I don't mind hosting. However I will remove something required for the program to operate, just so that I won't be hosting something evil. PM, or e-mail me if your interested.

Hi All,

This is definitely becoming an interesting thread and I've got a bit more to contribute after an interesting email today.

I received an email that was purportedly from zywall and asked me to fill out a 'customer survey'. It smelled like BS to me, and using the wonderful pine email client, I quickly saw that it was.

I would have been redirected to some website that, undoubtedly, would have fscked around with some aspect of my set-up.

Unfortunately, I managed to accidently delete the email. Did anybody else receive something similar and how did they know I use a zywall router/firewall (lucky guess?).

Also, I noticed a post that mentioned port knocking. I've heard of this before, but am not sure what it is nor how to set it up. Care to explain it to me and point me to any useful how-tos in the event that I'm interested?

If I receive another email like it (and I probably will), I'll be sure to save it this time and even do a wget on the url I'm directed to, post the html code, etc.

Best,

Alex

How could I turn that down. We have very similar signatures. :) I'll email it to you tomorrow..

So you got a test user without a password right? Does ssh permit users with empty password? It should not, I have
PermitEmptyPasswords no in my sshd_config, I don't if I put it there myself or if this is default behavior.

Did you have username: test and passwd: test maybe ? :p

Later

I notcied that I was getting about 5 of these crack attempts a day, so I set up a simple firewall to see if I could try to keep some of this stuff away. I made a script that uses iptables with anti portscan and anti os-fingerprinting stuff in it. I know that it is impossible to stop all port scans and all os fingerprinting attempts, but I can try. Now that I run this firewall I haven't gotten any of these crack attempts against my machine. The attempts on my machine had been going on for about a month, and now they have stopped. I am putting this script on other linux boxes that are getting hit to see if this stops the attempts on them as well.

Could someone help me figure out where my /var/log/sshd information is?

I have other entries in /var/log/, but I have no ssh-related files or directories. ps shows:

/usr/sbin/syslogd -m 0

...running. Do I need to specifically enable sshd logging somewhere? Many thanks, great thread!

Don't mind sharing it. Its not as secure as it could be though. I am putting this firewall on several machines that have different access needs, so instead of blocking everything and opening up the necessary ports, I just blocked certain types of traffic. I also didn't add logging support, but logging isn't too difficult to add. The bad flags section, and the os figerprinting section are what seems to have done the trick. Here it is.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

#Define the location of the IPTABLES executable

Aug  2 23:29:26 <myhost> sshd[2238]: User guest not allowed because shell /dev/null is not executable

Me too until I've locked down my iptables config. Now I have restricted the SSH port (22) to only the 2 IP addresses that I will connect from.

hi guys!
this tread is really interesting to open my eyes about security.
looking in these forums you can found nice tip that how make your boxes a little more safe.

-port knocking hide your ports to regular port scanners, only revealing when a special portscan sequency is send.

-keychain, you need bring your key with you, not so handy, do not use in untrusted machine.(look at ibm developerworks drobbins article )

-skey, the one way password, just work one time, perfect for login form untrusted machines.

-edit your sshd_config, disallow passwordless logins, root logins, and if possible allow login only for one user or group.

-if you ssh from work/school tha haven't a static ip, create a dinamic dns account (no-ip, dyndns) for your office box and only allow logins from that address, like "myoffice.homeip.net", me_at_school.homeip.net"

-use a nice root tail to watch what's happen closely

-install something like chkrootkit, integrit, snort, configure once and run forever, no excuses.

Just to clarify for anyone else who reads the filename too quickly, you need to edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file as stated (and not /etc/ssh/ssh_config like I have just spent the past few minutes playing with, and getting strange ssh, client, errors!)

[edit: /etc/ssh/sshd_config - d'oh]

I think it would be interesting to set up a honeypot for this lame attack. It looks like the poeple that are trying this have no idea what they are doing... It would be fun to screw round with them. Of course this would take time to set up a honeypot... SELinux Joy!

would it be more secure without SSH installed?

Damn it, I have to install iptables and chrootkit tonight right away.

There in no security vulnerability here... Only if you are a retarded and have a user named test with the password test. Don't go though the trouble, unless...

I may be going to write a port knocking client / server in Perl, if some are interested i will post it.

My main concern is to secure my parent's gentoo routing box, currently it has all ports stealth (excepted some p2p ports) and i want to write something to knock the ssh port from my home.

shorewall looks good enough for me, quite nice documentation too. I am reading it.

I have a small iptables script which I think works very well.

And another sshd_config tip is to "PermitRootLogin no".

And while we are on the subject I recommand using ssh pubkeys.
I use ssh-keygen and generate a key and upload it to the server as I described in this article http://paul.kde.no/modules/articles/article.php?id=5
and btw I got a tip that I should use DSA instead of rsa as I wrote in that article, I'll change it when I get some spare time.
Alternative, net-misc/keychain is worth looking into.

I also use /etc/hosts.allow to permit ssh access only to the IP's listed.
Create the file /etc/hosts.allow and add :
sshd : localhost : allow
sshd : someip : allow
sshd : workip : allow
sshd : ALL : deny

From debian's hosts.allow :
Code:

# /etc/hosts.allow: list of hosts that are allowed to access the system.
#                   See the manual pages hosts_access(5), hosts_options(5)
#                   and /usr/doc/netbase/portmapper.txt.gz
#
# Example:    ALL: LOCAL @some_netgroup
#             ALL: .foobar.edu EXCEPT terminalserver.foobar.edu
#
# If you're going to protect the portmapper use the name "portmap" for the
# daemon name. Remember that you can only use the keyword "ALL" and IP
# addresses (NOT host or domain names) for the portmapper. See portmap(8)
# and /usr/doc/portmap/portmapper.txt.gz for further information.



My iptables script :
Code:

#eth0=lokal
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

/sbin/iptables -F
/sbin/iptables -X
/sbin/iptables -t nat -F
/sbin/iptables -N FILTER
/sbin/iptables -N LOKAL
/sbin/iptables -P INPUT DROP
#/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p udp -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j QUEUE

Hi all,

I've seen a lot of those breakin-attempts but I don't care that much about it.

I allow just one user to ssh from one certain ip.

I hope this is enough to protect my computer from ssh-breakins.

cu tu

Suggestions wellcome!
