[FreeBSD] Configuration Wifi / WPA sous FreeBSD 7.0
Aujourd'hui j'ai décidé de supprimer la pauvre rallonge de 50m qui relit le
salon à ma chambre en reliant le tout par wifi.
Le point d'accès est une LiveBox et j'ai pris comme carte réseau une D-Link
DWL-G520 avec un chipset Atheros.
Tout d'abord il faut bien penser a compiler son noyau avec le device ath pour
supporter les chipsets Atheros. Ensuite j'ai configurer mon interface ath0 en
modifiant le /etc/rc.conf et en y mettant :
ifconfig_ath0="ssid Livebox-A610" ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP"Comme vous l'aurez compris, "Livebox-A610" est le ssid de ma box et j'ai ensuite activé le cryptage WPA et demandé une IP par DHCP.
Pour supporter le WPA, j'ai ensuite installé le port security/wpa_supplicant et j'ai créé un fichier /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf contenant les informations suivantes :
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1 ####I have tried ap_scan=2 more details below
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="Livebox-A610"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="XXXXXXXXXXXX"
}
Les 5 1ere options sont des options de bases, j'ai juste configuré le network
en y mettant mon SSID, en indiquant le type de cryptage, ici WPA-PSK et
indiqué ma clé au champs psk=.On redémarre les interfaces avec un petit
/etc/rc.d/netif restart
et si tout est bien configuré on doit visualiser des informations du genre :
ath0: flags=8843Pour ma part j'ai eu juste ensuite a modifier ma conf de PF pour modifier l'interface externe sur ath0 et toutes mes redirections ont marchées niquelles :)metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:1c:f0:9d:3e:4a inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/48Mbps) status: associated ssid Livebox-A610 channel 6 (2437 Mhz 11g) bssid 00:18:02:82:a3:76 authmode WPA privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF TKIP 2:128-bit TKIP 3:128-bit txpower 31.5 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11g 7 roam:rate11g 5 protmode CTS burst roaming MANUAL

Chroot du FTPD de FreeBSD
Le minimum de sécurité que l'on souhaite pour son serveur FTP est de
chrooter ses utilisateurs. Nous allons donc voir ici comment le mettre
en place sur le serveur FTP d'origine de FreeBSD.
La méthode est tres simple. Tout d'abord nous allons mettre dans le
fichier /etc/ftpchroot le nom des utilisateurs ou les groupes que l'on
souhaite
chrooter. Par exemple pour chrooter "user1" et tout le groupe "users" on
aura dans le re´pertoire /etc/ftpchroot :
user1 @usersLe @ sert juste a dire que c'est un groupe.
Ensuite nous allons recompiler le serveur ftpd en activant le chroot de la maniere suivante :
#cd /usr/src/libexec/ftpd #export FTPD_INTERNAL_LS=yes #make clean; make; make installEt voila c'est terminé, votre serveur ftpd est chrooté :)

[FreeBSD] man security

FreeBSD, les

SECURITY(7) FreeBSD Miscellaneous Information Manual SECURITY(7)
NAME
security -- introduction to security under FreeBSD
DESCRIPTION
Security is a function that begins and ends with the system
administrator. While all BSD multi-user systems have some inherent security,
the job of building and maintaining additional security mechanisms to
keep users ``honest'' is probably one of the single largest undertakings
of the sysadmin. Machines are only as secure as you make them, and
security concerns are ever competing with the human necessity for
convenience.
UNIX systems, in general, are capable of running a huge number of
simultaneous processes and many of these processes operate as servers --
meaning that external entities can connect and talk to them. As
yesterday's mini-computers and mainframes become today's desktops, and as
computers become networked and internetworked, security becomes an ever
bigger issue.
Security is best implemented through a layered onion approach. In
a nutshell, what you want to do is to create as many layers of security
as are convenient and then carefully monitor the system for intrusions.
