hi ya doug

donno if the more secure rpc/portmap will solve your problem or not

I used compiled from sources snort for 2 month. Then,
I decide to add db support and try to recompile it.
But it depends on so many libs, that I decide better
get binary package. Also, I decide make snort-box as
clean mashine with only necessary features, because it
used only for intrusion detection (dedicated box).

1. Install base Debian system and select no additional
packages.
2. Download and manually (with dpkg) install necessary
packages (see list installed packages below).
3. Download and install ACID (Analysis Console for
Intrusion Databases).

FW: a filter for tcp socket

Did you hear about netfilter/iptables/ipchains etc?

hello,
this is a work i would like to study but i fall in problem when looking for
Linux Socket Filtering Documentation.
I want to make a filter that can alterate data on tcp packets following
some  rules ( e.g. faking icq messages to give you an idea ) and must block
the original packet (or rewrite it ... aniway it's IMPORTANT the original

this filter has to run on a machine in which traffic pass through

the only way i find to do that ( attach a program that filter sockets)
is through Linux Socket Filtering but it seem not to be any docs about that.
is there someone who has links to docs, examples or can suggest me another
way
to do that ?

Problems with pam_access

2001-09-03 Thread Philipp Schulte
Hello,
I am using pure-ftpd 0.99.1b (compiled from source) on a potato-system
with kernel 2.4.9.
I want to make one ftp-account accessible only for certain
IP-addresses. This is possible by using pam_access and it works fine
with ssh. I added this line to /etc/pam.d/pure-ftpd:

"account required pam_access.so"

When I try to login I get:
"pam_access[1585]: couldn't get the tty name" 
in my logfiles and the login fails immediately without a timeout.
pure-ftpd is running in standalone-mode (not from inetd) and I don't
want to change that. PAM works fine and pure-ftpd is compiled --with-pam
Any hints?
Regards,
Phil

CODA + portmapper == insecure?

2001-09-03 Thread Doug Alcorn
I'm interested in doing CODA file system over the internet.  It has
all the features of a networked filesystem that I'm interested in.
The only problem seems to be that it requires the use of the
portmapper.  From my NFS day, I seem to remember that portmapper is
insecure.  Is this true?  Is CODA itself secure?  It seems to use
kerberos for authentication.  Is there some way for it to use ssh port
forwarding instead?

Portsentry vs snort

2001-09-03 Thread Andrew Pollock
Hi,

I'm currently running Portsentry on a box, and I've got it configured to add an
ipchains rule firewalling off all access to an IP that touches one of the ports
that Portsentry is listening on (after doing some sanity checks on where the
portscan/port access came from).

I find the way that Portsentry runs (listening on a whole pile of dummy ports)
reasonably unattractive, and I'd prefer to use snort to perform the same task if
possible.

Can snort be configured to call an external program when particular rules are
matched (or better still, when a portscan is detected)?

The resp and react rule keywords don't seem to quite cut it, and ideally I'd
like something real time, not something that trolls snort's logs every n minutes
and reacts retrospectively.

regards

Andrew



Running/Compiling latest snort on potato

2001-09-03 Thread Shane Machon
Greetings,

Anyone had success compiling snort 1.81 on a stable potato box?

Looking at the snort website, there is a question regarding libpcap <
0.5 under Redhat that will cause problems, does anyone know if this is
this redhat specific? Potato only offers libpcap0 0.4a6-3.

I dont have to have 1.81 of snort (would be nice though!), just db
support (1.7 or above)

Any success stories?

I know there are now debian packages for snort, but going to
unstable/testing isnt an option ;)


Any responces appreciated.

Problems with pam_access

2001-09-03 Thread Philipp Schulte

Hello,
I am using pure-ftpd 0.99.1b (compiled from source) on a potato-system
with kernel 2.4.9.
I want to make one ftp-account accessible only for certain
IP-addresses. This is possible by using pam_access and it works fine
with ssh. I added this line to /etc/pam.d/pure-ftpd:

"account required pam_access.so"

When I try to login I get:
"pam_access[1585]: couldn't get the tty name" 
in my logfiles and the login fails immediately without a timeout.
pure-ftpd is running in standalone-mode (not from inetd) and I don't
want to change that. PAM works fine and pure-ftpd is compiled --with-pam
Any hints?
Regards,
Phil

CODA + portmapper == insecure?

