From the above, it appears it's the howto author that is the intended recipient. Mea culpa! The unfortunate thing about definitive references, though, is that when push comes to shove, UPDATING will take precedence. In the case of PFIL_HOOKS, it has vanished as an option under 6.0-CURRENT (though it was present for a while, IIRC)...

RE: Tar pitting automated attacks
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mike Galvez Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 2004 6:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tar pitting automated attacks Is there a method to make this more expensive to the attacker, such as tar-pitting? No. These days attackers use distributed networks of cracked PCs to launch attacks. The vast bulk of these attacks is automated. The cracker merely feeds in a job and pushes it to his network to work away at. Most of the time the cracker spends is in adding new machines that have vulnerabilities into his distributed network of cracked PCs If you successfully erect a network block, the cracker's software will just go to the next IP in the sequence to attack. Your actually doing more damage to the cracker's distributed network by your SSH server patiently saying no, no, no, no, no, no, etc. for 20-50 thousand times, because that ties the cracked PC up for a lot longer just working away at your system. I presume of course that you aren't using guessible passwords and you have everything patched to current levels. if you want to do damage to the attacker, you need to make a good effort at reporting the source IP numbers to the netblock managers the IP is part of. Granted, 3/4 of the time the netblock managers won't do anything about it. But whenever they do, it usually takes that cracked PC out of the distributed network. That is what costs the cracker because then the cracker has to expend work replacing it with another cracked PC. But, it is a lot like trying to pick up spilled spaghetti with tweezers. There's so many cracked PC's out there that as soon as you get one taken down, there's plenty more where that came from. Now, if you REALLY want to damage the attacker, you throw the works at the IP numbers that are scanning you, and find the back door that the cracker is using on those hosts, then go in and hard-code the homepage on their web broswer to something like http://www.fuckyou.com, making sure to use one of those cracker programs that makes it impossible for them to change it back. That is usually sufficient to get the owner of the cracked PC off their lazy ass to get their machine cleaned up.

Re: Retrieving audio from memory
The file's data will be intact 'till kaboodle close(2)s the file. So check which files kaboodle has opened with fstat -p pid_of_kaboodle.

Re: new card, still can't get X11 working
What does your xorg config look like for the video card? Also, the 9200 radeon is on the border of supported and non supported cards. Almost every card with a higher number is not supported for 3d acceleration. I had a radeon 9000 card that worked perfect on 5.2.1 freebsd, but my new AIW 9600 XT only supports 2d acceleration and only in Xorg.. plus i had to manually get the card's id for that to work. The problem lies in the fact that ati now has binary drivers for linux. Most open source video card driver users run linux and so they don't need to write a driver when ati provides them with one. Of course ati could always write a freebsd driver, but i won't hold my breath.

Re: Testimonial - Thanks to FreeBSD
Hi, Hi, starting on mainframe in the middle 80's, i met a dilemn in the later 90's : if you want a job, you must run on Microsoft. Well, i started a new learn of computing on this OS, un-learning all about i knew on computing, a very difficult task when you're coming from IBM... All my friends repeated to me : you should work on Unix like system, you should .. 2 month's ago, i would like to setup my own server, at home, with web, ftp and mail services. I want him robust, efficient, safe and so one. i dreamed to get an old 3090 for 500$ !, but there's no place at home for him :o) Thus, i have started to install my first FreeBSD (on a very special computer) ... 2 weeks later, without any knowledge about Unix like systems, my httpd, ftpd ran (very ?!) well. This mean that your system is well designed and documented. Monitoring access, it's incredible to see that BSD is faster by 2 to 3 than other tested system. and i discovered that computing is absolutely what i learned on IBM .. Great thanks to the community, and your effort to document FreeBSD, even in French (we are so bad with others languages ..!), i hope to help the FreeBSD users by writing some drivers and other things, Welcome to FreeBSD. It is a good community and a good system. Nothing is perfect, of course, but this community comes as close as it can and keeps on working. Enjoy, jerry K.

