Colin wrote: On Aug 2, 2005, at 7:50 PM, Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales wrote: Hi there, I was wondering what tools should I use to detect security flaws to my server and a few tips on how to use them. What are the most common forms of attack and how do I avoid being attacked by one of them? The services avaliable are only Apache - SSL and SSH. I've installed an firewall, iptables and firestarter to control it, and blocked all ports except 443 and 8080, where the SSH is listening. Apache has PHP installed as a module. Want to know how secure your server is? Try and hack it! a better place to start would be a simple inventory of what you are running, its version, configuration and what you want to run. If there's a delta, justify or fix. no need to do any sort of Port scanning or penetration testing 80% of the time. a simple inventory most of your security questions right off the bat. Of course it's not as sexy or ego inflating as running penetration tools but it gives you one thing the others don't. And audit trail. Something you can show to your lawyers and insurance people that you practiced due diligence in knowing your system vulnerabilities. if you are running Apache however you do need to run some form of attack because it is trivially easy to write an Apache configuration which leaves you butt naked to the world and not know it until you've been had. there are similarly complex services (i.e. Samba) that leave you easily vulnerable. so my advice would be to use more secure and easily secured alternatives whenever possible. A good port scanner like nmap should be a basic check of your firewall. I would also set nmap (if it can do this) to perform a SYN flood as it scans, to see if your server can withstand that basic DoS attack. (Adding --syn to your TCP rules in iptables can prevent SYN flooding when used with SYN cookies.) When you break in, find out why it worked and how it can be patched. Some things I would advise (I'm currently working on a server at the moment as well): - If the server is really important (or if you're paranoid), use the hardened-sources with PIE/SSP to prevent badly-written programs from arbitrarily executing code. you should run this no matter what. There is no excuse to leaving yourself vulnerable to these kinds of attacks if there is a method of catching them. Security is not just a single layer. It's multiple layers of good coding, language used, and operating system provided barriers. Since developers insist on using languages like C, C++ providing features behind most security problems, you really need PIE/SSP in place for when the inevitable mistake happens. - Enable SYN flood protection. There's a kernel option somewhere about IPv4 SYN cookies, enable that, and couple it with --syn attached to your TCP rules in iptables. It's a very popular denial- of-service attack. again, never run without it. That way you don't need to do any testing because the problem is handled. - Whenever you need to login or authenticate yourself, make the system delay five seconds after a bad password is entered. This will make a brute-force attack much much slower (0.2 passwords/sec as opposed to millions passwords/sec without a delay, depending on your server's speed). again should be built-in to system services. Why do it yourself and risk error? - Make sure iptables is set to deny all traffic that isn't explicitly allowed. apparently good statement but let's look at the implications. if the services aren't on and there is nothing listening on the port, this isn't really necessary. if the services are on but not needed, see recommendation above about turning them off. if services are needed on one interface but not the other, bind to the right interface. It would make sense to use a deny rule in case something goes wrong. if you are providing services to the net at large, deny rules are not practical. If you're providing services to a limited number of people on the net at large, you need to worry more about authentication and communications confidentiality. If you are providing services internally, may be practical in some cases, but more likely to bite you in the butt when things change on the internal network. that's all the cases I can think of, any others? - Read through your logs every now and then. I highly advise having the server burn them to a CD/floppy every now and then for an instant backup. Get a log reader/parser, too. very good advice. I personally like the idea of storing logs on another machine. But a log reader/parser to bring out the highlights. Also be prepared to spend hours every day verifying each log quirk. Whenever possible, try to eliminate noise from the logs so you can pull out the real information necessary to detect problems. Naturally, hide the server in the attic or basement. Chain it to

Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales wrote: He claims that if someone invades my machine, it will have direct access to all data. That I have to distribute the database, put it in another machine and have the web application access that database over the network. I feel this is a bit overkill. Not only it would force the data travel through the network, slowing it down, but would also increase the complexity of the security layout, forcing to make the two machines very secure, unstead of just one of them. Besides, I might be wrong, but I feel that a Local Socket is faster and safer than Corba trasmitting data over the internal network. If anybody has any comments, I'd be more than happy to hear it. first, on the issue of distributing, yes, you will have a nominally more secure application. This assumes of course that the attacker cannot take any part of your application and use it against you by accessing the database themselves. the interesting paradox is that by moving your application to another machine and using a network between them for communicating data, the application usually runs faster. Think carefully about the RPC mechanism. Don't try to reinvent the wheel with your own socket connection because you will spend a lot of time getting it right and validating it when you could be doing other things that are more fun, productive, and impressing your boss with your lack of not invented here attitude. corba is complex to get started but it is one of the faster RPC mechanisms available (if memory serves). XML RPC is trivially easy to use but is much slower because of XML. Sun RPC. Well, it's a gray beard. Try not to use it. On the security profile, don't sweat it. The best you can do is set out the local machine firewalls to deny access from each other except for the database connection. ssh should only be permitted from your green network. Everything else really depends on what you need exposed and where. connection security can be handled with SSL. Many database engines support this (if memory serves). ---eric -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] updating mostly identical systems
I need feedback on this cunning plan. I have five (virtual machine) systems which are mostly identical. Originally I customized each one with a different set of use flags. Each one has a different set of applications with a common core. I started updating them last night and woke up this morning to three of them building xorg-x11 (and they're still at it, pity my poor CPUs). Needless to say this pushed my Mr. grumpy hot button and I want to change how I do things. I'm beginning to think what I should do is create a unified make.conf which is as common as possible. Only difference being maybe the references to the cache (which is one of the five machines). after creating a unified make.conf, I believe I should set up a build process on one machine to create binary packages as well as managing its disk space cleaning up the temporary directory, and expiring old or redundant packages. Then the four other machines should install the binary packages in preference to building their own. But after the binary packages are installed, they should go through a source update for their own individual packages. make sense? what would be the best way for the four other machines to access the binary packages? NFS? File copy? suggestions for managing disk space and expiring old packages? I've found one which I'm trying out (distmaint) but it takes so long, it's definitely a candidate for cron. suggestions are most appreciated. I want to make this process of updating a faster one requiring less attention. thank you ---eric -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Luke, you been using it for 3 months and never used e16. So, would you said that I should start my experience with enlightenment wm in its newer version and skip the learning stage in its stable version? :) Christoph, I can't find the screenshot I saw and made me think about moving to E, but this one is also good and has the panel (right under the IM app) I was talking about: http://www.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~uriel/images/screen.jpg My aim for the desktop look is something simple, with gentoo icons at the bottom for shortcuts to most used apps and that stuff (calendar and info panel)... [now I think that I may misused the word panel.. sorry!] I will need help to make it look like that.. and guide or howto? A question before emerging e17: that won't replace e16, right?

First thing is-- I know that the Handbook suggests to set it alsasound in the boot runlevel, but I find it works better when set in the default runlevel. Ime, alsasound vastly prefers modules rather than static compiles wherever possible, and in the boot runlevel, the modules are not loaded yet, as modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.x has not yet run. I suspect you may basically be asking alsasound to load modules before they are available, either statically, or certainly as modules. Besides, you don't need sound in the boot runlevel anyway-- what is there to hear? Hope this helps, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi, I wanted to provide wireless connection to the internet for other laptops at home. To do this, one laptop is connected via eth0 and wlan0 should work as AP to all others. I have been following the HOWTO:http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Building_a_Wireless_Access_Point_With_Gentoo and trying to find solution in forums... but I can't get it working. The wireless card is working with ndiswrapper. When I try to set it to Master, I get this: # iwconfig wlan0 mode Master Error for wireless request Set Mode (8B06) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Does this means that the card is unable to perform the task I want, or what am I doing wrong? Is there any other HOWTO with better instructions? Or anyone that can provide me a step-by-step configuration? Thanks in advance. Fernando.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with genlop
Hum, because of your post, I began to believe it is not only my problem. And voila! A bug has been filed for it: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99823 It is caused by a change in behaviour in sandbox such that the file /tmp/sandboxpids.tmp, which genlop uses to determine if a emerge is going on, is no longer used, resulting in genlop never catching a emerge. It is allegedly fixed in 0.30.4 There is a patch in the bugzilla thread if you really want the fix now.

