Block Spammers/Hackers With mod_defensible On Apache2

mod_defensible is an Apache 2.x module intended to block spammers using DNSBL servers.

It will look at the client IP and check it in one or several DNSBL servers and return
a 403 Forbidden page to the client.

Installation
Download the package: here

Follow the steps below to compile and install the package.

# tar -zxvf mod_defensible-1.4.tar.gz
# cd mod_defensible-1.4/
# ./configure
# make
# make install

You can use --with-udns to enable udns (asynchronous resolver library) usage, which should be faster. However, this is not mandatory.

Configuration
Open (apache configuration file) apache2.conf and go to the end where the virtual hosts are configured, and put the mod_defensible configuration right before the virtual hosts:

# Activate DNSBL usage
DnsblUse On
# Specify DNSBL servers
DnsblServers xbl-bl.spamhaus.org. mydnbl.server.org.

With udns support, you can also use:

# Specify another nameserver to use instead of default system resolver
DnsblNameserver 192.168.3.254

Restart Apache afterwards: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

That's it. If an IP address which is blacklisted tries to access your webserver, it will receive an HTTP error 403.

Linux System monitoring using Dstat

dstat  is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat, netstat, nfsstat, and ifstat. It includes various counters (in separate plugins) and allows you to select and view all of your system resources instantly; you can, for example, compare disk usage in combination with interrupts from your IDE controller, or compare the network bandwidth numbers directly with the disk throughput (in the same interval).

Dstat also cleverly gives you the most detailed information in columns and clearly indicates in what magnitude and unit the output is displayed. Less confusion, less mistakes, more efficient.

Dstat is unique in letting you aggregate block device throughput for a certain diskset or network bandwidth for a group of interfaces, ie. you can see the throughput for all the block devices that make up a single filesystem or storage system.

Dstat allows its data to be directly written to a CSV file to be imported and used by OpenOffice, Gnumeric or Excel to create graphs.



Download:
OpenSuse 11: here
Fedora: here

After downloading the rpm file, install it using command: rpm -ivh dstat-0.6.8-3.1.noarch.rpm

Using Dstat
Using dstat to relate disk-throughput with network-usage (eth0), total CPU-usage and system counters:

dstat -dnyc -N eth0 -C total -f 5

Checking dstat's behaviour and the system's impact on dstat:

dstat -taf --debug

Using the time plugin together with cpu, net, disk, system, load, proc and topcpu plugins:

dstat -tcndylp -M topcpu

this is identical to: dstat -M time,cpu,net,disk,sys,load,proc,topcpu

Using dstat to relate cpu stats with interrupts per device:

dstat -tcyif

Get a Report by Mail
There may be cases wherein you want to observe how your server is performing over a period of time. You can setup a background process in Linux that will give you a reading with a certain interval, generate a report, and mail out the file to you.

The following script will run Dstat for three hours, reading the data every 30 seconds, and will mail out the report to me@myemailid.com.

    #!/bin/bash
    dstat –output /tmp/dstat_data_mail.csv -CDN 30 360
    mutt -a /tmp/dstat_data_mail.csv -s “Dstat Report for 3 hour run” me@myemailid.com <  /dev/null


Save the above script in a file called dstat_script.sh on your server, give it executable permission and then run it as a background process:

# chmod +x dstat_script.sh
# nohup ./dstat_script.sh &

Done. Yes, it’s that simple. You will now be mailed this report after it’s done running. You can optionally schedule this script as a daily cron job so that you can receive this data every day.

Multimedia Support in Fedora 10

Why doesn’t Fedora support MP3 ‘out of the box’?
Fedora cannot include support for MP3 or DVD video playback or recording. MP3 formats are patented, and the patent holders have not provided the necessary licenses. Fedora also excludes other multimedia software due to patent, copyright, or license restrictions, such as Adobe Flash Player and RealNetworks RealPlayer.
That doesn’t mean you can’t play .mp3 files in Fedora, it just takes a bit of work (not much).

Follow these instructions to get mp3 and other multimedia support on your Fedora 10.

Open a terminal and become root, then run this command:


# rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm 
# rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm 


Now, Install all other plug ins..

# yum -y install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly xine-lib-extras-nonfree

After successful installation, open Amarok or any other multimedia player and try to play the mp3 file and see if all goes fine and you are able to hear the music.

XMMS

To install xmms and make it MP3-capable, start by doing this:

# yum install xmms xmms-mp3

MPEG, QuickTime, AVI, and DVDs

MPEG (the format used on DVDs) represents itself as an open standard, but most Linux distributions won't ship software that read it because of blocking patents held by MPEGLA. AVI and Apple QuickTime have proprietary codecs covered by patents, so most Linux distributions won't ship software that decodes them, either.

