Securing Majordomo PDF Print
Sunday, 14 October 2007

Did you know that buy default majordomo will give a list of all the addresses on your mailing list to anyone?

I have written a script that will tidy up majordomo config files as follows...
  • Only shows lists you are subscribed to with the 'lists' command
  • Does not allow anyone to use the 'who' command to get addresses
  • Doesn't allow anyone to use the 'which' command to get addresses

Checking for Rootkits PDF Print
Monday, 21 August 2006

In the same vein my last post, here is page on installing chkrootkit and Rootkit Hunter on CentOS / BlueQuartz. 

A root kit is the name given to a piece of software written to try and elevate someones permissions to root level, commonly used by hackers/crackers/script kiddies to infect a system. There are many rootkit checkers however we are going to install two of the most common which are both are free and open source.  Some people prefer one over the other, I say, why not use both!

Contents

  • Change root passwords
  • Secure SSH
  • Apache Obscurity
  • Install ImageMagick

  • Add Mime Types
  • yum checker
  • Setup floppy drive
  • Majordomo logfile

Raq Site Bandwidth Script PDF Print
Thursday, 30 September 2004

This script is for the Cobalt Raq4 (although I would love to know if it works with the Raq3 too??). It uses the internally generated /home/.cobalt/report/stats.tab file to display the bandwith used by each virtual site on the server even if your virtual sites are on the same IP address. The stats.tab file is generated by the Raq when it splits the log files up for each site. A total is kept for Web, FTP & E-mail by month showing the number of hits, transfers & mails as well as the total amount of bandwidth used for each one. This script displays that data with some nifty additions...

What it does

At it's basic level this script displays the data in the stats.tab file in a webpage but it also...
  • The script is password protected by default. If "admin" logs in they will see a summary for all sites. If a standard user logs in they will only see details of their own site. This means you can publish the URL and siteadmins can check their own sites usage.
  • Add extra data to the stats. e.g. I run a Helix streaming server and split the logs in the same way to create my own stats.tab file for helix. This script will merge data from both.
  • Two warning levels. If the usage for a site is over a two bandwidth levels it will be highlighted. These levels can be configured by you.
  • Easy control over look and feel