No. These days attackers use distributed networks of cracked PCs to launch attacks. The vast bulk of these attacks is automated. The cracker merely feeds in a job and pushes it to his network to work away at. Most of the time the cracker spends is in adding new machines that have vulnerabilities into his distributed network of cracked PCs If you successfully erect a network block, the cracker's software will just go to the next IP in the sequence to attack. Your actually doing more damage to the cracker's distributed network by your SSH server patiently saying no, no, no, no, no, no, etc. for 20-50 thousand times, because that ties the cracked PC up for a lot longer just working away at your system. This is why I was curious about tar-pitting. The attacker is banging away at common user accounts every 3 to 5 seconds sometimes more than a thousand times. A tar pit or something like it could slow the attack to maybe four attempts in an hour as opposed to a thousand. I am still looking for my passive-aggressive solution. I presume of course that you aren't using guessible passwords and you have everything patched to current levels. if you want to do damage to the attacker, you need to make a good effort at reporting the source IP numbers to the netblock managers the IP is part of. Granted, 3/4 of the time the netblock managers won't do anything about it. Reporting these to ISPs is like shouting at the ocean. They are most likely overwhelmed, indifferent or both. But whenever they do, it usually takes that cracked PC out of the distributed network. That is what costs the cracker because then the cracker has to expend work replacing it with another cracked PC. But, it is a lot like trying to pick up spilled spaghetti with tweezers. There's so many cracked PC's out there that as soon as you get one taken down, there's plenty more where that came from. Now, if you REALLY want to damage the attacker, you throw the works at the IP numbers that are scanning you, and find the back door that the cracker is using on those hosts, then go in and hard-code the homepage on their web broswer to something like http://www.fuckyou.com, making sure to use one of those cracker programs that makes it impossible for them to change it back.

default directory for certs
Hey all, I recently upgraded my mail server using sendmail to use full StartTLS/SSL, using a real (geotrust) certificate. However, pine complains loudly at me that it cannot verify the certificate. A quick google search on the error yielded this page: https://email.mtu.edu/docs/public/pine_ssl/ Now, the directions are straightforward enough, but I can't find the certs directory. A quick locate yields a bunch in /usr/src/crypto/openssl/certs, but nothing in a production directory. Are the standard root certs not installed by default? Should they be? *IF SO* What directory should I be using? The FAQ file in /usr/src/crypto/openssl has this to say: * Why does SSL program fail with a certificate verify error? This problem is usually indicated by log messages saying something like unable to get local issuer certificate or self signed certificate. When a certificate is verified its root CA must be trusted by OpenSSL this typically means that the CA certificate must be placed in a directory or file and the relevant program configured to read it. The OpenSSL program 'verify' behaves in a similar way and issues similar error messages: check the verify(1) program manual page for more information. However, the verify man page isn't in the default manpath, either. -- this is too stupid even for irc -mtreal, EFnet #macintosh, 09/15/2K, 12:33 AM Dan Mahoney Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Site: http://www.gushi.org --- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Tar pitting automated attacks
If you have no need for remote users to ssh into your system them remove the ssh enable statement from rc.conf. If you do need ssh then change its default port to some thing else and have all authorized remote ssh users add the new port number to the remote ssh login command. This will stop all your bad ssh login attempts. Then you can have your ipfilter firewall log all the ssh attempts to the ssh default port number and then run the log through this abuse reporting application. http://freebsd.a1poweruser.com:6088/99.20-abuse_rpts_download.htm This application has been made into a FreeBSD port but it has not been officially accepted yet.

Multiple IP addresses in a Jail
Perhaps there is another way to do this, but I am trying to layout as fault tolerant a network architecture as possible. Most rack mounted boxes come with at least 2 Ethernet ports for what one would assume is to have each go to a separate switch (or to act as a firewall). If either switch goes Tango Uniform, the network is still up. But if my processes are running in Jails and I create an IP alias for each network interface for the jail, I need to specify 2 IP addresses for the Jail, not one.

VESA_800x600 (age old question)
Hi, This question has been rehashed many times, so I apologise. I've got VESA and SC_PIXEL_MODE in my kernel and I want to be able to do: vidcontrol VESA_800x600. However, when I do this I receive the following message: vidcontrol: cannot set videomode: Operation not supported by device The general answer to this seems to be make sure SC_PIXEL_MODE is in your kernel. It is. This is an Intel 855GM/GME Montara (I use i810 for x.org). I don't know if it means anything but in the Xorg.log file I am told that a VESA BIOS is detected: (II) I810(0): VESA BIOS detected Can somebody please tell me what this means? Somebody seemed to think that the error means that the card doesn't have a VESA BIOS but this doesn't seem to be the case. Is VESA_800x600 just not supported on the 855GM?

