So, I ran the Nessus scan on an Eigerstein 2.2.16
running echowall. The report, as with Steven's experience,
isn't very interesting: nothing found since I left nothing
active (I commented out the WANTED_SERVICES line before
restarting the firewall and testing). Report attached at
the end of the email.
What *is* interesting though is the packet logging.
Oh my. Filled my ramdisk, preventing echowall from re-
running, as "echo test > file" won't work if the disk is
full. So...be cautious turning Nessus loose on your own
LRP box. :)
Makes me wonder though. At the start of the scan,
/var/log/syslog, messages and kern.log were 15k, 13k, and
13k respectively. After the scan...all *three* of them were
over 980k before I ran out of disk space.
Sure, a brute-force DOS attack but...what am I doing
wrong where each packet log gets recorded in 3 places?
Also...I noticed my cable-modem connect thru the LRP
was sluggish after the disk was filled. I checked with
www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest and it confirmed: 671 kpbs
with a full disk, and 1293 kbps immediately after a reboot.
Perhaps the next time someone on the LRP lists mentions
that their LRP box is "acting slow" we should ask if they
recently unleased Nessus on it.
cheers,
Scott
