I'll be taking the system offline for a reboot first thing tomorrow morning. 
I expect the system to be down 5 minutes tops. We are installing a new 
security-patched kernel onto the system. (Don't start about using kernel 
modules and how we wouldn't have to reboot. We do use kernel modules.. just 
not for important shit like security measures )

I'm acutally working on setting up another system for this very purpose. I

looks like it ain't a valid swap partition anymore (which is why the

Have the correct font paths in XftConfig? how about XF86Config? if so, should

you're input would be extremely valuable to me as I tend to forget about

Subject: [COLUG] LSB 1.0 -- Laboring mightly to yield ... a mouse
Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2001 22:16:58 -0400 (EDT)
From: hunter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: COLUG list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

There was mention of the .DEB and .RPM packaging tool formats at
the meeting last week.  The LSB has just issued its Spec. 1.00
for comment, and come up with a solution that will be acceptable
to NEITHER the Debian folks, NOR the Red Hat-ites.

See:  http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/gLSB/gLSB/swinstall.html

Which proposes to use a 3 year old variant of the RPM --
ABSENT some of its features --

Even MORE curiously, "Packages may not depend on the order in
which scripts are executed (pre-install, pre-uninstall, &c),
when doing an upgrade."

... that is -- intelligent dependency walkthroughs appear to be
prohibited.  Apt is largely there in -stable; and current RPM
has been moving this way, having it working in 'up2date' with
an XML backend for 8 months.

- 

No mention at all of .DEB <---> .RPM conversion by 'alien', nor
template of permitted transforms to psermit use of the standard
as a reference for .DEB users.  Reviewing the last two month's
meeting attendees, no Debian representative was evident.

http://www.linuxbase.org/talks/mindex.html

- -

In a seeming slap at Red Hat, rather than referencing the stable
(and referrence)  www.rpm.org site for the online text of the
Maximum RPM text (which is incorporated in part by reference),
they choose a secondaary source 'fan site' without redundancy.

- -

To offend the Slackware folk, it appears to require SysV
initscripts:

   http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/gLSB/gLSB/initsrcinstrm.html

- --

Humorously, the first mentioned secondary source is BSD Lite:

http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/gLSB/gLSB/rimplementations.html

- --

I am underwhelmed and disappointed ... Extension and Growth path
for changing times -- particularly with the glibc / gcc of late
- -- seems not to have been considered.

- -

By choosing to release a document not relevant to current
Linux development and practice, the LSB may have succeeded in
answering the question "Who needs the LSB standard?" with: "Not
the Linux communities."

I did the same thing on most of the boxes I admin (But I went for rpm 4.x). I 
created /usr/src/packages as a dir, then made /usr/src/redhat and 
/usr/src/OpenLinux symlinks to that dir... I've yet to find and rpm that 
doesn't like the setup..

are you sure it's all there? missing symlink would lead me to believe their 
might also be missing libs... I found a lib on Caldera (forget which one) 
which only had the static version. worked fine until I tried compiling 
something which needed the dynamic version.

Personally, I'd install zlib from source. it's like 2 commands..

true. however, consider that this is really:
1. find mkisofs source
2. download source
3. install source
4. insert cd
5. mount cd
6. run mkisofs
7. umount cd
8. eject cd

whereas mine is:
1. insert cd
2. dd
3. eject cd

but in all fairness mkisofs does things that dd can't do... hybrid cds come 
to mind...

I just noticed that on SuSE, swap is mounted w/ a priority of 42. I know that 
if you don't specify a priority it gets a priority of '-1'.
I understand what the swap priority is for (man 2 swapon), but why set it to 
42? Is that better than -1? Or is it just a Douglas Adams reference?

DATE CHANGE SEPT 9TH

We are checking with SUN and
other vendors to confirm the
following tip that was sent
in. We wanted to pass it on
so those that may be affected
could plan for the change:

- -

The unix time() value becomes
10 digits for the first time on
Sun Sep  9 01:46:40 2001

For the first time in modern
computer history, the timestamp
will be something besides 9 digits.
That could break things.

