Email dictionary attacks and firewall
by John Hinton 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

I keep seeing 'Joe Average compromised computer on broadband' being used to do email dictionary attacks on our systems. Seems I always have several domains going through these. One in particular has been in the 'a-' list for weeks with about 20,000 attempts per day from various systems. Yeah, I do have a system which blocks email from these systems for a period of time after 3 bad email address attempts.... throttling... Anyway, this brought to mind.... Joe Average! Joe Average buys a broadband connection, has someone hook up his computer.. talks to tech support about everything and eventually, an AV subscription dies or something and Joe just doesn't care or doesn't know how to deal with that. Meanwhile Joe's computer gets a virus allowing some baddy to start sending email. Joe notices his computer is getting a little slow.. but it's not bad enough to worry about. So, this made me start wondering about how to do something that makes Joe's computer so slow that he finally gives up and calls in tech support to fix the damned thing. I wonder if there is a way that a firewall rule could be written, that would let a trickle of the connection from Joe through, so as his dictionary attack gets backed up with a huge number of connections which are trickling through at such a slow rate, with maybe just enough delay built in to make it keep trying.... Basically making Joe's compromised computer useless.. and maybe he'd at least turn it off if it didn't lock up all by itself.... It is so very sad that some providers don't monitor their own people. I see where comcast has now slid down to number 8 after holding the number one spot as the biggest spammer network for a very long time. Good for them! It seems the undisputed king of this world now is verizonbusiness.com.... bad bad very bad.... Sorry.. yeah.. a bit off topic...... John Hinton

Openswan 2.4.6rc5 under CentOS 4.3
by Bas Rijniersce 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

Hello, I'm trying to get Openswan running in a CentOS 4.3 environment. I want to modify as little as possible so that the machine can be kept up to date easily. I'd rather not compile a special kernel, but if that's the only solution, no problem (I don't need NAT traversal). It's running kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL. Installed the kerneldevel RPM (and kernel src rpm as well). I compiled openswan with: make KERNELSRC=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ module minstall (and same for progs) Module seems to load fine, lsmod shows as loaded. I do get quite a bit of output on the console that I don't know is normal: ---- Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:ipsec_eroute_get_info: buffer=0pc9cce000, *start=0p00000000, offset=61, length=1024 Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:rj_walktree: for: rn=0pcce7a5a8 rj_b=-3 rj_flags=6 leaf key = 00000000->00000000 Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:rj_walktree: processing leaves, rn=0pcfc9c280 rj_b=-1 rj_flags=4 leaf key = 0a010000->0a020000 Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:rj_walktree: while: base=0p00000000 rn=0pcce7a5a8 rj_b=-3 rj_flags=6 leaf key = 00000000->00000000 Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:rj_walktree: for: rn=0pcfc9c280 rj_b=-1 rj_flags=4 leaf key = 0a010000->0a020000 Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:rj_walktree: processing leaves, rn=0pcce7a5d8 rj_b=-3 rj_flags=6 leaf key = ffffffff->ffffffff Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:rj_walktree: while: base=0p00000000 rn=0pcfc9c280 rj_b=-1 rj_flags=4 leaf key = 0a010000->0a020000 Aug 15 12:44:15 INAKFW001 kernel: klips_debug:ipsec_rj_walker_procprint: rn=0pcfc9c280, w0=0pcc83df20 ---- The problem is when I restart the machine, or just restart the service. It panic's :-) Not a good thing for a box that will be hidden in a closet in India :) I video of the crash can be found at: http://www.brijn.nu/openswan_crash.avi (151Kb) This machine is running in VMware at the moment. I have the same problem in a "real" machine (identical setup) Can I build the module as I did, should that work OK? Any other suggestion on what might be wrong? Thank you very much for your time!

