Ubuntu Security :: Changed From Firestarter To Gufw - Conflicts

Mar 11, 2011

Just want to stealth ports on my laptop. Had problems with firestarter when I installed in on 10.10. Set Firestater back to defaults and then dumped it with:

Code:
sudo apt-get purge firestarter
Set up Gufw to defaults and now am not sure what I am seeing with iptables.
iptables -L shows .....

Do these settings look correct for default settings for Gufw? or do I still have some problems with the old firestarter settings not being removed. All I want is all ports stealthed. I know that ping is enabled but I believe that is a default setting in ufw. Could I restore iptables to default with:

Code:
sudo iptables -F
and then enable Gufw and set default?

Ubuntu Security :: Gufw - Cannot See The Other Computer Files

Jan 1, 2010

VERY GREEN to Ubuntu. My setup:

1. computer A connects to the internet through usb dial up modem
2. computer A & B are wirelessly networked through an ADHOC network.
3. computer B doesnot need to connect to the internet.

I've installed the GUFW. If I enable it I can not see the other computer files. I use static IPs for both. I tried setting a rule but I get stumped were it asks for the port. I'm not all that familiar with ports.

Ubuntu Security :: Gufw Asks For Root Access When First Starting Up?

Apr 23, 2011

I just installed gufw and was in quite a hurry. A root acces prompt came up as I started gufw for the first time, and I quickly responded with appropriate password. All I saw in this hurry was that it had something to do with the usr/share directory.So, here's my question: Does gufw require root access when first starting up

Ubuntu Security :: Firestarter Fail In Boot Log?

Oct 20, 2010

I've been using Firestarter for a while and have used it to set-up inbound and outbound policies (which are probably way too restricitve) but since turning on boot logging the other day I have noted that the boot log contains the message:

Code:
* Starting the Firestarter firewall [fail] I find this somewhat alarming. I have seen post[URL].ht= firestarter (although have not added it the auto startup list and do not wish to have it start without the root password). What I would like to know is as the computer boots up does it set the iptables to their last setting irrespective of whether firestarter starts or does firestarter need to start to set the iptables and therefore my policies?

Ubuntu Security :: Firestarter Prevents Internet Connection?

Jan 1, 2011

I am running ubuntu 10.10. I recently enabled the firewall and installed Firestarter to configure it. Bad decision apparently. I can't connect to the internet using Firefox unless I first stop the firewall using Firestarter. After I do that, Firefox connects to the internet just fine.

If I uninstall Firestarter, will the ubuntu firewall function as it did originally, before I configured it? Or will it continue to function the way it does right now, which doesn't allow me to connect to the internet?

OpenSUSE :: 11.2 - Security Patch For Libfreebl3 Conflicts

Oct 27, 2010

I have SuSE 11.2. There is a security patch for Mozilla NSS Library. However, I get told by YaST that the libfreebl3-3241.noarch conflicts with mozilla-nspr.i586. (There's also a patch for glibc but apparently, it is not "willing" to install this without installing the other patch first). Anyway, I did the following: zypper lp and then rpm -qi libfreebl3 and then zypper lr -d.

Here are the results:
Code:
zypper lp
Repository 'Updates for openSUSE 11.2-0' is out-of-date. You can run 'zypper refresh' as root to update it.
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages.....

Code:

Repository 'Education' is up to date.
Repository 'Printing' is up to date.

All repositories have been refreshed. I don't know what to do. In order to update FireFox, (on Aug 1, 2010) I had to do as posted in this thread: (instructions by caf4926) Updating firefox. So, I followed these directions: ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing. Now what do I do?

Security :: Active Connections Showing In Firestarter 1.0.3?

Feb 26, 2010

I am running Firestarter on Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. I have noticed several times that after closing all web apps (Firefox, Thunderbird) that some entries remain under the heading "Active connections" on the Firestarter "Status" tab. Often these show no source program. Currently I have 2 showing which show Firefox as the source. These persist after Firefox is shut down. I have verified that no Firfox process is running. And both of the IPs point to google.I have Disconnected eht0 and they still show. I have logged out and back in and they still show. I must reboot the machine to make these entries go away. Which makes me think perhaps this is a bug in Firestarter(?) Is there another way I can identify truly active connections?

Ubuntu Security :: Restrict Open Ports In Firestarter When Using Torrents?

Aug 19, 2010

I am trying to configure Bittorando and iptables using Firestarter. I have got it working but am concerned about security holes.

Let me explain.

AIUI, the Bittornado program contacts the "tracker" on various ports which (from the previously blocked connections in Firestarter) ranged from 4664 to 65532. Therefore, currently I have set this range to be open to allow downloads of the torrent.

However, this seems, IMHO, to devalue to point of having a restrictive exit policy for Firestarter since now virtually all ports are open. I can see nothing on the Bittornado client to restrict the outgoing ports although the "listening" (incoming) ports can be restricted.

I would prefer to have my system locked-down so that the minimal number of ports are open to initiate external connections so is there any way to achieve this with Bittornado?

Fedora Security :: Firestarter Firewall Manager Keeps Crashing After About 5 Minutes. Restarts, Runs For A While, Then Crashes?

Apr 12, 2009

Have homebrewed machine, was running Fedora 8. Installed Fedora 10.Firestarter firewall manager keeps crashing after about 5 minutes. Restarts, runs for a while, then crashes.Thought it might be an IPTABLES turf war with the native Fedora 10 gui firewall manager, so disabled that at System > Admin > Firewall. Also disabled SElinux. Still have problems.Firestarter firewall seems to work OK, just the gui Firestarter monitor/manager.If anyone has ideas as to cause, I'll take a clue.I could use Firestarter to generate the IPTABLES by ..manually editing the /etc/firestarter/inbound|outbound/allow-.. files and then../etc/init.d/firestarter restartBut I find the events log useful to look at. Anyone know where the events log file is kept in the file system?

Ubuntu :: Firestarter Removal - Error "zooming Up The Screen Containing Firestarter In It"

Feb 5, 2010

I installed firestarter and then at a later date uninstalled/purged it, both actions via synaptic. I have a very verbose boot, I like to see what's going on, and noticed after the uninstall/purge that I was getting an error zooming up the screen containing firestarter in it. After many restarts I found that a file was left in /etc/network/if-up.d/50firestarter and this file was simply a script trying to restart firestarter. At this point I've commented out the calling line and followed the commented line with exit 0. This removes the error but there's still a link calling the file so, is this a bug or am I missing something? It appears the uninstall/purge wasn't entirely complete.