Unfortunately, the alternate front end xine is even more broken. It can be installed this way:

# yum install xine xine-lib libdvdcss

Doing this will also install a number of support libraries, including the libdvdcss plugin

FTP port forwarding using Iptables

Well, let’s imagine rather trivial situation: you have Linux router connected to Internet via e.g. ADSL modem and some local network comprising several computers and servers connected to that router via switches and/or Wi-Fi access points.

Done? Ok.

There is one public IP assigned to WAN interface of the router while FTP server (of course run by Linux as well) has IP something like 192.168.123.14 or 172.16.*.* or 10.*.*.*. Moreover you want to allow people to access your FTP from every corner of Internet… So, there are several ways how to apply this but let’s talk about how to achieve this by means of using port forwarding feature that is available in any router’s functions list.

So, let’s say we have the following configuration:

Internet <-> [a] router [b] <-> [c] FTP server

[a] is WAN interface with 212.213.214.215 (just an example) IP assigned to it, [b] is NIC with 192.168.0.1 and [c] is server’s interface with IP 192.168.0.2. All what we need is that users from Internet can access FTP server using 212.213.214.215 IP and default 21 TCP port.

One of the main problems is that passive mode of FTP service uses any port from range 1024 to 65535 so it’s not enough to forward 21/20 ports to FTP server and let the ball rolling. So, go to servers’ CLI and open configuration file of an FTP service. It would be vsftpd, proftpd whatever. Let’s say we have vsftpd so we have to add the following lines to /etc/vsftpd.conf:

pasv_min_port=12000
pasv_max_port=13000

When changes are saved restart vsftpd server.

Now access router’s CLI and type the following:

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -d 212.213.214.215 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 21 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.1

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -d 212.213.214.215 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 12000:13000 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.1

This will add netfilter port forwarding rules which will redirect traffic coming at routers’ public IP through 21 TCP port to FTP server and will properly handle passive FTP mode.

Webmin installation and configuration on OpenSuSe

Webmin, developed by Jamie Cameron, acts as a comprehensive interface to the underlying applications on servers, including support for configuring applications like ftp, ssh, mail, Web, databases and more. Differing from other control panels, the core Webmin interface is intended for system administrators with root access to their servers, and includes a user-based package to enable your users (or clients) to access their own domains, email, and more, within a limited scope. Webmin supports running under SSL.

The application runs on its own mini-Web server so as to be available even when your primary Web server software is not running (i.e. Apache, etc.), and is powered by a number of Perl-based applications that directly interface with your system configuration files. According to Webmin, the entire solution is built on Perl 5 and uses no non-standard Perl modules.

Installing the RPM

You need to use RPM version of Webmin, first download the file and then run the command :

# rpm -ivh webmin-1.441-1.noarch.rpm

The rest of the install will be done automatically to the directory /usr/libexec/webmin, the administration username set to root and the password to your current root password. You should now be able to login to Webmin at the URL http://localhost:10000/


Configuring Your Firewall For Webmin

Many operating systems block access to port 10000 by default, as they have a firewall activated as part of the installation process. This may prevent you from logging into http://yourserver:10000/ from another system on your network or over the Internet.

The simplest way to open up port 10000 is to use one of the Webmin firewall management modules, such as Linux Firewall, BSD Firewall or IPFilter Firewall. However, to access this you'll need to run a brower on the same system as Webmin, and access it via the URL http://localhost:10000/.

The alternative is to login as root via SSH, and manually edit the firewall configuration file. On Redhat and derived systems, this is /etc/sysconfig/iptables, while on Debian it is /var/lib/iptables. The line you need to add is :

-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

It should be added in the file just after similar lines which grant access to ports 80, 22 and so on.

Once this line has been added, you will need to apply the firewall configuration. This is typically done with the command /etc/init.d/iptables restart .

How to create System Image

Hard Disk Clone
Suppose you have a 40GB hard disk and a removable hard disk whose capacity is 60GB, and you want to backup all the files from the hard disk to the removable disk. With "dd", it is a very easy task. Again, suppose your hard disk's Unix device name is /dev/sda and the removable disk is /dev/sdb. The following command can copy all the content from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb

Here, if=... sets the source and of=... sets the destination. "dd" doesn't care of the contents of the hard disk. It just reads bytes from /dev/sda and writes them into /dev/sdb. It doesn't know what are files. So, the hard disk file system and how many partitions it has are not important. For example, if /dev/sda is splitted into three partitions, the /dev/sdb will have the same partitions. i.e. "destination" is completely same with "source".

