|
||||
```
|
||||
groupadd no-internet
|
||||
```
|
||||
And add your user to it
|
||||
```
|
||||
usermod -a -G no-internet youruser
|
||||
```
|
||||
You should now see no-internet as a group your user is a member of
|
||||
```
|
||||
groups youruser
|
||||
````
|
||||
Your user will need to be a member of the group as sg demands it
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating the Systemd Service
|
||||
Next we will create a systemd service which uses iptables to drop outbound connections made by the "no-internet" group
|
||||
```
|
||||
touch /etc/systemd/system/no-internet.service
|
||||
nano /etc/systemd/system/no-internet.service
|
||||
```
|
||||
Enter the following within the service file then write and quit
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Unit]
|
||||
Description=blocks network access for the group "no-internet"
|
||||
|
||||
[Service]
|
||||
ExecStart=iptables -I OUTPUT -m owner --gid-owner "no-internet" -j DROP
|
||||
|
||||
[Install]
|
||||
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Breakdown of iptables command:
|
||||
*iptables is an administration tool for IPv4/IPv6 packet filtering
|
||||
|
||||
*the -I OUTPUT flag specifies the rule is responsible for packets leaving the host
|
||||
|
||||
*the -m owner flag allows packet filtering based upon the owner of the process
|
||||
|
||||
*the --gid-owner "no-internet" flag specifies for the rule to match processes created by the group 'no-internet'
|
||||
|
||||
*the -j DROP flag specifies the action to take, in this case dropping the packetnn
|
||||
|
||||
Next we will reload our services, then enable no-internet so it persistently starts at boot
|
||||
```
|
||||
systemctl daemon-reload
|
||||
systemctl enable no-internet.service
|
||||
systemctl start no-internet.service
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: a similar effect could be achived via crontab by making an entry along the lines of
|
||||
```
|
||||
@reboot root iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -m owner --gid-owner "no-internet" -j DROP