Announcing Fuzzy Linux 0.5!
===

I just finished an ISO of Fuzzy Linux, my ickle business card sized linux
 distro build from LFS. The ISO is available for critique at
http://fuzzy.morphidian.com. This server is quite slow, if anyone wants to
mirror it please feel free :) It's designed to fit on a business card sized
 CDR, to put in your wallet or whatever, and consequently is limited to 40mb
 (which I've filled :)

I'm quite proud of it (for a first attempt). It has a web browser (lynx) and
 an IRC client (BitchX). It tries to use DHCP on boot to grab your IP
 address, but has documentation for setting up your networking settings if
 that fails manually. It automagically detects your network card through the
 crappy script /etc/init.d/netdet (which I wrote and others are free to steal
 :)

There are a few issues I have that I intend to fiz before the next release:
1. No PCMCIA support (I didn't know how to do it then :)
2. It's compiled to i686 (damn uname), this will be changed to i386
3. Theres not enough stuff on it. I'll look into the linuxcare BBC to see
how they implemented their CD and copy their method.
4. It needs to be 'weeded'. There are quite a few files in there that
 arent needed, so I'd like to remove everything (like gcc, there are no
 includes, so this isnt needed :)

Any comments you have would be greatly appreciated, however scathing, so I
 can improve it. If anyone has any questions about how anything is done,
 please ask me.

Many thanks to Bryan Dumm for help with the bootscripts.

I finally landed a new job and have been really busy this week. I just got

sendmail.cf uses blackholes.mail-abuse.org for it's DNS spam blocking. Should 
I swith that to or.orbl.org? What have you guys done about it? 
Please don't chime in w/ "you shouldn't do that. it censorship" or any of

/dev/hda had to be converted back from ext3 to ext2 so that:
parted was used to shrink /dev/hda3. freespace was used to create /dev/hda4 
so that:
data from /dev/hde1 was copied to /dev/hda4.
/dev/hda converted back to ext3

we are now good to go

Fwd: Full analysis of the .ida "Code Red" worm.

2001-07-19 Thread Douglas J. Hunley

e worm will create a loop that performs
18000h single byte send()'s to www.whitehouse.gov.

CODEREF: seg000:0972 WHITEHOUSE_SLEEP_LOOP
After 18000h send()'s the worm will sleep for about 4 and a half hours. It
will then repeat the attack against www.whitehouse.gov (goto step one of
Attack www.whitehouse.gov functionality).


Appendix

This is associated information about the "Code Red" worm including how to
stop the worm, commentary on the worm, and dispelling common misconceptions
about this worm.


How to secure your system from this .ida "Code Red" worm?
-
Microsoft patch for this .ida vulnerability
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/
bulletin/MS01-033.asp
The worm spreads itself to new vulnerable systems via the .ida
vulnerability. Applying this patch will keep your server from being
infected. However, as stated earlier, because of the way the worm creates
its list of "random" IP addresses to attack, you could still be affected by
a high traffic overload denial of service.

eEye Digital Security Advisory for .ida vulnerability
http://www.eeye.com/html/Research/Advisories/AD20010618.html
We initially discovered the .ida vulnerability which is being used by this
worm as its infection vector. The above advisory details our research of
that specific vulnerability. We worked with Microsoft to help them create a
patch for the .ida vulnerability.

SecureIIS - Application firewall, stops known and unknown IIS
vulnerabilities.
http://.eeye.com/secureiis
We do produce a product that protects IIS web servers from attack which is
one of the reasons that we were so quick to research this worm. Funny enough
in our initial testing we couldn't get the worm to work because we forgot we
had SecureIIS enabled on the lab web server. heh.


I have been infected by this worm what can I do?

The first thing you must do is goto the Microsoft security site, as
referenced above, and install the .ida patch ASAP. The worm will remain in
memory until you reboot your server so make sure to reboot after installing
the .ida patch.


I think I am infected, how can I tell?
--

An infected system will show an increase in load (processor/network). It
will also show a number of external connections (or attempts) to port 80 of
random IP addresses. You can see this by doing a "netstat -an" from a MS-DOS
prompt. Either way do not take any chances... if your system is missing the
.ida patch then install it ASAP and reboot.


How to setup your IDS to detect this specific worm?
---
The following is part of the packet data that is sent for this .ida "Code
Red" worm attack:
GET
/default.ida?NNN


N%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%
u7801%u9090%u9090%u8190%u00c3%u0003%u8b00%u531b%u53ff%u0078%u%u00=a
HTTP/1.0
Just add that to your IDS signature database.


