+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pf.conf
+.Nd packet filter configuration file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Xr pf 4
+packet filter modifies, drops or passes packets according to rules or
+definitions specified in
+.Nm pf.conf .
+.Sh STATEMENT ORDER
+There are seven types of statements in
+.Nm pf.conf :
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx
+.It Cm Macros
+User-defined variables may be defined and used later, simplifying
+the configuration file.
+Macros must be defined before they are referenced in
+.Nm pf.conf .
+.It Cm Tables
+Tables provide a mechanism for increasing the performance and flexibility of
+rules with large numbers of source or destination addresses.
+.It Cm Options
+Options tune the behaviour of the packet filtering engine.
+.It Cm Traffic Normalization Li (e.g. Em scrub )
+Traffic normalization protects internal machines against inconsistencies
+in Internet protocols and implementations.
+.It Cm Queueing
+Queueing provides rule-based bandwidth control.
+.It Cm Translation Li (Various forms of NAT)
+Translation rules specify how addresses are to be mapped or redirected to
+other addresses.
+.It Cm Packet Filtering
+Packet filtering provides rule-based blocking or passing of packets.
+.El
+.Pp
+With the exception of
+.Cm macros
+and
+.Cm tables ,
+the types of statements should be grouped and appear in
+.Nm pf.conf
+in the order shown above, as this matches the operation of the underlying
+packet filtering engine.
+By default
+.Xr pfctl 8
+enforces this order (see
+.Ar set require-order
+below).
+.Pp
+Comments can be put anywhere in the file using a hash mark
+.Pq Sq # ,
+and extend to the end of the current line.
+.Pp
+Additional configuration files can be included with the
+.Ic include
+keyword, for example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+include "/etc/pf/sub.filter.conf"
+.Ed
+.Sh MACROS
+Macros can be defined that will later be expanded in context.
+Macro names must start with a letter, and may contain letters, digits
+and underscores.
+Macro names may not be reserved words (for example
+.Ar pass ,
+.Ar in ,
+.Ar out ) .
+Macros are not expanded inside quotes.
+.Pp
+For example,
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+ext_if = \&"kue0\&"
+all_ifs = \&"{\&" $ext_if lo0 \&"}\&"
+pass out on $ext_if from any to any
+pass in  on $ext_if proto tcp from any to any port 25
+.Ed
+.Sh TABLES
+Tables are named structures which can hold a collection of addresses and
+networks.
+Lookups against tables in
+.Xr pf 4
+are relatively fast, making a single rule with tables much more efficient,
+in terms of
+processor usage and memory consumption, than a large number of rules which
+differ only in IP address (either created explicitly or automatically by rule
+expansion).
+.Pp
+Tables can be used as the source or destination of filter rules,
+.Ar scrub
+rules
+or
+translation rules such as
+.Ar nat
+or
+.Ar rdr
+(see below for details on the various rule types).
+Tables can also be used for the redirect address of
+.Ar nat
+and
+.Ar rdr
+rules and in the routing options of filter rules, but only for
+.Ar round-robin
+pools.
+.Pp
+Tables can be defined with any of the following
+.Xr pfctl 8
+mechanisms.
+As with macros, reserved words may not be used as table names.
+.Bl -tag -width "manually"
+.It Ar manually
+Persistent tables can be manually created with the
+.Ar add
+or
+.Ar replace
+option of
+.Xr pfctl 8 ,
+before or after the ruleset has been loaded.
+.It Pa pf.conf
+Table definitions can be placed directly in this file, and loaded at the
+same time as other rules are loaded, atomically.
+Table definitions inside
+.Nm pf.conf
+use the
+.Ar table
+statement, and are especially useful to define non-persistent tables.
+The contents of a pre-existing table defined without a list of addresses
+to initialize it is not altered when
+.Nm pf.conf
+is loaded.
+A table initialized with the empty list,
+.Li { } ,
+will be cleared on load.
+.El
+.Pp
+Tables may be defined with the following attributes:
+.Bl -tag -width persist
+.It Ar persist
+The
+.Ar persist
+flag forces the kernel to keep the table even when no rules refer to it.
+If the flag is not set, the kernel will automatically remove the table
+when the last rule referring to it is flushed.
+.It Ar const
+The
+.Ar const
+flag prevents the user from altering the contents of the table once it
+has been created.
+Without that flag,
+.Xr pfctl 8
+can be used to add or remove addresses from the table at any time, even
+when running with
+.Xr securelevel 7
+= 2.
+.It Ar counters
+The
+.Ar counters
+flag enables per-address packet and byte counters which can be displayed with
+.Xr pfctl 8 .
+.El
+.Pp
+For example,
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+table \*(Ltprivate\*(Gt const { 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16 }
+table \*(Ltbadhosts\*(Gt persist
+block on fxp0 from { \*(Ltprivate\*(Gt, \*(Ltbadhosts\*(Gt } to any
+.Ed
+.Pp
+creates a table called private, to hold RFC 1918 private network
+blocks, and a table called badhosts, which is initially empty.
+A filter rule is set up to block all traffic coming from addresses listed in
+either table.
+The private table cannot have its contents changed and the badhosts table
+will exist even when no active filter rules reference it.
+Addresses may later be added to the badhosts table, so that traffic from
+these hosts can be blocked by using
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# pfctl -t badhosts -Tadd 204.92.77.111
+.Ed
+.Pp
+A table can also be initialized with an address list specified in one or more
+external files, using the following syntax:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+table \*(Ltspam\*(Gt persist file \&"/etc/spammers\&" file \&"/etc/openrelays\&"
+block on fxp0 from \*(Ltspam\*(Gt to any
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The files
+.Pa /etc/spammers
+and
+.Pa /etc/openrelays
+list IP addresses, one per line.
+Any lines beginning with a # are treated as comments and ignored.
+In addition to being specified by IP address, hosts may also be
+specified by their hostname.
+When the resolver is called to add a hostname to a table,
+.Em all
+resulting IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are placed into the table.
+IP addresses can also be entered in a table by specifying a valid interface
+name, a valid interface group or the
+.Em self
+keyword, in which case all addresses assigned to the interface(s) will be
+added to the table.
+.Sh OPTIONS
+.Xr pf 4
+may be tuned for various situations using the
+.Ar set
+command.
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx
+.It Ar set timeout
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width "src.track" -compact
+.It Ar interval
+Interval between purging expired states and fragments.
+.It Ar frag
+Seconds before an unassembled fragment is expired.
+.It Ar src.track
+Length of time to retain a source tracking entry after the last state
+expires.
+.El
+.Pp
+When a packet matches a stateful connection, the seconds to live for the
+connection will be updated to that of the
+.Ar proto.modifier
+which corresponds to the connection state.
+Each packet which matches this state will reset the TTL.
+Tuning these values may improve the performance of the
+firewall at the risk of dropping valid idle connections.
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
+.It Ar tcp.first
+The state after the first packet.
+.It Ar tcp.opening
+The state before the destination host ever sends a packet.
+.It Ar tcp.established
+The fully established state.
+.It Ar tcp.closing
+The state after the first FIN has been sent.
+.It Ar tcp.finwait
+The state after both FINs have been exchanged and the connection is closed.
+Some hosts (notably web servers on Solaris) send TCP packets even after closing
+the connection.
+Increasing
+.Ar tcp.finwait
+(and possibly
+.Ar tcp.closing )
+can prevent blocking of such packets.
+.It Ar tcp.closed
+The state after one endpoint sends an RST.
+.El
+.Pp
+ICMP and UDP are handled in a fashion similar to TCP, but with a much more
+limited set of states:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
+.It Ar udp.first
+The state after the first packet.
+.It Ar udp.single
+The state if the source host sends more than one packet but the destination
+host has never sent one back.
+.It Ar udp.multiple
+The state if both hosts have sent packets.
+.It Ar icmp.first
+The state after the first packet.
+.It Ar icmp.error
+The state after an ICMP error came back in response to an ICMP packet.
+.El
+.Pp
+Other protocols are handled similarly to UDP:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
+.It Ar other.first
+.It Ar other.single
+.It Ar other.multiple
+.El
+.Pp
+Timeout values can be reduced adaptively as the number of state table
+entries grows.
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
+.It Ar adaptive.start
+When the number of state entries exceeds this value, adaptive scaling
+begins.
+All timeout values are scaled linearly with factor
+(adaptive.end - number of states) / (adaptive.end - adaptive.start).
+.It Ar adaptive.end
+When reaching this number of state entries, all timeout values become
+zero, effectively purging all state entries immediately.
+This value is used to define the scale factor, it should not actually
+be reached (set a lower state limit, see below).
+.El
+.Pp
+Adaptive timeouts are enabled by default, with an adaptive.start value
+equal to 60% of the state limit, and an adaptive.end value equal to
+120% of the state limit.
+They can be disabled by setting both adaptive.start and adaptive.end to 0.
+.Pp
+The adaptive timeout values can be defined both globally and for each rule.
+When used on a per-rule basis, the values relate to the number of
+states created by the rule, otherwise to the total number of
+states.
+.Pp
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+set timeout tcp.first 120
+set timeout tcp.established 86400
+set timeout { adaptive.start 6000, adaptive.end 12000 }
+set limit states 10000
+.Ed
+.Pp
+With 9000 state table entries, the timeout values are scaled to 50%
+(tcp.first 60, tcp.established 43200).
