Combatting DDoS attack
Hi, I''ve been working the past 8 hrs combatting DDoS attacks on websites and dedicated servers I host for clients. They''re hitting one specific IP address, but coming from thousands of external IP addresses. I use: shorewall-4.0.10-3.noarch How can I tackle this? I''ve blocked many subnets in the blacklist file but it''s made very little difference. If

TARPIT target in iptables
Has anyone been successful at using the TARPIT target in iptables under CentOS 4? I am using CentOS 4.3, fully updated with iptables-1.2.11-3.1.RHEL4 and kernel-2.6.9-34.107.plus.c4 Doing a locate on TARPIT returns: # locate TARPIT /lib/iptables/libipt_TARPIT.so This makes me think that the TARPIT target would be valid, however when I tr...

[Bug 78] -m psd -j TARPIT returns all ports open from nmap
https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=78 ------- Additional Comments From tools@die.net 2003-04-17 15:47 ------- Showing any ports open that are sent to it is the normal function of TARPIT target. The psd match will start routing all ports to it after it decides that an IP is portscanning, so this is the expected behavior. That being said, the psd match won't route any TCP ACK packets to the specified target. It seems to be trying to do this to keep from affecting outgoing con...

userspace tarpit
... Hello! I completed a simple userspace tarpit script: http://www.radlinux.org/connexion/browser/branches/0.4.4/lib/cxnet It is not a production solution, but an example of cxnet usage. Whilst not as fast as libnfnetlink and kernel netfilter, cxnet is extremely simple and can be used for rapid net-apps development or in GNU/Linux network st...

iptables patch-o-matic
Hi, I am trying to install some additional iptables modules on a CentOS 5 Box (imq, tarpit, geoip). Can anyone recommend a version of patch-o-matic-ng that works well with the CentOS 5 kernel sources (2.6.18-8.1.4)? The most current version (patch-o-matic-ng-20070521.tar.bz2) does not compile. With patch-o-matic-ng-20061128.tar.bz2 I could at least get tarpit working but geoip and im...

More fine-grained connection limitations?
...mail clients to connect too frequently. For example, I've seen users who configured their clients to check (IMAP) mail every 3 seconds. This is far too frequent and puts unnecessary load on the server. Even once per minute seems excessive to me. It would be really great if there were a way to tarpit those users to slow them down, or send them an imap message saying they are connecting to often and connections have been disabled for the next 5 minutes or something. Micah ps - what happens to a user when they hit mail_mx_userip_connections? Further connections are just denied, or dropped?

Security through obscurity it may be, but it isn't pointless. Tarpits are in a similar class; they don't help with security in the absolute sense, but they slow the attacker down, and that might be enough to prevent the attack from continuing.?

Asterisk Bible?
Hi Folks, Is there a generally accepted Asterisk bible for current versions? I poked around the forums and there didn't seem to be a real consensus, and there are lots of options out there. I need something that focuses on Asterisk dialplans and config files, not a linux primer. I'm looking for dead-tree rather than online documentation. Thanks, Tim

Distro Differences?
Hello, Several of us have been using Wine to play Warhammer Online (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=13139&iTestingId=29914). Until recently it worked fine with 1.1.2 on Ubuntu (Hardy). Then the games patcher was updated and it no longer runs instead it hangs without returning when first run. This problem seems specific to Ubuntu as it still works for

...onal workstation. Is there some chance that what I'm expiriencing is only a software error? If so, I might compile my next kernel with jbd debugging on. (currently 2.4.17pre8) -- Jure Pecar Unfortunatly, SMTP email is anything but a small set of problems. Quite the opposite: it's a tarpit of bureaucratic standards committees, arrogant implementors, impatient administrators and whiny end-users.

R-beta: R-0.62.3 is released
...the FTP area at Auckland. As usual, do not fetch it from there unless absolutely urgent, because of the NZ Internet billing system. The files should get mirrored to the main CRAN site in Vienna tonight and the rest of CRAN within days. [And, may I add, the NZ connection is slower than a sloth in a tarpit. I had turnaround times of up to at least 15s while packaging the release!] This is a patch release, mainly fixing bugs, but with a few new features too. Most likely, this will be the last of the 0.62 series, 0.63 is getting pretty stable now. Here's the top of the CHANGES file: CHANGES...
