Ubuntu Security :: Adblock Plus - Safe For Chromium & Firefox?
Apr 19, 2011I would like to know if you guys think this is a safe plugin/extension to use with either Chromium or Firefox.
There is an old page that shows it had security issues in the past.[URL].. Would it be safe to use this or do you think someone could use it to steal my passwords, etc. while browsing?
Ubuntu Security :: Recommendations For Luks Encryption?
Jan 8, 2010When 10.04 is released I'll encrypt my /home partition using luks. I've read that xts is good for hard drive encryption and aes is good for cipher encryption. I'm looking for something that is fairly secure without sacrificing a lot of speed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian :: AdBlock Plus Not Working With Iceweasel
Jul 7, 2015I have Inceweasel 31.8.0 installed on LXDE Debian Wheezy and I am trying to make AdBlock Plus work. The thing is that I get pop-ups from any site, Youtube ad videos, etc. all the time, just like I have nothing installed to prevent that.
I tried:
- Installing AdBlock from Iceweasel add-ons, with a suscription to easylist ;
- installing xul-ext-adblock-plus (also with the same suscription).
With each configuration or even with none of them, I get the same results as described above. Is there anything I can do ?
By the way, I don't get Youtube ad videos on Chromium with Adblock installed through the Chrome webstore.
Networking :: ALL Adblock Addons Disabled
Feb 1, 2011I have recently started using Network Connect by Juniper on my Fedora 14 laptop. It took a while to get it to work correctly. So, here is the function I made to allow me to use Network Connect quickly.
Code:
NCremote() {
cd /home/bs/.juniper_networks/network_connect;
echo "Signing into somewhere.com"
echo "Rememeber to escape your password!"
read -p "Username: " user
read -p "Password: " pass
java -jar NC.jar -h 123.43.22.11 -u $user -p $pass -f ../somewhere.com.cert -r "Realm Name" &
cd ;}
Important things to note. You will have to export the certificate from the site, you can use firefox to do that. The '-r' parameter requires the *actual* name of the realm you want to authenticate against.
You will also have to run firefox, go to the network connect site, click the button and let it install first. If it doesn't *make sure* that you have ALL adblock addons disabled.

Just a few questions:How do you block ads, like in Firefox with AdBlock Plus?How to turn on spell checking? I see it has a setting where you are supposed to enter a dictionary (attached), but I don't know where it could be.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSecurity :: Deny Host When Changing SSH Port 22
Oct 30, 2010I have an Asterisk on an externally hosted vServer with Lenny. In order to further protect the SSH access I intended to change the Port number 22 to something like 55555. For this I changed the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and restarted ssh. This caused unfortunately the following problems:
(1) The first login works but DenyHost writes now the IP in its list so that the second login with the same IP is blocked.
(2) With RESET_ON_SUCCESS = yes several logins were possible with the same IP, but later it also was blocked for some still unknown reasons.
(3) Files can be uploaded for being edited, but they can't always be saved. When they can't be saved the next login with this IP is blocked. It thus looks like the blocking can occur while being connected. When the files can't be saved it is however still possible to copy files from the computer to the vServer.
I add below the entries in the auth.log from a logout and a login. It shows further how suddenly the attempts to save files were blocked. After this session the IP used for it was blocked. I don't know where the message "Unable to open env file: /etc/default/locale" comes from. If I remember right I had these messages already before. I don't know how much that is really important.

Fedora Security :: Redirect Auditd Log To Remote Host?
Sep 17, 2009way to redirect the audit daemon message to a remote host I checked the auditd.conf and it's man page and find that the log location is specified by the line log_file = file_path and in the man page
Quote:
"log_file: This keyword specifies the full path name to the log file where audit records will be stored. It must be a regular file."
does this mean that the auditd does not have the function to redirect the logs to a remote hosts.

Security :: Hosts.Allow Vs. SSH / Sending Message Connection Closed By Remote Host?
May 29, 2010I have set up SSH and redirected the ssh server to listen on another port other than 22 for a bit of added security.
Now in hosts.deny I have:
ALL : ALL
In hosts.allow I have:
SSH : ip_address_of_client
I can no longer connect. I get the message: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host.
When I change hosts.allow to read:
ALL : ip_address_of_client
I can successfully connect the server.
However, I only want to allow SSH access in hosts.allow. What is the correct syntax?
I have tried and failed with each one of these:
SSH : ip_address:port_number
SSH2 : ipaddress
sshfwd-portnumber : ip_address_of_client
Ubuntu Security :: Ssh: Connect To Host "server" Port 22: Connection Timed Out
Jul 13, 2010when I am run:
ssh -v "login"@"server"
I get:
OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu4, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009

debug1: Connecting to server ["address"] port 22.
debug1: connect to address "address" port 22: Connection timed out

I suppose this is because I am connecting from a public institute where there is a firewall that is blocking an outbound connection on port 22.Is there anyway I can bypass the firewall using the internet ?

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Transfer Files From Cluster To Host And Then Host To Another?
Mar 4, 2010I am working on a cluster for a molecular dynamics class and I have to edit my FORTRAN code (only the newest and best for me!). In order to get through to the cluster I have to ssh in. The network on which the cluster resides is behind a firewall, so I have to ssh through the firewall into the network first.
this is fine, I can login and move files and folders as needed, including sftp-ing into host 1, then into the cluster so I can transfer files from cluster to host and then host to me. This gets rather tiresome, so it would be nice to edit the files in place.
The problem is that when I access my code with emacs it launches the emacs client on Host 1, with no mouse support. I know the purists will howl about how I should be using keyboard shortcuts, but I am a chemist and not a programmer, so the mouse is very nice for me. Is there any way I can perhaps mount the cluster using sshfs so that when I open my code it launches a local instance of emacs? Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I thought it was network related.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Recommendations For Recovery - No Route To Router?
Mar 24, 2010I messed up my Karmic install on my laptop trying to get wireless networking connection to behave better I'm not really sure what I did, but the problem I have is that, though it connects to my wireless network, it does not get a route to it. Any attempt to reach the router with a ping yields a destination unreachable. Trying to fix it in true hack fashion, I tried messing around with the static routes. I added an explicit route for my router (route add 192.168.0.1 wlan0) with no avail. I ensured there was a default route to the router which is a gateway outside of my LAN (route add default wlan0 gw 192.168.0.1). I have another route to my LAN network with a gateway of "*". I've done all this but the results are the same.
So, I'm interested in recommendations to fix this. Is there some networking setup/install procedure I can rerun? Does a recovery boot work? Or is it best to go back and reinstall Karmic? Are there other places that you might suggest I look to in order to fix this?