+.Pp
+.It Ar set loginterface
+Enable collection of packet and byte count statistics for the given
+interface or interface group.
+These statistics can be viewed using
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# pfctl -s info
+.Ed
+.Pp
+In this example
+.Xr pf 4
+collects statistics on the interface named dc0:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+set loginterface dc0
+.Ed
+.Pp
+One can disable the loginterface using:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+set loginterface none
+.Ed
+.Pp
+.It Ar set limit
+Sets hard limits on the memory pools used by the packet filter.
+See
+.Xr zone 9
+for an explanation of memory pools.
+.Pp
+For example,
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+set limit states 20000
+.Ed
+.Pp
+sets the maximum number of entries in the memory pool used by state table
+entries (generated by
+.Ar pass
+rules which do not specify
+.Ar no state )
+to 20000.
+Using
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+set limit frags 20000
+.Ed
+.Pp
+sets the maximum number of entries in the memory pool used for fragment
+reassembly (generated by
+.Ar scrub
+rules) to 20000.
+Using
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+set limit src-nodes 2000
+.Ed
+.Pp
+sets the maximum number of entries in the memory pool used for tracking
+source IP addresses (generated by the
+.Ar sticky-address
+and
+.Ar src.track
+options) to 2000.
+Using
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+set limit tables 1000
+set limit table-entries 100000
+.Ed
+.Pp
+sets limits on the memory pools used by tables.
+The first limits the number of tables that can exist to 1000.
+The second limits the overall number of addresses that can be stored
+in tables to 100000.
+.Pp
+Various limits can be combined on a single line:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+set limit { states 20000, frags 20000, src-nodes 2000 }
+.Ed
+.Pp
+.It Ar set ruleset-optimization
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxx -compact
+.It Ar none
+Disable the ruleset optimizer.
+.It Ar basic
+Enable basic ruleset optimization.
+This is the default behaviour.
+Basic ruleset optimization does four things to improve the
+performance of ruleset evaluations:
+.Pp
+.Bl -enum -compact
+.It
+remove duplicate rules
+.It
+remove rules that are a subset of another rule
+.It
+combine multiple rules into a table when advantageous
+.It
+re-order the rules to improve evaluation performance
+.El
+.Pp
+.It Ar profile
+Uses the currently loaded ruleset as a feedback profile to tailor the
+ordering of quick rules to actual network traffic.
+.El
+.Pp
+It is important to note that the ruleset optimizer will modify the ruleset
+to improve performance.
+A side effect of the ruleset modification is that per-rule accounting
+statistics will have different meanings than before.
+If per-rule accounting is important for billing purposes or whatnot,
+either the ruleset optimizer should not be used or a label field should
+be added to all of the accounting rules to act as optimization barriers.
+.Pp
+Optimization can also be set as a command-line argument to
+.Xr pfctl 8 ,
+overriding the settings in
+.Nm .
+.It Ar set optimization
+Optimize state timeouts for one of the following network environments:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
+.It Ar normal
+A normal network environment.
+Suitable for almost all networks.
+.It Ar high-latency
+A high-latency environment (such as a satellite connection).
+.It Ar satellite
+Alias for
+.Ar high-latency .
+.It Ar aggressive
+Aggressively expire connections.
+This can greatly reduce the memory usage of the firewall at the cost of
+dropping idle connections early.
+.It Ar conservative
+Extremely conservative settings.
+Avoid dropping legitimate connections at the
+expense of greater memory utilization (possibly much greater on a busy
+network) and slightly increased processor utilization.
+.El
+.Pp
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+set optimization aggressive
+.Ed
+.Pp
+.It Ar set block-policy
+The
+.Ar block-policy
+option sets the default behaviour for the packet
+.Ar block
+action:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxx -compact
+.It Ar drop
+Packet is silently dropped.
+.It Ar return
+A TCP RST is returned for blocked TCP packets,
+an ICMP UNREACHABLE is returned for blocked UDP packets,
+and all other packets are silently dropped.
+.El
+.Pp
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+set block-policy return
+.Ed
+.It Ar set state-policy
+The
+.Ar state-policy
+option sets the default behaviour for states:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width group-bound -compact
+.It Ar if-bound
+States are bound to interface.
+.It Ar floating
+States can match packets on any interfaces (the default).
+.El
+.Pp
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+set state-policy if-bound
+.Ed
+.It Ar set state-defaults
+The
+.Ar state-defaults
+option sets the state options for states created from rules
+without an explicit
+.Ar keep state .
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+set state-defaults pflow, no-sync
+.Ed
+.It Ar set hostid
+The 32-bit
+.Ar hostid
+identifies this firewall's state table entries to other firewalls
+in a
+.Xr pfsync 4
+failover cluster.
+By default the hostid is set to a pseudo-random value, however it may be
+desirable to manually configure it, for example to more easily identify the
+source of state table entries.
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+set hostid 1
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The hostid may be specified in either decimal or hexadecimal.
+.It Ar set require-order
+By default
+.Xr pfctl 8
+enforces an ordering of the statement types in the ruleset to:
+.Em options ,
+.Em normalization ,
+.Em queueing ,
+.Em translation ,
+.Em filtering .
+Setting this option to
+.Ar no
+disables this enforcement.
+There may be non-trivial and non-obvious implications to an out of
+order ruleset.
+Consider carefully before disabling the order enforcement.
+.It Ar set fingerprints
+Load fingerprints of known operating systems from the given filename.
+By default fingerprints of known operating systems are automatically
+loaded from
+.Xr pf.os 5
+in
+.Pa /etc
+but can be overridden via this option.
+Setting this option may leave a small period of time where the fingerprints
+referenced by the currently active ruleset are inconsistent until the new
+ruleset finishes loading.
+.Pp
+For example:
+.Pp
+.Dl set fingerprints \&"/etc/pf.os.devel\&"
+.Pp
+.It Ar set skip on Aq Ar ifspec
+List interfaces for which packets should not be filtered.
+Packets passing in or out on such interfaces are passed as if pf was
+disabled, i.e. pf does not process them in any way.
+This can be useful on loopback and other virtual interfaces, when
+packet filtering is not desired and can have unexpected effects.
+For example:
+.Pp
+.Dl set skip on lo0
+.Pp
+.It Ar set debug
+Set the debug
+.Ar level
+to one of the following:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxx -compact
+.It Ar none
+Don't generate debug messages.
+.It Ar urgent
+Generate debug messages only for serious errors.
+.It Ar misc
+Generate debug messages for various errors.
+.It Ar loud
+Generate debug messages for common conditions.
+.El
+.El
+.Sh TRAFFIC NORMALIZATION
+Traffic normalization is used to sanitize packet content in such
+a way that there are no ambiguities in packet interpretation on
+the receiving side.
+The normalizer does IP fragment reassembly to prevent attacks
+that confuse intrusion detection systems by sending overlapping
+IP fragments.
+Packet normalization is invoked with the
+.Ar scrub
+directive.
+.Pp
+.Ar scrub
+has the following options:
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx
+.It Ar no-df
+Clears the
+.Ar dont-fragment
+bit from a matching IP packet.
+Some operating systems are known to generate fragmented packets with the
+.Ar dont-fragment
+bit set.
+This is particularly true with NFS.
+.Ar Scrub
+will drop such fragmented
+.Ar dont-fragment
+packets unless
+.Ar no-df
+is specified.
+.Pp
+Unfortunately some operating systems also generate their
+.Ar dont-fragment
+packets with a zero IP identification field.
+Clearing the
+.Ar dont-fragment
+bit on packets with a zero IP ID may cause deleterious results if an
+upstream router later fragments the packet.
+Using the
+.Ar random-id
+modifier (see below) is recommended in combination with the
+.Ar no-df
+modifier to ensure unique IP identifiers.
+.It Ar min-ttl Aq Ar number
+Enforces a minimum TTL for matching IP packets.
+.It Ar max-mss Aq Ar number
+Enforces a maximum MSS for matching TCP packets.
+.It Xo Ar set-tos Aq Ar string
+.No \*(Ba Aq Ar number
+.Xc
+Enforces a
+.Em TOS
+for matching IP packets.
+.Em TOS
+may be
+given as one of
+.Ar lowdelay ,
+.Ar throughput ,
+.Ar reliability ,
+or as either hex or decimal.
+.It Ar random-id
+Replaces the IP identification field with random values to compensate
+for predictable values generated by many hosts.
+This option only applies to packets that are not fragmented
+after the optional fragment reassembly.
+.It Ar fragment reassemble
+Using
+.Ar scrub
+rules, fragments can be reassembled by normalization.
+In this case, fragments are buffered until they form a complete
+packet, and only the completed packet is passed on to the filter.
+The advantage is that filter rules have to deal only with complete
+packets, and can ignore fragments.
+The drawback of caching fragments is the additional memory cost.
+But the full reassembly method is the only method that currently works
+with NAT.
+This is the default behavior of a
+.Ar scrub
+rule if no fragmentation modifier is supplied.
+.It Ar fragment crop
+The default fragment reassembly method is expensive, hence the option
+to crop is provided.
+In this case,
+.Xr pf 4
+will track the fragments and cache a small range descriptor.
+Duplicate fragments are dropped and overlaps are cropped.
+Thus data will only occur once on the wire with ambiguities resolving to
+the first occurrence.
+Unlike the
+.Ar fragment reassemble
+modifier, fragments are not buffered, they are passed as soon as they
+are received.
+The
+.Ar fragment crop
+reassembly mechanism does not yet work with NAT.
+.Pp
+.It Ar fragment drop-ovl
+This option is similar to the
+.Ar fragment crop
+modifier except that all overlapping or duplicate fragments will be
+dropped, and all further corresponding fragments will be
+dropped as well.
+.It Ar reassemble tcp
+Statefully normalizes TCP connections.
+.Ar scrub reassemble tcp
+rules may not have the direction (in/out) specified.
+.Ar reassemble tcp
+performs the following normalizations:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width timeout -compact
+.It ttl
+Neither side of the connection is allowed to reduce their IP TTL.
+An attacker may send a packet such that it reaches the firewall, affects
+the firewall state, and expires before reaching the destination host.
+.Ar reassemble tcp
+will raise the TTL of all packets back up to the highest value seen on
+the connection.
+.It timestamp modulation
+Modern TCP stacks will send a timestamp on every TCP packet and echo
+the other endpoint's timestamp back to them.
+Many operating systems will merely start the timestamp at zero when
+first booted, and increment it several times a second.
+The uptime of the host can be deduced by reading the timestamp and multiplying
+by a constant.
+Also observing several different timestamps can be used to count hosts
+behind a NAT device.
+And spoofing TCP packets into a connection requires knowing or guessing
+valid timestamps.
+Timestamps merely need to be monotonically increasing and not derived off a
+guessable base time.
+.Ar reassemble tcp
+will cause
+.Ar scrub
+to modulate the TCP timestamps with a random number.
+.It extended PAWS checks
+There is a problem with TCP on long fat pipes, in that a packet might get
+delayed for longer than it takes the connection to wrap its 32-bit sequence
+space.
+In such an occurrence, the old packet would be indistinguishable from a
+new packet and would be accepted as such.
+The solution to this is called PAWS: Protection Against Wrapped Sequence
+numbers.
+It protects against it by making sure the timestamp on each packet does
+not go backwards.
+.Ar reassemble tcp
+also makes sure the timestamp on the packet does not go forward more
+than the RFC allows.
+By doing this,
+.Xr pf 4
+artificially extends the security of TCP sequence numbers by 10 to 18
+bits when the host uses appropriately randomized timestamps, since a
+blind attacker would have to guess the timestamp as well.
+.El
+.El
+.Pp
+For example,
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+scrub in on $ext_if all fragment reassemble
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar no
+option prefixed to a scrub rule causes matching packets to remain unscrubbed,
+much in the same way as
+.Ar drop quick
+works in the packet filter (see below).
+This mechanism should be used when it is necessary to exclude specific packets
+from broader scrub rules.
+.Sh QUEUEING
+The ALTQ system is currently not available in the GENERIC kernel nor as
+loadable modules.
+In order to use the herein after called queueing options one has to use a
+custom built kernel.
+Please refer to
+.Xr altq 4
+to learn about the related kernel options.
+.Pp
+Packets can be assigned to queues for the purpose of bandwidth
+control.
+At least two declarations are required to configure queues, and later
+any packet filtering rule can reference the defined queues by name.
+During the filtering component of
+.Nm pf.conf ,
+the last referenced
+.Ar queue
+name is where any packets from
+.Ar pass
+rules will be queued, while for
+.Ar block
+rules it specifies where any resulting ICMP or TCP RST
+packets should be queued.
+The
+.Ar scheduler
+defines the algorithm used to decide which packets get delayed, dropped, or
+sent out immediately.
+There are three
+.Ar schedulers
+currently supported.
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx
+.It Ar cbq
+Class Based Queueing.
+.Ar Queues
+attached to an interface build a tree, thus each
+.Ar queue
+can have further child
+.Ar queues .
+Each queue can have a
+.Ar priority
+and a
+.Ar bandwidth
+assigned.
+.Ar Priority
+mainly controls the time packets take to get sent out, while
+.Ar bandwidth
+has primarily effects on throughput.
+.Ar cbq
+achieves both partitioning and sharing of link bandwidth
+by hierarchically structured classes.
+Each class has its own
+.Ar queue

+Furthermore, with

+.Sh TRANSLATION
+Translation rules modify either the source or destination address of the
+packets associated with a stateful connection.
+A stateful connection is automatically created to track packets matching
+such a rule as long as they are not blocked by the filtering section of
+.Nm pf.conf .
+The translation engine modifies the specified address and/or port in the
+packet, recalculates IP, TCP and UDP checksums as necessary, and passes it to
+the packet filter for evaluation.
+.Pp
+Since translation occurs before filtering the filter
+engine will see packets as they look after any
+addresses and ports have been translated.
+Filter rules will therefore have to filter based on the translated
+address and port number.
+Packets that match a translation rule are only automatically passed if
+the
+.Ar pass
+modifier is given, otherwise they are
+still subject to
+.Ar block
+and
+.Ar pass
+rules.
+.Pp
+The state entry created permits
+.Xr pf 4
+to keep track of the original address for traffic associated with that state
+and correctly direct return traffic for that connection.
+.Pp
+Various types of translation are possible with pf:
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx
+.It Ar binat
+A
+.Ar binat
+rule specifies a bidirectional mapping between an external IP netblock
+and an internal IP netblock.
+.It Ar nat
+A
+.Ar nat
+rule specifies that IP addresses are to be changed as the packet
+traverses the given interface.
+This technique allows one or more IP addresses
+on the translating host to support network traffic for a larger range of
+machines on an "inside" network.
+Although in theory any IP address can be used on the inside, it is strongly
+recommended that one of the address ranges defined by RFC 1918 be used.
+These netblocks are:
+.Bd -literal
+10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (all of net 10, i.e., 10/8)
+172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (i.e., 172.16/12)
+192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (i.e., 192.168/16)
+.Ed
+.It Pa rdr
+The packet is redirected to another destination and possibly a
+different port.
+.Ar rdr
+rules can optionally specify port ranges instead of single ports.
+rdr ... port 2000:2999 -\*(Gt ... port 4000
+redirects ports 2000 to 2999 (inclusive) to port 4000.
+rdr ... port 2000:2999 -\*(Gt ... port 4000:*
+redirects port 2000 to 4000, 2001 to 4001, ..., 2999 to 4999.
+.El
+.Pp
+In addition to modifying the address, some translation rules may modify
+source or destination ports for
+.Xr tcp 4
+or
+.Xr udp 4
+connections; implicitly in the case of
+.Ar nat
+rules and explicitly in the case of
+.Ar rdr
+rules.
+Port numbers are never translated with a
+.Ar binat
+rule.
+.Pp
+Evaluation order of the translation rules is dependent on the type
+of the translation rules and of the direction of a packet.
+.Ar binat
+rules are always evaluated first.
+Then either the
+.Ar rdr
+rules are evaluated on an inbound packet or the
+.Ar nat
+rules on an outbound packet.
+Rules of the same type are evaluated in the same order in which they
+appear in the ruleset.
+The first matching rule decides what action is taken.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar no
+option prefixed to a translation rule causes packets to remain untranslated,
+much in the same way as
+.Ar drop quick
+works in the packet filter (see below).
+If no rule matches the packet it is passed to the filter engine unmodified.
+.Pp
+Translation rules apply only to packets that pass through
+the specified interface, and if no interface is specified,
+translation is applied to packets on all interfaces.
+For instance, redirecting port 80 on an external interface to an internal
+web server will only work for connections originating from the outside.
+Connections to the address of the external interface from local hosts will
+not be redirected, since such packets do not actually pass through the
+external interface.
+Redirections cannot reflect packets back through the interface they arrive
+on, they can only be redirected to hosts connected to different interfaces
+or to the firewall itself.
+.Pp
+Note that redirecting external incoming connections to the loopback
+address, as in
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+rdr on ne3 inet proto tcp to port smtp -\*(Gt 127.0.0.1 port spamd
+.Ed
+.Pp
+will effectively allow an external host to connect to daemons
+bound solely to the loopback address, circumventing the traditional
+blocking of such connections on a real interface.
+Unless this effect is desired, any of the local non-loopback addresses
+should be used as redirection target instead, which allows external
+connections only to daemons bound to this address or not bound to
+any address.
+.Pp
+See
+.Sx TRANSLATION EXAMPLES
+below.
+.Sh PACKET FILTERING
+.Xr pf 4
+has the ability to
+.Ar block
+and
+.Ar pass
+packets based on attributes of their layer 3 (see
+.Xr ip 4
+and
+.Xr ip6 4 )
+and layer 4 (see
+.Xr icmp 4 ,
+.Xr icmp6 4 ,
+.Xr tcp 4 ,
+.Xr udp 4 )
+headers.
+In addition, packets may also be
+assigned to queues for the purpose of bandwidth control.
+.Pp
+For each packet processed by the packet filter, the filter rules are
+evaluated in sequential order, from first to last.
