Ubuntu Security :: Block Multiple Ssh Login Attempts?
Mar 22, 2011I am running a ubuntu server 10.10 with SSH, and OpenVPN. I use it mainly for the VPN, but I have seen log in attempts such as:
Mar 22 14:52:53 UbuntuSvr sshd[2397]: Invalid user support from 85.217.190.69
Mar 22 14:52:55 UbuntuSvr sshd[2399]: Invalid user student from 85.217.190.69
Mar 22 14:52:57 UbuntuSvr sshd[2401]: Invalid user transfer from 85.217.190.69
Mar 22 14:52:59 UbuntuSvr sshd[2403]: Invalid user user from 85.217.190.69
[Code]...
Is it possible to make it so when some one has tried logging in 5 times with an invalid user/pass that the ip is banned for 10 minutes? I have password auth set to no and am using keys.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Limit Login Attempts For Specific User?
Jan 15, 2011I'd like to limit login attempts for specific user. I've found information in manpages: [URL]but I'm not sure if this '@' is purposly there, so would be that correct?
Code:
aparaho - maxlogins 4
or
Code:
@aparaho - maxlogins 4
Maybe '@' is a group syntax? I'm confused.
What happens after 4 failed loggins? Is it enough to restart system to get another login attempts?
Are there any other values that it is reasonable to limit for safety reasons?
Security :: Block Port Scanning Attempts?
Nov 18, 2010I run SSH on a publicly open server and see following attempts in /var/log/auth.log which I was told by some one could be port scanning attempts.(Not sure though)
Code:
Nov 18 23:50:19 server sshd[21716]: Did not receive identification string from 186.0.80.197
Nov 19 00:05:57 server sshd[24056]: Did not receive identification string from 85.108.110.66
How can I block above such attempts?
Fedora Security :: Email On ALL Ssh Login Attempts?
Apr 28, 2009I know this is probably easy and if I only took a while to figure it out maybe I could but I have some stuff that needs to happen soon and I can't figure this out. I was wondering how I could have a log monitor that would email me whenever someone tries to login over ssh to my system. I'm open to everything daemons/scripts or cron itl works as I am not running a production server (but I might be starting that soon). Oh and just a side how do I get sent an email when I get port scanned

Ubuntu Security :: SSH Login Attempts Using WINBIND ?
Oct 23, 2010I have an SSH server on my laptop, and I'm using the default configuration file, but I added "AllowUsers <myUserName>". I get lots of login attempts like the ones below in my /var/log/auth.log.From Google, I find that pam_winbind allows some kind of Windows authentication. This leaves me with 2 questions. What does winbind do when I have not configured any Windows/Samba accounts? How can I turn it off?

Security :: Failed Login Delay Parameter
Apr 27, 2010Does anyone know a method for setting the timeout period for failed logins on Linux RHEL5.x systems? Linux docs say to set the failed login delay paramter in /etc/login.defs to the desired seconds. I did this, but the settings have no effect, ie weather set to 2,4,10, etc, the actuall failed login timeout period(which I verified with a stopwatch), never changes.

Feb 16, 2011I am trying to get OpenLDAP to authenticate user logins, but running around in circles. Are there any logs produced by either client and/or server that would indicate possible reasons why it was unable to login as a user?Below is an explanation, any ideas would be appreciated, as I think everything is setup as per the various articles on using LDAP.
I have a CentOS 5.5 OpenLDAP server, and several others, some host services, some are file shares (samba).So far I have been able to successfully configure OpenLDAP to carry out all the ldap* commands from both the local server and from any of the remote servers, either via non-ssl or ssl connections. However, as soon as I try connecting any services up to it, it doesn't play ball.Back to basics, having cleared off all previous attempts at this from all machines, I have gone through the following:
Installed OpenLDAP server/client on host (plus nss_ldap).
Configured /etc/openldap/slapd.conf (see below)
Configured /etc/openldap/ldap.conf (see below)

May 6, 2010set the number of retries networkmanager attempts to connect to a network to infinity?
I live in an area of Australia were wired internet dare not tread (or so say the ISPs). My only real choice is 3G wireless broadband, and even that is iffy at times. Often late at night the network towers do "something" (reset, maintenance, etc. - no idea) and the internet drops out, networkmanager tries to reconnect, fails, tries again, (etc. etc.) until it ultimately gives up, requiring human intervention when the towers are done with whatever it is they are doing. This happens frequently, and I'd like to have networkmanager keep trying "forever" until it connects so I don't have to restart the connection each morning.
Where would such a thing be set? How does networkmanager know when to give up?
Ubuntu Security :: Bad Login Protocols - Graphical Login For Gnome Sizes Itself To Accommodate A User's Exact Password Length
Dec 14, 2010I'm seeing really bad user login format under a standard installation and am wondering why ubuntu does this as default. I have noticed that the graphical login for gnome sizes itself to accommodate a user's exact password length. This indicates to me that somewhere on the unencrypted part of a standard installation with user encryption contains at least some indication of the content of the password length which seems a security flaw even if not a complete hole, it majorly reduces the number of attempts a cracker would have to cycle through.
And that's assuming that *only* the length is contained. Furthermore it seems that it would be MUCH better to simply display the number of characters entered into the pw field and allowing the gui to expand itself from an fixed size as the field is filled out so the the user still receives visual feedback for entering characters. Either a simple character count display should be entered into the field or a 10 dot to new line so that one can visually quickly count the number enter by multiplying from a 10base graphical observation.

When I am logged in as a user and I need to do something that requires root privileges the little password window comes up and I enter the root password. My question is how long are the root privileges granted for?I noticed that a few minutes after finishing checking out the firewall configuration tool and closing the window that I was still able to re-enter the fire wall tool and other administrative tools. How do I log out of the root privileges without logging out and then back into my account?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSecurity :: Lock User Accounts After Too Many Login Failures?
Jun 8, 2010I am trying to disable accounts after 5 unsuccessful login attempts. I am following the guidelines in this article:
[URL]
This is on an Oracle Enterprise 5.4 box, which is essentially RHEL 5.4 Here is what my /etc/pam.d/system-auth looks like:
--------
#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
[code]....
Unfortunately, the account does not seem to be locked or disabled. As root, runninng 'su test2 -c <some-command>' always sucessfully runs <some-command>, and leaves the failed attempt count at 6. /etc/shadow does not have an * or ! anywhere in the encrypted password for the 'test1' user.
What am I doing wrong? I thought that with the max attempts set to 0 in faillog, that the deny= parameter would be used. I thought I should be using su <user> -c <command> from the root account to test if the disable feature is working.
