From f5d471ce41c5277c62dd650e087ebfff78cf7fd1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ammar Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2025 10:49:28 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 01/13] fix: Remove dependency on `ip` command for container support Fixes #74 ## Problem httpjail failed when running inside Docker containers or minimal environments that don't include the `iproute2` package (which provides the `ip` command). This affected users running httpjail in: - Minimal container images (Alpine, distroless, etc.) - Container runtimes like sysbox-runc that provide CAP_SYS_ADMIN but don't include iproute2 - Custom sandbox environments with limited userspace tools ## Solution Replaced all `ip` command invocations with direct syscalls and netlink operations using the `rtnetlink` and `nix` crates. The implementation now: 1. **Network namespace management**: Uses `unshare()` + bind-mount instead of `ip netns add/del` 2. **Veth pair creation**: Uses rtnetlink instead of `ip link add` 3. **Interface configuration**: Uses rtnetlink for IP addresses and link state instead of `ip addr` and `ip link set` 4. **Namespace execution**: Uses `setns()` + `fork()`/`exec()` instead of `ip netns exec` ## Changes ### New Module: `src/jail/linux/netlink.rs` - `create_netns()` / `delete_netns()`: Manage persistent namespaces - `create_veth_pair()`: Create virtual ethernet pairs - `move_link_to_netns()`: Move interfaces between namespaces - `set_link_up()`: Configure link state - `add_addr()`: Add IP addresses to interfaces - `add_default_route()`: Add routing entries - `execute_in_netns()`: Execute commands in namespaces with privilege dropping - `get_handle_in_netns()`: Get netlink handle in a specific namespace ### Updated Files - `src/jail/linux/resources.rs`: Use netlink functions for namespace/veth resources - `src/jail/linux/mod.rs`: Use netlink for all network configuration and command execution - `Cargo.toml`: Add dependencies: `rtnetlink`, `netlink-packet-route`, `futures`, `nix` - `docs/guide/platform-support.md`: Document container support and removed `ip` dependency ## Testing Built and tested successfully on Linux. The implementation: - Maintains all existing functionality - Works in environments without `iproute2` - Still requires `nft` for nftables rules (documented requirement) - Still requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN and CAP_NET_ADMIN (no change) ## Benefits 1. **Container compatibility**: Works in minimal images and sysbox-runc 2. **Smaller attack surface**: Fewer external dependencies 3. **Better error handling**: Direct syscall errors vs parsing command output 4. **Performance**: No process spawning overhead for network operations 5. **Maintainability**: Pure Rust implementation ## Breaking Changes None. This is a drop-in replacement that maintains the same external behavior. ## Documentation Updated platform support documentation to note that `iproute2` is no longer required and added examples for running inside containers. --- Cargo.lock | 127 ++++++++++ Cargo.toml | 4 + docs/guide/platform-support.md | 111 +++++---- src/jail/linux/mod.rs | 202 ++++++---------- src/jail/linux/netlink.rs | 408

PF translation rules (such as `rdr` and `route-to`) cannot match on user or group, making transparent traffic interception impossible. As a result, httpjail operates in "weak mode" on macOS, relying on applications to respect the `HTTP_PROXY` and `HTTPS_PROXY` environment variables.
