					Watchblob - WatchGuard VPN on Linux
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					===================================
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					This tiny helper tool makes it possible to use WatchGuard / Firebox / <<whatever
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					they are actually called>> VPNs that use multi-factor authentication on Linux.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Rather than using OpenVPN's built-in dynamic challenge/response protocol, WatchGuard
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					has opted for a separate implementation negotiating credentials outside of the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					OpenVPN protocol, which makes it impossible to start those connections solely by
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					using the `openvpn` CLI and configuration files.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					What this application does has been reverse-engineered from the "WatchGuard Mobile VPN
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					with SSL" application on OS X. A writeup of the protocol and the security implications
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					will be linked here in the future.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					## Installation
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Make sure you have Go installed and `GOPATH` configured, then simply
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					`go get github.com/tazjin/watchblob`.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					## Usage
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Right now the usage is very simple. Make sure you have the correct OpenVPN client
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					config ready (this is normally supplied by the WatchGuard UI) simply run:
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					```
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					watchblob vpnserver.somedomain.org username p4ssw0rd
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					```
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					The server responds with a challenge which is displayed to the user, wait until you
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					receive the SMS code or whatever and enter it. `watchblob` then completes the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					credential negotiation and you may proceed to log in with OpenVPN using your username
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					and *the OTP token* (**not**  your password) as credentials.
