Well perhaps I'm just being paranoid today. But how do I know that a successful, but somehow corrupted, copy has not occurred? What makes you confident that these are rare? I don't ask this to be antagonistic, just to increase my own confidence in the `cp` command. Ah well, I have no statistics here. But I can say that such a thing has never occured to me in the past (or at least if it occured, I did not notice that). Not a definitive proof, I know; rather, just my experience. You are of course free to not trust me and, if you're truly paranoid, you probably should do so :-) I have to admit that I haven't run this command and I don't have any idea what its actual resource usage would be. I guess I'd be happy with a lower-grade of checksumming, if it would reduce the runtime to acceptable levels. With md5sum one can be - barring certain malicious external attacks - quite certain that a copied file is identical to the original. I would be happy with a the file's there and it looks ok level of confidence. Well, md5deep has already been suggested. If you are content with a lower-grade checksumming, you could write your own script that compares file lenghts and calculate checksums only on the first n and last m bytes of each file, for some reasonable values of n and m (bigger is better, as you guess). This is what backuppc (an excellent backup software) does when it has to decide whether a file has changed (and thus has to be backed up) compared with the copy stored in the backup pool. Read this for more info: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#some_design_issues The hashing function paragraph. Do note that (of course) that method is not 100% accurate and might report false negatives if the corruption is in the middle of the file and file length did not change. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] SSH brute force attacks and blacklist.py
I can't believe that I'm the only person with this, so it's probably worth asking.

I used to use DenyHosts - but that became annoying as it used rather a lot of resources (and relied upon tcp wrappers... which, I'm informed are somewhat old-fashioned) I migrated to try using iptables as my firewall and using blacklist.py - which I got working after some minor config-tweaking. I'm aware that there is configuration in the blacklist.py script for BLOCKING_PERIOD - but what I really miss the blocked forever nature of the DenyHosts alternative though I prefer every other aspect of the iptables/blacklist.py approach. Has anyone else resolved this? As far as I'm concerned, once I detect someone has attempted a brute force (which blaclist.py does fantastically well) what I want is for no further communication to be accepted from the IP address - even after I reboot etc. While I don't know which sites I want to be accessible from in advance, I can be sure none of them would launch a brute force attack against me. :-) Recommendations?

The best advice I can give is to use public key authentication only. This will defend against all dictionary-based attacks, which is what you describe. The only remaining problem is that your log files will be filled with unsuccessful login attempts. A simple solution is to run sshd on a non-standard, high-numbered port, e.g. in the 30'000.

Alternatively, you can use the builtin iptables connection rate limiter.
Excerpt from my home-grown firewall script:
for port in $INPUT_LIMITER_TCPPORTS; do
$IPT_IN -p tcp --dport $port -m state --state NEW -m \
recent --name limit-${port} --set
$IPT_IN -p tcp --dport $port -m state --state NEW -m \
recent --name limit-${port} --rcheck --seconds
$INPUT_LIMITER_TIME --hitcount $INPUT_LIMITER_COUNT -j \
LOG --log-prefix limit-rjct-${port}
$IPT_IN -p tcp --dport $port -m state --state NEW -m \
recent --name limit-${port} --rcheck --seconds
$INPUT_LIMITER_TIME --hitcount $INPUT_LIMITER_COUNT -j REJECT \
$IPT_IN -p tcp --dport $port -m state --state NEW -j
LOG --log-level notice --log-prefix limit-acpt-${port} \
$IPT_IN -p tcp --dport $port -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
done
It limits the number of new connections on each port in
INPUT_LIMITER_TCPPORTS from any individual host to INPUT_LIMITER_COUNT
within INPUT_LIMITER_TIME.
More precisely, it does the following:
1. When a new connection is established by a previously unkown host, set a
mark (first rule).
2. When the number of marks from that host has exceeded the specified upper
connection limit, reject the connection (third rule), you could also drop.
3. Otherwise, accept the connection (fifth rule)
Rules numbers 2 and 4 are for logging purposes only, and have no impact on
functionality. By using --log-prefix, you can use your logging daemon's
filtering capabilities to sort these requests into new
The count is reset after INPUT_LIMITER_TIME seconds have passed. Thus, after
exceeding INPUT_LIMITER_COUNT, you have to wait for $INPUT_LIMITER_SECONDS
before a new attempt.
Oh yeah, $IPT_IN is shorthand for ${IPTABLES} -t filter -A INPUT, where
${IPTABLES} points to the iptables executable, of course.
The advantage of this solution is that it does not rely on log files parsing
or any other magic, it simply counts the number of connections from each
host on a specific port. It it does very easy on CPU and very stable, it
continues working as long as your kernel works.
The disadvantage is that it does not rely on log files parsing or any other
magic, it simply counts the number of connections from each host on a
specific port. It cannot do anything clever. Also, your iptables -L output
gets a bit cluttered by adding five rules for every port you want to
rate-limit.