System security also pertains to dealing with various forms of
attacks, including attacks that attempt to crash or otherwise make a system
unusable but do not attempt to break root. Security concerns can be
split up into several categories:
1. Denial of Service attacks (DoS)
2. User account compromises
3. Root compromise through accessible servers
4. Root compromise via user accounts
5. Backdoor creation
A denial of service attack is an action that deprives the machine
of needed resources. Typically, DoS attacks are brute-force
mechanisms that attempt to crash or otherwise make a machine unusable by
overwhelming its servers or network stack. Some DoS attacks try to take advantages
of bugs in the networking stack to crash a machine with a single
packet.
The latter can only be fixed by applying a bug fix to the kernel.
Attacks on servers can often be fixed by properly specifying
options to limit the load the servers incur on the system under adverse
conditions.
Brute-force network attacks are harder to deal with. A
spoofed-packet attack, for example, is nearly impossible to stop short of cutting
your system off from the Internet. It may not be able to take your
machine down, but it can fill up Internet pipe.
A user account compromise is even more common than a DoS attack.
Many sysadmins still run standard telnetd(8), rlogind(8), rshd(8), and
ftpd(8) servers on their machines. These servers, by default, do not
operate over encrypted connections. The result is that if you have any
moderate sized user base, one or more of your users logging into your system
from a remote location (which is the most common and convenient way to
log in to a system) will have his or her password sniffed. The attentive
system administrator will analyze his remote access logs looking for
suspicious source addresses even for successful logins.
One must always assume that once an attacker has access to a user
account, the attacker can break root. However, the reality is that
in a well secured and maintained system, access to a user account does
not necessarily give the attacker access to root. The distinction is
important because without access to root the attacker cannot generally
hide his tracks and may, at best, be able to do nothing more than mess
with the user's files or crash the machine. User account compromises
are very common because users tend not to take the precautions that
sysadmins take.
System administrators must keep in mind that there are potentially
many ways to break root on a machine. The attacker may know the root
pass word, the attacker may find a bug in a root-run server and be able
to break root over a network connection to that server, or the
attacker may know of a bug in an SUID-root program that allows the attacker to
break root once he has broken into a user's account. If an attacker has
found a way to break root on a machine, the attacker may not have a need
to install a backdoor. Many of the root holes found and closed to
date involve a considerable amount of work by the attacker to clean up
after himself, so most attackers do install backdoors. This gives you a
convenient way to detect the attacker. Making it impossible for an
attacker to install a backdoor may actually be detrimental to your security
because it will not close off the hole the attacker used to break
in in the first place.
Security remedies should always be implemented with a multi-layered
``onion peel'' approach and can be categorized as follows:
1. Securing root and staff accounts
2. Securing root -- root-run servers and SUID/SGID binaries
3. Securing user accounts
4. Securing the password file
5. Securing the kernel core, raw devices, and file systems
6. Quick detection of inappropriate changes made to the
system
7. Paranoia
SECURING THE ROOT ACCOUNT AND SECURING STAFF ACCOUNTS
Do not bother securing staff accounts if you have not secured the
root account. Most systems have a password assigned to the root
account. The first thing you do is assume that the password is always
compromised.
This does not mean that you should remove the password. The
password is almost always necessary for console access to the machine. What it
does mean is that you should not make it possible to use the password
outside of the console or possibly even with a su(1) utility. For example,
make sure that your PTYs are specified as being ``unsecure'' in the
/etc/ttys file so that direct root logins via telnet(1) or rlogin(1) are
disallowed. If using other login services such as sshd(8), make sure
that direct root logins are disabled there as well. Consider every
access method -- services such as ftp(1) often fall through the cracks.
Direct
root logins should only be allowed via the system console.
Of course, as a sysadmin you have to be able to get to root, so we
open up a few holes. But we make sure these holes require additional
password verification to operate. One way to make root accessible is to add
appropriate staff accounts to the ``wheel'' group (in /etc/group).
The staff members placed in the wheel group are allowed to su(1) to
root.
You should never give staff members native wheel access by putting
them in the wheel group in their password entry. Staff accounts should
be placed in a ``staff'' group, and then added to the wheel group via
the /etc/group file. Only those staff members who actually need to
have root access should be placed in the wheel group. It is also possible,
when using an authentication method such as Kerberos, to use Kerberos's
.k5login file in the root account to allow a ksu(1) to root without
having to place anyone at all in the wheel group. This may be the
better solution since the wheel mechanism still allows an intruder to
break root if the intruder has gotten hold of your password file and can break
into a staff account. While having the wheel mechanism is better than
having nothing at all, it is not necessarily the safest option.