2001-09-03 Thread Doug Alcorn

I'm interested in doing CODA file system over the internet.  It has
all the features of a networked filesystem that I'm interested in.
The only problem seems to be that it requires the use of the
portmapper.  From my NFS day, I seem to remember that portmapper is
insecure.  Is this true?  Is CODA itself secure?  It seems to use
kerberos for authentication.  Is there some way for it to use ssh port
forwarding instead?

Portsentry vs snort

2001-09-03 Thread Andrew Pollock

Hi,

I'm currently running Portsentry on a box, and I've got it configured to add an
ipchains rule firewalling off all access to an IP that touches one of the ports
that Portsentry is listening on (after doing some sanity checks on where the
portscan/port access came from).

I find the way that Portsentry runs (listening on a whole pile of dummy ports)
reasonably unattractive, and I'd prefer to use snort to perform the same task if
possible.

Can snort be configured to call an external program when particular rules are
matched (or better still, when a portscan is detected)?

The resp and react rule keywords don't seem to quite cut it, and ideally I'd
like something real time, not something that trolls snort's logs every n minutes
and reacts retrospectively.

regards

Andrew

Running/Compiling latest snort on potato

2001-09-03 Thread Shane Machon

Greetings,

Anyone had success compiling snort 1.81 on a stable potato box?

Looking at the snort website, there is a question regarding libpcap <
0.5 under Redhat that will cause problems, does anyone know if this is
this redhat specific? Potato only offers libpcap0 0.4a6-3.

I dont have to have 1.81 of snort (would be nice though!), just db
support (1.7 or above)

Any success stories?

I know there are now debian packages for snort, but going to
unstable/testing isnt an option ;)


Any responces appreciated.

It's possible that RH installed a deamon like 'tcplogd' and 'icmplogd'
by default or you just enabled that option. These deamons show incomming
connection attempts and icmp requests. 

Both these programs are in the 'iplogger' package.

They do not show refused connections, this, as someone else on this
thread suggested, can be found in the /var/log/auth.log file, or, if you
install a firewall that supports logging events like iptables, you can
have extensive information of incomming events and refused events on
your connection...

Sander.

a filter for tcp socket

2001-09-03 Thread Samu
hello,
this is a work i would like to study but i fall in problem when looking for 
Linux Socket Filtering Documentation.
I want to make a filter that can alterate data on tcp packets following 
some  rules ( e.g. faking icq messages to give you an idea ) and must block 
the original packet (or rewrite it ... aniway it's IMPORTANT the original
packet can't arrive to destination) .
this filter has to run on a machine in which traffic pass through 
( e.g. a linux gw on a LAN ) .
the only way i find to do that ( attach a program that filter sockets) 
is through Linux Socket Filtering but it seem not to be any docs about that.
is there someone who has links to docs, examples or can suggest me another way
to do that ? 

thanks
Samuele

Re: Is ident secure?

2001-09-03 Thread Sunny Dubey
slightly off topic ... but identd is pretty insecure ...

directly copied from the nmap man page 

  As  noted
  by Dave Goldsmith in a 1996 Bugtraq post, the ident
  protocol (rfc 1413) allows for  the  disclosure  of
  the  username  that  owns any process connected via
  TCP, even if that process didn't initiate the  conĀ­
  nection.  So  you  can, for example, connect to the
  http port and then use identd to find  out  whether
  the  server  is  running  as root. This can only be
  done with a full TCP connection to the target  port
  (i.e.  the  -sT scanning option).  When -I is used,
  the remote host's identd is queried for  each  open
  port  found.  Obviously this won't work if the host
  is not running identd.

for some odd reason, I've noticed that when I tell oidentd to bind itself to 
port 113, it seem prevent this "problem".  (Amazingly its still works for 
legit identd requests)  Identd is pretty crappy, however major IRC networks 
like EFnet will require because less abuse comes from clients with identd.  
(unless you get lucky and run into an open I:Line server that doesn't need 
identd.)

Sendmail patches in work?

Hi,

I wonder whether a sendmail security patch (input validation

It is reported that a working exploit is available on the net.
So I consider to get an updated version from sendmail.org, if
a debian package will not be available in the near future.

Thanks, Thomas
