Does rootkit copy protection pose a problem in Linux? I own only one CD with rootkit (XCP), and was wondering if I should avoid playing it on this Linux system. (I know Sony offered to take back the CDs and exchange them for rootkit-free copies, but I never cared to go to the trouble.) (It's not particularly important, because all I have to do is play this CD in my DVD player.)
View 1 RepliesI'm setting up a fileserver for a client which will host their client invoices. They're looking for a system whereby invoices can be converted from RTF to PDF with copy protection (no right click / copy-paste). In addition to this I'm thinking of using a one-way hash to verify document integrity.
Are there any command-line utilities for Linux which allows adding this kind of copy protection / DRM to pdf documents?
I've been attempting to back up my collection of DVDs to an external hard drive using Brasero. I've successfully ripped many of the DVDs to ISO with Brasero, but am now wondering if it'd be possible to burn these back to other discs if I bought them in the future. In other words, does Brasero leave copy protection in place and just bypass it when ripping to ISO, or does Brasero remove copy protection all together leaving me with an decrypted ISO?

She used Windows Vista to copy her own DVD's using DVD43 [URL] to remove copy protection and 1Click DVD Copy to burn them. She would like to do the same on Ubuntu. Can some one recommend alternative software for Linux that can do the same thing as what she did on Windows?

Got this checking rkhunter logs but running rkhunter shows nothing suspicious, should I be worried?
I am going through the motions of testing the checkrootkit and rootkit hunter applications on one of our servers. I wanted to get feedback from those who know both as to which of the two is better at 'sniffing' out rootkits. Alternatively, can both be installed without their interfering with the other?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSomething really nasty happened to my Arch Linux just now and I don't know why. I was switching through Xfwm4 themes when suddenly Kate crashed and brought down X with it. I started X back up, and Xfwm got hung up, I had to switch to another VT and run "killall X". I tried replacing xfwm4 with pekwm (but still with xfce4-panel) in .xinitrc, same thing. I deleted all my Xfce config files and tried again. The mouse didn't even move. The keyboard didn't work, not even the keyboard light would come on and I couldn't switch to another VT. I was forced to use the Reset button and hope it wouldn't ruin my hard drive.
It booted up fine, I purged all xfce4-related packages just in case while still in CLI mode, and I ran "xinit /usr/bin/pekwm" and I got into a working GUI. I closed a window and X froze again! The window's close button just stayed presses after I let go of it! I killed X from another VT. So I installed and ran "rkhunter" form AUR (I wonder why they don't have it in the arch repos, it's so much better that chkrootkit) and it warned that I might have Adore Rootkit. What should I do? If it helps, I recently installed a few packages from the Arch Linux AUR, including "ooc-git", "ooc-gtksourceview-git", "libpng12", and "virtualbox_bin".