+The last matching rule decides what action is taken.
+If no rule matches the packet, the default action is to pass
+the packet.
+.Pp
+The following actions can be used in the filter:
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx
+.It Ar block
+The packet is blocked.
+There are a number of ways in which a
+.Ar block
+rule can behave when blocking a packet.
+The default behaviour is to
+.Ar drop
+packets silently, however this can be overridden or made
+explicit either globally, by setting the
+.Ar block-policy
+option, or on a per-rule basis with one of the following options:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
+.It Ar drop
+The packet is silently dropped.
+.It Ar return-rst
+This applies only to
+.Xr tcp 4
+packets, and issues a TCP RST which closes the
+connection.
+.It Ar return-icmp
+.It Ar return-icmp6
+This causes ICMP messages to be returned for packets which match the rule.
+By default this is an ICMP UNREACHABLE message, however this
+can be overridden by specifying a message as a code or number.
+.It Ar return
+This causes a TCP RST to be returned for
+.Xr tcp 4
+packets and an ICMP UNREACHABLE for UDP and other packets.
+.El
+.Pp
+Options returning ICMP packets currently have no effect if
+.Xr pf 4
+operates on a
+.Xr if_bridge 4 ,
+as the code to support this feature has not yet been implemented.
+.Pp
+The simplest mechanism to block everything by default and only pass
+packets that match explicit rules is specify a first filter rule of:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+block all
+.Ed
+.It Ar pass
+The packet is passed;
+state is created unless the
+.Ar no state
+option is specified.
+.El
+.Pp
+By default
+.Xr pf 4
+filters packets statefully; the first time a packet matches a
+.Ar pass
+rule, a state entry is created; for subsequent packets the filter checks
+whether the packet matches any state.
+If it does, the packet is passed without evaluation of any rules.
+After the connection is closed or times out, the state entry is automatically
+removed.
+.Pp
+This has several advantages.
+For TCP connections, comparing a packet to a state involves checking
+its sequence numbers, as well as TCP timestamps if a
+.Ar scrub reassemble tcp
+rule applies to the connection.
+If these values are outside the narrow windows of expected
+values, the packet is dropped.
+This prevents spoofing attacks, such as when an attacker sends packets with
+a fake source address/port but does not know the connection's sequence
+numbers.
+Similarly,
+.Xr pf 4
+knows how to match ICMP replies to states.
+For example,
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+pass out inet proto icmp all icmp-type echoreq
+.Ed
+.Pp
+allows echo requests (such as those created by
+.Xr ping 8 )
+out statefully, and matches incoming echo replies correctly to states.
+.Pp
+Also, looking up states is usually faster than evaluating rules.
+If there are 50 rules, all of them are evaluated sequentially in O(n).
+Even with 50000 states, only 16 comparisons are needed to match a
+state, since states are stored in a binary search tree that allows
+searches in O(log2 n).
+.Pp
+Furthermore, correct handling of ICMP error messages is critical to
+many protocols, particularly TCP.
+.Xr pf 4
+matches ICMP error messages to the correct connection, checks them against
+connection parameters, and passes them if appropriate.
+For example if an ICMP source quench message referring to a stateful TCP
+connection arrives, it will be matched to the state and get passed.
+.Pp
+Finally, state tracking is required for
+.Ar nat , binat No and Ar rdr
+rules, in order to track address and port translations and reverse the
+translation on returning packets.
+.Pp
+.Xr pf 4
+will also create state for other protocols which are effectively stateless by
+nature.
+UDP packets are matched to states using only host addresses and ports,
+and other protocols are matched to states using only the host addresses.
+.Pp
+If stateless filtering of individual packets is desired,
+the
+.Ar no state
+keyword can be used to specify that state will not be created
+if this is the last matching rule.
+A number of parameters can also be set to affect how
+.Xr pf 4
+handles state tracking.
+See
+.Sx STATEFUL TRACKING OPTIONS
+below for further details.
+.Sh PARAMETERS
+The rule parameters specify the packets to which a rule applies.
+A packet always comes in on, or goes out through, one interface.
+Most parameters are optional.
+If a parameter is specified, the rule only applies to packets with
+matching attributes.
+Certain parameters can be expressed as lists, in which case
+.Xr pfctl 8
+generates all needed rule combinations.
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx
+.It Ar in No or Ar out
+This rule applies to incoming or outgoing packets.
+If neither
+.Ar in
+nor
+.Ar out
+are specified, the rule will match packets in both directions.
+.It Ar log
+In addition to the action specified, a log message is generated.
+Only the packet that establishes the state is logged,
+unless the
+.Ar no state
+option is specified.
+The logged packets are sent to a
+.Xr pflog 4
+interface, by default
+.Ar pflog0 .
+This interface is monitored by the
+.Xr pflogd 8
+logging daemon, which dumps the logged packets to the file
+.Pa /var/log/pflog
+in
+.Xr pcap 3
+binary format.
+.It Ar log (all)
+Used to force logging of all packets for a connection.
+This is not necessary when
+.Ar no state
+is explicitly specified.
+As with
+.Ar log ,
+packets are logged to
+.Xr pflog 4 .
+.It Ar log (user)
+Logs the
+.Ux
+user ID of the user that owns the socket and the PID of the process that
+has the socket open where the packet is sourced from or destined to
+(depending on which socket is local).
+This is in addition to the normal information logged.
+.Pp
+Only the first packet
+logged via
+.Ar log (all, user)
+will have the user credentials logged when using stateful matching.
+.It Ar log (to Aq Ar interface )
+Send logs to the specified
+.Xr pflog 4
+interface instead of
+.Ar pflog0 .
+.It Ar quick
+If a packet matches a rule which has the
+.Ar quick
+option set, this rule
+is considered the last matching rule, and evaluation of subsequent rules
+is skipped.
+.It Ar on Aq Ar interface
+This rule applies only to packets coming in on, or going out through, this
+particular interface or interface group.
+For more information on interface groups,
+see the
+.Ic group
+keyword in
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.It Aq Ar af
+This rule applies only to packets of this address family.
+Supported values are
+.Ar inet
+and
+.Ar inet6 .
+.It Ar proto Aq Ar protocol
+This rule applies only to packets of this protocol.
+Common protocols are
+.Xr icmp 4 ,
+.Xr icmp6 4 ,
+.Xr tcp 4 ,
+and
+.Xr udp 4 .
+For a list of all the protocol name to number mappings used by
+.Xr pfctl 8 ,

+.It Xo
+.Ar from Aq Ar source
+.Ar port Aq Ar source
+.Ar os Aq Ar source
+.Ar to Aq Ar dest
+.Ar port Aq Ar dest
+.Xc
+This rule applies only to packets with the specified source and destination
+addresses and ports.
+.Pp
+Addresses can be specified in CIDR notation (matching netblocks), as
+symbolic host names, interface names or interface group names, or as any
+of the following keywords:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -compact
+.It Ar any
+Any address.
+.It Ar no-route
+Any address which is not currently routable.
+.It Ar urpf-failed
+Any source address that fails a unicast reverse path forwarding (URPF)
+check, i.e. packets coming in on an interface other than that which holds
+the route back to the packet's source address.
+.It Aq Ar table
+Any address that matches the given table.
+.El
+.Pp
+Ranges of addresses are specified by using the
+.Sq -
+operator.
+For instance:
+.Dq 10.1.1.10 - 10.1.1.12
+means all addresses from 10.1.1.10 to 10.1.1.12,
+hence addresses 10.1.1.10, 10.1.1.11, and 10.1.1.12.
+.Pp
+Interface names and interface group names can have modifiers appended:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxx -compact
+.It Ar :network
+Translates to the network(s) attached to the interface.
+.It Ar :broadcast
+Translates to the interface's broadcast address(es).
+.It Ar :peer
+Translates to the point-to-point interface's peer address(es).
+.It Ar :0
+Do not include interface aliases.
+.El
+.Pp
+Host names may also have the
+.Ar :0
+option appended to restrict the name resolution to the first of each
+v4 and v6 address found.
+.Pp
+Host name resolution and interface to address translation are done at
+ruleset load-time.
+When the address of an interface (or host name) changes (under DHCP or PPP,
+for instance), the ruleset must be reloaded for the change to be reflected
+in the kernel.
+Surrounding the interface name (and optional modifiers) in parentheses
+changes this behaviour.
+When the interface name is surrounded by parentheses, the rule is
+automatically updated whenever the interface changes its address.
+The ruleset does not need to be reloaded.
+This is especially useful with
+.Ar nat .
+.Pp
+Ports can be specified either by number or by name.
+For example, port 80 can be specified as
+.Em www .
+For a list of all port name to number mappings used by
+.Xr pfctl 8 ,
+see the file
+.Pa /etc/services .
+.Pp
+Ports and ranges of ports are specified by using these operators:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+=	(equal)
+!=	(unequal)
+\*(Lt	(less than)
+\*(Le	(less than or equal)
+\*(Gt	(greater than)
+\*(Ge	(greater than or equal)
+:	(range including boundaries)
+\*(Gt\*(Lt	(range excluding boundaries)
+\*(Lt\*(Gt	(except range)
+.Ed
+.Pp
+.Sq \*(Gt\*(Lt ,
+.Sq \*(Lt\*(Gt
+and
+.Sq \&:
+are binary operators (they take two arguments).
