Overview
Configure Claude Code sandbox network isolation with trusted domains, custom access policies, and environment variables for secure network communication.
Agent Responsibilities
security-manager
- Design network security architecture
- Define trusted domains and policies
- Validate security configurations
- Create security documentation
cicd-engineer
- Implement network configurations
- Deploy firewall rules
- Setup environment variables
- Create monitoring tools
Phase 1: Audit Network Requirements
Identify required network access, external dependencies, and security constraints.
mkdir -p network-security/{policies,config,tests,docs}
# Document network requirements
cat > network-security/docs/NETWORK-REQUIREMENTS.md << 'EOF'
# Network Access Requirements
## External Dependencies
- Anthropic API (api.anthropic.com)
- GitHub (github.com, *.github.com)
- NPM Registry (npmjs.org)
- PyPI (pypi.org)
- Docker Hub (docker.io)
## Required Ports
- Outbound: 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS), 22 (SSH)
- Inbound: 3000, 5000, 8000, 8080 (Application)
## Protocols
- Allowed: HTTP/HTTPS, SSH, Git
- Blocked: FTP, Telnet, SMTP
## Rate Limits
- 100 requests/minute
- Burst: 150 requests
EOF
Phase 2: Design Security Policies
Create comprehensive network security policies with allow/deny rules.
cat > network-security/policies/network-policy.json << 'EOF'
{
"network_security": {
"mode": "whitelist",
"trusted_domains": [
"*.anthropic.com",
"api.openai.com",
"github.com",
"*.github.com",
"raw.githubusercontent.com",
"npmjs.org",
"registry.npmjs.org",
"pypi.org",
"files.pythonhosted.org",
"docker.io",
"registry-1.docker.io"
],
"blocked_domains": [
"*.malicious.com",
"suspicious.net"
],
"allowed_ports": {
"outbound": [80, 443, 22],
"inbound": [3000, 5000, 8000, 8080]
},
"rate_limiting": {
"enabled": true,
"requests_per_minute": 100,
"burst": 150
},
"dns_filtering": {
"enabled": true,
"block_private_ips": true,
"block_localhost_bypass": true
}
}
}
EOF
Phase 3: Implement Network Isolation
Deploy firewall rules, DNS filtering, and access controls.
cat > network-security/config/configure-network.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
set -e
echo "Configuring network security..."
# Configure firewall (iptables)
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3000 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -j ACCEPT
# DNS filtering
cat >> /etc/hosts << 'HOSTS'
127.0.0.1 malicious.com
127.0.0.1 suspicious.net
HOSTS
# Environment variables
cat > /etc/environment.d/network-security.conf << 'ENV'
HTTPS_PROXY=""
NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1"
TRUSTED_DOMAINS="anthropic.com,github.com,npmjs.org,pypi.org,docker.io"
ENV
echo "Network security configured"
EOF
chmod +x network-security/config/configure-network.sh
Phase 4: Test Access Controls
Validate network policies through comprehensive testing.
cat > network-security/tests/network-tests.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
echo "Testing Network Security..."
# Test trusted domain access
curl -s --max-time 5 https://api.anthropic.com && echo "✓ Trusted domain accessible"
# Test blocked domain
! curl -s --max-time 5 https://malicious.com && echo "✓ Blocked domain inaccessible"
# Test allowed ports
nc -zv localhost 3000 && echo "✓ Port 3000 accessible"
echo "Network tests complete"
EOF
chmod +x network-security/tests/network-tests.sh
Phase 5: Document Configuration
Create comprehensive documentation for network security setup.
cat > network-security/docs/DEPLOYMENT.md << 'EOF'
# Network Security Deployment
## Quick Start
1. Review requirements
2. Deploy configuration: `./network-security/config/configure-network.sh`
3. Test policies: `./network-security/tests/network-tests.sh`
4. Monitor: Check logs for violations
## Trusted Domains
- Anthropic API
- GitHub
- NPM/PyPI
- Docker Hub
## Monitoring
- Connection logs: `/var/log/connections.log`
- Firewall logs: `/var/log/firewall.log`
- DNS queries: `/var/log/dns.log`
## Maintenance
- Review monthly
- Update trusted domains as needed
- Audit logs weekly
