Re: FTP and security

2001-11-09 Thread vdongen

In this case I use (and suggest to use) pscp which is a win32 
implementation of scp (secure copy). It uses a ssh connection to upload 
or download. Unfortunatly it uses no gui and has to run from cmd or 
command.

pscp can be found on the putty page...

Greetz,

Ivo

Windows 2000 is more secure than Linux... Since the machine is offline 
half of the time because of crashes, it cannot be accessed globally, 
therefore producing higher security.

 Until now my Data Organization was like this:

 My user home directory is in /home/eim on sda1 but most
 of my Real Important Files are in /mnt/d which is sdb1.
 
 So I've lost sdb1 and all my important data, but fortunately 
 my home dir is still there !
 
 My question is, has somebody any suggestions on how to
 organize personal data, maybe some Real Life examples in
 order to share opinions on a Secure and Safe Data Organization.
 I'm of course talking about a Work Station and not a Server for
 many different users.
 
 If anyone has some examples or suggestions I'm ready to
 share any ideas...
 
 Thanks for any help,

I use a nifty program called mirrordir at home, i have thousands of 
MP3's DIVX movies, programs documents 40Gig worth. I run mirror dir at 
midnight every night and it keeps a mirror of the working drive. The 
great thing is it only copies new stuff and is very efficient, also if a 
file gets deleted accidentally it is not lost and can be retrieved if it 
is done before midnight. Disk mirroring is good but i like the delay 
factor using mirrordir.

Something to think about anyway !

why don't you bother to read what i said. script kiddies don't exploit
unknown holes as you have stated, and what i stated above is i don't
leave KNOWN PATCHED holes on my boxes, those are what script kiddies
attack.

of course there are unknown holes, anyone exploiting those will NOT be
the least bit foiled by toys like noexec /tmp.

so here is the situation:

i don't leave open holes that script kiddies use with thier skripts
only a dumbass skript kiddie will be foiled by noexec /tmp
skript kiddies will be foiled by the fact that my boxes are always up

therefore noexec /tmp gives nothing but inconvenience and no added security.

It seems that some people think that even ssh in potato is unsafe. The
low version number attracts crackers or something.  It also irritates

Is there any harm from installing ssh from woody on potato? This does

There is a school of thought that says there is no such thing as `secure',
only making it as hard work -inconvenient- for someone to persist in
attacking you.

That's why, the more layers I can throw in someone's face, be it
firewalling, more than just `defaults' in fstab, running libsafe, the better.

No harm beyond getting it built right (no binary installs from
woody/sid into potato), and realizing that security.debian.org won't
automagically post fixes for that package.

Something like:

apt-get source ssh
cd (opensshdir)
grep Build-Depends: debian/control
(install those packages, possibly edit the Depends: line of
debian/control if they've entered something that simply doesn't exist
in potato)
dpkg-buildpackage
cd .. ; dpkg -i ssh*deb

as soon as everyone uses noexec all script kiddie scripts will run

I suspected that, and suggested to a friend of mine to upgrade to woody.
He runs potato (which I installed ;-), but since the ssh in potato is
supposed to be unsafe (which may sound funny), he has to do the backport
or dist-upgrade. The latter looks easier, and almost everybody run woody

With iXplorer 0.17 you can use a putty saved session and so you get ssh2 
support.
If you want support for ssh2-keys you have to download one of the 
developer-snapshots of putty (putty,plink,pscp,pageant and puttygen) and 
generate your ssh2-keys with the new puttygen.

How many holes do you think exist that are only known to black hats?

 thats probably the only real solution.  Until something like that

There was a long discussion about this on the Curiosa list last month.
It's probably not worth repeating the entire thread here (we're starting

Re: FTP and security

2001-11-09 Thread vdongen
In this case I use (and suggest to use) pscp which is a win32 
implementation of scp (secure copy). It uses a ssh connection to upload 
or download. Unfortunatly it uses no gui and has to run from cmd or 
command.

pscp can be found on the putty page...

Greetz,

Ivo

Windows 2000 is more secure than Linux... Since the machine is offline 
half of the time because of crashes, it cannot be accessed globally, 
therefore producing higher security.

 If you think your box does not have currently unknown holes you are
 naive :)

why don't you bother to read what i said. script kiddies don't exploit
unknown holes as you have stated, and what i stated above is i don't
leave KNOWN PATCHED holes on my boxes, those are what script kiddies
attack.

of course there are unknown holes, anyone exploiting those will NOT be
the least bit foiled by toys like noexec /tmp.

so here is the situation:

i don't leave open holes that script kiddies use with thier skripts
only a dumbass skript kiddie will be foiled by noexec /tmp
skript kiddies will be foiled by the fact that my boxes are always up

therefore noexec /tmp gives nothing but inconvenience and no added security.

 OpenSSH on Debian is right, but ssh-nonfree is still vulnerable.

It seems that some people think that even ssh in potato is unsafe. The
low version number attracts crackers or something.  It also irritates

Is there any harm from installing ssh from woody on potato? This does

There is a school of thought that says there is no such thing as `secure',
only making it as hard work -inconvenient- for someone to persist in
attacking you.

That's why, the more layers I can throw in someone's face, be it
firewalling, more than just `defaults' in fstab, running libsafe, the better.

No harm beyond getting it built right (no binary installs from
woody/sid into potato), and realizing that security.debian.org won't
automagically post fixes for that package.

Something like:

apt-get source ssh
cd (opensshdir)
grep Build-Depends: debian/control
(install those packages, possibly edit the Depends: line of
debian/control if they've entered something that simply doesn't exist
in potato)
dpkg-buildpackage
cd .. ; dpkg -i ssh*deb

as soon as everyone uses noexec all script kiddie scripts will run

I suspected that, and suggested to a friend of mine to upgrade to woody.
He runs potato (which I installed ;-), but since the ssh in potato is
supposed to be unsafe (which may sound funny), he has to do the backport
or dist-upgrade. The latter looks easier, and almost everybody run woody

Thanks for helps to all.

With iXplorer 0.17 you can use a putty saved session and so you get ssh2 
support.
If you want support for ssh2-keys you have to download one of the 
developer-snapshots of putty (putty,plink,pscp,pageant and puttygen) and 
generate your ssh2-keys with the new puttygen.