An indirect way to secure the root account is to secure your staff
accounts by using an alternative login access method and *'ing out
the crypted password for the staff accounts. This way an intruder may
be able to steal the password file but will not be able to break into
any staff accounts or root, even if root has a crypted password
associated with it (assuming, of course, that you have limited root access to
the console). Staff members get into their staff accounts through a
secure login mechanism such as kerberos(8) or ssh(1) using a
private/public key pair. When you use something like Kerberos you
generally must secure the machines which run the Kerberos servers and your desktop
workstation.
When you use a public/private key pair with SSH, you must generally
secure the machine you are logging in from (typically your
workstation), but you can also add an additional layer of protection to the key
pair by password protecting the keypair when you create it with
ssh-keygen(1).
Being able to *-out the passwords for staff accounts also
guarantees that staff members can only log in through secure access methods that
you have set up. You can thus force all staff members to use secure,
encrypted connections for all their sessions which closes an important hole
used by many intruders: that of sniffing the network from an unrelated,
less secure machine.
The more indirect security mechanisms also assume that you are
logging in from a more restrictive server to a less restrictive server. For
example, if your main box is running all sorts of servers, your
workstation should not be running any. In order for your workstation to be
reasonably secure you should run as few servers as possible, up to and
including no servers at all, and you should run a password-protected
screen blanker. Of course, given physical access to a workstation, an
attacker can break any sort of security you put on it. This is definitely a
problem that you should consider but you should also consider the fact
that the vast majority of break-ins occur remotely, over a network, from
people who do not have physical access to your workstation or servers.
Using something like Kerberos also gives you the ability to disable
or change the password for a staff account in one place and have it
immediately affect all the machines the staff member may have an account
on.
If a staff member's account gets compromised, the ability to
instantly change his password on all machines should not be underrated. With
discrete passwords, changing a password on N machines can be a mess.
You can also impose re-passwording restrictions with Kerberos: not only
can a Kerberos ticket be made to timeout after a while, but the Kerberos
system can require that the user choose a new password after a certain
period of time (say, once a month).
SECURING ROOT -- ROOT-RUN SERVERS AND SUID/SGID BINARIES
The prudent sysadmin only runs the servers he needs to, no more, no
less.
Be aware that third party servers are often the most bug-prone.
For
example, running an old version of imapd(8) or popper(8)
(ports/mail/popper) is like giving a universal root ticket out to
the entire world. Never run a server that you have not checked out
carefully. Many servers do not need to be run as root. For example,
the talkd(8), comsat(8), and fingerd(8) daemons can be run in special
user ``sandboxes''. A sandbox is not perfect unless you go to a large
amount of trouble, but the onion approach to security still stands: if
someone is able to break in through a server running in a sandbox, they
still have to break out of the sandbox. The more layers the attacker
must break through, the lower the likelihood of his success. Root holes
have historically been found in virtually every server ever run as root,
including basic system servers. If you are running a machine
through which people only log in via sshd(8) and never log in via
telnetd(8), rshd(8), or rlogind(8), then turn off those services!
FreeBSD now defaults to running talkd(8), comsat(8), and fingerd(8)
in a sandbox. Another program which may be a candidate for running in a
sandbox is named(8). The default rc.conf includes the arguments
necessary to run named(8) in a sandbox in a commented-out form. Depending on
whether you are installing a new system or upgrading an existing system,
the special user accounts used by these sandboxes may not be installed.
The prudent sysadmin would research and implement sandboxes for servers
whenever possible.
There are a number of other servers that typically do not run in
sandboxes: sendmail(8), popper(8), imapd(8), ftpd(8), and others.
There are alternatives to some of these, but installing them may require more
work than you are willing to put (the convenience factor strikes again).
You may have to run these servers as root and rely on other mechanisms
to detect break-ins that might occur through them.
