The SYSRQ target allows to remotely trigger sysrq on the local machine over the
network. This can be useful when vital parts of the machine hang, for example
an oops in a filesystem causing locks to be not released and processes to get
stuck as a result -- if still possible, use /proc/sysrq-trigger. Even when
stuck as a result - if still possible, use /proc/sysrq-trigger. Even when
processes are stuck, interrupts are likely to be still processed, and as such,
sysrq can be triggered through incoming network packets.

This xt_SYSRQ implementation does not use any encryption, so you should change
the SYSRQ password after use unless you have made sure it was transmitted
securely and no one sniffed the network, e.g. by use of an IPsec tunnel whose
endpoint is at the machine where you want to trigger the sysrq. Also, you
should limit as to who can issue commands using \fB-s\fP and/or \fB-m mac\fP,
and also that the destination is correct using \fB-d\fP (to protect against
potential broadcast packets), noting that it is still short of MAC/IP spoofing:
The xt_SYSRQ implementation uses a salted hash and a sequence number to prevent
network sniffers from either guessing the password or replaying earlier
requests. The initial sequence number comes from the time of day so you will
have a small window of vulnerability should time go backwards at a reboot.
However, the file /sys/module/xt_SYSREQ/seqno can be used to both query and
update the current sequence number. Also, you should limit as to who can issue
commands using \fB-s\fP and/or \fB-m mac\fP, and also that the destination is
correct using \fB-d\fP (to protect against potential broadcast packets), noting
that it is still short of MAC/IP spoofing:
.IP
-A INPUT -s 10.10.25.1 -m mac --mac-source aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff -d 10.10.25.7
-p udp --dport 9 -j SYSRQ

.PP
You should also limit the rate at which connections can be received to limit
the CPU time taken by illegal requests, for example:
.IP
-A INPUT 0s 10.10.25.1 -m mac --mac-source aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff -d 10.10.25.7
-p udp --dport 9 -m limit --limit 5/minute -j SYSRQ
.PP
This extension does not take any options. The \fB-p udp\fP options are
required.
.PP
The SYSRQ password can be changed through
/sys/module/xt_SYSRQ/parameters/password; note you need to use `echo -n` to
not add a newline to the password, i.e.
/sys/module/xt_SYSRQ/parameters/password, for example:
.IP
echo -n "password" >/sys/.../password
echo -n "password" >/sys/module/xt_SYSRQ/parameters/password
.PP
Alternatively, the password may be specified at modprobe time, but this is
insecure as people can possible see it through ps(1). You can use an option
line in /etc/modprobe.d/sysrq if it is properly guarded, that is, only readable
by root.

.PP
To trigger SYSRQ from a remote host, just use netcat or socat, specifying the
action (only one) as first character, followed by the password:
The hash algorithm can also be specified as a module option, for example, to
use SHA-256 instead of the default SHA-1:
.IP
echo -n "scookies" | socat stdin udp-sendto:10.10.25.7:9
.IP
echo -n "scookies" | netcat -u 10.10.25.7 9
options xt_SYSRQ hash=sha256
.PP
See the Linux docs for possible sysrq keys. Important ones are:
re(b)oot, power(o)ff, (s)ync filesystems, (u)mount and remount readonly.
The xt_SYSRQ module is normally silent unless a successful request is received,
but the \fIdebug\fP module parameter can be used to find exactly why a
seemingly correct request is not being processed.
.PP
To trigger SYSRQ from a remote host, just use netcat or socat:
.PP
.nf
sysrq_key="s" # the SysRq key(s)
password="password"
seqno="$(date +%s)"
salt="$(dd bs=12 count=1 if=/dev/urandom 2>/dev/null |
openssl enc -base64)"
req="$sysrq_key,$seqno,$salt"
req="$req,$(echo -n "$req,$password" | sha1sum | cut -c1-40)"
echo "$req" | socat stdin udp-sendto:10.10.25.7:9
# or
echo "$req" | netcat -uw1 10.10.25.7 9
.fi
.PP
See the Linux docs for possible sysrq keys. Important ones are: re(b)oot,
power(o)ff, (s)ync filesystems, (u)mount and remount readonly. More than one
sysrq key can be used at once, but bear in mind that, for example, a sync may
not complete before a subsequent reboot or poweroff.
.PP
The hashing scheme should be enough to prevent mis-use of SYSRQ in many
environments, but it is not perfect: take reasonable precautions to
protect your machines. Most importantly ensure that each machine has a
different password; there is scant protection for a SYSRQ packet being
applied to a machine that happens to have the same password.
