Robert Watson's paper discusses concurrency vulnerabilities. Impact
include policy bypass and audit trail invalidation. A bypass means it
is useless. That pretty much hammered in the last nail on the coffin
for security tools based on system call interposition.

As others have already pointed out these knobs might not be useful to
your setup and your needs. Think also that more complexity you add
then more likely you'll find out bugs lurking in the dark, waiting for
the right moment to bite your ass.
I have a box running FreeBSD with MAC policies configured in
production for a year now; I must be honest, the only thing I'm really
sure about is it's a royal pain to update and manage. Not a great
deal, I'm planning a switch to 4.2.

It isn't about the money, but about the work. What if he was compelled
by nature of his work to devote his time to "Products" than building a
generic world class operating system? And, what if he was so involved
in his work that he'd have no time to work on OpenBSD? And, if they
liked OpenBSD, you think they wouldn't ask Theo to implement any one
particular thing at all?

Not that I don't want him to, but working in Google and not makes a
difference.  Like Martin said, if Google required a good OS, they'd
simply donate to OpenBSD and eventually pick it up when it meets their
needs. And this isn't quite the same.

Thanks for the idea but unfortunately it doesn't help.
Take three USB disks, plug them in and then tell me
how to put the right label on the right physical disk?

It would work of course if our "restore" procedure went:

for each backup disk available
  Plug in the disk and check the lable to see if it's the right one
  if it is the right one
Restore from the disk
end
  fi
end

I suspect this would get a bit tedious..

Even though I haven't created any patches for OpenBSD yet, I like to
have the possibility to hack on the system. I have also experienced
situations, where I simply thought "Hmm, how do they do that?" and it
was nice to just open the source code directly from my hard drive in my
favourite editor.

I don't run -current on servers or other critical boxes. This is my
laptop -- my development box. It's not important to me that it works all
the time.

I was also unsure.  I installed with Sept 24 snapshot and upgraded to
current.  I could not find xenocara source tarball so it took some
time.   I then built everything (with xenocara) and then a release. 
All install sets were built.  However, my machine does not actually use
X so no testing has been done with actual usage of those sources/sets.

You're asking the right questions. Some of the answers, unfortunately,
aren't as cut and dry as one might hope at first, and this stems from
the fact that some security measures are sometimes subjective. What
one person might see as a good hardening measure might be considered
completely useless to another person. Ultimately it comes down to
whether you feel a hardening measure makes sense for the gap you're
trying to cover in your circumstance.

OpenBSD goes a very long way toward providing a very hardened Unix
system out of the box, without you having to flip a set of switches to
turn them on. You can see them everywhere. Run a web server using the
included httpd and you'll have the benefit of chroot'd operation. Run
the in-tree BIND as a nameserver and you'll find that it employs a
number of security improvements out of the box which make it a safer
system. This kind of stuff exists everywhere in the system and they
are examples of real, practical, and effective things which a.) do
improve security of a system against known threats, and b.) don't
required complicated decisions by the admin to kludge them into place
(a la some of the policy wrappers that exist out there.)

Figure out your threat profile for your anticipated use, figure out
from that how those threats will impact the services you intend to
run, and address those with controls you feel you can put in place
that can mitigate those threats. External controls might help, like
firewall or IDS/IPS, and don't forget  you can use PF locally. See if
you think a file integrity checker makes sense. Don't run things as
root that don't need to. See if you can help things out with policy
and technical enforcement to back it up (like if you have shell users,
and you're afraid they'll choose weak passwords, configure SSH to only
support key-based authentication and make that your authentication
policy. ...and so on.

I'm kind of curious.  Google does have a history of employing people
simply give them a paycheck.  And weren't they one of the ones who

samba are both employed at Google.  From an independence point of

You should probably do a Google search on systrace before continuing

Otherwise, I seem to recall a repository of configurations called 'hairy

can be pretty useful, too.

I hope i'm not out of line changing the thread but this seemed like a 
good place to ask this question.


   I'm fairly new to OpenBSD and have set up a few machines, nothing 
production, trying out configurations, rebuilding, patching etc. before 
i felt comfortable putting one in production.  One thing I did read up 
on, where i could find it, was hardening beyond the default install. 
   Two of the tools that most of the hardening articles i found, 
Securelevels and systrace, (the third one seems to be common sense), 
have now seemingly been rendered useless.  I followed the huge thread on 
"why can't openbsd's securelevels be saved" and now this thread has 
alerted me to the fact that systrace is able to be circumvented.  I also 
noticed that Joachim commented on both so I figured this for a good 
place for this topic.
   I'm wondering if there are other tools/ways besides these that I 
just haven't heard of to do similar things(hardening of the system) or 
if there is in effect no way to do the things that, these two tools, 
specifically systrace has historically handled(is there really a need in 
the first place?).  I say specifically systrace because from the 
discussions i've been reading, the whole securelevel methodology, to the 
people that do the work on OpenBSD,  is flawed.  I'm not here to dispute 
or even to discuss that point, as currently I can't program (nor afford 
to hire people that can) so my likes and dislikes are moot.
   Like i say, i'm still relatively new to OpenBSD so I'm just looking 
for insight, I haven't used systrace in the past, and until about a week 
ago was working with securelevels but then found the aforementioned 
article.  I had abandoned the securelevel method in light of the 
'issue'(s)/false sense of security with securelevels and from the 
discussion had decided to pick up with systrace, until i saw this thread 
yesterday.
   Is it more common than not, to not worry as much about "hardening" 
the OS, via these methods, but rather just to make 'hopefully' wise 
decisions, install the least amount of software as you need, physical 
separations(i.e. logging to remote server instead of sappnd'ing your 
logs)(but what happens when after getting root on the system producing 
logs, the attacker proceeds to work towards your logging server?) and 
stay current w/at least the stable branch?
   I guess with all the hoopla about 'hardening'/trusted this and 
that/fuzzy knobs(i.e. SE Linux) i got a little overzealous looking for 
ways to tweak things (which i know can end up either making things less 
secure (especially with false sense of security) or just plain breaking 
them), but if there is/are acceptable, ways, I'd at least like to be 
aware of them and the scope of their use from the people that know

"host is a simple utility for performing DNS lookups."

reading entries out of /etc/hosts is not performing DNS lookups.



