RE: It was bound to happen - suspected hack

The all:all:deny should be on a separate line... -----Original Message----- From: aaron hirsch Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 9:00 AM To: kclug(a)kclug.org Subject: RE: It was bound to happen - suspected hack I'd modify the hosts.allow file a bit more... i.e. sshd: localhost 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 12.30.163.* ALL:ALL:DENY This is a "catch-all" that is a best practice just incase the hosts.deny is misconfigured or not configured at all, although the ALL:ALL in your hosts.deny is correct. It will deny access to all services that tcpd monitors to everything as a last resort. Hence, if it's not explicitly defined to be allowed, it is by default denied. Just an idea... -----Original Message----- From: Jon Moss [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 7:03 AM To: kclug(a)kclug.org Subject: Re: It was bound to happen - suspected hack I've been researching sshd and allowing/denying access and I think I have figured it out. Just please confirm that I'm on the right track. I edited my hosts.allow as follows: # # hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are # allowed to use the local INET services, as decided # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # sshd: localhost 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 12.30.163.* And then my hosts.deny as follows: # # hosts.deny This file describes the names of the hosts which are # *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # # The portmap line is redundant, but it is left to remind you that # the new secure portmap uses hosts.deny and hosts.allow. In particular # you should know that NFS uses portmap! ALL : ALL However, I don't really have anyway to test this as I allowed access from everywhere that I am. :) Any suggestions and advice is still greatly appreciated. -- Thanks very much, Jon Moss jon.moss(a)cnonline.net _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list Kclug(a)kclug.org http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list Kclug(a)kclug.org http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug

Re: Shared teleconferencing in Linux
by Brian Kelsay 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

Well, I tried at the meeting to get this going. Gconf is apparently misconfigured on my laptop. I had no idea it was even on there, nor how to fix it. I was mucking about in the schema files for Gconf and was reminded of the structures within the Windows registry. *shudders* After a quick shot of tequila I can supress the horror. I'll try to apt-get remove gnomemeeting and possibly gconf and start over. If that doesn't work I was wanting to try something else on there anyway. That's what I get for installing Knoppix to HDD and then upgrading. Oh, the horror. Next candidate is either Libranet (same as server), Mepis (new release of SimplyMepis), UserLinux and the new 4.5MB ISO installer, or just plain Debian and the new Sarge installer. I'll probably go straight Debian and if I fubar that, then go w/ one of the others. Brian Kelsay

To test, edit the file to remove your range from the allow area. Obviousman out.

alternate shell access
by Brian Kelsay 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

http://gray-world.net Gerald Combs and I were discussing alternate methods of using ssh over odd ports. Some of the things at the above link apply. Tunneling ssh over http/https were the main points of discussion. Some other interesting stuff I ran across while looking at this: Google for "web shell" web shell plug in for an OSS CMS http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/reviewed/mw_shell/?tx_extrepmgm_pi1%… Perl shell http://legacy.gammacenter.com/gamma.py/products/WebShell Some Java shell https://trinity.aas.duke.edu/mt.html Brian Kelsay

Security for Network
by djgoku 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

Today at work we are having problems with "Viruses/spyware/stuff" and I am wondering what I could setup in linux to say passive/active scanning a network for viruses/spyware/stuff. And stuff that looks for viruses/spyware/stuff trying to connect to ports it shouldn't be. A packet sniffer would probably be one thing, my I don't know enough about tcp/ip/udp/stuff to work it and understand what it is showing me. I guess I might have to start reading up on packet sniffing. So tools I think might be good ethereal, snort, nmap. Thanks, JtotheO -- dj_goku -www.djgoku.com- -www.tektronic.org-

Doh! I always get these two authors confused. ;') Washington Irving <> Dante Alighieri Washington Irving in 1828 published a fictional tale of Columbus' voyage.

I never said it was "The Divine Comedy" by Dante. I also don't remember where I saw the story noting the exact fiction supposedly responsible for the myth. Also, note that the "people in Columbus' time thought the Earth was flat" myth is a recent invention. Probably dates to the 19th century and the Flat Earth Society. I don't know for certain, when it came about. Might make an interesting Linux webcrawling macro. [This is not to say that in all the ages there were not proponents of a Flat Earth model, hell someone even proposed the Earth was a trapezoid. They just weren't the predominant belief, after Pliny proved the Earth was spherical that is.] > -----Original Message----- > From: Dustin Decker > Subject: Flat Earther Society and Dante > > > > If one reads "The Divine Comedy" (The work by Dante Alighieri > cited in this > post) you will find this is not true.
