There are three: (port 113), time (port 37), and daytime (port 13).

NTP runs on port 123 using udp

You may deny all or accept all depending on how paranoid you are.

 :input ACCEPT

 :output ACCEPT
 ipchains -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 -i lo -j ACCEPT

This annoying tosser doesn't even get to see our web site***

 ipchains -A input -p tcp -s x.x.x.x -d 0/0 80 -y -j REJECT

Below we block access to port 110 pop3 and ssh so we let a few friends in***

 ipchains -A input -p tcp -s x.x.x.x -d 0/0 110 -y -j ACCEPT

Since we were not paranoid we should block ports not being used.

 ipchains -A input -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 0:19 -y -j REJECT
 ipchains -A input -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 23:24 -y -j REJECT

 ipchains -A input -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 81:1023 -y -j REJECT

You may wish to block udp on all standard ports below 1024

 ipchains -A input -p udp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 0:1023 -j REJECT

Do not reply to ICMP TIMESTAMP packets

 ipchains -A output -j REJECT -i eth0 -p icmp -s x.x.x.x/yy -d 0/0 --icmp-type timestamp-request -l
 ipchains -A output -j REJECT -i eth0 -p icmp -s x.x.x.x/yy -d 0/0 --icmp-type timestamp-reply -l

*ipchains are processed in the order read from the top down. See how IP x.x.x.x is blocked right away. Also, we accept ssh and pop from another IP address x.x.x.x before the port is blocked 3 lines later.

I want to find out what version of bind you are running:

nslookup -q=txt -class=chaos version.bind. <host address>

I want to hide from people what version of bind I am running:

vi /etc/named.conf

options {
        directory "/var/named";
        auth-nxdomain yes;

};

It's the version part that allows you to spoof your bind version.

Go to the end of the line and type single as a separate word (press the [Spacebar] and then type single). Press [Enter] to exit edit mode.

The central concepts are superblock, inode, data block, directory block, and indirection block. The superblock contains information about the filesystem as a whole, such as its size (the exact information here depends on the filesystem). An inode contains all information about a file, except its name. The name is stored in the directory, together with the number of the inode. A directory entry consists of a filename and the number of the inode which represents the file. The inode contains the numbers of several data blocks, which are used to store the data in the file. There is space only for a few data block numbers in the inode, however, and if more are needed, more space for pointers to the data blocks is allocated dynamically. These dynamically allocated blocks are indirect blocks; the name indicates that in order to find the data block, one has to find its number in the indirect block first.

  -j creates journal for ext3 filesystem
  -L specifies volume label

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 25 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

e2label will display or change the filesystem label on the ext2 filesystem located on device.
If the optional argument new-label is not present, e2label will simply display the current filesystem label.

force drive controller down to 16 MB/s Multiword DMA Mode 2, since the corruption problem only happens in UltraDMA mode. Use the following command (as root) to select MWDMA mode 2 for device hda:

hdparm -X34 /dev/hda

(-X66 instead of -X34 goes back to UltraDMA.)

Q: I use iptables, but netstat -M won't show masqueraded connections. How do I see them? A: No support for iptables in netstat, the -M is for ipchains+masquerade. Instead you can type this: 'cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack'

cat /usr/local/sendmail/virtusertable|grep "^user\."|sed s/org.*$/org/

To hide your version of bind, add the following value to named.conf version "[SECURED]" in the options section section as follows:

options {

  directory "/var/named";
  version "[SECURED]";

};

If new hardware is not recognized, a reconfiguration boot might help. During the reconfiguration boot, the anaconda hardware configuration program is run with the --reconfig option.

Directions To perform a reconfiguration boot, create an empty file called /etc/reconfigSys:

Vitesse VSC8201RX VSC8201 VITESSE 8201 onboard ethernet


Ethernet PHY Device

Modern ethernet subsystems are often separated into two pieces, the media access controller (sometimes known as a MAC) and the physical device or line interface (often referred to as a PHY). In this case, the MAC handles generating and parsing physical frames and the PHY handles how this data is actually moved to/from the wire. The MAC and PHY communicate via a special protocol, known as MII. This MII protocol can handle control over the PHY which allows for selection of such transmission criteria as line speed, duplex mode, etc.

Support for the Cicada 8201 PHY, a.k.a Vitesse VSC8201. This PHY is present on the MPC8349mITX.

Ubuntu wants to use the forcedeth driver for the ethernet port
MSI K8NGM2-FID board. Ubuntu wants to use the forcedeth driver for the ethernet port, but (for me) that driver only works if I power down then boot into ubuntu (I dual boot with winxp). If I have been in xp and just reboot into ubuntu, it won't work. So, as a workaround, I have been using the NVIDIA nforce drivers (for the ethernet only, not the sound as it works with the ALSA

driver), and it works fine if you unload both drivers (forcedeth and nvnet), then modprobe nvnet, then reconfigure networking (sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart).

forcedeth 23428 0

compile and use Nvidia's nvnet network driver rather than forcedeth

In g4u Ghost For Unix ghost for unix Now set the IP address by running the command ifconfig <ip address> netmask <subnet mask>. For example, to set the IP address on interface pcn0, you would run ifconfig pcn0 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0. ifconfig xx0 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default 2.3.4.5

Now set the IP address by running the command ifconfig <ip address> netmask <subnet mask>. For example, to set the IP address on interface pcn0, you would run

ifconfig pcn0 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0.


Ports, Protocols, and Daemons

In the /etc/services file you will find a few lines that refer to Samba services:

  1. netbios-ns 137/tcp # NetBIOS Name Service
  2. netbios-ns 137/udp
  3. netbios-dgm 138/tcp # NetBIOS Datagram Service
  4. netbios-dgm 138/udp
  5. netbios-ssn 139/tcp # NetBIOS Session Service
  6. netbios-ssn 139/udp
  7. microsoft-ds 445/tcp # Microsoft Directory Service
  8. microsoft-ds 445/udp

The picture this provides is somewhat deceiving, since the half of those lines could be removed and condensed to:

  • netbios-ns 137/udp # NetBIOS Name Service
  • netbios-dgm 138/udp # NetBIOS Datagram Service
  • netbios-ssn 139/tcp # NetBIOS Session Service
  • microsoft-ds 445/tcp # Microsoft Directory Service

 


Mandriva Live CD

When booting a livecd on a modern sata system with an ide for cdrom, the cdrom fails to mount, no ide found.

  • No ide channels found

The solution: add a kernel parameter at bootloader prompt.

boot: livecd irqprobe all-generic-ide
