BSDTV<p>A new BSDCan video has been posted:</p><p>A packet's journey through pf By Kristof Provost</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/JtSg6ylDALo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/JtSg6ylDALo</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>A walkthrough of a packet's journey through (FreeBSD's) pf, concentrating on the big picture and its implications.</p><p>We'll cover when packets are inspected, when rules are evaluated and how states are used. Along the way we'll cover what DTrace probes can show us, what some of pfctl's counters mean and just how many times pf can look at a single packet.</p><p>This talk is intended for firewall admins looking for a deeper understanding and aspiring pf developers. It is not a "How to use pf" talk.</p><p><a href="https://bsd.network/tags/pf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pf</span></a> <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/runbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>runbsd</span></a> <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freebsd</span></a></p>

Enrico<p>CVE-2023-4809: FreeBSD pf bypass when using IPv6</p><p>A few months ago, as part of our investigations on IPv6 security in the NetSecurityLab @ Sapienza University, we discovered a vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass rules in pf-based IPv6 firewalls in particular conditions.