The other big potential root hole in a system are the SUID-root and
SGID binaries installed on the system. Most of these binaries, such as
rlogin(1), reside in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin. While nothing
is 100% safe, the system-default SUID and SGID binaries can be
considered reasonably safe. Still, root holes are occasionally found in these
binaries. A root hole was found in Xlib in 1998 that made xterm(1)
(ports/x11/xterm) (which is typically SUID) vulnerable. It is
better to be safe than sorry and the prudent sysadmin will restrict SUID
binaries that only staff should run to a special group that only staff can
access, and get rid of (``chmod 000'') any SUID binaries that nobody uses.
A server with no display generally does not need an xterm(1) binary.
SGID
binaries can be almost as dangerous. If an intruder can break an
SGID-
kmem binary the intruder might be able to read /dev/kmem and thus
read the crypted password file, potentially compromising any passworded
account. Alternatively an intruder who breaks group ``kmem'' can
monitor keystrokes sent through PTYs, including PTYs used by users who log
in through secure methods. An intruder that breaks the ``tty'' group
can write to almost any user's TTY. If a user is running a terminal
program or emulator with a keyboard-simulation feature, the intruder can
potentially generate a data stream that causes the user's terminal to
echo a command, which is then run as that user.
SECURING USER ACCOUNTS
User accounts are usually the most difficult to secure. While you
can impose draconian access restrictions on your staff and *-out their
passwords, you may not be able to do so with any general user accounts
you might have. If you do have sufficient control then you may win out
and be able to secure the user accounts properly. If not, you simply
have to be more vigilant in your monitoring of those accounts. Use of SSH
and Kerberos for user accounts is more problematic due to the extra
administration and technical support required, but still a very good
solution compared to a crypted password file.
SECURING THE PASSWORD FILE
The only sure fire way is to *-out as many passwords as you can and
use SSH or Kerberos for access to those accounts. Even though the
crypted password file (/etc/spwd.db) can only be read by root, it may be
possible for an intruder to obtain read access to that file even if the
attacker cannot obtain root-write access.
Your security scripts should always check for and report changes to
the password file (see CHECKING FILE INTEGRITY below).
SECURING THE KERNEL CORE, RAW DEVICES, AND FILE SYSTEMS
If an attacker breaks root he can do just about anything, but there
are certain conveniences. For example, most modern kernels have a
packet sniffing device driver built in. Under FreeBSD it is called the
bpf(4) device. An intruder will commonly attempt to run a packet sniffer
on a compromised machine. You do not need to give the intruder the
capability and most systems should not have the bpf(4) device compiled in.
But even if you turn off the bpf(4) device, you still have /dev/mem
and /dev/kmem to worry about. For that matter, the intruder can still
write to raw disk devices. Also, there is another kernel feature called
the module loader, kldload(8). An enterprising intruder can use a KLD
module to install his own bpf(4) device or other sniffing device on a
running kernel. To avoid these problems you have to run the kernel at a
higher security level, at least level 1. The security level can be set
with a sysctl(8) on the kern.securelevel variable. Once you have set the
security level to 1, write access to raw devices will be denied and
special chflags(1) flags, such as schg, will be enforced. You must also
ensure that the schg flag is set on critical startup binaries,
directories, and script files -- everything that gets run up to the point where the
security level is set. This might be overdoing it, and upgrading the
system is much more difficult when you operate at a higher security level.
You may compromise and run the system at a higher security level but
not set the schg flag for every system file and directory under the sun.
Another possibility is to simply mount / and /usr read-only. It should be
noted that being too draconian in what you attempt to protect may prevent
the all-important detection of an intrusion.
The kernel runs with five different security levels. Any
super-user process can raise the level, but no process can lower it. The
security -1 Permanently insecure mode - always run the system in
insecure mode.
This is the default initial value.
0 Insecure mode - immutable and append-only flags may be turned
off.
All devices may be read or written subject to their
permissions.
1 Secure mode - the system immutable and system append-only
flags may not be turned off; disks for mounted file systems, /dev/mem
and /dev/kmem may not be opened for writing; /dev/io (if your
platform has it) may not be opened at all; kernel modules (see kld(4))
may not be loaded or unloaded.
