If I navigate to address [URL] in my Firefox address bar, an Authentication required window opens up asking for "User name: " and "Password: ". Correct "User name: " is "admin" and correct "Password: " is "pA55w0Rd". They work fine if I type them in manually to the Authentication required window, but for some reason I can't get in using the hydra with words.txt password file, which contains "pA55w0Rd":
Code:
[root@ ~]# cat words.txt

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to do some testing with server cloning and partitioning and hit some walls. The server is question is a Dell PowerEdge 2950 and the Distro's I have tried are :-
Clonezilla-live-1.2.8-46-i686
Parted Magic 6.2 & 6.2
The problem is a little strange is that the console appears to keep reporting either unreadable sectors on sr0 for clonezilla till SQUASHFS fails to load/locate and it panic's or in the case of Parted Magic.. copying files to RAM ..cp: read error: Input/output error
Mounting pmagic-6.2.sqfs... mount: wrong fstype, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Mounting //sqfs_disk/pmagic-6.2.sqfs failed.
type "exit" to reboot the computer
bash-4.1#
Now the only problem here is I can't check the log's or dmesg the thing because it freezes the KVM and as I am offsite I have no spares with me Parted Magic does boot on a number of other servers like the R900 but will not boot at all here, I have tried safemode and disabling various other flag's but I must be missing something.

For example, the loss of a single unencrypted laptop may have huge repercussions. This could include breaching data protection legislation with the risk of a significant fine, a loss in the confidence of an organisation, as well as the risk that sensitive data may fall into the hands of a competitor or third party with malicious intent.

I am currently running a 64-bit Fedora 14 server which hosts a game server, a voice server, and remote desktop functionality, each on a distinct TCP port. I am currently using the built-in firewall to deny all traffic other than ICMP ping/pong and TCP traffic on those specific ports.I am looking for a graphical application which will let me monitor any connections being made to my server in order to keep an eye out for possible security concerns. To be more specific, I'd like to be able to see the source IP addresses, TCP/UDP ports, and individual bandwidth in use by external connections being made to the server, along with any other information that might be helpful in identifying a possible intrusion attempt.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow would You encrypt Passwords [emails,forums,accounts] onto USB Flash the most Secure way? (It should be command line so I can use any Linux distribution on it.) Is gpg -c <filename> secure enough ? And what FAST distro would you install on it? I'm learning on old USB flash and found SliTaz pretty damn cool,I use it as a LiveUSB. Also I've tried Kubuntu but it's bit slow. Going to try Lubuntu soon too. Any other idea?
And I'd like to install some FAST distro onto new 8GB mini USB flash drive,maybe Kubuntu as well. How would you partition its Flash drive? Probably separate partition for stored encrypted files?
I recently came upon an ubuntu variant called blackbuntu. Its in early release stages at this point, but its being marketed as a pen test distro. Exactly like Back Track, but in Ubuntu form. Was just wondering if anyone has had a chance to use this yet? All software that the distro uses is readily avilable in the ubuntu repositories already.
