View 3 Replies View RelatedSecurity :: Bypassing Normal Login UI
Nov 16, 2010I was under the impression the Linux (in my case the Fedora OS) is very secure. However I've learnt with deep concern that that one can have access to the system during system startup i.e one can give various startup directives and bypass the normal login UI to have direct root access.
Is there a way to disble this so that the directives during startup are fixed and cannot be altered. I would like to make the system secure to the maximum extent possible.

Apr 10, 2011I can't get respond through normal channels, all I can use is my phone. My keyboard is disabled. My PC is pretty much a paper weight. Both of them. The only way they could be getting in is through the wifi. I don't know if there is anything I can do. My recovery programsare not accessible. Even onstartup. Is it possible to clear the hard drive another way? I've heard fire purifies, I couldn't get another disc to boot up to reinstall ubuntu. Please text me any ideas, but please be specific with command lines, I have trouble with all the () and / [ and where they go.

Feb 2, 2010Strange thing happend two days ago. I just wanted to reboot my computer and now I'm no longer able to boot o0. My system is runnig with a full encryption with luks/cryptsetup. I'm using a passphrase to unlock my first partition and it will unlock the others by itself. So far so good. But now it doesnt work anymore... I'm not sure what I did before, but what I know, I didn't change anything! about cryptsetup. I did only a little "update" with the recommended packages from the repositories (guess only 4-5 updated)
I already checked with live cd and same thing there. Not able to unlock any device (what seems strange to me, cause there are 4 of them and all corrupted at the same time...?)
I always get the error message: unlock failed, bad password or options? (on boot) Command failed: No key available with this passphrase (live cd)
First thing I did was checking wheter all modules are loaded:
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsmod
Module Size Used by

Apr 8, 2009During a recent install I made the leap to encryption,but /boot must remain unencrypted.Is there really any legitimate security risk to having an unencrypted /boot partition? I mean basically someone can just see what kernel you're running which they could see during boot anyways right? Oh I and keep all my financial documents in /boot/finances/ (haha ok not really, but I am serious about the first part).
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Mount.ntfs Ran On Its Own - Normal Or External Hack/break-in Attempt?
Aug 2, 2010Running Ubuntu 10.04 I noticed my hard disc rumbling for longer than normal and louder. Not doing anything demanding to cause hard disk activity like this so I was suspicious so I checked my process list with 'top' command in the console terminal. At the top was mount.ntfs running. Eventually it stopped running after 20 seconds or so. At the time I have not been accessing NTFS filesystems, but I do have them. I have a dual boot Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7. In Ubuntu I've mounted the Windows main C drive and on the same hard disk a partitioned drive for sharing files between the OSs. I know mount.ntfs is a standard program but was it being run on my machine, instigated externally here? Was the running of mount.ntfs an attempt from outside to hack into Ubuntu and the mounted Windows areas of my machine via a backdoor connection or vulnerability? I've restarted my machine since then. Are there any logs I can check for malicious attempts to break in?

View 5 Replies View RelatedFedora Security :: Still No Security Patched Firefox 3.5.1 In Yum / Get That?
Jul 18, 2009Firefox 3.5 has a critical java script vulnerability as noted in the recent news. I had to manually update to 3.5.1 using the mozilla tarball because there's still no Firefox 3.5.1 in Fedora Updates or even Fedora Updates Testing repositories. Is this normal? I didn't want to resort to using the mozilla one because now I can't use flash (my system is 64 bit and mozilla only seems to offer a 32bit tar file of Firefox) and having two Firefoxs means dealing with the ProfileManager, separate bookmarks and so on.
I'm trying to find out if I'm just looking in the wrong place, I tried the normal mirrors for "updates" for Fedora 11 and then updates-testing and also the baseurl for "updates" to get rid of the mirror update delay. None of them seem to have 3.5.1 ?
Fedora Security :: Backwards Security - Networking ?
Aug 3, 2009Problem that may require several tools available on Fedora. I don't know if its possible or not.
Given: Surveillance video box based on Fedora & Zoneminder. Internet connection is via a private 10.x.x.x network connection to the local phone company/ISP. That's the only connection available and they are the only ISP in the area. The ISP uses NAT to ultimately provide a routeable IP address, but that only works on outbound initiated traffic.
Problem: How can someone out on the Internet hit this box? i.e Is there any way to rig a method that will ultimately allow a connection initiated from the Internet to see the surveillance video that this box has stored via an http session?
I thought of one idea but don't have the tools to implement it. User sends an email to a server out on the Net somewhere. Surveillance box retrieves mail ever minute. The mail contains the users IP address. Surveillance box sends an outbound packet to that IP address to get NAT functional. The users box then uses that address to hit the box on the private network. The snag with this is that NAT is specific to ports, and I have no sway over the ISP's NAT capability.
Is there any way to push an http session outbound to the waiting end user? i.e. initiate a push of http traffic from the private box to the end user?