I have an acer aspire one running linpus
Generally I'm very happy with it apart from not being able to run some of the software I use but I do like the linux system.
Now, though, I find that it is progressively holding me back as more and more things I want to do require a change that involves the password protected access and I don't know it.
I tried 000000 and 111111 I don't know if anybody knows another default password. It maybe I did change it but I have no idea what to.
The lock on the card broke off and I tried using tape in that groove, but is too thick for my camcorder. I navigated /media > Context Menu > Properties > Permissions tab > File access, and chose Read and write, but this didn't allow my camcorder to record with the card. Unless there's a way to unlock it with software, I'll try switching the insides with the casing of another. I just want to know what is the best type of SD card or Mini SD adpter to do the trick, i.e. what has the best lock.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSuSE SLES10, 32 bit. I have an app which crashes with general protection often.
There is message every time in /var/log/messages:
2010-10-22T08:49:49.350476+02:00 HostName kernel: ProgramName[28023] general protection rip:404575 rsp:7fffc5656270 error:0
How do I establish relation between this message and source code? Error was observed on another host where some tests were running, now license is expired and I can't get more info nor core dump. I have to investigate what I have and try to reproduce it locally. Unfortunately original binary was stripped.Now I prepared non-stripped version. Does it has the same addresses for function as original? Is it possible to use symbol information for finding where RIP points to?
How to copy a Read-Only file in Linux and make the copy writable with a single cp command in Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)? The --no-preserve and --preserve seemed to be good candidates, except that they should "and" the mode flags, while what I am looking for is something that will "or" them (add +w mode).
More details: I have to import a repository from GIT to Perforce. I want that all Perforce depot files are Read-Only (that is how Perforce was designed), while all other files that were derived/copied from depot files are writable. Currently if a Makefile tries to copy a Read-Only file then the derived file will also be Read-only. This leads to build-errors when cp tries to overwrite Read-Only file second time. Of course the --force is a workaround here but then the derived file is also Read-Only. Also I do not want to mess with "chmod" after each "cp" command - I will do that only as the last resort.
I have Ubuntu 11.04. My system exceeds by far the recommendations for the game. The game is from 2001 and has very low system specs, so that's not the problem. Other games run fine, I have 3d acceleration etc. The game installs, but when I try to run it, it gives me the following error:
Critical Error: General Protection Fault
History: UD3DRenderDevice::CreateVideoTexture <- AllocTextures <- UD3DRenderDevice:: SetRes <- UD3DRenderDevice::Init <- UWindowsViewport::TryRenderDevice <- UWindowsViewport::OpenWindow <-UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine
I really love that game and couldn't do without it. Another problem, not games related. My Ubuntu desktop freezes completely sometimes if screen is idle for a few minutes. A blank, white full screen appears and nothing I do can get me back to normal desktop. Only solution is Restart.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI know Slackware probably doesn't require too much protection from viruses or spyware, but I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to help protect it (other than Common Sense).
I ask this for 2 reasons:
1. I'm Paranoid
2. Every now and then I mistype a website I go to and it takes me to a completely different website which frightens me because of my paranoia.
So is there anything I can do to help protect Slackware, and in the rare case I get a virus is there a way to remove it directly?
Is it also possible to use Slackware (currently Master drive) to remove a virus on Windows (slave drive)?

I'm using FSC Lifebook S series, to be more specific S7210. I know from specs and from Win that it contains onboard accelerometer, in Win Vista it works perfectly, with FSC supplied "Motion sensor utility" it protects hard disk from damage during sudden shakes of notebook.

I'm trying to create a bootable HFS+ partition. I've succeeded in creating the HFS+ partition in Windows using Mac Drive 8, but need to set the partition to "Active" to be able to install an OS on it. The issue lies that when I try to set it to active in windows disk management it tells me that the media has been write protected by Mac Drive. I want to either set the partition as active (or at least disable write protection to allow me to set it as active in windows) or find another means of creating an HFS+ partition, which I know gparted claims to do but I can't manage to enable it. I'm currently running Windows 7 but I have Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD to use if necessary.

I've been thinking we should have an IDS/IPS inside the firewall and I've been thinking about Snort in NIDS mode but have some basic questions:
1. Can anyone recommend a good web GUI for Snort?
2. Is it advisable to run both on the same machine? (Both from a POV of security and resources.)
3. Would Snort add any real benifit to using TPM?
I have a Samba server running on a Red Hat 5.6 system that provides a large file share to both UNIX/Linux and Windows environments. There are two user accounts that can access this file share:
foo - has full access to ALL files in the file share
bar - has full access to just one directory tree ('dog') in the file share
I created two different mount points, one for foo and one for bar. I've set all of the files in 'dog' to be owned by bar, which works fine for the bar account. The problem is, the foo account can't access the files. Also, foo and bar need to be able to share files, by placing them in the 'dog' directory tree.
I'm not sure how to set this up using standard Samba tools. I've looked in the Samba GUI available with Red Hat, and don't see anything helpful there regarding my need. I've Google'd and have seen references to using ACLs with Samba. Is this the right solution to this problem, or have I missed something?