Notice: to execute "dd" you should login as "root" or switch to "root" using "su" command. And you must be careful, a small mistake may cause a serious problem!
Making a Hard Disk Image File

Most of time you don't want to make a complete duplication of your hard disk. You may prefer to creating an image file of the hard disk and save it in other storage devices. The following command will create an image file "disk1.img" in your user's directory from /dev/sda:

dd if=/dev/sda of=~/disk1.img

Since you have created an image file, you can compress it with "gzip" or "bzip2":

gzip disk1.img #generates disk1.img.gz or
bzip2 disk1.img #generates disk1.img.bz2

You can save much storage space with compression. But it will take very long time.

Partition Clone
Backing up a hard disk partition is much similar to backing up a whole hard disk. The reason is that Unix/Linux uses device name, such as /dev/sda1, /dev/sda5... to indicate the partitions. For example, if you want to create an image file from the first partition of /dev/sda, use "dd" like this:

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=~/disk2.img

Also, you can compress the image file:

gzip disk2.img

By the way, you can copy a partition to another partition completely, just set "of" to the partition's device name. For example:

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb5

This command will copy all the contents from /dev/sda1 to /dev/sdb5. You must be sure that the capacity of /dev/sdb5 is larger than /dev/sda1.

Restoring from an Image File
To restore a partition or a hard disk from an image file, just exchange the arguments "if" and "of". For example, restore the whole hard disk from the image file "disk1.img":

dd if=disk1.img of=/dev/sda

Restore the first partition of /dev/sda from the image file "disk2.img":

dd if=disk2.img of=/dev/sda1

Installing VMware on Ubuntu

VMware software provides a completely virtualized set of hardware to the guest operating system. VMware software virtualizes the hardware for a video adapter, a network adapter, and hard disk adapters. The host provides pass-through drivers for guest USB, serial, and parallel devices. In this way, VMware virtual machines become highly portable between computers, because every host looks nearly identical to the guest. In practice, a systems administrator can pause operations on a virtual machine guest, move or copy that guest to another physical computer, and there resume execution exactly at the point of suspension. Alternately, for enterprise servers, a feature called VMotion allows the migration of operational guest virtual machines between similar but separate hardware hosts sharing the same storage.


Download VMware

    * wget http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmserver/VMware-server-1.0.8-126538.tar.gz

While you begin downloading VMware, register here to get the free serial key.

Also, install the following package:

  * sudo apt-get install kernel-package xinetd

Now, unpack the VMware pacakage:

  * tar zxvf VMware-server-1.0.8-126538.tar.gz
  * cd vmware-server-directory


Run the installation script:

  * sudo ./vmware-install.pl

Now you will get a series of questions that you need to answer and finally it will install the VMserver on your Ubuntu box.

How to add extra repositories into Ubuntu

There are thousands of programs available to install on Ubuntu. These programs are stored in software repositories and are made freely available for all Ubuntu users. This makes it very easy to install new programs, and it is also very secure because each program you install is built specially for Ubuntu and checked before it is allowed into the repositories. 

It is possible to add extra repositories, such as those provided by third parties or those for older version of Ubuntu.

   1. Open System Administration Software Sources and press Third Party Software.
  
   2. Press Add to add a new repository.
  
   3. Enter the APT line for the extra repository. This should be available from the website of the repository or similar, and should look similar to the following:

      deb http://ftp.debian.org etch main

   4. Press Add Source and then click Close to save your changes.
  
   5. You will be notified that the information about available software is out-of-date. Press Reload.

   6. Most software repositories use a GPG key to digitally sign the files they provide, which makes it easy to check that the files have not been tampered with since their creation. In order for apt to be able to check this, you need the public key that corresponds to the signatures. The key should be available for download on the repository's website.

   7. Once you have downloaded the GPG key, import the key by selecting the Authentication tab, clicking on Import Key File, and then selecting the GPG key to be imported.

Securing Ubuntu

ProShield is a system administration/security program for Ubuntu/Debian GNU/Linux. It helps insure that your system is secure and up-to-date by checking many different aspects of your system. Whether you are a Linux novice or a system administrator with a dozen servers, ProShield is designed to be usable by all. Its main goal is to help secure a newly installed computer, as well as maintain the security of an existing machine. It's part security and part security administration.