+For instance:
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Ar port 2000:2004
+means
+.Sq all ports \*(Ge 2000 and \*(Le 2004 ,
+hence ports 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.
+.It Ar port 2000 \*(Gt\*(Lt 2004
+means
+.Sq all ports \*(Gt 2000 and \*(Lt 2004 ,
+hence ports 2001, 2002 and 2003.
+.It Ar port 2000 \*(Lt\*(Gt 2004
+means
+.Sq all ports \*(Lt 2000 or \*(Gt 2004 ,
+hence ports 1-1999 and 2005-65535.
+.El
+.Pp
+The operating system of the source host can be specified in the case of TCP
+rules with the
+.Ar OS
+modifier.
+See the
+.Sx OPERATING SYSTEM FINGERPRINTING
+section for more information.
+.Pp
+The host, port and OS specifications are optional, as in the following examples:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+pass in all
+pass in from any to any
+pass in proto tcp from any port \*(Le 1024 to any
+pass in proto tcp from any to any port 25
+pass in proto tcp from 10.0.0.0/8 port \*(Gt 1024 \e
+      to ! 10.1.2.3 port != ssh
+pass in proto tcp from any os "OpenBSD"
+.Ed
+.It Ar all
+This is equivalent to "from any to any".
+.It Ar group Aq Ar group
+Similar to
+.Ar user ,
+this rule only applies to packets of sockets owned by the specified group.
+.It Ar user Aq Ar user
+This rule only applies to packets of sockets owned by the specified user.
+For outgoing connections initiated from the firewall, this is the user
+that opened the connection.
+For incoming connections to the firewall itself, this is the user that
+listens on the destination port.
+For forwarded connections, where the firewall is not a connection endpoint,
+the user and group are
+.Em unknown .
+.Pp
+All packets, both outgoing and incoming, of one connection are associated
+with the same user and group.
+Only TCP and UDP packets can be associated with users; for other protocols
+these parameters are ignored.
+.Pp
+User and group refer to the effective (as opposed to the real) IDs, in
+case the socket is created by a setuid/setgid process.
+User and group IDs are stored when a socket is created;
+when a process creates a listening socket as root (for instance, by
+binding to a privileged port) and subsequently changes to another
+user ID (to drop privileges), the credentials will remain root.
+.Pp
+User and group IDs can be specified as either numbers or names.
+The syntax is similar to the one for ports.
+The value
+.Em unknown
+matches packets of forwarded connections.
+.Em unknown
+can only be used with the operators
+.Cm =
+and
+.Cm != .
+Other constructs like
+.Cm user \*(Ge unknown
+are invalid.
+Forwarded packets with unknown user and group ID match only rules
+that explicitly compare against
+.Em unknown
+with the operators
+.Cm =
+or
+.Cm != .
+For instance
+.Cm user \*(Ge 0
+does not match forwarded packets.
+The following example allows only selected users to open outgoing
+connections:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+block out proto { tcp, udp } all
+pass  out proto { tcp, udp } all user { \*(Lt 1000, dhartmei }
+.Ed
+.It Xo Ar flags Aq Ar a
+.Pf / Ns Aq Ar b
+.No \*(Ba / Ns Aq Ar b
+.No \*(Ba any
+.Xc
+This rule only applies to TCP packets that have the flags
+.Aq Ar a
+set out of set
+.Aq Ar b .
+Flags not specified in
+.Aq Ar b
+are ignored.
+For stateful connections, the default is
+.Ar flags S/SA .
+To indicate that flags should not be checked at all, specify
+.Ar flags any .
+The flags are: (F)IN, (S)YN, (R)ST, (P)USH, (A)CK, (U)RG, (E)CE, and C(W)R.
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Ar flags S/S
+Flag SYN is set.
+The other flags are ignored.
+.It Ar flags S/SA
+This is the default setting for stateful connections.
+Out of SYN and ACK, exactly SYN may be set.
+SYN, SYN+PSH and SYN+RST match, but SYN+ACK, ACK and ACK+RST do not.
+This is more restrictive than the previous example.
+.It Ar flags /SFRA
+If the first set is not specified, it defaults to none.
+All of SYN, FIN, RST and ACK must be unset.
+.El
+.Pp
+Because
+.Ar flags S/SA
+is applied by default (unless
+.Ar no state
+is specified), only the initial SYN packet of a TCP handshake will create
+a state for a TCP connection.
+It is possible to be less restrictive, and allow state creation from
+intermediate
+.Pq non-SYN
+packets, by specifying
+.Ar flags any .
+This will cause
+.Xr pf 4
+to synchronize to existing connections, for instance
+if one flushes the state table.
+However, states created from such intermediate packets may be missing
+connection details such as the TCP window scaling factor.
+States which modify the packet flow, such as those affected by
+.Ar nat , binat No or Ar rdr
+rules,
+.Ar modulate No or Ar synproxy state
+options, or scrubbed with
+.Ar reassemble tcp
+will also not be recoverable from intermediate packets.
+Such connections will stall and time out.
+.It Xo Ar icmp-type Aq Ar type

+.It Xo Ar icmp6-type Aq Ar type
+.Ar code Aq Ar code
+.Xc
+This rule only applies to ICMP or ICMPv6 packets with the specified type

+.It Xo Ar tos Aq Ar string
+.No \*(Ba Aq Ar number
+.Xc
+This rule applies to packets with the specified
+.Em TOS
+bits set.
+.Em TOS
+may be
+given as one of
+.Ar lowdelay ,
+.Ar throughput ,
+.Ar reliability ,
+or as either hex or decimal.
+.Pp
+For example, the following rules are identical:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+pass all tos lowdelay
+pass all tos 0x10
+pass all tos 16
+.Ed
+.It Ar allow-opts
+By default, IPv4 packets with IP options or IPv6 packets with routing
+extension headers are blocked.
+When
+.Ar allow-opts
+is specified for a
+.Ar pass
+rule, packets that pass the filter based on that rule (last matching)
+do so even if they contain IP options or routing extension headers.
+For packets that match state, the rule that initially created the
+state is used.
+The implicit
+.Ar pass
+rule that is used when a packet does not match any rules does not
+allow IP options.
+.It Ar label Aq Ar string
+Adds a label (name) to the rule, which can be used to identify the rule.
+For instance,
+pfctl -s labels
+shows per-rule statistics for rules that have labels.
+.Pp
+The following macros can be used in labels:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width $srcaddr -compact -offset indent
+.It Ar $if
+The interface.
+.It Ar $srcaddr
+The source IP address.
+.It Ar $dstaddr
+The destination IP address.
+.It Ar $srcport
+The source port specification.
+.It Ar $dstport
+The destination port specification.
+.It Ar $proto
+The protocol name.
+.It Ar $nr
+The rule number.
+.El
+.Pp
+For example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+ips = \&"{ 1.2.3.4, 1.2.3.5 }\&"
+pass in proto tcp from any to $ips \e
+      port \*(Gt 1023 label \&"$dstaddr:$dstport\&"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+expands to
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+pass in inet proto tcp from any to 1.2.3.4 \e

+pass in inet proto tcp from any to 1.2.3.5 \e
+      port \*(Gt 1023 label \&"1.2.3.5:\*(Gt1023\&"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The macro expansion for the
+.Ar label
+directive occurs only at configuration file parse time, not during runtime.
+.It Xo Ar queue Aq Ar queue
+.No \*(Ba ( Aq Ar queue ,
+.Aq Ar queue )
+.Xc
+Packets matching this rule will be assigned to the specified queue.
+If two queues are given, packets which have a

+and TCP ACKs with no data payload will be assigned to the second one.
+See
+.Sx QUEUEING

+.Pp
+For example:

+pass in proto tcp to port 25 queue mail
+pass in proto tcp to port 22 queue(ssh_bulk, ssh_prio)
+.Ed
+.It Ar tag Aq Ar string
+Packets matching this rule will be tagged with the
+specified string.
+The tag acts as an internal marker that can be used to
+identify these packets later on.
+This can be used, for example, to provide trust between
+interfaces and to determine if packets have been
+processed by translation rules.
+Tags are
+.Qq sticky ,
+meaning that the packet will be tagged even if the rule
+is not the last matching rule.
+Further matching rules can replace the tag with a
+new one but will not remove a previously applied tag.
+A packet is only ever assigned one tag at a time.
+Packet tagging can be done during
+.Ar nat ,
+.Ar rdr ,
+or
+.Ar binat
+rules in addition to filter rules.
+Tags take the same macros as labels (see above).
+.It Ar tagged Aq Ar string
+Used with filter, translation or scrub rules
+to specify that packets must already
+be tagged with the given tag in order to match the rule.
+Inverse tag matching can also be done
+by specifying the
+.Cm !\&
+operator before the
+.Ar tagged
+keyword.
+.It Ar rtable Aq Ar number
+Used to select an alternate routing table for the routing lookup.
+Only effective before the route lookup happened, i.e. when filtering inbound.
+.It Xo Ar divert-to Aq Ar host
+.Ar port Aq Ar port
+.Xc
+Used to redirect packets to a local socket bound to
+.Ar host
+and
+.Ar port .