What are some common misconceptions about the "Code Red" worm?
--
1. It connects to worm.com.
This worm only specifies www.worm.com in the initial HTTP GET request HOST:
header and in the defaced page show on English (US) systems. This worm does
_not_ connect to www.worm.com. This worm operates completely independent and
can spread and infect systems without having a single point of failure. What
that means is that this worm will be wild on the Internet until there is a
_VERY_ high degree of systems that go and install the .ida patch.

2. This worm is based off of hsj's "proof of concept" .ida exploit.
This worm is _NOT_ based off of hsj's "proof of concept" .ida exploit. His
exploit code had no worm functionality. It was a simple exploit shell that
had little to no implicit functionality. It was designed to prove to
administrators the seriousness of this vulnerability so that they would
install patches ASAP.

>From what i read about the 'Code Red'-worm, it was supposed to be scanning
for IIS-servers. It obviously is'nt, i believe it tries to infect
everything they find on port 80, or something as simple as that.

About three to four days ago, i started to get those default.ida-GET's in
my Apache-logs. I shut down the server as fast as i could, and checked for
outgoing connections from my computer, and then did some research.
I was told that it was an IIS-worm, and that it could'nt affect
Apache-servers, so i was safe. I turned the server back on, and from that
day i have received forty-one attempts.

How can this be? Why am i getting so few attempts, if it is as eEye says
-- that every worm-instance has the same seed?
I should be getting tons and tons of tries, if the worm has been around
for this long. Or is it that my IP is high up in the "sequence", and not
many comes that far? If that is the case, the number should be increasing
fast in the near future, right?

I'll come back with a report in a week or so.

Two more people have asked me the same question today
so I'm going to post the only solution I've found to both
places I've seen complaints.

I figured out how to get rid of the corruption, at least on my
system.  Unfortunately it is at the expense of optimizations.
A added an option to the XF86Config-4 file to turn off acceleration
for the i810 driver and also removed a line from the file that
listed my video ram as 16M when it really is only 4M.  The
relevant section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 follows:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel 810"
Driver "i810"
BoardName "Unknown"
# VideoRam 16384
 Option "NoAccel"   "On"
EndSection

Hope this helps, the driver obviously needs to be debugged, one
or more of the accelerations is doing bad things.

By order of his royal madness King Gerard of Scratch, assisted by the
resident court jester High of Os (Mark ducks and runs from Jesse!) there
will be a new project as part of Linux From Scratch and it will be as
follows;

Beyond Linux From Scratch (BLFS) will be a book, similar to the base LFS
book dealing with various things to do once a system has been LFS'd.

The web site is (at the moment) in a state of not-much-ness but that
will be fixed in the next couple of days.

The CVS tree is available as detailed on the temporary web page and
there is also a nightly HTML build similar to that of the LFS book
itself available.

Of most interest though is the new list [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This list is NOT for general discussion of problems with installing
packages, it's for people interested in working on the book.  Package
discussion should stay on lfs-apps for now

help with C/H/S in BIOS,LILO, and kernel

Remember the other day when I lost hde on linux.nf? I had to shrink /dev/hda3
and split it into hda3 and hda4. All was great...
Or so I thought. It seems that in doing so, the tranlsations for the disk
geometry got messed up somewhere. The drive is a:
Maxtor 53073U6, 29311Mb w/2048Kb cache.

The BIOS is set for 'auto' and report a CHS of 1024/255/63
I use the latest lilo, and use lba32.
The kernel says the drive has a CHS of 3736/255/63

I have to boot lilo with 'hda=1024,255,63' to get the machine to be usable.
a cat of /proc/ide/id0/hda says the physical layout is 16383/16/63

The drive is broken into hda[1-4]

running 'hdparm /dev/hda' gets 'HDIO_GETGEO_BIG failed: Input/output error'

fdisk /dev/hda says
'The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 3736. This could in certain
setups cause problems.'

cfdisk says 3736 cylinders, 255 head, 63 sectors/track
Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 0+ 12721273- 10225341 83 Linux

/dev/hda4 2677+ 37351059- 8505419+ 83 Linux

running parted says:
Warning: The operating system thinks the geometry on /dev/hda is 3736/255/63.
Therefore, cylinder 1024 ends at 8032.499M. You should check that this