2 Highly secure mode - same as secure mode, plus disks may not
be opened for writing (except by mount(2)) whether mounted or
not.
This level precludes tampering with file systems by
unmounting them, but also inhibits running newfs(8) while the system is
multiuser.
In addition, kernel time changes are restricted to less than
or equal to one second. Attempts to change the time by more
than this will log the message ``Time adjustment clamped to +1
second''.
3 Network secure mode - same as highly secure mode, plus IP
packet filter rules (see ipfw(8), ipfirewall(4) and pfctl(8)) cannot
be changed and dummynet(4) or pf(4) configuration cannot be
adjusted.
The security level can be configured with variables documented in
rc.conf(8).
CHECKING FILE INTEGRITY: BINARIES, CONFIG FILES, ETC
When it comes right down to it, you can only protect your core
system configuration and control files so much before the convenience
factor rears its ugly head. For example, using chflags(1) to set the schg
bit on most of the files in / and /usr is probably counterproductive
because while it may protect the files, it also closes a detection window.
The last layer of your security onion is perhaps the most important --
detection. The rest of your security is pretty much useless (or, worse,
presents you with a false sense of safety) if you cannot detect
potential incursions. Half the job of the onion is to slow down the attacker
rather than stop him in order to give the detection layer a chance
to catch him in the act.
The best way to detect an incursion is to look for modified,
missing, or unexpected files. The best way to look for modified files is from
another (often centralized) limited-access system. Writing your
security scripts on the extra-secure limited-access system makes them mostly
invisible to potential attackers, and this is important. In order
to take maximum advantage you generally have to give the
limited-access box significant access to the other machines in the business, usually
either by doing a read-only NFS export of the other machines to the
limited-access box, or by setting up SSH keypairs to allow the limit-access
box to SSH to the other machines. Except for its network traffic, NFS
is the least visible method -- allowing you to monitor the file systems on
each client box virtually undetected. If your limited-access server is
connected to the client boxes through a switch, the NFS method is
often the better choice. If your limited-access server is connected to the
client boxes through a hub or through several layers of routing, the NFS
method may be too insecure (network-wise) and using SSH may be the better
choice even with the audit-trail tracks that SSH lays.
Once you give a limit-access box at least read access to the client
systems it is supposed to monitor, you must write scripts to do the
actual monitoring. Given an NFS mount, you can write scripts out of
simple sys-tem utilities such as find(1) and md5(1). It is best to physically
md5(1) the client-box files boxes at least once a day, and to test
control files such as those found in /etc and /usr/local/etc even more
often. When mismatches are found relative to the base MD5
information the limited-access machine knows is valid, it should scream at a
sysadmin to go check it out. A good security script will also check for
inappropriate SUID binaries and for new or deleted files on system
partitions such as / and /usr.
When using SSH rather than NFS, writing the security script is much more
difficult. You essentially have to scp(1) the scripts to the
client box in order to run them, making them visible, and for safety you also
need to scp(1) the binaries (such as find(1)) that those scripts use.
The sshd(8) daemon on the client box may already be compromised. All
in all, using SSH may be necessary when running over unsecure links, but it
is also a lot harder to deal with.
A good security script will also check for changes to user and
staff members access configuration files: .rhosts, .shosts,
.ssh/authorized_keys and so forth, files that might fall outside the purview of the MD5
check.
If you have a huge amount of user disk space it may take too long
to run through every file on those partitions. In this case, setting
mount flags to disallow SUID binaries on those partitions is a good idea.
The nosuid option (see mount(8)) is what you want to look into. I
would scan them anyway at least once a week, since the object of this layer is
to detect a break-in whether or not the break-in is effective.
Process accounting (see accton(8)) is a relatively low-overhead
feature of the operating system which I recommend using as a post-break-in
evaluation mechanism. It is especially useful in tracking down how an
intruder has actually broken into a system, assuming the file is
still intact after the break-in occurs.
Finally, security scripts should process the log files and the logs
themselves should be generated in as secure a manner as possible --
remote syslog can be very useful. An intruder tries to cover his tracks,
and log files are critical to the sysadmin trying to track down the
time and method of the initial break-in. One way to keep a permanent record
of the log files is to run the system console to a serial port and
collect the information on a continuing basis through a secure machine
monitoring the consoles.
