Re: [SLUG] www question
There are lots of different attack vectors - in general the more an attacker knows about the system they wish to attack, the more they concentrate their resources. Certainly for outside facing machines it seems to make sense to obscure the server model, but as has already been said, it probably isn't that difficult to use different mechanisms apart from viewing the headers returned from the server. I guess for auditors as well it is an indicator that you are doing something to reduce the attack profile of the system. If you have changed the server headers, then you probably have cleaned up other things like removing unneeded cgi-bins, etc. I reckon at least half of the CIOs out there would probably probably give the game away with a simple seemingly innocuous phone-call - I'm from XYZ Magazine, and we are doing 10 second poll on what platform people are using for their external facing webservers. Are you using Windows or Linux. If Linux are you using SuSE, Redhat or something else? Thank you for your time click (Of course the other half of the CIOs probably don't know what an operating system is :-) As a general answer in my opinion, security by obscurity usually doesn't work out to be much safer in the long run.Regards, MartinOn 7/31/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: G'daymy customer has said:---When you have a minute can you please configure our apache server errorpages to not list the webserver build and operating system as it is a security risk.For example if I go to www.edc.com.au/fred I get the following informationApache/2.0.53 (Linux/SUSE)--- I can conceive if being a slight risk, in that 'don't bother with all thewinders files.Am I naive, is there a risk letting the world know WHAT os and web server yourun?ThanksJames--SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html -- Regards, MartinMartin Visser -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] Postfix configuration help needed
Hi all, I'm trying to configure postfix on a new machine at home to replace an old installation of sendmail on another machine. I want the new machine to be the outgoing mail server for the LAN and to masquerade addresses in my domain, exactly as sendmail is already doing. The mail server for my domain is elsewhere, so this new server should forward all mail for the domain (except those directly addressed to LAN hosts) to the external mail server. I've almost got it, but there's one thing I can't get to work and that's correct handling of mail addressed to root. I want mail to root, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be delivered locally, but [EMAIL PROTECTED] needs to be forwarded to the external mail server. I've only been able to make it forward all variations of root to the external server, or deliver them all locally. I'm using postfix 2.2.4-1ubuntu2.1 on breezy. Here are the relevant bits of my main.cf: append_dot_mydomain = no alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = /etc/mailname mydestination = dropbear.kirriwa.net, localhost.localdomain, localhost, localhost.kirriwa.net relay_domains = kirriwa.net relayhost = mail.internode.on.net mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.42.0/24 virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual masquerade_domains = kirrwa.net masquerade_exceptions = root /etc/mailname contains: kirriwa.net /etc/aliases contains: root: [EMAIL PROTECTED] clamav: root /etc/postfix/virtual contains: root[EMAIL PROTECTED] I've tried with without masquerade_exceptions, with without virtual_alias_maps, but I can't make it do what I want. I either get mail to root delivered externally, or mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] delivered locally. Is there a postfix guru out there who can whack me with the appropriate cluestick? Thanks, John -- Wow. They've got you both coming *and* going, eh mate? Yep. That's why semen is white and urine is yellow. That way, the soccer/football fans can tell whether they're coming or going. -- Mike Andrews -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I have heard that you need Internet Explorer installed within WINE to make the actual submission. Alternatively you can track down a Windows box, install e-tax on it, load up your e-tax files on that and submit it there. -- Mike -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