headless install frozen.
hello: using a 4.10 release on my main machine, i was trying to make a FBSD headless install on a toshiba T4600c, because it has a minimalistic HD (200mb) and there is not any CDROM drive, just floppy drive, 20Mb ram, no LAN, no modem. if i try regular kern.flp and mfsroot.flp (no serial booting -h), toshiba loads fine sysinstall but without CDROM i can`t do any more, unless serial communication. and i can`t use keybord to send enter key pressed to my laptop. this is what im doing: 1.-made Boot Floppies using, to Boot into a Serial Console (both floppies made with dd command) using this on kern.flp: # echo /boot/loader -h boot.config 2.-Connect Null Modem Cable between first serial ports on both machines. You now need to connect a null modem cable Just connect the cable to the serial ports of the 2 machines. A normal serial cable will not work here, you need a null modem cable because it has some of the wires inside crossed over. 3.-Booting Up for the Install, kern.flp floppy in the floppy drive of the machine im doing the headless install on, and power on the machine. 4.-Connecting to my Headless Machine, using this command on my FBSD machine: # cu -l /dev/cuaa0 That's it! i can see booting kern.flp on monitorYou through my cu session. It ask me to put in the mfsroot.flp, and then... ...HERE IS THE PROBLEM... It supose to be like this: it will come up with a selection of what kind of terminal to use. Select the FreeBSD color console and proceed with your install! ...BUT... -even not can press enter key for start reading second flppy (mfsroot.flp). -keyboard not works as expects, (not take care of regular typing or arrow keys, space bar, etc.) -cu session continues as usual no takes care about booting process. - and of course there isn`t any selection of any kind of terminal to use. i know almost nothing about cu program, but FreeBSD Handbook (2.12 Advanced Installation Guide) explain very well howto.

Perhaps reverse DNS was temporarily unavailble. Correct - the IP is indeed 209.240.79.79 and does have a reverse DNS.

Google finds numerous discussions on this problem in various lists/newsgroups but a solution is rarely offered. Finally, I found someone's theory in a NetBSD (or was it OpenBSD) forum. I can't tell whether it is true or not, but it makes sense to me. If your BIND is configured to use a forwarder and this forwarder is really good then BIND (almost) never needs to contact the root servers. The root zone times out in memory and it is not reloaded from disk. It is only loaded when BIND is started. Thus, if your BIND finally needs to contact a root name server after a long time of getting all responses from forwarder, it turns out that the data for root zone is not available... Now, as I said, I cannot tell whether this theory is true or not. What I can say is that on all 4 machines where I run BIND I configured one of two workarounds: - use forward only so you *never* need to check the root zone - do not use forwarders at all so you check the root zone fairly frequently. I did this almost a year ago, and after that I never have had this problem again. HTH. Hmm, then the easiest cure against OP's would be periodically (say, per week) requesting purposely wrong request (e.g., nslookup example.heh) ?

PPPOE using PPP IPCP problem
Hi I am trying to connect to a DSL provider in Australia called OPTUS. I have configured many other DSL providers with no hassle previously but this particular ISP I keep running into the following problems which I hope *someone* can shed some light on. I have tried the box that I will be using and the same ppp configuration on my ADSL provider at home with no problems at all, just for piece of mind that the box itself and everything is working. Here is the ppp.conf and then the resulting log file. I seem to be getting Authenticated and then being sent an IPCP request to configure my local and remote IP's etc.. but it seems it is being ignored because ppp is still in the Authenticate state.

Trouble with NICs
Hi, I'm trying to switch to FreeBSD, from years of Linux. I have a 5k with an Adaptec RAID card that has run Linux fine, in the past. I'm still having some trouble getting it to run FreeBSD. After having difficulty with a couple of 5.x kernels, and getting advice here to back off to 4.10, I've got most things working. I'm booting a custom kernel, but the problem is the same with GENERIC. ... ant the problem is that neither of the two E'net interfaces (one on the motherboard, one a separate card) comes up. I can get either, sometimes both, to come up if I fiddle around with ifconfig for a while, but I'm sorry to say that I don't have a reproducable sequence that always works: perhaps something to do with the media argument. I've tried fiddling with rc.config, trying to bring up one interface and not the other, include the media argument, and a couple things like that. Basically, I'm floundering. At some point, looking through the various documentation I noticed that several of my IRQs overlap. Looking at the kernel config file, though, I see that some devices specify an IRQ and some don't. Booting /kernel -c tells me that there are no network devices of any kind, enabled or disabled, so I can't experiment with re-assigning IRQs, to find out if this whole thing is a red herring. rc.config and dmesg enclosed, fwiw. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