PARANOIA
A little paranoia never hurts. As a rule, a sysadmin can add any
number of security features as long as they do not affect convenience, and
can add security features that do affect convenience with some added
thought.
Even more importantly, a security administrator should mix it up a
bit -- if you use recommendations such as those given by this manual page
verbatim, you give away your methodologies to the prospective attacker
who also has access to this manual page.
SPECIAL SECTION ON DoS ATTACKS
This section covers Denial of Service attacks. A DoS attack is
typically a packet attack. While there is not much you can do about modern
spoofed packet attacks that saturate your network, you can generally limit
the damage by ensuring that the attacks cannot take down your servers.
1. Limiting server forks
2. Limiting springboard attacks (ICMP response attacks,
ping broadcast, etc.)
3. Kernel Route Cache
A common DoS attack is against a forking server that attempts to
cause the server to eat processes, file descriptors, and memory until the
machine dies. The inetd(8) server has several options to limit
this sort of attack. It should be noted that while it is possible to prevent
a machine from going down it is not generally possible to prevent a
service from being disrupted by the attack. Read the inetd(8) manual page
carefully and pay specific attention to the -c, -C, and -R options.
Note
that spoofed-IP attacks will circumvent the -C option to inetd(8),
so typically a combination of options must be used. Some standalone
servers have self-fork-limitation parameters.
The sendmail(8) daemon has its -OMaxDaemonChildren option which
tends to work much better than trying to use sendmail(8)'s load limiting
options due to the load lag. You should specify a MaxDaemonChildren
parameter when you start sendmail(8) high enough to handle your expected load
but not so high that the computer cannot handle that number of
sendmail's without falling on its face. It is also prudent to run sendmail(8)
in ``queued'' mode (-ODeliveryMode=queued) and to run the daemon
(``sendmail -bd'') separate from the queue-runs (``sendmail -q15m''). If you
still want real-time delivery you can run the queue at a much lower
interval, such as -q1m, but be sure to specify a reasonable MaxDaemonChildren
option for that sendmail(8) to prevent cascade failures.
The syslogd(8) daemon can be attacked directly and it is strongly
recommended that you use the -s option whenever possible, and the -a
option otherwise.
You should also be fairly careful with connect-back services such
as tcpwrapper's reverse-identd, which can be attacked directly. You
generally do not want to use the reverse-ident feature of tcpwrappers for
this reason.
It is a very good idea to protect internal services from external
access by firewalling them off at your border routers. The idea here is
to prevent saturation attacks from outside your LAN, not so much to
protect internal services from network-based root compromise. Always
configure an exclusive firewall, i.e., `firewall everything except ports A,
B, C, D, and M-Z'. This way you can firewall off all of your low ports
except for certain specific services such as named(8) (if you are primary
for a zone), talkd(8), sendmail(8), and other internet-accessible
services. If you try to configure the firewall the other way -- as an inclusive
or permissive firewall, there is a good chance that you will forget to
``close'' a couple of services or that you will add a new internal
service and forget to update the firewall. You can still open up the
highnumbered port range on the firewall to allow permissive-like
operation without compromising your low ports. Also take note that FreeBSD
allows you to control the range of port numbers used for dynamic binding
via the various net.inet.ip.portrange sysctl's (``sysctl net.inet.ip.portrange''),
which can also ease the complexity of
your firewall's configuration. I usually use a normal first/last range
of 4000 to 5000, and a hiport range of 49152 to 65535, then block
everything under 4000 off in my firewall (except for certain specific
internet-accessible ports, of course).
Another common DoS attack is called a springboard attack -- to
attack a server in a manner that causes the server to generate responses
which then overload the server, the local network, or some other machine.