Printing problem with CUPS and lp/lpr
by Alfred von Campe 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

I know that printing on Linux is somewhat of an art form, but I have a fairly simple problem. I used the following command to configure a networked printer (HP LaserJet 8150): lpadmin -p name -E -v socket://name -m laserjet.ppd -u allow:all - u deny:none This added and enabled the printer, and I can print to it using the print command from within a GUI application and PostScript utilities like enscript. However, printing simple text files from the command line using lpr or lp produces undesirable output that looks like this: Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 It seems rather obvious that the printer is expecting carriage returns and not getting any. What is the "right" way to fix this using CUPS, which "owns" the /etc/printcap file. I can't be the first one to run into this issue... Thanks, Alfred

Help: Marvell sk98lin driver missing from Centos 3 PXE initrd.img
by Mike Valenzuela 17 Aug '06

17 Aug '06

I'm new to the lists so sorry about any faux pas I may have made. Also I apologize for the length, but I wanted to be sure I covered most of the details. I'm trying to do a PXE install on an Intel 1435VP2 server machine. The PXE install has worked on all the older machines in the cluster, so I know PXE is working. However, these new Intel server machines only support PXE booting from their Marvell NIC (I already tried getting the latest BIOS to avoid this hassle). Since the cluster is running open mosix, Centos 3.7 is which the latest which can be used. The kernel and initrd image in the isolinux directory (on cd or in the repos) has no driver for the Marvell NIC. lspci -n and lspci shows the following information for the Marvell NIC : 02:00.0 Class 0200: 11ab:4361 (rev 17) 02:00.0 Ethernet Controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8050 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 17) I have tried the following: cp /tftpboot/linux-install/initrd.img /tmp/initrd.img.gz cp /tftpboot/linux-install/initrd.img /tftpboot/linux-install/initrd.img.orig cd /tmp gzip -d initrd.img.gz mkdir /tmp/initrd.fs mount -o loop initrd.img initrd.fs gzip -d < /mnt/initrd.fs/modules/modules.cgz | cpio -i --make-directories This makes the folders /tmp/2.4.21-40.ELBOOT/i386/ filled with the drivers in the initrd.img file. Then I grabbed a copy of the vanilla 2.4.21-40, went to Intel's website to grab the driver files I needed (turns out that they were included in the vanilla source, hence a patch file of size 0 was generated), and continued to build the sk98lin driver for i386 (I tried both default settings processor type and i386). The first iteration through all I did was make menuconfig and turn on Marvell as a module, the second time I specified processor type as i386. I grabbed the sk98lin.o file and threw it in /tmp/2.4.21-40.ELBOOT/i386/, where all the other drivers were located. To compress this back into a .cgz file I did the following cd /tmp/ find 2.4.21-40.ELBOOT -print | cpio -o -H crc | gzip -9 > modules.cgz Then I made a copied over the modules.cgz in /tmp/initrd.fs/modules. I edited /tmp/initrd.fs/modules/pcitable adding the line: 0x11ab 0x4361 "sk98lin" "Gigabit Ethernet Controller" (With tabs not spaces) I also added the following line to /tmp/initrd.fs/modules/modules.pcimap sk98lin 0x000011ab 0x00004361 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 After unmounting initrd.fs, I re-gziped initrd.img, and copied over /tftpboot/linux-install/initrd.img However, my problem still remains. When I pxe boot, the machine is detected and everything. Just before getting the kickstart file, it complains "Unable to find any devices of the type needed for this installation type". Obviously I did something wrong, but I don't know why it is still broken or how to fix it. I suspect that somehow I built the the sk98lin module incorrectly. Has anyone already made a fix for this initrd file? I'd appreciate an easy download. Thanks in advanced for any pointers and/or help.

I'm aware of how annoying it is to have someone peering over your shoulder when you are in the middle of a crisis asking questions, but I'm curious what it is that is making johnny's site so vulnerable. Is it forum software? I hope it's not a hack against a package in the base... Anyway, just wondering because I have user's complaining about the fact that I don't have their forum up and running. They may have to wait for a long time. Alex