+The packets will not be modified, so
+.Xr getsockname 2
+on the socket will return the original destination address of the packet.
+.It Ar divert-reply
+Used to receive replies for sockets that are bound to addresses
+which are not local to the machine.
+See
+.Xr setsockopt 2
+for information on how to bind these sockets.
+.It Ar probability Aq Ar number
+A probability attribute can be attached to a rule, with a value set between
+0 and 1, bounds not included.
+In that case, the rule will be honoured using the given probability value
+only.
+For example, the following rule will drop 20% of incoming ICMP packets:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+block in proto icmp probability 20%
+.Ed
+.El
+.Sh ROUTING
+If a packet matches a rule with a route option set, the packet filter will
+route the packet according to the type of route option.
+When such a rule creates state, the route option is also applied to all
+packets matching the same connection.
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx
+.It Ar fastroute
+The
+.Ar fastroute
+option does a normal route lookup to find the next hop for the packet.
+.It Ar route-to
+The
+.Ar route-to
+option routes the packet to the specified interface with an optional address
+for the next hop.
+When a
+.Ar route-to
+rule creates state, only packets that pass in the same direction as the
+filter rule specifies will be routed in this way.
+Packets passing in the opposite direction (replies) are not affected
+and are routed normally.
+.It Ar reply-to
+The
+.Ar reply-to
+option is similar to
+.Ar route-to ,
+but routes packets that pass in the opposite direction (replies) to the
+specified interface.
+Opposite direction is only defined in the context of a state entry, and
+.Ar reply-to
+is useful only in rules that create state.
+It can be used on systems with multiple external connections to
+route all outgoing packets of a connection through the interface
+the incoming connection arrived through (symmetric routing enforcement).
+.It Ar dup-to
+The
+.Ar dup-to
+option creates a duplicate of the packet and routes it like
+.Ar route-to .
+The original packet gets routed as it normally would.
+.El
+.Sh POOL OPTIONS
+For
+.Ar nat
+and
+.Ar rdr
+rules, (as well as for the
+.Ar route-to ,
+.Ar reply-to
+and
+.Ar dup-to
+rule options) for which there is a single redirection address which has a
+subnet mask smaller than 32 for IPv4 or 128 for IPv6 (more than one IP
+address), a variety of different methods for assigning this address can be
+used:
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx
+.It Ar bitmask
+The
+.Ar bitmask
+option applies the network portion of the redirection address to the address
+to be modified (source with
+.Ar nat ,
+destination with
+.Ar rdr ) .
+.It Ar random
+The
+.Ar random
+option selects an address at random within the defined block of addresses.
+.It Ar source-hash
+The
+.Ar source-hash
+option uses a hash of the source address to determine the redirection address,
+ensuring that the redirection address is always the same for a given source.
+An optional key can be specified after this keyword either in hex or as a
+string; by default
+.Xr pfctl 8
+randomly generates a key for source-hash every time the
+ruleset is reloaded.
+.It Ar round-robin
+The
+.Ar round-robin
+option loops through the redirection address(es).
+.Pp
+When more than one redirection address is specified,
+.Ar round-robin
+is the only permitted pool type.
+.It Ar static-port
+With
+.Ar nat
+rules, the
+.Ar static-port
+option prevents
+.Xr pf 4
+from modifying the source port on TCP and UDP packets.
+.El
+.Pp
+Additionally, the
+.Ar sticky-address
+option can be specified to help ensure that multiple connections from the
+same source are mapped to the same redirection address.
+This option can be used with the
+.Ar random
+and
+.Ar round-robin
+pool options.
+Note that by default these associations are destroyed as soon as there are
+no longer states which refer to them; in order to make the mappings last
+beyond the lifetime of the states, increase the global options with
+.Ar set timeout src.track .
+See
+.Sx STATEFUL TRACKING OPTIONS
+for more ways to control the source tracking.
+.Sh STATE MODULATION
+Much of the security derived from TCP is attributable to how well the
+initial sequence numbers (ISNs) are chosen.
+Some popular stack implementations choose
+.Em very
+poor ISNs and thus are normally susceptible to ISN prediction exploits.
+By applying a
+.Ar modulate state
+rule to a TCP connection,
+.Xr pf 4
+will create a high quality random sequence number for each connection
+endpoint.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar modulate state
+directive implicitly keeps state on the rule and is
+only applicable to TCP connections.
+.Pp
+For instance:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+block all
+pass out proto tcp from any to any modulate state
+pass in  proto tcp from any to any port 25 flags S/SFRA modulate state
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Note that modulated connections will not recover when the state table
+is lost (firewall reboot, flushing the state table, etc...).
+.Xr pf 4
+will not be able to infer a connection again after the state table flushes
+the connection's modulator.
+When the state is lost, the connection may be left dangling until the
+respective endpoints time out the connection.
+It is possible on a fast local network for the endpoints to start an ACK
+storm while trying to resynchronize after the loss of the modulator.
+The default
+.Ar flags
+settings (or a more strict equivalent) should be used on
+.Ar modulate state
+rules to prevent ACK storms.
+.Pp
+Note that alternative methods are available
+to prevent loss of the state table
+and allow for firewall failover.
+See
+.Xr carp 4
+and
+.Xr pfsync 4
+for further information.
+.Sh SYN PROXY
+By default,
+.Xr pf 4
+passes packets that are part of a
+.Xr tcp 4
+handshake between the endpoints.
+The
+.Ar synproxy state
+option can be used to cause
+.Xr pf 4
+itself to complete the handshake with the active endpoint, perform a handshake
+with the passive endpoint, and then forward packets between the endpoints.
+.Pp
+No packets are sent to the passive endpoint before the active endpoint has
+completed the handshake, hence so-called SYN floods with spoofed source
+addresses will not reach the passive endpoint, as the sender can't complete the
+handshake.
+.Pp
+The proxy is transparent to both endpoints, they each see a single
+connection from/to the other endpoint.
+.Xr pf 4
+chooses random initial sequence numbers for both handshakes.
+Once the handshakes are completed, the sequence number modulators
+(see previous section) are used to translate further packets of the
+connection.
+.Ar synproxy state
+includes
+.Ar modulate state .
+.Pp
+Rules with
+.Ar synproxy
+will not work if
+.Xr pf 4
+operates on a
+.Xr bridge 4 .
+.Pp
+Example:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+pass in proto tcp from any to any port www synproxy state
+.Ed
+.Sh STATEFUL TRACKING OPTIONS
+A number of options related to stateful tracking can be applied on a
+per-rule basis.
+.Ar keep state ,
+.Ar modulate state
+and
+.Ar synproxy state
+support these options, and
+.Ar keep state
+must be specified explicitly to apply options to a rule.
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
+.It Ar max Aq Ar number
+Limits the number of concurrent states the rule may create.
+When this limit is reached, further packets that would create
+state will not match this rule until existing states time out.
+.It Ar no-sync
+Prevent state changes for states created by this rule from appearing on the
+.Xr pfsync 4
+interface.
+.It Xo Aq Ar timeout
+.Aq Ar seconds
+.Xc
+Changes the timeout values used for states created by this rule.
+For a list of all valid timeout names, see
+.Sx OPTIONS
+above.
+.It Ar sloppy
+Uses a sloppy TCP connection tracker that does not check sequence
+numbers at all, which makes insertion and ICMP teardown attacks way
+easier.
+This is intended to be used in situations where one does not see all
+packets of a connection, e.g. in asymmetric routing situations.
+Cannot be used with modulate or synproxy state.
+.It Ar pflow
+States created by this rule are exported on the
+.Xr pflow 4
+interface.
+.El
+.Pp
+Multiple options can be specified, separated by commas:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+pass in proto tcp from any to any \e
+      port www keep state \e
+      (max 100, source-track rule, max-src-nodes 75, \e
+      max-src-states 3, tcp.established 60, tcp.closing 5)
+.Ed
+.Pp
+When the
+.Ar source-track
+keyword is specified, the number of states per source IP is tracked.
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
+.It Ar source-track rule
+The maximum number of states created by this rule is limited by the rule's
+.Ar max-src-nodes
+and
+.Ar max-src-states
+options.
+Only state entries created by this particular rule count toward the rule's
+limits.
+.It Ar source-track global
+The number of states created by all rules that use this option is limited.
+Each rule can specify different
+.Ar max-src-nodes
+and
+.Ar max-src-states
+options, however state entries created by any participating rule count towards
+each individual rule's limits.
+.El
+.Pp
+The following limits can be set:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
+.It Ar max-src-nodes Aq Ar number
+Limits the maximum number of source addresses which can simultaneously
+have state table entries.
+.It Ar max-src-states Aq Ar number
+Limits the maximum number of simultaneous state entries that a single
+source address can create with this rule.
+.El
+.Pp
+For stateful TCP connections, limits on established connections (connections
+which have completed the TCP 3-way handshake) can also be enforced
+per source IP.
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx -compact
+.It Ar max-src-conn Aq Ar number
+Limits the maximum number of simultaneous TCP connections which have
+completed the 3-way handshake that a single host can make.
+.It Xo Ar max-src-conn-rate Aq Ar number
+.No / Aq Ar seconds
+.Xc
+Limit the rate of new connections over a time interval.