[gentoo-user] Botched Gentoo Install
Hello all, This will be a bit lengthy and I apologize for that, but I don't know exactly where I went wrong, so am providing all details. First, I am new to Gentoo, but not new to Linux. I have installed source tarballs on other distributions (mostly Redhat and Fedora), but have never configured Linux in the same manner as required for Gentoo. However, I am not stupid, although not a computer science grad, so all I really need is a push in the right direction with an explanation that doesn't required you to be a geek to understand (I'm a wanna be geek, but nowhere near that elite status! :-) ). Okay, short story first. This was my second attempt at installing Gentoo. The first time, I got to the point where I could boot from the hard drive, but when I tried to connect to the network (i.e. my isp via cable modem), I had no connection. I had missed a step somewhere. Anyway, I went back to square one because I wasn't sure exactly where I had missed the step and even if I could have surmised it, I wasn't sure if I could recover from that point. This wasn't a problem and it was a good learning experience. Attempt 2 was successful in that I could boot my system and eth0 was recognized and functional. From here, I did a quantum leap. I didn't know where to start so, I just typed 'emerge kde' 3 days later, kde was installed along with X, which of course I know kde is dependent on. At this point, I tried to startx to see what the system looked like and to try to determine exactly how much of kde had been installed - ie whether I had any further components to install. Well, that's where my problem starts. After attempting to connect to the xserver, I got my shell prompt back again with the following printed on the screen: New driver is i810 (==)Using default built in configuration (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such device -- I have no idea what this means (EE) GARTinit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (no such file or directory) (EE)I810(0) AGPGART support is not available. Make sure your kernel has agpgart support or that the agpgart kernel module is loaded (EE)Screens found, but non have useable configuration Fatal server error: no screens found Now for the details: When I initially booted from the Gentoo CD, at the boot prompt, I typed gentoo dopcmcia agpgart acpi=on The reason that I did this was because when I had Fedora Core installed on that computer, I noticed references to those things during the boot - I ALWAYS boot into runlevel 3 rather that runlevel 5 I didn't install any extra kernel modules because when I got to the point in the Handbook that showed the command to list the available modules, on issuing the command, I didn't know what any of them were, so left well enough alone. Probably not relevant to this issue, but in my make.conf file, I probably went overboard with the USE flags. I included everything that I recognized or that sounded interesting that wasn't in the make.defaults file. In my grub.conf file, I *didn't* use the vga line that the Handbook said could be used because from what I read in the Handbook, I didn't think I needed to. Graphics integrated into the system board into the system board: - an Intel i810 chip. Specifics: Integrated Intel Direct AGP Graphics Accelerator with Dynamic Video Memory (DVM) technology architecture. Other details are as follows (I provide this in case it is thought that I should have installed an extra kernel module): Graphics architecture: Intel Dynamic Video Memory (DVM) technology Graphics accelerator: Intel Direct Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) 2D and 3D graphics accelerator Display cache: 4 MB, 100-MHz synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) Graphics memory: Dynamically assigned from system memory Video resolutions 800 x 600 pixels; 85 hertz (Hz) refresh rate with 16.7 million colors 1024 x 786 pixels; 85 Hz refresh rate with 64,000 colors 1280 x 1024 pixels; 85 Hz refresh rate with 256 colors 1600 x 1200 pixels 75 Hz refresh rate with 256 colors The computer is a Dell Optiplex GX100 and the monitor is a Dell E551, which has always been recognized on other Linux installs (as far back as Redhat 9.0), so I don't think that it is special. Any ideas where I went wrong? Is this recoverable without having to reinstall everything? I don't mind reinstalling. I'm doing this on an old PC (600 MHz Celeron processor). The idea is to get Gentoo to the point where I have my Fedora Core system and if I can do that, I'm going to ditch FC4 in favour of Gentoo. Oh another piece of info. This has to be something that I missed doing. The computer I'm using once had Fedora Core 3 on it, I have tried Ubuntu on it and I can run a Knoppix 3.9 live CD on it, so I know that I should be able to install Gentoo on it. If the concensus is that I should again start from scratch, any ideas on what I should have done would be appreciated so that I don't repeat my mistakes. Thanks for the patience in

