View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Password Hacking By Bruteforce?
Jan 4, 2010I think it is very easy to hack passwords in Linux, but I did not try it yet. If you use sudo you get 3 attempts for the correct password. But if you get enough time it should be no problem to hack it by bruteforce. Imagine a script an attacker places on your machine which runs for a few hours or days. I think it is much more effective to delete the user out of the admin (or adm?) group so that user cannot be any danger anymore. You would have to login with root and readd the user then.
You now say: but if you login with root you got almost the same effect as with sudo. Of course it is the same. That is why I would use a system (not sure which yet) to create sub enviroments of your OS, which got the attribute that they can run without root, only got one account that can sudo and once sudo access is denied there is no other way to login as root. You just can repermit sudo access by the parent os layer.

Fedora Security :: Server Seems To Attack The World Hacking?
Apr 10, 2009I went away from home for a few days, ... Now I am back at home and noticed, that my server is going out with 100% available bandwidth. The server is mainly Http / Ftp / Mail server, so I stopped all services, to see which one it is. ervices stopped, still 100Mbps go out like ants in the flood.
I updated the system, made a backup, installed IPtraf. It seems that I have something 'installed' and my server is running something to attack User computers. It seems to try to find something on random IP's random ports. I am a little bit confused now. As long as my sites are running, I'm ~OK~ but sooner or later I would like to have my bandwidth back. How could I try to hunt down which service/app/process got hacked?
It seems that the monetary system of our society got now more enemy's than friends. Capitalism seems to reach it's end. But my server is serving also ART! Sooner or later we will need to pay copyright even for our thoughts. I was reading today, that the French president wants to punish file sharing as his wife made 3 albums, and wants to get some money ..
Security :: Use .htaccess To Redirect Chinese Hacking Attempts?
Aug 9, 2010My server (CentOS 5.4) is being bombarded 24x7 with IP addresses from China trying to exploit phpMyAdmin. For every one I block on the firewall, half a dozen come to the funeral! It's a pity these morons don't have something better to occupy their time. I'm getting page after page of this (see below) every day and it's been going on for weeks. I don't even have phpMyAdmin on the server. I don't use it and I deleted it.
I've read that you can use .htaccess and / or mod_rewrite to redirect / block them based on any query for phpMyAdmin (they try all letters in upper and lower case, leading to page after page). Unfortunately, I have no idea of how to do this. I already have an .htaccess file. Maybe someone can suggest what to add to stop these pests from wasting my bandwidth and suggest somewhere I could redirect them to to cause them maximum problems. I don't want to block the entire country, seems a bit like overkill, not all Chinese are morons. we aren't even in the USA, so why they are doing this is beyond me.
A TINY sample!

Ubuntu :: Linux Ignoring Windows NTFS Permissions & Security Settings?
Apr 26, 2010I have NTFS-protected directories under Windows. However under Linux, even though I'm not logged in as a Super-User, Ubuntu cheerfully mounts all NTFS partitions on this machine and EVERY computer on my home network. This gives my GUESTS complete access to all machines connected to my network: Nautilus -> Windows Network -> Workgroup -> Clicking on any computer Name gives access to windows' administrative shares C$, D$, etc. I've always known that Linux ignores Windows security, but... what is the solution?
View 9 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Call Putty / Plink To Start A Remote SSH Linux Script With User Input
Jun 27, 2011Seemingly simple question, which yields slightly undesired results. Execute putty to start a script on a remote linux server which requires user input The remote script does a read -p "Please enter name" NAME I can use plink to execute a script over SSH, the following attempts and problems are shown below :-
Note the -load ns is to load a session that doesnt exist, ie ensure no defaults are used
1) plink.exe -load ns <ip_addr> -l <user> -pw <password> <script path/name> Problem) Doesn't allow/show user input, ie its non-interactive.
2) Add -t to allocate a pty :- plink.exe -t -load nc <ip_addr> -l <user> -pw <password> <script path/name> Problem) Ok, so now the user input can be seen, but I get Ctrl+H (^H) when backspace is pressed, ok if the user doesnt make a mistake!
3) Use putty instead with a saved session putty.exe -load "SavedSession" Problem) (a) Get a new window opened, not a biggy, but not as nice. (b) saved session cannot be easily moved. (c) Get password prompt, cannot provide password like with plink, I know I know, use keys, but this is a closed, private network, and its easier not to bother with keys!
So ideally, I would like the SSH to execute in-line, that is from within the batch file/command line shell I am in, not prompt for username/password, run the linux script and allow prompts and delete/backspace to work.

Programming :: C Coding Hacking / Ssh Dynamic Local Port Forwarding Implementation?
Feb 3, 2010From this thread I've decided to try add a feature of removing local port forwardings in ssh.Here are some very ugly and not-yet working hacks what I made so far:
* Patch for channels.c
* Patch for channels.h
* Patch for clientloop.c
I was clearly expecting this to work without any troubles-everything seem to be logically correct, but I made a programming mistake somewhere: don't know where, maybe you will point me to this?Many sites say there is a WAY AROUND with -D param(starting socks proxy as a tunnel-generator), added since 5.2, but I don't need that way around. I need a way through. I use exact ports for exact services and if I want to change it runtime I'd like to have ability to do so.If you have other ideas or points instead of coding this, please share them here & here(original question).