+The connection rate is an approximation calculated as a moving average.
+.El
+.Pp
+Because the 3-way handshake ensures that the source address is not being
+spoofed, more aggressive action can be taken based on these limits.
+With the
+.Ar overload Aq Ar table
+state option, source IP addresses which hit either of the limits on
+established connections will be added to the named table.
+This table can be used in the ruleset to block further activity from
+the offending host, redirect it to a tarpit process, or restrict its
+bandwidth.
+.Pp
+The optional
+.Ar flush
+keyword kills all states created by the matching rule which originate
+from the host which exceeds these limits.
+The
+.Ar global
+modifier to the flush command kills all states originating from the
+offending host, regardless of which rule created the state.
+.Pp
+For example, the following rules will protect the webserver against
+hosts making more than 100 connections in 10 seconds.
+Any host which connects faster than this rate will have its address added
+to the
+.Aq bad_hosts
+table and have all states originating from it flushed.
+Any new packets arriving from this host will be dropped unconditionally
+by the block rule.

+.Ed
+.Sh OPERATING SYSTEM FINGERPRINTING
+Passive OS Fingerprinting is a mechanism to inspect nuances of a TCP
+connection's initial SYN packet and guess at the host's operating system.
+Unfortunately these nuances are easily spoofed by an attacker so the
+fingerprint is not useful in making security decisions.
+But the fingerprint is typically accurate enough to make policy decisions
+upon.
+.Pp
+The fingerprints may be specified by operating system class, by
+version, or by subtype/patchlevel.
+The class of an operating system is typically the vendor or genre
+and would be
+.Ox
+for the
+.Xr pf 4
+firewall itself.
+The version of the oldest available
+.Ox
+release on the main FTP site
+would be 2.6 and the fingerprint would be written
+.Pp
+.Dl \&"OpenBSD 2.6\&"
+.Pp
+The subtype of an operating system is typically used to describe the
+patchlevel if that patch led to changes in the TCP stack behavior.
+In the case of
+.Ox ,
+the only subtype is for a fingerprint that was
+normalized by the
+.Ar no-df
+scrub option and would be specified as
+.Pp
+.Dl \&"OpenBSD 3.3 no-df\&"
+.Pp
+Fingerprints for most popular operating systems are provided by
+.Xr pf.os 5 .
+Once
+.Xr pf 4
+is running, a complete list of known operating system fingerprints may
+be listed by running:
+.Pp
+.Dl # pfctl -so
+.Pp
+Filter rules can enforce policy at any level of operating system specification
+assuming a fingerprint is present.
+Policy could limit traffic to approved operating systems or even ban traffic
+from hosts that aren't at the latest service pack.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar unknown
+class can also be used as the fingerprint which will match packets for
+which no operating system fingerprint is known.
+.Pp
+Examples:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+pass  out proto tcp from any os OpenBSD
+block out proto tcp from any os Doors
+block out proto tcp from any os "Doors PT"
+block out proto tcp from any os "Doors PT SP3"
+block out from any os "unknown"
+pass on lo0 proto tcp from any os "OpenBSD 3.3 lo0"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Operating system fingerprinting is limited only to the TCP SYN packet.
+This means that it will not work on other protocols and will not match
+a currently established connection.
+.Pp
+Caveat: operating system fingerprints are occasionally wrong.
+There are three problems: an attacker can trivially craft his packets to
+appear as any operating system he chooses;
+an operating system patch could change the stack behavior and no fingerprints
+will match it until the database is updated;
+and multiple operating systems may have the same fingerprint.
+.Sh BLOCKING SPOOFED TRAFFIC
+"Spoofing" is the faking of IP addresses, typically for malicious
+purposes.
+The
+.Ar antispoof
+directive expands to a set of filter rules which will block all
+traffic with a source IP from the network(s) directly connected
+to the specified interface(s) from entering the system through
+any other interface.
+.Pp
+For example, the line
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+antispoof for lo0
+.Ed
+.Pp
+expands to
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+block drop in on ! lo0 inet from 127.0.0.1/8 to any
+block drop in on ! lo0 inet6 from ::1 to any
+.Ed
+.Pp
+For non-loopback interfaces, there are additional rules to block incoming
+packets with a source IP address identical to the interface's IP(s).
+For example, assuming the interface wi0 had an IP address of 10.0.0.1 and a
+netmask of 255.255.255.0,
+the line
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+antispoof for wi0 inet
+.Ed
+.Pp
+expands to
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+block drop in on ! wi0 inet from 10.0.0.0/24 to any
+block drop in inet from 10.0.0.1 to any
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Caveat: Rules created by the
+.Ar antispoof
+directive interfere with packets sent over loopback interfaces
+to local addresses.
+One should pass these explicitly.
+.Sh FRAGMENT HANDLING
+The size of IP datagrams (packets) can be significantly larger than the
+maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the network.
+In cases when it is necessary or more efficient to send such large packets,
+the large packet will be fragmented into many smaller packets that will each
+fit onto the wire.
+Unfortunately for a firewalling device, only the first logical fragment will
+contain the necessary header information for the subprotocol that allows
+.Xr pf 4
+to filter on things such as TCP ports or to perform NAT.
+.Pp
+Besides the use of
+.Ar scrub
+rules as described in
+.Sx TRAFFIC NORMALIZATION
+above, there are three options for handling fragments in the packet filter.
+.Pp
+One alternative is to filter individual fragments with filter rules.
+If no
+.Ar scrub
+rule applies to a fragment, it is passed to the filter.
+Filter rules with matching IP header parameters decide whether the
+fragment is passed or blocked, in the same way as complete packets
+are filtered.
+Without reassembly, fragments can only be filtered based on IP header
+fields (source/destination address, protocol), since subprotocol header
+fields are not available (TCP/UDP port numbers, ICMP code/type).
+The
+.Ar fragment
+option can be used to restrict filter rules to apply only to
+fragments, but not complete packets.
+Filter rules without the
+.Ar fragment
+option still apply to fragments, if they only specify IP header fields.
+For instance, the rule
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+pass in proto tcp from any to any port 80
+.Ed
+.Pp
+never applies to a fragment, even if the fragment is part of a TCP
+packet with destination port 80, because without reassembly this information
+is not available for each fragment.
+This also means that fragments cannot create new or match existing
+state table entries, which makes stateful filtering and address
+translation (NAT, redirection) for fragments impossible.
+.Pp
+It's also possible to reassemble only certain fragments by specifying
+source or destination addresses or protocols as parameters in
+.Ar scrub
+rules.
+.Pp
+In most cases, the benefits of reassembly outweigh the additional
+memory cost, and it's recommended to use
+.Ar scrub
+rules to reassemble
+all fragments via the
+.Ar fragment reassemble
+modifier.
+.Pp
+The memory allocated for fragment caching can be limited using
+.Xr pfctl 8 .
+Once this limit is reached, fragments that would have to be cached
+are dropped until other entries time out.
+The timeout value can also be adjusted.
+.Pp
+Currently, only IPv4 fragments are supported and IPv6 fragments
+are blocked unconditionally.
+.Sh ANCHORS
+Besides the main ruleset,
+.Xr pfctl 8
+can load rulesets into
+.Ar anchor
+attachment points.
+An
+.Ar anchor
+is a container that can hold rules, address tables, and other anchors.
+.Pp
+An
+.Ar anchor
+has a name which specifies the path where
+.Xr pfctl 8
+can be used to access the anchor to perform operations on it, such as
+attaching child anchors to it or loading rules into it.
+Anchors may be nested, with components separated by
+.Sq /
+characters, similar to how file system hierarchies are laid out.
+The main ruleset is actually the default anchor, so filter and
+translation rules, for example, may also be contained in any anchor.
+.Pp
+An anchor can reference another
+.Ar anchor
+attachment point
+using the following kinds
+of rules:
+.Bl -tag -width xxxx
+.It Ar nat-anchor Aq Ar name
+Evaluates the
+.Ar nat
+rules in the specified
+.Ar anchor .
+.It Ar rdr-anchor Aq Ar name
+Evaluates the

+.It Ar binat-anchor Aq Ar name

+.It Ar anchor Aq Ar name
+Evaluates the filter rules in the specified
+.Ar anchor .
+.It Xo Ar load anchor
+.Aq Ar name
+.Ar from Aq Ar file
+.Xc
+Loads the rules from the specified file into the
+anchor
+.Ar name .
+.El
+.Pp
+When evaluation of the main ruleset reaches an
+.Ar anchor
+rule,
+.Xr pf 4
+will proceed to evaluate all rules specified in that anchor.
+.Pp
+Matching filter and translation rules marked with the
+.Ar quick
+option are final and abort the evaluation of the rules in other
+anchors and the main ruleset.
+If the
+.Ar anchor
+itself is marked with the
+.Ar quick
+option,
+ruleset evaluation will terminate when the anchor is exited if the packet is
+matched by any rule within the anchor.
+.Pp
+.Ar anchor
+rules are evaluated relative to the anchor in which they are contained.
+For example, all
+.Ar anchor
+rules specified in the main ruleset will reference anchor
+attachment points underneath the main ruleset, and
+.Ar anchor
+rules specified in a file loaded from a
+.Ar load anchor
+rule will be attached under that anchor point.
