Security :: In Search Of Fundamentals Of Hardening (Kubuntu System)
Mar 22, 2011When I google this I get a million results, most of which are either too in-depth to be practical or advertisements for one solution or another. Is there a general guideline for hardening a linux (kubuntu) system? A set of steps say, to close all ports and disable all listening services like you would do to a windows machine? I can hardly believe that there are NO vulnerable points of attack on a default kubuntu 10.10 install. I don't know very much right now so I'm looking for something to fill in the gaps and translate my knowledge of windows (in)security into a holistic view of how the penguin operates.

Slackware :: Screwed Up After Hardening Down System?
May 31, 2011So I was following the majority of this guideand sometime last night my computer went awry. First all my icons went blank, and I was unable to open anything. I had to reboot, and upon trying to log back in as a user I got an error /bin/bash: Command not found. I tried removing the user completely and starting from scratch but I am unable to remove the /home/user/.bash_history file. I even tried with root. I'm at a complete loss, confused. I know I did have to chomd 644 the entire /etc directory because I was getting some permission errors there.

General :: Security - Remote Into System Workstation Behind A Firewall?
Apr 22, 2011Let's say I have a Linux workstation at work, behind a firewall. So even though I may have a remote access server set up on it (such as the most excellent NoMachine NX Server), I can't access it from home.
My home network happens to have a Linux server. Is it possible to ssh from work to the home Linux machine and set up a tunnel so that once I'm at home, I can run the NX client, point it to my home Linux box on some port like 9000, and have that forward through the tunnel to port 22 on my work Linux box? How would I set this up?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Remote Install To A System Currently Running Windows ?
Aug 10, 2010Does anyone know of any way (preferably fully documented/tutorialed, but even theoretical would be great) to remotely install Ubuntu to a machine currently running Windows...
We have 8 machines powering a digital signage system. The machines are not physically accessible (without extreme difficulty) and are currently running windows XP with a VNC server for control.
I want them to run Ubuntu instead. Is there any way anyone can think of that I can do this? My only thought so far is WUBI...but once it boots into Ubuntu ssh isn't installed by default and vnc isn't enabled by default so I wouldn't be able to control it.
Also I'd really like to completely wipe out Windows and use only Ubuntu.

Apr 6, 2010I'm a student and I'm already able to access the university's Linux machines from Windows using a combination of Putty and Xwindows with Cygwin. The computers I'm ssh-ing into have Ubuntu on them. Is there a way to remote access them to get the entire desktop? Like having a virtual OS window, but be using a remotely accessed computer. Is there anyway to do this or should I just settle with the X11 forwarding through Putty? Thanks!
EDIT - Just wanted to mention that these are public lab computers so I can't just have myself logged in with a remote desktop set up and waiting. I'd need something that allows me to log in remotely as well on the server without needing to to change what's on the computer there.

Software :: Verify Directory On Remote System Available To Local System
May 5, 2009The code listed below is an excerpt from a script that I am writing. The goal is to verify that a directory on a remote server is available to the local system. If that is not the case, a log file is written, and all filesystems that were previous unmounted, are remounted on the local system.
Code:
# # Unmount all NFS mounts prior to the archive process.
umount -a -t nfs
# Mount the remote directory (NFS) prior to running the make_net_recovery script.
# Make sure there is a <remote server> folder located in the /mnt directory. If it is
# not already there, create one.
mount <remote server>:/<local system> /mnt/<remote server>
# Verify the remote directory (NFS) is available. This directory is needed
# as it is the destination for the iso images. If it is not available, stop
# here, and write the results to a log file.
df |grep <remote server> > /dev/null
RC=$?
echo $RC
if [ ${RC} -eq 0 ]
then
echo successful
else
echo not successful >> /tmp/make_net_backup.log && mount -a
exit
fi
Is the syntax shown above correct?

Jan 2, 2010When you have a computer whose hard drive is partitioned with one part Windows and the other Linux, what are the concerns with viruses and transference across the two systems? Can viruses infect the windows side brought over through the Linux side (Firefox) or are the partitions completely separated? In other words, if all of your Internet voyages are through Firefox under Linux, is there any danger of infecting the Windows side of the computer? What about when having Linux installed within the Windows portion as a virtual system?

Sep 26, 2010I often get responses from people who first say: "Are you sure? You want your network to be exposed to the outside world?" I am not experimenting on a Production Server of NASA or any Security Concern Department. Friends, there is no harm in experimenting on your personal computer or on a test computer which is isolated from the production environment. Look at hackers! What do they do? If they don't know how security is breached then how would they come up with security measures?
If my question reads... "How to let any user perform Administrative Tasks on a Linux System irrespective of his/her privileges on that particular system?" then I would not get the right answers in the first place. They will say... "You are letting everyone destroy your system... are you sure you want to do that?" My question is: Why should we restrict ourselves from experimenting even if it sounds weird to other people?
I give you an example where it is desirable to let an unprivileged user perform certain tasks. You want to know if there are any employees in your office who are storing videos in their home directory and filling up the disk space to a great amount. You have a department called "Command Center or Data Center Operations or Help Desk" call it whatever you would, whose work is to monitor such activities, and you create an account "monitor" for them to monitor such activities but they are not able to do them:

Ubuntu Security :: Antivirus System For Cleaning Windows Platform Viruses?

I don't find a debian package of it and don't know how to install tar.gz and the tutorials don't help a lot. Are there other antivirus solutions which are good for cleaning Windows OS but work on Linux/WINE? I wonder if I can install antivirus software in WINE and scan with no problem the hard disks.

Aug 14, 2010I have a VPS (Ubuntu 8.04 server eition) and as such am stuck with using a software firewall.
i currently have UFW installed.
I would ideally like to have my firewall be a little rude, or rather just not polite. I know what i am asking will break the RFC, but i consider this ok due to the security benefits.
I would like to have my firewall
1) ignore (eg drop without responding)all packets that dont start with a syn flag
2)for all other traffic that is currently blocked, have it dropped (again drop it without responding)
If there are any other rules you can think of i would like to know them. I already have only the services i want open and the rest blocked.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: VNC Level 3 Installation - Remote Into The System Via My Windows Xp Systems
Sep 15, 2009What I'm trying to do at this point is setup VNC so I can remote into the system via my windows xp systems. I have VNC installed on those computer and I was able to get GNOME's remote desktop operating when I log in on level 5 and actually logged into my user account. However, when I'm not logged in on level 5 it will reject connections entirely. Ultimately I want to remote into the system using tightVNC and view the level 3 (command line only) thing, and allow me to telinit - 5 to switch to gui if I need it from VNC on the windows system. This way I don't need a monitor, keyboard and mouse plugged into the server. Right now that's what I'm having to do.
The problem is that it doesn't run in level 3 at all and level 5 (gui mode) doesn't work if i'm not logged into an account. So how can I get this to work at as a constant running server no matter what level and login point i'm at? Ultimately for this Linux admin class I have to setup a working server and I figured I'd get a base setup with VNC support that I could log into from school to work off of instead of having to use the local connection. Once I get VNC working on my network i'm pretty sure I can get it working beyond my local network.
Here's some commandline stuff that may diagnose my issues:
Code:
As you can see I'm having issues with the libstdc++ lib being detected. I have it installed, but apparently not everything is setup properly. I also have an RPM file for VNC and I've tried to install it with the gnome shell but it gives me an error: "Can't install /home/[user]/Download/vnc-4_1_3-x86_linux.rpm as no transaction" I'm not sure what that means. When I use the command line I get this:
