Firestarter is long-dead and likely doesn't support recent kernels.  I

Re: Constant Guard Service Alert

2014-09-06 Thread Mark Bidewell
Interesting, I got an alert at 6:33PM.  My PCs are OSX, Linux Mint and
SolydXK with assorted VMs.  I'm scanning, but I wonder if there is a
malfunction as the bot detected was Windows related.  Go to:
https://amibotted.comcast.net/.  My output reads:



Bot Notes:

Threat behaviors:  Downloads rootkits and steals sensitive information.
Threat type (intent):Information Stealer (Information Theft & Sublease
tool).
Alternate names: W32.Rootkit /W32.Alureon/
W32.Renos/W32.TDSS/W32.DNSChanger
Threat behavior description:
The TDL/TDSS Gang (aka., Tyler Durden Loader). The TDL rootkit is a Master
Boot Record (MBR) infector, targeting Microsoft Windows systems. The latest
TDL rootkit is currently Version 4, and utilizes MBR hooking, a process
that deceives a user by appearing to have been initially deleted. Upon a
system restart, the rootkit/trojan is re-installed. This provides the
remote attacker highly persistent backdoors into victim systems. Public
research estimates the TDL/TDSS group to have been in operation since
mid-2008.

Observed traits:
The TDL/TDSS rootkit has been observed spreading via spam and phishing
e-mails. The observed stages of infection are as follows:

Infect a victim (Stage 1) via spam, drive-by-downloads, and malicious
attachments.Wait idle until the Stage 2 Trojan is ready for download.
Load a rootkit Trojan (Stage 2).
Alter the system to obfuscate Stage 1 and 2 infections (Stage 3).
Infect other sites, allowing third-party access to sensitive information.

Capabilities:
After an initial infection, the Stage 2 rootkit is normally loaded via a
fast-flux worm. Once the infection has passed to Stage 3, various other
threats (such as ZeusBot, Buzus, RogueAV, PoisonIvy, etc.) may be installed
and utilized by criminal operators. The authors behind the RudeWarlockMob
are members of a professional criminal organization that also offers
affiliate funding to anonymous distribution providers, infection operators,
and other criminals.

Re: dns/dhcp client - hooks??

2014-01-21 Thread Mark Bidewell
I think this may be an issue with the Fedora build of dhclient.  I can
successfully update DNS with dhclient on CentOS6 or Ubuntu, but not Fedora.

Fedup Failure

2013-12-17 Thread Mark Bidewell
I tried upgrading from Fedora 19 to 20.  When the System Upgrade task
starts I get a failure around /run/initramfs (it moves fast).  Then it
boots back to Fedora 19.  Any thoughts on how to debug?

Re: Systemd Freezing on NetworkManager or Display Manager

2013-11-08 Thread Mark Bidewell
For some reason it never registered that the "OK" is on the left now.
 There is an "OK" after network manager, but the behavior seems different
after the latest updates.  I wonder if its a GDM vs KDM issue.  KDM seems
to start earlier in the boot process than GDM.  GDM does seem more reliable.

I will double check the status, but I don't believe one is printed.  I
checked /var/log/messages  And the is a message about being on IPv6 set 4
of 5.  but ip addr show lists both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Systemd Freezing on NetworkManager or Display Manager

2013-11-08 Thread Mark Bidewell
I am using Fedora 19 on older hardware, and about half the time systemd
freezes on boot.  Typically the console messaging is pointing at Network
Manager but occasionally kdm or gdm.  I can switch to another console and
log in and network is up and I can enter X.

Any ideas how to debug this?

Thanks
