Re: [leaf-user] followup to interfaces / shorewall assist
Seems that I'm jumping in late on this thread, but as I recall on laptops, especially those using PCMCIA cards, card services have to start before the networking drivers are loaded. Otherwise there is no card to bind the driver to. Onboard nics in laptops are handled differently at the bios level. However I could be mistaken in this. Try loading the modules in the reverse order and see if that helps. Just my two penny's worth.

RE: [leaf-user] Using a wireless router with LEAF (Dachstein, Bering)
Since security is a major concern when attached to the Internet, why not make use of the three-interface firewall solution within Bearing/Shorewall and place the wireless access point on that third interface of the firewall within the DMZ? Maybe I'm overlooking a barn-door security breach, but it just seems logical to use your wireless devices on that interface, and routing traffic accordingly. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

[Leaf-user] aol/msn Chat
This may be slightly off topic, but I need to block AOL messaging and MSN chat. I am running ES2B, and need to know what ports to block to make my Boss happy. Too much bandwidth being used up by these people. Any help would be appreciated.
Re: [Leaf-user] New package - Send Page and/or Email when Ports Hit
David, Can these scripts be made to work on Charles' Eigerstein images or is is it just for use with the Oxygen distro? This sounds like something that I'd like to set up on my firewall ES2B, especially with all of the activity that I have seen in the logs lately. Thanks! Danny Carter On Wed, 19 September 2001, David Douthitt wrote: I've packaged a couple of scripts that tie into PortSentry which page me (and send email) every time one tries to connect to a port protected by PortSentry. One sends out a page based on the command line by using an email gateway (you'll have to figure out your own). The other does the work; it sends out the page, as well as formulating a big email with all the details possible about the source IP. This current script will, if the binaries are available, do the following (all against the source IP address): * whois (administrative contacts and IP block owner) * dig (name lookup and name servers) * traceroute (how long? what routers between here and there?) * tcptraceroute (same as traceroute, but uses TCP not ICMP - pierces some firewalls) * ping (how long does it take to get there?) * nmap (what ports do they have open? What are they running?) The last four also help to identify that this is a REAL host active on the network. The nmap option is in the script but not run by default: some sites could classify a nmap probe as hostile behavior (and perhaps illegal behavior). The nmap line is commented out.

Re: [Leaf-user] OT: Securely wiping a hard drive?
Peter, If you really want to wipe a hard drive clean, I would suggest try to find a low-level format routine from the vendor of the hard-drive. Most vendors have them posted on their websites and are self-extracting utilities that create a bootable diskette. From there you should be able to choose a diagnostic format routine, or write all 0's or 1's to test the drive surface. That will clean all of the data off of the drive as well as test the surface for errors, making the drive useable again. Unfortunately, most of these extract under Windows so if you don't have access to a Windows machine then you may not be able to use them.

I'm looking for a utility to securely wipe the contents of an entire hard drive. Norton used to make one long ago that worked to DoD Standards, and I still have a copy, but it is MS-DOS based, and if I remember correctly has limitations on the size of partitions. They no longer make one. I just found one from IBM that works on up to 18GB drives, but it only runs against IBM drives. --- Peter Nosko _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [Leaf-user] Stupid Newbie questions
First off, there are NO stupid questions. What we would like to do is build a box with thre NICs. The first would be for the DSL line and the other two NICs would each service a hub. Is this feasible? Yes I also have the questions: 1: I've never used hubs before, how do you assign IP addresses to each port. Can somebody post a URL(s) for HOW-TOs about this? Hubs are passive devices and do not need to be set for IP addresses. You usually have an uplink port (depending on the make/model), that will be either the highest or lowest numbered port on the hub. 2: When using multiple hubs like this, are these referred to as subnet? Yes, you can have a subnet to each hub, depending on what IP address range that you set for each nic. 3: Is it possible to daisy-chain the hubs? Yes. This was answered in the answer to Number 1 above. 4: What are good brands for inexpensive hubs? What gotchas shouod I watch out for? Also, I'll need to PCI NICs. Recommendations? I use a 3com hub and nics, but there are some very good units available from Linksys also. For the type of nics to use, that depends on your particular setup. Look for nics that have Linux packages available.
