Ubuntu Security :: Firehol - How To Unblock Transmission
Jun 15, 2011
in my firehol.conf there is: client "http https ftp pop3 pop3s smtp cups dhcp dns lpd mysql ntp rdp smtps samba ssh submission telnet p2p" accept When I put: client all accept Transmission is working as it should. I still want to block unknown clients.How can I unblock it?
am trying to use firehol. As i feel a bit thick when it comes to firewalls on linux. nmap told me i had ports 4443 and 6006 open. also i need 137 and 138 open for samba.i added the what i thought was the open and close commands in the firehol.conf. but to no avail. and it only starts when i log on not when the box starts. nmap report
Code:
johnh10000@tux:~$ nmap -v -A tux.isa-geek.org Starting Nmap 4.76 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-02-04 13:25 GMT Initiating Ping Scan at 13:25 Scanning 192.168.1.3 [1 port]
now still don't know how to use that properly.now after a quick sudo tcpdump -n -i eth0 > tcpdump.txtits obvious to me at least that anything 85.9.102.* is not to be trusted.see attached.how do i ban everything and anything from that block, pref without upsetting firehol. whats opinions of ipcop, btw.
I must be behind a firewall in this ubuntu 9.10 karmic. i need to access the Standard client TCP port. how to put a port into the firewall so that it is not blocked?
I can only access the Transmission web interface while the Transmission-gtk client is running. When I close it, the web interface is no longer available. I try to manually start the transmission-daemon, but the process never shows up as running.
I have the Shorewall firewall running on Ubuntu 10.10 server and the issue I am having is the firewall is blocking traffic from my transmission-daemon even though I have allowed it in the /etc/shorewall/rules.
as you can see, Shorewall is rejecting packets with source and destination port 51413 on incoming net2fw and outgoing fw2net even though the rules are set to accept.
I'm trying to open ports in Firehol for PS3 Media Server. So far I've tried all options from this Firehol "adding services" page and none of 'em is working for me. Here are the IPs:PC : 192.168.1.139PS3 : 192.168.1.138TV: 192.168.1.131PS3 Media Server Port: 35355If a port can be opened for specific IPs then I would like to open one for only 2 IPs.Firehol configuration:
version 5 # Accept all client traffic on any interface interface any internet
I inadvertently blocked a web page and get the following message when I try to open it using Firefox.
"The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. * This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."
I can change users and access the web page or change computers. No other websites were affected. Is there a way in Ubuntu or Gnome to unblock a website to accept cookies?
At school we're running edubuntu and some sites are blocked. I've heard that there is way to unblock some sites via terminal. For example facebook is blocked in our school. Is there any way to unblock it via terminal?
I am using my netbook with Squeeze when I travel. I recently started getting a msg "Network discovery service has been disabled" or something to that effect. And many websites have been blocked as well. I discovered that I could remove avahi-daemon to fix it and I have done so. Unfortunately, the websites are still blocked even though I no longer get the msg. I could not even post this msg here with Linux and had to boot with Windows to do it. It is a shame. Can someone please tell me how to unblock those websites.
We are using Red Hat linux 4 .We blocked certain sites through squid for certain ip address.we want to unblock these sites in particular interval ,ie during noon time and after 4.00 pm.
Here we have given
In the sites.txt we have given the names the of those sites that should be blocked
The problem is to unblock sites in sites.txt, for particular intervals
I want to start off by saying I'm very new to Ubuntu. I have been using Ubuntu for about a week now and have not looked back!! Now on to my issue. I have been tying to update Transmission 1.75(9117) to the lasted version (transmission-1.92) but i can't seem to get the Synaptic Package Manager to find it. I have downloaded transmission-1.92 and extracted it on to the desktop but Synaptic Package Manager still can't find it.
I can't seem to get transmission to boot up at start up. I read that I just needed to put "transmission -m" as the command in the start up window, but that doesn't seem to be working and I have no idea where the actual file resides to point to it
have a computer working 24/7, although a reboot procedure was performed and now I've no way to get transmission running, since I have no physical access to the machine.The only way I can access is throw ssh.Does any one knows any way of get it started?
Transmission is a simple BitTorrent client. It features a very simple, intuitive interface (gui and command-line) on top on an efficient, cross-platform back-end. This package contains the common files for the different transmission versions.
Changes
Changes for the versions: 1.75-0ubuntu2 1.75-0ubuntu2.2
Version 1.75-0ubuntu2.2:
* SECURITY UPDATE: fix arbitrary file overwrite via crafted torrent file - debian/patches/CVE-2010-0012.patch: adjust metainfo.c to check for '../' - CVE-2010-0012
So, I employed the update. Problem is, I do not see this as an installed application. TRANSMISSION is not listed in any submenu under the Applications menu OR Add/Remove.
Iam always downloading files using transmission bittorrent, the problem is my sister always keep pausing my all my downloads because it somehow slows her internet speed in her rooms computer, any way I can have a password prompted every time she pauses all my downloads in transmission?
When I try to open Transmission I get a message: "Couldn't open "/home/shai/.config/transmission/lock": Permission denied", and the only way to open it is by using gksudo.
I read on another thread that I need to delete that file, but the file doesn't exist.
I recently started using Transmission torrent client. I love it! The light weight and web interface feature is compelling. I am not able to figure out how to queue torrents.
I've installed many different versions on Ubuntu, many different times and I've never had a problem with transmission... untill now. I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 ( I was already previously using 10.04) and I updated and set up transmission but when I tested the port it said it was closed. This has never happened before.
I tried changing the port about 15 times but it says they are all closed. So I tried opening one..
... but still nothing. I have no firewall running and everything else works fine. Transmission was working before, on the same ports, same version of transmission, and same version of Ubuntu. Nothing has changed.
UPDATE: Actually it's version 2.04 not 2.0, guess the site i followed was a little dated.
so i was a little hasty in upgrading Tranmission to version 2.0 and after a while i noticed that the new version is really slow especially for public torrents my question is; is it possible to downgrade to version 1.93?
i followed these command to install the new version.
