[the new p0f] P0f v2 is a versatile passive OS fingerprinting tool. P0f can identify the operating system on: - machines that connect to your box (SYN mode),- machines you connect to (SYN+ACK mode), - machine you cannot connect to (RST+ mode), - machines whose communications you can observe. P0f can also do many other tricks, and can detect or measure the following: - firewall presence or masquerading (useful for policy enforcement), - the distance to the remote system and its uptime, - other guy's network hookup (DSL, OC3, avian carriers) and his ISP. All this even when the device in question is behind an overzealous packet firewall, when our favourite active scanner can't do much. P0f does not generate ANY additional network traffic, direct or indirect. No name look... in Public bookmarkswith p0fversatilepassivefingerprintingtoolidentifyoperatingsystemby 2 users

Cricket Home Cricket is a high performance, extremely flexible system for monitoring trends in time-series data. Cricket was expressly developed to help network managers visualize and understand the traffic on their networks, but it can be used all kinds of other jobs, as well. Cricket has two components, a collector and a grapher. The collector runs from cron every 5 minutes (or at a different rate, if you want), and stores data into a datastructure managed by RRD Tool. Later, when you want to check on the data you have collected, you can use a web-based interface to view graphs of the data. Cricket reads a set of config files called a config tree. The config tree expresses everything Cricket needs to know about the types of data to be collected, how to get ... in linuxwith linuxcricketperformanceextremelyflexiblesystemmonitoringtrendsby 5 users

How to restore a hacked Linux server | MDLog:/sysadmin Every sysadmin will try its best to secure the system/s he is managing. Hopefully you never had to restore your own system from a compromise and you will not have to do this in the future. Working on several projects to restore a compromised Linux system for various clients, I have developed a set of rules that others might find useful in similar situations. The type of hacks encountered can be very variate and you might see very different ones than the one I will present, or I have seen live, but even so, this rules might be used as a starting point to develop your own recovery plan. maxpower in Public bookmarkswith sysadmintrysecuresystemmanaginghopefullyrestorecompromise

KDE::Enterprise Homepage - Allowing users to override system settings is not always desirable. To keep administration headaches to a minimum, many corporate IT departments define a standard system configuration, and lock down systems so users can't alter set policies. Traditional UNIX-style file permissions are one tool for locking down a Linux desktop, but support is still required from the applications to prevent users from affecting and using local configurations.KDE provides support for policy-controlled configurations via the KDE kiosk framework, which debuted in KDE 3.0. Work on the kiosk framework was originally inspired by the requirements of public access terminals, where locking down the system is mandatory. While adapting KDE for kiosks, it was quickly realized that... K Desktop Environment Homepage, KDE.org in Public bookmarkswith allowingusersoverridesystemsettingsalwaysdesirableadministration

LIDS Project - download The Linux Intrusion Detection System is a patch which enhances the kernel's security. When it is in effect, chosen files access, all system/network administration operations, any capability use, raw device, mem, and I/O access can be made impossible even for root. You can define which program can access which file. It uses and extends the system capabilities bounding set to control the whole system and adds some network and filesystem security features to the kernel to enhance the security. You can finely tune the security protections online, hide sensitive processes, receive security alerts through the network, and more. in Public bookmarkswith linuxintrusiondetectionsystempatchenhanceskernelssecurity

Simplify data extraction using Linux text utilities Much of Linux system administration involves tediously combing through plain-text configuration files. Fortunately, Linux has a rich array of UNIX-derived data extraction utilities, including head, tail, grep, egrep, fgrep, cut, paste, join, awk, and more. This article uses real-world examples that show how these simple command-line programs can make you a better sysadmin. This article looks at each data extraction utility and its options, applies them to typical files that are used in day-to-day work, and looks at how and why each tool is useful for pulling data from these files. in Public bookmarkswith linuxsystemadministrationinvolvestediouslycombingplain-textfiles
