Hello...
I see you issues about telenet...
I use the inetd+telnet for more than 20 years and using BSD
with RSA, and obviiously with a good password.
I have never been cracked down...
and I have 10 of my /etc/ttys entries setted to "secure"
ttyp0 none network off secure
ttyp1 none network off secure
ttyp2 none network off secure
ttyp3 none network off secure
ttyp4 none network off secure
ttyp5 none network off secure
ttyp6 none network off secure
ttyp7 none network off secure
ttyp8 none network off secure
ttyp9 none network off secure
ttypa none network off secure
ttypb none network off secure
ttypc none network off secure
in my /etc/master.passwd.....
root:*:0:0::0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/csh
a "kill -1 1" would allow root do dial in
I block the root account in /etc/master.passwd by put a "*" as md5hash
and setted up an "supper" account.....
You could have just changed it's name, and the end result is exactly the
same. If you have other services running in this server, there are
various ways to figure out who has uid 0. Changing root's account or
adding another uid 0 won't make it any harder.
pw adduser xxxxxxxxx -d /root -s /usr/local/bin/bash -u 0 -g 0 -h 0
Than is done...
All the cracking I have seen is from someone that is INSIDE the machine
(http using php,pop,imap, ssh,...) that is you have yet allowed him to
come in,
you gave them the password (in the case of ssh), or in http...
A "normal" FreeBSD 6.2 or an OpenBSD, is incredible solid...
Indeed, that's exactly why it comes with sshd instead of telnetd and
they both DO NOT allow root logins by default.
You must know the "superuser" login AND the password....
With sshd and root logins off, you need to know your username's
password/passphrase for DSA/RSA, you need to be in the right group so
you can even attempt to become root, and you need the root password too.
Ontop of all that, everything's encrypted.
Please do not even TRY to compare.
choose a password with letters and numbers, or something in
portuguese (only 7 countries speak that): biruta22, pezinho12,
45pinheiiros,
tovazioagora, batatinha744, 45canastra96.....
Spoken in: Angola, Brazil, Mozambique, Portugal, and several other
CPLP countries
Total speakers: Native: 210 million
Total: 230 million
Brilliant.
I tested in an security system and it says is have good security...
(pgp)...
I won't comment this.
Besides.. using brute force in a word like "itacolomi" using a 1 second
delay
would result ,,,, "forever"
Besides, BSD have the ability to force a new password once it is too
old...
a new password every 3 months is a good choice.... and you must stilll
pass through RSA .
Thanks for sharing the experience... now I know I am not the one that
uses "telenet"