The main features of ProShield are:

    * Helps you backup your system weekly.
    * Checks for new software releases, in order to see if installed software is reasonably up to date.  Smart-suggestion to upgrade if an important package is released.
    * Disk-space check to find any partitions that are 70% full or more.
    * Checks for extra root accounts.
    * Checks account & password files for correct access control permissions.
    * Makes sure a few security-hazardous packages are not installed.
    * Checks to make sure a packet sniffer is not running.
    * Removes unneeded packages from the local package archive.
    * Checks to see if 'apt' is fetching unnecessary information when checking for software updates.
    * Makes sure system time is accurate.
    * Checks to make sure the user isn't logged into the system (GUI) as root.
    * Checks the configuration of the ssh server ([sshd] if installed) for insecure settings.
    * At runtime, ProShield will also check to see if there has been a new version released, and can download and install it at the user's preference.

When the program is done analyzing your system, it displays an "advisory report", and then (if necessary), guides you through a series of interactive questions to help you solve any problems it found.

ProShield is released as a Debian package, ready for easy installation.  After installation, type "proshield" to start the program (you need to do this in a shell/terminal).

Download the latest version: ProShield v3.8.19

Easy Install:

If you don't know what a Debian package is, or you'd just like to install ProShield painlessly right now, you can paste this command into a shell/terminal: (you should also use this if you intend to install the ProShield package from the command line, as this method will resolve dependencies)

A Complete music player (with ipod support) - Exaile

Exaile is a music player aiming to be similar to KDE's Amarok, but for GTK+ and written in Python. It incorporates many of the cool things from Amarok (and other media players) like automatic fetching of album art, handling of large libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via Wikipedia, Last.fm support, and optional iPod support via a plugin.


In addition, Exaile also includes a built-in SHOUTcast directory browser, tabbed playlists (so you can have more than one playlist open at a time), blacklisting of tracks (so they don't get scanned into your library), downloading of guitar tablature from fretplay.com, and submitting played tracks on your iPod to Last.fm.

Installation: Ubuntu
Users of Ubuntu Gutsy, Hardy or Intrepid can optionally use this repository. Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list

Gutsy: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/exaile-devel/ubuntu gutsy main
Hardy: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/exaile-devel/ubuntu hardy main
Intrepid: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/exaile-devel/ubuntu intrepid main

and then type the following:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install exaile

Installing from source:
1. The following pre-requisites are required to download, compile and build in Debian/Ubuntu

   * bzr
   * debhelper (>= 5)

Disable unnecessary services in Ubuntu - Boot-Up Manager

The startup scripts located in /etc/init.d are part of the bootup sequence of every Debian-like distro. Very often Ubuntu's documentation and guides have suggested - in order to deactivate init scripts - to change the permissions of the scripts in /etc/init.d, making them non-executable. This will have the following consequences:

    * You'll get an error message at boot time (to avoid it you need to patch all the scripts);
    * You are breaking the logical chain stated in debian-policy concerning runlevel configuration.

If the logic of a debian-like system boot up sequence is not very clear and familiar to you, you should not play with symlinks, permissions, etc. In order to avoid messing up your system, Boot-Up Manager will automate all of your configuration in a nice and clean graphical interface.

Boot-Up Manager is a Perl-Gtk2 application to handle runlevels configuration of any debian derivative system. With this program the user will easily start and stop boot-up scripts, without the necessity to handle thru complex links and permissions.


Boot-Up Manager has been developed and tested on Ubuntu, but as it only relies on Perl-Gtk2 libraries, it can be run on any Debian-like system.

Installation:
BUM is currently in Debian unstable/testing and in all Ubuntu's repositories. These users can just apt-get it.

apt-get install bum

Other users of debian-derivative distro's can just download the .deb package and type, from a terminal:

sudo dpkg -i bum_2.1.8-1_all.deb

Your Boot-Up Manager is placed into System->Administration menu.

Tarball
Unpack your tarball and build the program:
tar -xvzf bum-2.2.0.tar.gz
cd bum-2.2.0
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

Last command must be run with root privileges. Please read the INSTALL file, for configuration options.

Installing the extra restrictive.
There are certain packages that do not come by default in Ubuntu for legal issues. for example, may be the plug-in flash, or codecs to be able to play some video formats. There is a metapackage (a package that includes many more packages and installs) called ubuntu-restricted-extras that can install all the required restricted packages.

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Repository for mediubuntu Intrepid Ibe
Mediubuntu is a repository where we can find some applications and codecs that are not installed by default. We can add to the list of repositories from command terminal:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

and then

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring &&  sudo apt-get update
