you quickly answer these questions and many more.

Tool

When you execute this oneliner, a new cli command "econn" will be created.
After that, you only need to execute the following cli command in expert mode with the parameters.

The output of the tool always show:

• Shows all rules to which the filter applies
• Shows all UDP and TCP ports to which the filter applies.
• Shows a summary of all TCP (SYN, Syn-ACK, ACK,FIN) , UDP, ICMP, VRRP, IGMP values for the filtered connections.
• Indicates which protocols are currently in use (TCP, UDP,...)
• Summary of all used Check Point services (https, echo-request, CPD_amon, FW1_log,...)
• Incoming and outgoing interface (eth0, bond1.10, ...)
• Check Point service names 
• Formatted output of the connection table:
  (rule,  protoll  ,source IP, source port, destination IP, destination port, session timeout, TCP state, interface in and out, Check Point service)

Since version 3.0 VSX is supported:
On VSX systems, change to the corresponding virtual system with "vsenv" and execute "econn" on that VS system.

Filter Syntax	Description
-a	Show the information about the complete connection table.
-r <rule number>	Show the information about a specific rule with the corresponding rule number. Inline rules for example 2.1 are not possible. You can only use the base rule in this case 2.
-p <port>	Show the information about a specific destination port with the corresponding port number.
-d <destination IP>	Show the information about a specific destination IP with the corresponding IP.
-s <source IP>	Show the information about a specific source IP with the corresponding IP.
-g <grep parameter>	Search filter for the corresponding grep parameters in the raw data of "fw ctl conntab".
-e <grep parameter>	Search filter for the corresponding grep parameters in the connection table output view.

Delete Connections	Description
-x	Attention!!! This parameter deletes all connections from the connection table that match the filters. Grep parameters (-g) cannot be deleted in the combination with this option. This parameter is only available from R81 and higher.

Output extension	Description
-c	Shows the corresponding connection table entries.
-t	Tip! Display possible class C and B networks where the corresponding IP addresses from the connection table would match. This function is good to simplify rules.
-i	Displays only the summarized IP communication. Also used to simplify the set of rules.
-n	No summary output.

File	Description
-w <file name>	Write connection table to file.
-f <file name>	Read connection table from file. Important! Search filters (-r, -p, -d, -s ) only work when writing the file -w not with the option -f.

Examples

Examples	Description
# econn -r 10 -c	Shows all basic informations (used Ports, counter TCP/UDP/ICMP...) to rule 10 and displays the appropriate connection table entries.
# econn -a	Gives an overview of all connectiontabel entries (used ports, used protocols and counter TCP/UDP/ICMP...).
# econn -p 443 -c	Displays all rules where port 443 is used and prints all connection table entries.
# econn -d 1.1.1.1 -c	Displays all rules where destination IP 1.1.1.1 is used and gives an overview of all connection table entries (used ports, used protocols and counter TCP/UDP/ICMP...) and prints all connection table entries.
# econn -s 1.1.1.1 -c	Displays all rules where source IP 1.1.1.1 is used and gives an overview of all connection table entries (used ports, used protocols and counter TCP/UDP/ICMP...) and prints all connection table entries.
# econn -s 1.1.1.0-1.1.1.255	Displays all rules where source IP range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255
# econn -r 10 -t -i	Shows all basic informations to rule 10 and summarizes all IP addresses to possible class C and B networks and output the IP communication summed by source IP's.
# econn -p 80 -t -i -c	Shows all possible informations to port 80 in the connection table: rules, connection summaries, used protocols and ports, grouped networks, IP communication
# econn -p 443 -g SYN -c	Shows all possible informations to port 443 in the connection table with "TCP SYN" state
# econn -r 10 -p 53 -x	Attention!!! Delete all possible connections with port 53 in rule 10 in the connection table.
# econn -w test -p 433	Write the connection table to tar file where port 443 is used.
# econn -f test -c -e SYN	Read the connection table from tar file and show the output with the filter view option for SYN.
# econn -n -p 443 -e SYN_SENT	Don't show the connection summary + show connection table for port 443 and TCP state SYN.

Install Tool

Use this auto installer script from "Spoiler" on the Firewall Gateway as CLI command in expert mode:

Click to Expand

curl_cli -k http://www.ankenbrand24.de/inst_econn > /tmp/inst_econn && chmod 770 /tmp/inst_econn && /tmp/inst_econn

Or "copy and past" the following script block from "Spoiler" to your Firewall Gateway (in expert mode):

[Igor_Pr]

About the voting I found this tool.
Is very helpful. 👍

[Venkata]

Nice script.

[M_Markusevic]

We use a Fufin to analyze the rules. In combination with this script we could easily clean up our ruleset. Is really a helpful tool. 

Thanks @HeikoAnkenbrand for all the contributions.

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Now, version 4.0h with performance optimization for VSX environments.

[genisis__]

I used the auto-installer to install the tools, which seemed to work, however when I ran 'econn', I received this error:

Incomming : sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
sh: -c: line 0: `cat /tmp/econn_if |grep ^domain-tcp(121)'

I've run this on a R81 (open server) with JHFA34 installation.

[udo_kimmich]

We use it for analysis in our company.
With version 4.0 the performance of the tool is greatly improved.

Thanks for that!

[rami]

Nice tool 👍

[Rasputin]

Top tool.

[ori1]

Very nice tool.

[joschuar]

Hi @HeikoAnkenbrand,

The -x delete option does not work.

[MaxM]

This should be installed by Check Point by default.

[_Val_]

@MaxM we already have cpview 🙂
