View 14 Replies View RelatedFedora Security :: Unknown Software Sending Data On Random Ports
Jun 1, 2009I just discovered that my server is sending huge amount of data out at about 1Mbps. My immediate thought was the deluge bittorrent client, however it is supposedly not running (and a check confirmed its total active torrents was set to 0). I turned off the network and went in to Firestarter to set the outbound traffic to restrictive, turned on network again and no more data was sent. A look in Firestarter / Events showed a long list of random ports being used (see further down). How can I identify what program is sending all the data?
In Firestarter it doesn't really say much more than the port. Not sure if it is some misconfigured program or a malware/virus. I just got my ADSL connected a few days ago, and before that I used a mobile broadband (3G) as I just relocated. During the period I used the 3G the server might have been without firewall for a few days and it was also at this time I discovered an increase in network traffic (but I didn't really pay much attention at that time). I am running Fedora 10.
List of events from firestarter, my server is 192.168.1.100:
Time:Jun 1 16:48:12 Direction: Outbound In: Out:eth1 Port:39435 Source:192.168.1.100 Destination:58.208.xxx.56 Length:129 TOS:0x00 Protocol:UDP Service:Unknown

Fedora Security :: Selinux Policy Blocking Outbound Ports For Sshd
May 25, 2011Tried google and searching this forum to no avail. Under Fedora 14, there is an selinux policy which blocks sshd from making outbound connections on port 80 or 443. This can occur when a client box tries to tunnel through the ssh connection for encrypted access to the web.
While I did manage to allow this happen by creating a permissive domain for sshd with this command:
Code:
The preferred way would be to allow sshd to make connection on other ports with a similar command that does not seem to work:
Code:
Is this the correct way of allowing an outbound port connection for the sshd daemon?
Security :: Spam Filter Software For ISP Environment.
Jan 24, 2011We operate a small ISP and are currently using a debian distro as our gateway server.Recently we have had an increased number of spam issues with customers (not them sending it directly, rather the customer getting infected with a virus/malware and then their computer becoming a bot).I'd like to set up another gateway of sorts to sit after our authentication gateway but before our backbone to provide spam filtering (and hopefully virus filtering) for any traffic passing through which might be email.I've tried searching for any linux based software which would suit, but I'm coming up empty.
Surely there's something already out there which can perform this task.Finally, just to clarify, I'm not talking about spam filtering for email accounts we host ourselves (this is built into our mail server); I'm talking about spam originating from customers PC's which is passing through our gateway (but not our mail server).
Ubuntu Security :: What Is Good IP Filter / Firewall Program?
Jun 10, 2010What is a good IP filter/firewall program? Seeing as how I like free softwares, I download a lot of torrents. When I was using Windows, I used PeerBlock (the newer fork of PeerGuardian), however, it's not available for Linux. What would be a good alternative for this in Linux? I tried iplist as it has a GUI, and it was extremely buggy and blocked random web pages even after I put them on the exceptions list. And MoBlock has no GUI from I understand, nor has it been updated in years.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Content Filter At Remote Locations?
Aug 6, 2010We have approximately 100 retail locations that will have split vpn tunneling. Intranet traffic will flow over the vpn to the corporate headquarters, voip traffic will tunnel to a regional hub and internet bound traffic will go over the local isp. The retail locations are small with 1-8 users and no enterprise grade equipment (servers, etc). This setup in effect will render our current content filtering solution useless.
The locations will be equipped with Cisco ASA 5505 Firewalls. The original plan was to use a Websense server and the url filtering feature to act as a content filter. I just found out that pricing for Websense was not included in the budget will be a show stopper.There may also be some performance issues with this method. Putting a proxy server at each location is not really an option. We do not have the resources to place a server at each location, plus the users could simply unplug an inline device or go around it. There is minimal supervision at most of these locations.
Ideally, I would like to find a way to use something like Dansguardian with an ldap interface and the url filtering feature of the ASA firewalls. I found a program called n2h2p, but I can find 0 documentation for it. It is also 2 years old with no updates. I also need to be able totrally manage this as trying to keep up with 100 different configurations for 400 users would be virtually impossible for the amount of time I will have available

Ubuntu Security :: What Ports Are Open And Why
Jul 27, 2010I'm locking down my laptop. I know I can use a firewall to ensure nothing gets through that I didn't catch, and I certainly plan on using one, but in the meantime, I want to know what exactly is running on my system.
nmap localhost returns:
Code:
james@james-linux:~$ nmap localhost
Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-07-26 23:33 CDT
Warning: Hostname localhost resolves to 2 IPs. Using 127.0.0.1.
Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1):
Not shown: 994 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
25/tcp open smtp
111/tcp open rpcbind
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
445/tcp open microsoft-ds
631/tcp open ipp
2049/tcp open nfs
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.18 seconds
However, I know that localhost goes back to the loopback interface, 127.0.0.1. So, to see what was really open, I ran nmap 192.168.0.108, which is my laptop's IP at the moment.
Code:
james@james-linux:~$ nmap 192.168.0.108
Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-07-26 23:33 CDT
Interesting ports on 192.168.0.108:
Not shown: 996 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
111/tcp open rpcbind
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
445/tcp open microsoft-ds
2049/tcp open nfs
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.14 seconds
Now if I understand correctly, I can attribute 139 and 445 to my Samba share. That I'm okay with. What I don't know is 111 and 2049. Does anyone know what these ports are, what's running on them, and how I could turn them off, supposing that they are a security risk?
Ubuntu Security :: Ports 21 / 110 And 143 Are Open?
Mar 18, 2011I'm getting heat from the head networking office that ports 21, 110, and 143 are open. I can telnet to those ports from a remote machine (not localhost) and get a prompt. There does not seem to be anything listening on those ports according to netstat. I've tried using iptables to discard all traffic to a from those ports but I can still telnet to them. This is a lucid desktop machine.

Ubuntu Security :: Keeping All Ports Stealthed?
Sep 26, 2010I know how to forward ports in my router. Now I need to open a port to help with testing a project and no matter what I've tried, every port under 1055 shows up as stealthed (with 1-71 closed) according to Shields Up! I'm happy to run it at a port > 1024, but whatever I try also shows up stealthed. I even tried (briefly) turning on DMZ and still the same thing. My ISP swears that they only block port 80, 21 and 25, none of which I'm trying to use. UFW status reports inactive and I'm not using firestarter. I'm not running any other server (apache, light speed etc). If it's not my router and it's not my ISP, and there's no other server apps running, then that kind of leaves Ubuntu as far as I can see,

Security :: Doorways On Non-default Ports - New Trend In Black Hat SEO?
Dec 4, 2010Quote:
A year ago I blogged about how hackers managed to hijack hundreds of high-profile websites to make them promote online stores that sold pirated software at about 5-10% of a real cost. They used quite a standard scheme that involved cloaking (making spammy links visible only to search engine crawlers) and conditional redirects (visitors from search engines who clicked on specifically-crafted links on compromised sites got redirected to online stores of software pirates)
Despite of all my warnings, most of those site are still hacked and help sell pirated software and steal credit card numbers. This negligence of site/server administrators encouraged cyber criminals to step even further in abusing reputation and resources of compromised servers. This post will be about one of such steps.
