fusebox is accepting some kind of wierd input as an id. At first I
figured  it was html encoded, but it doesn't decode to anything
intelligible.  is  %27%28%20%3F%5EZ%28%2DN%2BP%20%20%0A any where in
the id column in any tables that fusebox uses?

RE: [nlug] Anyone know what these httpd log messages might mean?

2010-05-07 Thread Mark J. Bailey
Not sure Chris, but, someone may have somehow detected (or guessed
blindly) that you have Coldfusion and is just hitting you with random
things trying to incur a buffer overflow or the like to penetrate the
system.  I see similar crap like this in my httpd log and I don't do
anything fancy but apache html/http.  To me, it appears as part of some
hack-in script trying all sorts of things to break in.  Since you have
Coldfusion, then it ACKed the request (which might expose its presence too
if they are paying attention).  They may be pouring it on at that point.
Just a stab at a guess on short notice.

It's an automated hack utilizing a buffer overflow or something.
Unless you have something installed that responds to WEBSRQ02Image
(probably some sort of plugin for fusebox) you can safely ignore it.
Or grab it and send back a colorful response.

That's a good point about fail2ban. We actually use that on one of our other
servers.  I've asked Curt to look into installing it on this server, as
well.  It might not fix this issue, but it certainly wouldn't be a bad idea
to run on this web server.

RE: [nlug] Anyone know what these httpd log messages might mean?

2010-05-07 Thread Mark J. Bailey
It is mind numbing to scan logs like httpd logs and see the crap your web
server is hammered with constantly.  I have been meaning to do some
traffic analysis on all httpd traffic to mine to get an idea of how much
bandwidth (not to mention CPU resources) is being taken up by this
garbage.  This has jogged me to get back to looking at fail2ban too.  

 

I meant to ask if you guys at Watkins were heavily affected by flooding.
I thought about you guys when I heard Metro Center had been affected.

That's a good point about fail2ban. We actually use that on one of our
other servers.  I've asked Curt to look into installing it on this server,
as well.  It might not fix this issue, but it certainly wouldn't be a bad
idea to run on this web server.

I don't know about this particular type of request, but fail2ban
(http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) does some apache log
scanning and will block IPs under certain criteria to limit attempts like
this.  I don't use it here but a customer in east Tennessee does and has
been pleased with it.  I have been considering it myself but just have not
had time yet to really dig on it.

I been getting the following messages in my Logwatch emails for a few
weeks, now.

 

These started after I took this RHEL 4 server and did a physical to
virtual migration over to VMware.  I then upgraded it to CentOS 4, since
the RHEL subscription ran out.

 

This server primarily runs as a web server, using Coldfusion to tap into
an Oracle database to display data on the web pages.  The system seems to
be working.  I just get a VERY long Logwatch email every day with these
errors.  I'm including just a short bit, below.

 

From what I've been able to discern, these 200 responses may just be OK
messages to indicate that responses were received.  If things are OK,
then why is it included in Logwatch (which usually just alerts you when
something has gone wrong?)
