Binding a non root user to port 443

+1 vote

Is there a way to redirect ports 80 and 443 to 8443. I have a non root user but I cannot use CentOS firewalld nor iptables. I have tried these things. But it still fails.

One to One port range forwarding to different port range using IPTABLE?

After testing and looking at the kernel source, I realize that this mapping:

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 30000:40000 -j DNAT --to [local_ip]:10000-2000

Doesn't do a one-to-one port mapping
e.g.:

100.0.0.1:30000 > 192.168.0.5:10000
100.0.0.1.30001 > 192.168.0.5:10001
100.0.0.1.30002 > 192.168.0.5:10002

I was wondering if it was possible to do the 1:1 port range forwarding to different port ranges or if you have to use individual rules.

How to check whether any netfilter rules are set on a host

Is there a way to find out if there any iptables rules set on a machine ?

There are some indirect ways which will not always work; for example, I know that on most hosts, iptables -S will return the following output (when no iptable rules are set)
-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT

So you can check whether or not the number of output lines is greater than 3 (as an indication of whether or not iptables rules are set). But there are hosts on which there are more chains then these 3; these chains are set by application/services, even without any iptable rules which are set. And after running iptables -F on these machines, iptables -S will still show more than 3 chains, even that there are no iptables rules set in these chains.

So the question is - is there a way to know whether or not netfilter rules are set on a host, regardless of the number of chains ?

Can IPtable check for a valid IP address?

We suffer from DNS lookups with a response IP address which is not existing. Can Iptables check on this?
