Re: [Ilugc] initramfs UBUNTU

2012-05-23 Thread Kingsley G. Morse Jr.
Initramfs means ... initial file system in random
access memory.

It lets your computer boot before its real
file system is mounted.

To fix the problem, maybe you could search Google
for the specific error message.

I hope that helps,
Kingsley

In short, the following are the components of iptables,

- Tables  : filter/nat/mangle/raw--- Each of them have their purpose
- Chains  : INPUT/OUPUT/FORWARD etc. --- Like a network packet state
- Target  : ACCEPT/DROP/LOG/REDIRECT --- The action to perform
- Matches : connlimit/owner/limit--- Modules for packet matching

Now to give an example, one can add a rule saying,

Table:filter->Chain:OUTPUT->Match:owner:dipin->Target:DROP

The above rule will discard all outgoing packets for owner 'dipin', this 
is similar to saying deny network access for user 'dipin'.

iptables is a complex system, there are several chains and several 
extensions for Target and Matches. Trying to know all the features of 
iptables will take time. The better approach would be to sit down and 
come up with a security policy and implement it using iptables.

I dunno about Iptables but in general a firewall rule engine will
 do the following:

1) NAT and PAT and port forwarding for incoming connections
2) Block ports and IP addresses, both from and to , incoming and outgoing
3) More

Now from your standpoint you get the ability to secure your system by
shutting off
 all but the important traffic.

That way you are fairly safe. But with snort you can do better.

That is an IDS and an IPS too.

I have to learn how to use snort...
