Re: [hlds_linux] using mysql to handle bans
yeah. You need a perl script to run right before psycho stats that pulls the bans from the db and then writes them to banned.cfg. Should be like a 2 minute coding project at best.

If you have a BIG banned.cfg you want to have it in the command line.

Re: [hlds_linux] rcon hacking w/out being logged into server?
Blaine Kahle said: > Oh come on [snip] ...I now have > the ability to execute arbitrary commands/software inside your network. Yes, there are many things you can do because you've found a vulnerability on a box on my network. The point I am making is that there is one fewer thing you can do if I haven't allowed unnecessary incoming ports - you cannot put up a listener. Listeners allow you to easily control the box without making use of the exploit each time you want to do something. Most times when you can execute abitrary code with an exploit, it requires an overflow (i.e. crash). While you're trying to figure out how to make your trojan work, somebody is going to notice the server keeps crashing and eventually patch it... hopefully with code that is no longer vulnerable. If you do business on the Internet, you will be hacked. The point is to slow down the attacker as much as possible so as to minimize the damage. Allowing incoming connections to ports that do not have a specific process listening is something that should be avoided. -Mad ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

An admin that doesnt have his machine > tripwired? Tripwire is a specific product, or rather a line of products. How does the trojaning of a file apply to what we're discussing? New code can be introduced without replacing existing files, or are you proposing that an alarm should be thrown up every time a new file is created on a system? Nancy better not save that word document, lest she get a visit from the Friendly Admin! :) A better product to detect the attack I described would be a network IDS. Hopefully, it'd recognize executable code, or match some other "malicious" signature on the packets passing through. If all the insider program needs is instructions on what attack to perform, then things get tougher, as it's hard for an IDS to detect something like "function 01" on the wire as being malicious. > > This discussion is now rather off-topic for the hlds_linux list, so I > > encourage anyone wishing to discuss firewall best-practices to email > > off-list. > > Oh you mean like 99% of the traffic on this list?