Re: [gentoo-user] Botched Gentoo Install
Colleen, Glad to see another Fedora user see the light! Here's the scoop... you haven't botched anything you just need to configure your X server. In theory it is very easy to configure your X server all you need to do is run Xorg --configure as root then copy the xorg config file from /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and startx again. In practice it usually takes a bit more tweaking. On my machine X wouldn't recognize my mouse at all till I told it where it was (/dev/input/mice) and even after that it took some tweaking to make all 5 buttons do what I wanted them to do. I also loaded the nvidia driver because otherwise the graphics suck. After that you're home free. Here's some links to some step by steps if you like. (Note that you don't need the manufactures graphics drivers if your on a server but on a desktop I wouldn't run without them.)

All I forgot to do was configure X. -MikeOn 8/3/05, Bob Sanders [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wed, 03 Aug 2005 21:02:32 -0400C.Beamer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Welcome to the fun.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge monodevelop - dependency with mozilla
You could hack the ebuild which is a good idea or you can just emerge mozilla and ignore it. I emerged with moznomail moznoirc and moznocompose to leave off some of the excess and I just leave it be. -MikeOn 8/3/05, Zac Medico [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Catalin Trifu wrote: Hi,I want to emerge monodevelop but it wants to emerge mozilla too; I don't use mozilla at all; I use firefox.Has anyone managed to get monodevelop without mozilla ?

Re: [gentoo-user] glib-config and gtk-config point to version 1.2?

For some reason, whenever I run 'gtk-config --version' (or the glib the equivalent), it returns version 1.2.something. Likewise, if I use the --libs and/or --cflags options, I get information pointing to the 1.2 libraries and headers. How do I get the config programs to return the 2.6 headers and libraries? Sorry, stupid question. gtk-config is specifically for the 1.2 version. pkg-config is for the new version: pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0 Somebody should have RTFM'ed me: http://gtk.org/tutorial/sec-compiling.html Thanks!

Re: [gentoo-user] Botched Gentoo Install
Indeed... that was what I needed every time. Try Bob's trick. I don't run craptel hardware (been burned too many times) so perhaps I2C IS required for their junk. Try to reconfigure the kernel per Bob's directions and see if that fixes things. -MikeOn 8/4/05, C.Beamer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Michael et al,Michael Crute wrote: Colleen, Glad to see another Fedora user see the light!

RE: [gentoo-user] Correct CHOST setting for Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.70GHz stepping 02
Hi - I'm installing Gentoo on a Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.70GHz stepping 02. Can anyone advise me as to the correct CHOST setting. I'm a bit confused on this .. Pentium II and newer processors (and other i686-compatibles) simply use i686-pc-linux-gnu. Why this is, I don't know exactly; it deals with the processor's architecture and how it compiles code. Also, set your CFLAGS to -O2 -march=pentium4 -mfpmath=sse,387 -pipe - fomit-frame-pointer for a good mix of speed and stability. Thanks Colin, I've (unfortunately) already compiled my system. Can I re-compile everything with: # emerge --update --ask --deep --verbose --newuse --tree world The reason I'm looking into this is Kino keeps crashing, as do other data intensive, high CPU applications. -- Thanks, Richard -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

This is definitely a case of flaky hardware or insufficient cooling. Don't bother recompiling your system, work on finding the culprit. I recommend a thorough dusting, inside and out, followed by a couple passes of memtest86. But if you do want to recompile, re-bootstrap and emerge your system first: cd /usr/portage scripts/bootstrap.sh emerge -Davenut system # no offense to any Daves, this is just easy to remember. It's your stuff plus --emptytree. emerge -Davenut world Rebuild your kernel. -- Colin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