My apologies

Hello everyone,

I wanted to apologize for the email I sent out to your entire mailing list

mistake in sending it to your entire group.  I do take this matter seriously
and I promise that this will not happen again.

Re: OpenBSD on ESX - Networking experiences

2007-10-14 Thread Christian Plattner

Just for the record:

I upgraded to ESX 3.0.2 and...

1.) So far, I did not observe any stalls on the emulated e1000 (em)
interfaces. Currently I am playing with the vmxnet driver as well.

2.) VGT mode seems to work correct, very short ethernet frames (i.e.,
ICMP ping packets produced by windows XP machines routed over a virtual
OpenBSD 4.1 firewall with interfaces in VGT mode) are not dropped
anymore.

Thanks for all the feedback.



OpenCON 2007 Registration is Open

2007-10-14 Thread Marc Balmer

OpenCON, the only conference dedicated to OpenBSD only, just
opened it's virtual doors for the fourth time.

The registration is now open.  http://www.opencon.org/

OpenCON is a free entrance event; get the latest informations
on PF, how to use VPN technologies in OpenBSD, or how make
your own ports for free.

There are carefully prepared tutorials by OpenBSD developers
and long time OpenBSD professionals.

On the two days following the tutorial days, listen to
presentations by OpenBSD developers and users, and
generally enjoy a few nice days in Venice, talking to other
OpenBSD afficionados.

Attendance is completely free, there is, however, a small charge
for food during the conference; and let me point out to the
2^3 OpenSSH birthday party on Saturday.  We will celebrate the
birthday of OpenSSH in a nice place in Venice.  The fee will be
small, the fun factor will be enormous.

If you can make it, join us in Venice (airport code: VCE)

Marc Balmer

PS: Last year we had people joining the conference from Australia,
Canada, Switzerland, Lebanon, Germany, Gibraltar, ...

PPS: If you are a company (or even an individual) that wants to
sponsor this event, please contact me, there are a lot of very
interesting possibilities to do so.

I wrote: " I tried both with wd0d, wd1d (both exist) and with wd1d,wd3d
(latter doesn't physically exist), none of these is mounted or in use, in
fact nothing of wd1 is currently used."

thats because there are tutorials on the web which create a degraded
raid forcefully with one missing component. I gave this a shot. I also
tried with wd0d, wd1d, which both exist and were not in use.

OpenCON 2007, There is Wiki to coordinate travel

2007-10-14 Thread Marc Balmer

Hi

There has been some discussion recently about how to tavel to Venice
or about sharing rooms at OpenCON here on this list.

To simplify things, we have put online a Wiki at the following URL:
http://wiki.opencon.org/doku.php (it also linked on www.opencon.org).

The event is free, but nevertheless there are costs involved with it.
So we are still looking for Sponsors and individual contributions
through paypal to the account [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Fabio Cazzin) are also
very welcome.

See you all in Venice!

I have a problem with that site.

According to Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jew_watch ):
"Many, including the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, have
categorized it as an antisemitic hate site.[1]" and:
"The website is owned and maintained by Frank Weltner of St. Louis,
Missouri. Weltner is a member of the National Alliance, a white
nationalist and white separatist organization. [2][3]"

Listen mate:
I'm German. Many of my immediate family were Nazi true believers
during the Nazi era. My grand-uncle was in the Waffen SS, in the
battalion that later did the massacre in Oradour-sur-Glane (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oradour-sur-Glane ). My grandfather
pioneered the establishment of the Hitler Youth chapter in his local
area and later worked in the F|hrerhauptquartier. While my grandfather
changed his views after the war, my grand-uncle never reformed.

And let me tell you:

That "Jew Watch" website is complete and utter shite. These paranoid
eejits have it all backwards. These gobshites don't fucking know what
they're talking about and are fucking deluded. Take it from somebody
who knows because his own family learnt the hard way: Whatever
insights the nincompoop knackers running that site believe they have,
at the end of the day it all amounts to pure and unadulterated horse
puckey bullshit. So some of the people working in the IT industry are
Jewish. Yes? And your point is? That they're somehow doing bad things
professionally because of their religion and/or family background?

Get a fucking clue.

In posting that link, you, Craig Skinner, have either spectacularly
failed at an attempt of tasteless humour, or you are a sewer-headed
bell-end with less sense than a pygmy marmoset in a persistive
vegetative state. The rest of your email, wherein you even appear to
be asking for Jews to be slaughtered, makes it abundantly clear which
of the two it is.

Sure, I still believe freedom of speech is supremely important. That
does not however make you any less of a shitehawk.

If you as much as dare to touch one of my Jewish fellow humans, know
that people like me will be there to oppose you and your aggression .
