Disable inbound advanced firewall rules on public interface only with Powershell for a Windows Radius/NPS server

 

 

Recently I built an NPS server for Radius authentication, and had to dual home it with one NIC in the DMZ and one on the production network.  I wanted to firewall everything on the DMZ interface but not affect the production interface.  That way I could then allow the traffic I wanted to enable on the DMZ interface port by port.  Assuming windows has correctly detected the profile on the two interfaces as “Domain” and “Public”, which it should based on the resources visible on each network, you can run the following script to disable traffic just on the public interface.

 

 

 

$LogFilePath = $env:LOCALAPPDATA + "\Cloudwyse\Logs\adv_firewall" + $(get-date -Format ddMMyy_HHmmss) + ".log"

Start-Transcript -Path $LogFilePath -NoClobber

 

$rules = Get-NetFirewallRule

$total = 0

foreach ($rule in $rules) {

if (($rule.Profile -like "any" -or $rule.Profile -match "public") -and $rule.enabled -like "True" -and $rule.direction -like "Inbound") {

if ($rule.Profile -like "any") {

  Set-NetFirewallRule -Name $rule.Name -Profile "Domain, Private"

  write-host "Setting" $rule.DisplayName "Domain, Private" }

elseif ($rule.Profile -match "Domain" -and $rule.Profile -match "private" -and  $rule.Profile -match "public" ) {

  Set-NetFirewallRule -Name $rule.Name -Profile "Domain, Private"

  write-host "Setting" $rule.DisplayName "Domain, Private" }

elseif ($rule.Profile -match "Domain" -and  $rule.Profile -match "public" ) {

  Set-NetFirewallRule -Name $rule.Name -Profile "Domain"

  write-host "Setting" $rule.DisplayName "Domain" }

elseif ($rule.Profile -match "Private" -and  $rule.Profile -match "public" ) {

  Set-NetFirewallRule -Name $rule.Name -Profile "Private"

  write-host "Setting" $rule.DisplayName "Private" }

elseif ($rule.Profile -like "public" ) {

  Disable-NetFirewallRule -Name $rule.Name

  write-host "Disabling" $rule.DisplayName }

else {write-host -ForegroundColor Red "Error - check logs"}

$total = $total +1  }}

write-host -ForegroundColor Yellow "$total rules processed"

Very Simple Powershell Ping test or IP scanner script

 

 

This simple Powershell script will carry out a quick check against each IP in a 24 bit subnet and return a value of true or false dependent on whether or not it receives a reply.  It’s similar to using an IP scanner or a ping script.

 

 

$subnet = "10.20.6."

1..254 | Foreach-Object {write-host "$Subnet$_..." (Test-Connection -ComputerName "$Subnet$_" -Quiet -Count 1 ) }

 

 

It’s simple and does the job as it is however you could obviously make it more fancy by exporting to csv or an array or emailing the output etc etc.
