Would it be possible to run that program trough e.g. perl/php/... ?

A use could ftp the executable and write a php script that execute it.

Thanks in advance,

 Yes, unless in your php.ini you have something along the lines of:

Can somebody point me to some documentation about securing PHP?

loggin with iptables, syslog problem

2003-08-30 Thread Rudy Gevaert
Hello,

I have the following entry:
LOGall  --  anywhere anywhere   limit: avg 3/hour burst 5 
LOG level debug prefix `IPT INPUT packet died: '

and the following thing in syslog.conf

ahmed:/var/log# grep kern /etc/syslog.conf 
kern.*  -/var/log/kern.log
kern.debug  /var/log/iptables

But nothing gets logged to /var/log/iptabels...  It does show in
dmesg...
How can I correctly redirect logs with level debug to the
/var/log/iptables file?


Thanks in advance,

strangelog

2001-08-12 Thread Rudy Gevaert
Hello,

This weekend I got a strange log:

Unusual System Events
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Aug 11 06:25:03 alhandra su[3584]: + ??? root-nobody
Aug 11 06:25:03 alhandra PAM_unix[3584]: (su) session opened for user
nobody by
+(uid=0)

I'm sure I was asleep at that time... What is this?  Did someone log in?
Or was it a service who su'ed? (I doubt it).

Anybody have some tips for me?

Thanks,

 This is root (uid=0) becoming nobody.  It's surely a cron job that is setup
 to change user to nobody before running.  The locate package runs updatedb
 as nobody every day, for example.

Ah, k!  Thanks for the quick reply!

 Check out www.snort.org. Snort capable to detect
 portscans. Note, that not only portscans, but other
 strange activities (i.e. tracing, os fingerprinting,
 etc) and attacks. You can download sources from

 into latest release).

Could I use this with ippl?  Or just on portscanning system?

Greets,

detecting portscanning

2001-05-24 Thread Rudy Gevaert

Hello Everyone,

It is my first time i'm putting up a server (at home, cable modem) with
ftp/ssh/apache on it.

Now I would like to know who does portscans on my machine, and when.  And
how many.

Is there a package for it in debian?  Or do I have to install something
else.

Thanks in advance,

Rudy

Will this give any problems? Or can I just download it?  I think I will

 Hello,

 there's several methods to tell that.

 a) use a product like portsentry
 b) use iptables/ipchains to reject all forms of portscans

 portsentry will trashcan any system that attempts to portscan you.  If your
 using 2.2.x you may want to put on the stealth kernel patch (freshmeat.net
 search for stealth) that helps hinder scans

 iptables has an awsome mechanism for portscans ;)  in fact you can set it up
 so that all portscans (well most I should say) will literaly take HOURS to
 return nothing.

Ok thanks,

I'll use iptable when I got my network running.  Now it is just a
standalone box.  I'm running ippl and it logs the most things.  It will
work for now I think ;)

Thanks to everyone for all the help!