+.Pp
+Rules may be contained in
+.Ar anchor
+attachment points which do not contain any rules when the main ruleset
+is loaded, and later such anchors can be manipulated through
+.Xr pfctl 8
+without reloading the main ruleset or other anchors.
+For example,

+.Pp
+This loads a single rule into the
+.Ar anchor ,
+which blocks all packets from a specific address.
+.Pp
+The anchor can also be populated by adding a
+.Ar load anchor
+rule after the
+.Ar anchor
+rule:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+anchor spam
+load anchor spam from "/etc/pf-spam.conf"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+When
+.Xr pfctl 8
+loads
+.Nm pf.conf ,
+it will also load all the rules from the file
+.Pa /etc/pf-spam.conf
+into the anchor.
+.Pp
+Optionally,
+.Ar anchor
+rules can specify packet filtering parameters using the same syntax as
+filter rules.
+When parameters are used, the
+.Ar anchor
+rule is only evaluated for matching packets.
+This allows conditional evaluation of anchors, like:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+block on $ext_if all
+anchor spam proto tcp from any to any port smtp
+pass out on $ext_if all
+pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from any to $ext_if port smtp
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The rules inside
+.Ar anchor
+spam are only evaluated for
+.Ar tcp
+packets with destination port 25.
+Hence,
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# echo \&"block in quick from 1.2.3.4 to any" \&| \e
+      pfctl -a spam -f -
+.Ed
+.Pp
+will only block connections from 1.2.3.4 to port 25.
+.Pp
+Anchors may end with the asterisk
+.Pq Sq *
+character, which signifies that all anchors attached at that point
+should be evaluated in the alphabetical ordering of their anchor name.
+For example,
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+anchor "spam/*"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+will evaluate each rule in each anchor attached to the
+.Li spam
+anchor.
+Note that it will only evaluate anchors that are directly attached to the
+.Li spam
+anchor, and will not descend to evaluate anchors recursively.
+.Pp
+Since anchors are evaluated relative to the anchor in which they are
+contained, there is a mechanism for accessing the parent and ancestor
+anchors of a given anchor.
+Similar to file system path name resolution, if the sequence
+.Dq ..
+appears as an anchor path component, the parent anchor of the current
+anchor in the path evaluation at that point will become the new current
+anchor.
+As an example, consider the following:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# echo ' anchor "spam/allowed" ' | pfctl -f -
+# echo -e ' anchor "../banned" \en pass' | \e
+      pfctl -a spam/allowed -f -
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Evaluation of the main ruleset will lead into the
+.Li spam/allowed
+anchor, which will evaluate the rules in the
+.Li spam/banned
+anchor, if any, before finally evaluating the
+.Ar pass
+rule.
+.Pp
+Filter rule
+.Ar anchors
+can also be loaded inline in the ruleset within a brace ('{' '}') delimited
+block.
+Brace delimited blocks may contain rules or other brace-delimited blocks.
+When anchors are loaded this way the anchor name becomes optional.
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+anchor "external" on egress {
+	block
+	anchor out {
+		pass proto tcp from any to port { 25, 80, 443 }
+	}
+	pass in proto tcp to any port 22
+}
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Since the parser specification for anchor names is a string, any
+reference to an anchor name containing
+.Sq /
+characters will require double quote
+.Pq Sq \&"
+characters around the anchor name.
+.Sh TRANSLATION EXAMPLES
+This example maps incoming requests on port 80 to port 8080, on
+which a daemon is running (because, for example, it is not run as root,
+and therefore lacks permission to bind to port 80).

+In the example below, vlan12 is configured as 192.168.168.1;
+the machine translates all packets coming from 192.168.168.0/24 to 204.92.77.111
+when they are going out any interface except vlan12.
+This has the net effect of making traffic from the 192.168.168.0/24
+network appear as though it is the Internet routable address
+204.92.77.111 to nodes behind any interface on the router except
+for the nodes on vlan12.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pf.os
+.Nd format of the operating system fingerprints file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Xr pf 4
+firewall and the
+.Xr tcpdump 1
+program can both fingerprint the operating system of hosts that
+originate an IPv4 TCP connection.
+The file consists of newline-separated records, one per fingerprint,
+containing nine colon
+.Pq Ql \&:
+separated fields.
+These fields are as follows:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width Description -offset indent -compact
+.It window
+The TCP window size.
+.It TTL
+The IP time to live.
+.It df
+The presence of the IPv4 don't fragment bit.
+.It packet size
+The size of the initial TCP packet.
+.It TCP options
+An ordered list of the TCP options.
+.It class
+The class of operating system.
+.It version
+The version of the operating system.
+.It subtype
+The subtype of patchlevel of the operating system.
+.It description
+The overall textual description of the operating system, version and subtype.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar window
+field corresponds to the th->th_win field in the TCP header and is the
+source host's advertised TCP window size.
+It may be between zero and 65,535 inclusive.
+The window size may be given as a multiple of a constant by prepending
+the size with a percent sign
+.Sq %
+and the value will be used as a modulus.
+Three special values may be used for the window size:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxx -offset indent -compact
+.It *
+An asterisk will wildcard the value so any window size will match.
+.It S
+Allow any window size which is a multiple of the maximum segment size (MSS).
+.It T
+Allow any window size which is a multiple of the maximum transmission unit
+(MTU).
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar ttl
+value is the initial time to live in the IP header.
+The fingerprint code will account for the volatility of the packet's TTL
+as it traverses a network.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar df
+bit corresponds to the Don't Fragment bit in an IPv4 header.
+It tells intermediate routers not to fragment the packet and is used for
+path MTU discovery.
+It may be either a zero or a one.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar packet size
+is the literal size of the full IP packet and is a function of all of
+the IP and TCP options.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar TCP options
+field is an ordered list of the individual TCP options that appear in the
+SYN packet.
+Each option is described by a single character separated by a comma and
+certain ones may include a value.
+The options are:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width Description -offset indent -compact
+.It Mnnn
+maximum segment size (MSS) option.
+The value is the maximum packet size of the network link which may
+include the
+.Sq %
+modulus or match all MSSes with the
+.Sq *
+value.
+.It N
+the NOP option (NO Operation).
+.It T[0]
+the timestamp option.
+Certain operating systems always start with a zero timestamp in which
+case a zero value is added to the option; otherwise no value is appended.
+.It S
+the Selective ACKnowledgement OK (SACKOK) option.
+.It Wnnn
+window scaling option.
+The value is the size of the window scaling which may include the
+.Sq %
+modulus or match all window scalings with the
+.Sq *
+value.
+.El
+.Pp
+No TCP options in the fingerprint may be given with a single dot
+.Sq \&. .
+.Pp
+An example of OpenBSD's TCP options are:
+.Pp
+.Dl M*,N,N,S,N,W0,N,N,T
+.Pp
+The first option
+.Ar M*
+is the MSS option and will match all values.
+The second and third options
+.Ar N
+will match two NOPs.
+The fourth option
+.Ar S
+will match the SACKOK option.
+The fifth
+.Ar N
+will match another NOP.
+The sixth
+.Ar W0
+will match a window scaling option with a zero scaling size.
+The seventh and eighth
+.Ar N
+options will match two NOPs.
+And the ninth and final option
+.Ar T
+will match the timestamp option with any time value.
+.Pp
+The TCP options in a fingerprint will only match packets with the
+exact same TCP options in the same order.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar class
+field is the class, genre or vendor of the operating system.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar version
+is the version of the operating system.
+It is used to distinguish between different fingerprints of operating
+systems of the same class but different versions.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar subtype
+is the subtype or patch level of the operating system version.
+It is used to distinguish between different fingerprints of operating
+systems of the same class and same version but slightly different
+patches or tweaking.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar description
+is a general description of the operating system, its version,
+patchlevel and any further useful details.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The fingerprint of a plain
+.Ox 3.3
+host is:
+.Bd -literal
+  16384:64:1:64:M*,N,N,S,N,W0,N,N,T:OpenBSD:3.3::OpenBSD 3.3
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The fingerprint of an
+.Ox 3.3
+host behind a PF scrubbing firewall with a no-df rule would be:
+.Bd -literal
+  16384:64:0:64:M*,N,N,S,N,W0,N,N,T:OpenBSD:3.3:!df:OpenBSD 3.3 scrub no-df
+.Ed
+.Pp
+An absolutely braindead embedded operating system fingerprint could be:
+.Bd -literal
+  65535:255:0:40:.:DUMMY:1.1:p3:Dummy embedded OS v1.1p3
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Xr tcpdump 1
+output of
+.Bd -literal
+  # tcpdump -s128 -c1 -nv 'tcp[13] == 2'
+  03:13:48.118526 10.0.0.1.3377 > 10.0.0.2.80: S [tcp sum ok] \e
+      534596083:534596083(0) win 57344 <mss 1460> (DF) [tos 0x10] \e
+      (ttl 64, id 11315, len 44)
+.Ed
+.Pp
+almost translates into the following fingerprint
+.Bd -literal
+  57344:64:1:44:M1460:	exampleOS:1.0::exampleOS 1.0
