I am new to this Aws security to deploy in amazon webservice.
When i restrict security groups with some IP address, my application runs dead slow or it may not run also, thats the reason i am getting connection time out when i try to call webservice which is deployed in aws. When i open the IP address restriction in Security groups it works fine.
How to configure my AWS using security groups. so that my application is accessible to only to some restricted networks.
Please help me put on this.
Below are the my security group details
INBOUND
Type Protocol Port range Source
MYSQL TCP 3306 X.X.X.X/X
SSH TCP 22 X.X.X.X/X
HTTP TCP 80 X.X.X.X/X
OUBOUND
Type Protocol Port range Source
MYSQL TCP 3306 0.0.0.0/0
SSH TCP 22 0.0.0.0/0
HTTP TCP 80 0.0.0.0/0
i am using hibernate for DB connection from my web application. But everytime i am getting connection timeout with the above security group. but if i remove the IP address restrictions it works fine.
Note: DB connection works fine from mysql workbench
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://schemaname.amazonDBInsatnce:3306/test</property>
Security Groups will not "slow down" access to an Amazon EC2 instance. They are used to determine which ports are open to a given range of IP addresses. Either the traffic is allowed through, or it is not.
Security Groups can be defined for Inbound and Outbound traffic. By default, all Inbound traffic is denied and all Outbound traffic is permitted.
It is possible that your application is trying to access some external service and is timing-out, hence causing delays. Permitted all Outbound traffic is usually acceptable, so try that first and see if your application performs better.
Also, check the log files that your application is producing to see if any errors are being generated, which will give you a hint as to what might be happening.

in security groups I setted Inbound and Outbound rules to allow all trafices anywhere.
In general, Security groups should be configured with:
Inbound rules that permit access to the desired ports (eg port 80 for HTTP, port 443 for HTTPS, port 22 for SSH) from as few IP addresses as possible. For example, HTTP would be open to the Internet (0.0.0.0/0) but while SSH should be open only to your IP address
Outbound rules that "Allow All" outbound access because you can typically trust what is running on your own instance
In general, Network Access Control Lists (NACLS) should never be changed from their default "Allow All" state unless you have a very specific networking requirement (eg creating a DMZ). Security Groups are sufficient for controlling access.
I installed Grafana in an AWS linux machine. Post that i started Grafana server also which is there in bin folder. But still i am unable to access Grafana UI from a web browser. I am using below URL to access Grafana UI
http://52.209.135.66:8000/
I tried to check connectivity from terminal by using below command
wget http://52.209.135.66:8000/
the output of the command is
--2020-07-22 17:40:12-- http://52.209.135.66:8000/
Connecting to 52.209.135.66:8000... failed: Connection timed out.
Retrying.

Connecting to 52.209.135.66:8000...
As suggested in few online articles i executed below command to remove the firewall settings, still it is not accessible
sudo iptables -F
Can someone please help me in resolving this issue?
Check the following areas:
Inbound Rule for the Security Groups attached to your instance: they must allow for port 8000 coming from 0.0.0.0/0
Custom Network ACLs associated with the VPC subnet where your instance is provisioned (Default ACL should allow all traffic). Ensure either all traffic is allowed or there are rules that allow inbound traffic on port 8000 from 0.0.0.0/0 AND outbound traffic to anywhere on the peripheral ports.
The instance is in a public subnet: that is, there's route from the subnet to the Internet Gateway.
The IP address is associated with your instance
I want to secure my web server vm to limit mainly to 443 and 3389 ports strictly. I denied everything else both outbound and inbound in the NSG for the web vm. But I can't rdp after doing so. When I relax the NSG to allow all outbound, then rdp starts working. My question is what outbound ports and protocols the rdp service needs to be opened in nsg beside 3389?
thesushil: In my case it turns out, I just needed to add an outbound rule to allow Azure AD communication over http and https, because I have azure AD authentication enabled. But I think the answer below would be helpful to others.
Be default, the RDP server listens on TCP port 3389 and UDP port 3389. Read wiki. You also could change the listening port for remote desktop.
If you want to secure your Azure VM limit to 443 and 3389 ports, you can add inbound port rules like this to only allow your client-specific IP address to access your Azure VM.
Also, please note that If inbound traffic is allowed over a port, it's not necessary to
specify an outbound security rule to respond to traffic over the port. Read https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/security-overview#security-rules
Network security group security rules are evaluated by priority using
the 5-tuple information (source, source port, destination, destination
port, and protocol) to allow or deny the traffic. A flow record is
created for existing connections. Communication is allowed or denied
based on the connection state of the flow record. The flow record
allows a network security group to be stateful. If you specify an
outbound security rule to any address over port 80, for example, it's
not necessary to specify an inbound security rule for the response to
the outbound traffic. You only need to specify an inbound security
rule if communication is initiated externally. The opposite is also
true. If inbound traffic is allowed over a port, it's not necessary to
specify an outbound security rule to respond to traffic over the port.
Existing connections may not be interrupted when you remove a security
rule that enabled the flow. Traffic flows are interrupted when
connections are stopped and no traffic is flowing in either direction,
for at least a few minutes.
Hope it helps.
I have a subnet with Route table with the only route 0.0.0.0/0 => AzureFirewallIP in it.
Azure firewall does not have rules allowing access to external resources. But still I can telnet some.domain.com 443 and get connected!
WTF?
When I issue curl -k ... though, I get Encountered end of file.
According to Azure engineers this is by design and this has no security impact at all.
I have a Linux VM on azure, which I can access using SSH without any issues. I needed access to another port(lets say 7077) from outside, and here is what i have done so far, but unable to establish connectivity
Created an inbound rule from the networking settings, it created the rule on the Network security Group attached to the network interface.
Added a new Network Security Group, attached it to the Subnet
If I do a netcat request on port 22, i get a successful connectivity, but for the port 7077 I get connection refused.
Also with IP flow verification passes for the port
Any pointer would be helpful.
You need to allow that same port in the firewall settings of the VM. The OS itself is what is refusing the connection suggesting you have not setup any firewall rules to allow that port.
Try adding a allow rule in the firewall settings and see if you can reach that port.
