- google for a beginners guide how to use Wireshark and read !!!
- Install Wireshark on your client PC where you fill the form
(available for Linux and Windows).
- Start Wireshark, select the proper interface and start capture.
- Fill out your form on your web client and send it to the webserver
- Stop capturing on Wireshark and
- look/search for the packages who carry the information and see

Wireshark is able to decode a lot of protocols ...

- tcpdump is a online tool how capture and display the packages. But
you should only use it if you understand what you do.
- tcpdump can write all necessary packages in a file and later, you
can read and decode it with Wireshark.
If you want use tcpdump, you can do this on (web) server and/or web client, eg.:
tcpdump -i any -s0 -w /tmp/mycapturefile.pcap or
tcpdump port 80 -i any -s0 -w /tmp/mycapturefile.pcap # with filter

Please read the manual before you asking next!

The Question is, what you mean with "view the captured content".

* So if there are e.g. images in the captured http or ftp, or ...
stream and you like to see them, then NetworkMiner
"http://www.netresec.com/?page=NetworkMiner"; is doing this job without
any knowledge about the protocols ..

* Content can also be crypted username/password ... e.g. in radius or
https/ssl. Then is "Wireshark" your friend.
Wireshark is able to decrypt this, if you have the private key or
shared secret ...

Content is all the payload on a network. But there are so many
different kinds, there is no single tool to "display the content"
So explain what you want to do exactly, but don't let us guess ;-)

kindly regards

Meike

What u mean is a "Network Forensic Analysis Tool" (NFAT).
You can capture with tcpdump or other similar tool (tshark, ...) in a
file and analyze this file later.

Don't forget the -s0 switch while using tcpdump or u are going to miss

Re: let logrotate create an new empty file?

Yes I did this, and changed the rights to the user from the script:
mkdir /var/log/script
chown script.root /var/log/script
chmod 640 /var/log/script

But logrotate "complains":
=
~# logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/script
reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/script
reading config info for /var/log/script/script.log

Handling 1 logs

rotating pattern: /var/log/script/escript.log
 10485760 bytes (99 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/script/script.log
error: "/var/log/script" has insecure permissions. It must be owned and be
writable by root only to avoid security problems. Set the "su" directive in
the config file to tell logrotate which user/group should be used for rotation.

error: stat of /var/log/script/script.log failed: No such file or directory
==

My goal was NOT create the logfile on my own (as root).
so now, the only ("true") solution is to create the file  an change
the rights to user "script".

Logrotate is an great tool, but I thought it also can create the file
(instead of user who mostly has not sufficient rights), because
logrotate runs (ever) as root.
Would be a nice feature for an "comprehensive carefree package"of logrotate.

Yes, this works, but I don't want to create this with an extra command,
because the application (script) delivers the own crontab (/etc/cron.d/ and
own logrotate (etc/logrotate.d) file.
I thought this is enough and that logrotate is going to create the logfile with
the right permissions.

So maybe I overlook something in the configuration from logrotate?
If it is not possible, so I have to use "install" or "touch,chmod/chown" ...

let logrotate create an new empty file?

2012-09-19 Thread Meike Stone
Hello dear list,

I've a problem with creation of a logfile in /var/log.

I have running a cronjob with a script, that should log in a file
under /var/log/. (using logger is not possible) The script is running
under a normal user.
Logrotate should care for filesize and pack them.

My Problem is, that the script is not allowed (because of insufficient
rights) to create a logfile under /var/log on it own.

So I thought, that logrotate can do this for me and set the
permissions that the user can write (statement: create 644 user root).
But thats wrong.

Logrotate creates only an empty file if it rotated the file before.
Also using the option "nomissingok" does not work, because it only
throws (as the man says) an error message (instead of create the file).

Also to use a logrotate script ("prerotate" or  "firstaction") like:
   /bin/touch /var/log/script.log
   /bin/chown user.root /var/log/script.log
   /bin/chmod 640 /var/log/script.log

 is not possible, because the actions are only executed if the
conditions are fulfilled for rotation..

So anyone has an idea to create the logfile?

Many thanks in advance

Meike

need kernel update for lenny ..

2012-08-29 Thread Meike Stone
Hello dear list,

I've running an Debian Lenny and can't upgrade to Squeeze for the
moment because of special software ...

Now the Server crashed two times.
The error message is every time (taken from the console):

"Filesystem "dm-2": XFS internal error xfs_trans_cancel at line 1163
of fs/xfs/xfs_trans.c Caller 0xf8s8656d
Filesystem "dm-2": Corruption of in-memory data dedected. Shutting
down filesystem: dm-2
Please umount the filesystem, and rectify the problem(s)"

The Partition "dm-2" is mounted to /var, so I don't have more
information from the syslog or dmsg ..

On the server is running a Webserver, a (r)syslogd and mysql database.
Nightly, filtered logfiles
from rsyslogd are imported to the database. This is located on the
/var-Partition too.

In the Internet I found similar problems here:
[1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=512779

and here:
[2] http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2011-07/msg00473.html

In the second link, someone told that the problem may solved in the
kernel 2.6.30.

I tried to upgrade to the latest kernel via:

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-archive/debian/ lenny main
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-archive/debian/ lenny main

and

aptitude update
aptitude safe-upgrade

but I had no luck, nothing to upgrade.

The Server is going to migrate to new software (and Debian) in three
month, but until then i need a stable system.

So does anyone has an idea how to solve the problem?

Thanks Meike

from the manual page of pvcreate:

"pvcreate initializes PhysicalVolume for later use by the Logical
Volume Manager (LVM). Each PhysicalVolume can be a disk partition,
whole disk, meta device, or loopback file. For DOS disk partitions,
the partition id should be set to 0x8e using fdisk(8), cfdisk(8), or a
equivalent. For whole disk devices only the partition table must be
erased, which will effectively destroy all data on that disk."

So if you use a whole disk, it must be erased and have no partitions ...
Nothing is wrong

Thanks at all .. thats it!

Sorry, should investigate more time to read.. ftp is blocked by
firewall in our company so I didn't follow the link to FAQ.. :-( .

But I cant believe, that Linux does not support that ...
The tool ss (ss -teoi) from iproute2 can get at least some informations.

But anyway, thanks for help, have nice weekend!