The most common attack of this nature is the ICMP PING BROADCAST
attack. The attacker spoofs ping packets sent to your LAN's broadcast address
with the source IP address set to the actual machine they wish to
attack. If your border routers are not configured to stomp on ping's to
broadcast addresses, your LAN winds up generating sufficient responses to the
spoofed source address to saturate the victim, especially when the
attacker uses the same trick on several dozen broadcast addresses
over several dozen different networks at once. Broadcast attacks of
over a hundred and twenty megabits have been measured. A second common
springboard attack is against the ICMP error reporting system. By
constructing packets that generate ICMP error responses, an attacker can
saturate a server's incoming network and cause the server to saturate its
outgoing network with ICMP responses. This type of attack can also crash
the server by running it out of mbuf's, especially if the server cannot
drain the ICMP responses it generates fast enough. The FreeBSD kernel
has a new kernel compile option called ICMP_BANDLIM which limits the
effectiveness of these sorts of attacks. The last major class of
springboard attacks is related to certain internal inetd(8) services such as
the UDP echo service. An attacker simply spoofs a UDP packet with the
source address being server A's echo port, and the destination address
being server B's echo port, where server A and B are both on your LAN.
The two servers then bounce this one packet back and forth between each
other.
The attacker can overload both servers and their LANs simply by
injecting a few packets in this manner. Similar problems exist with the
internal chargen port. A competent sysadmin will turn off all of these
inetd(8)-internal test services.
Spoofed packet attacks may also be used to overload the kernel
route cache. Refer to the net.inet.ip.rtexpire, net.inet.ip.rtminexpire,
and net.inet.ip.rtmaxcache sysctl(8) variables. A spoofed packet
attack that uses a random source IP will cause the kernel to generate a
temporary cached route in the route table, viewable with ``netstat -rna |
fgrep W3''. These routes typically timeout in 1600 seconds or so. If
the kernel detects that the cached route table has gotten too big it will
dynamically reduce the rtexpire but will never decrease it to less than
rtminexpire. There are two problems: (1) The kernel does not react
quickly enough when a lightly loaded server is suddenly attacked,
and (2)
The rtminexpire is not low enough for the kernel to survive a
sustained attack. If your servers are connected to the internet via a T3 or
better it may be prudent to manually override both rtexpire and
rtminexpire via sysctl(8). Never set either parameter to zero (unless you want to
crash the machine :-)). Setting both parameters to 2 seconds should be
sufficient to protect the route table from attack.
ACCESS ISSUES WITH KERBEROS AND SSH
There are a few issues with both Kerberos and SSH that need to be
addressed if you intend to use them. Kerberos5 is an excellent
authentication protocol but the kerberized telnet(1) and rlogin(1) suck
rocks.
There are bugs that make them unsuitable for dealing with binary
streams.
Also, by default Kerberos does not encrypt a session unless you use
the -x option. SSH encrypts everything by default.
SSH works quite well in every respect except when it is set up to
forward encryption keys. What this means is that if you have a secure
workstation holding keys that give you access to the rest of the system,
and you ssh(1) to an unsecure machine, your keys become exposed. The
actual keys themselves are not exposed, but ssh(1) installs a forwarding port
for the duration of your login and if an attacker has broken root on the
unsecure machine he can utilize that port to use your keys to gain access to
any other machine that your keys unlock.
We recommend that you use SSH in combination with Kerberos whenever
possible for staff logins. SSH can be compiled with Kerberos support.
This reduces your reliance on potentially exposable SSH keys while at
the same time protecting passwords via Kerberos. SSH keys should only be
used for automated tasks from secure machines (something that Kerberos is
unsuited to). We also recommend that you either turn off key-forwarding in
the SSH configuration, or that you make use of the from=IP/DOMAIN
option that SSH allows in its authorized_keys file to make the key only usable
to entities logging in from specific machines.

Tuning Fluxbox
Je me suis laissé tenter par me refaire un joli Fluxbox. Voila donc ce que
j'ai utilisé :
gtk-chtheme pour modifier le thème GTK. J'ai choisi MurrinaCappucino que j'ai
du ajouter auparavant (a voir dans les ports).
ensuite pour fluxbox j'ai choisi le theme blackened. Il faut decompresser le tar.gz, puis copier le
theme dans le rep ~/.fluxbox/styles/ et ajouter le rep pixmap/
dans le même répertoire. Il est ensuite disponible dans le menu fluxbox.
Je me suis ajouté conky aussi dont voila la conf :
