Cuando se inicia una máquina Linux, se ejecuta un código incorporado, el cuál es cargado desde la BIOS o UEFI, seguido del bootloader, que carga un kernel de Linux según la configuración que tenga. El kernel carga los controladores e inicia init como primer proceso (con PID 1). El diseño de init tuvo una discrepancia entre los sistemas Unix System V y BSD. En el esquema System V se usa /etc/inittab para establecer los runlevels disponibles, los cuales determinan el nivel de ejecución del sistema. Cada runlevel determina el subconjunto de servicios o daemons que serán iniciados durante el inicio del sistema, aunque el runlevel 0 y el 6 estan reservados para apagar y reiniciar el sistema respectivamente. En el init de BSD se ejecuta el script de inicialización /etc/rc y no existen runlevels sino que dicho archivo /etc/rc determina qué servicios se inician. La ventaja de este sistema es que es simple y fácil de mantener pero es propenso a errores dado que un mínimo error en el script puede detener el inicio del sistema. 1.2 Necesidad de una alternativa El sistema init tenía limitaciones en su diseño, como por ejemplo que los servicios se iniciaban de forma secuencial, lo que provocaba largos tiempos de inicio del sistema, o que si un servicio fallaba el proceso de inicio se quedaba bloqueado. Estos ejemplos sumados otros defectos de diseño motivaron la creación de systemd, que fue pensado para mejorar la eficiencia del proceso de inicio init de System V. [1][2] 1 Capítulo 2 ¿Qué es systemd? Tal y como lo definen sus autores, se trata de un ”bloque de construcción básico” para unsistema operativo, en una definición un poco más formal, es un conjunto de daemons de administración de sistema, bibliotecas y herramientas que fueron diseñados para interactuar con el núcleo del sistema operativo GNU/Linux. Es el primer proceso en el arranque de Linux que se ejecuta en el espacio de usuario, por lo que también se considera el proceso padre de todos los procesos hijos que existen en dicho espacio. Es importante resaltar que se trata de un software libre y de código abierto y que uno de sus principales objetivos es unificar configuraciones básicas de Linux y los comportamientos de servicios en todaslas distribuciones. [3] 2.1 Un poco de historia Systemd fue desarrollado en un inicio por Lennart Poettering y Kay Sievers, entre otros, ambos son ingenieros de software que trabajaban para Red Hat e iniciaron el desarrollo de systemd enel2010, con él intentaron superar las eficiencias de daemon de inico de varias formas: • Mejorar el marco de software para expresar las dependencias. • Permitir que se realicen un mayor número de procesamientos en paralelo durante el arranque del sistema. • Reducir la sobrecarga computacional del shell. A lo largo de los años systemd se ha convertido en el sistema de inicio predeterminado de dis- tintas distribuciones de Linux, pero destacar que fue Fedora, en el año 2011, la primera distribución importante de Linux en habilitar systemd de manera predeterminada. 2 CAPÍTULO 2. ¿QUÉ ES SYSTEMD? Para terminar mencionar que en 2015 systemd comenzó a proporcionar un shell de inicio de se- sión, invocable mediante machinectl shell 2.1 y a lo largo de años posteriores se han ido detectando diversos bugs de seguridad que permitían realizar ataques DoS 1 contra systemd. Figura 2.1: Ejemplo ejecución machinectl shell. A continuación mostramos algunos ejemplos de ejecución con el comando ”systemd”. En esta primera figura 2.2 vemos como al utilizar el comando systemd-analyze nos muestra infor- mación de las estadísticas de rendimiento de arranque del sistema. Figura 2.2: Ejemplo ejecución systemd-analyze. Ahora, en la siguiente imagen 2.3 al utilizar el comando systemd-analyze blame nos imprime una lista de todas las unidades en ejecución, ordenadas por el tiempo que tardaron en inicializarse. 1 DoS: Denial of Service 3 CAPÍTULO 2. ¿QUÉ ES SYSTEMD? Figura 2.3: Ejemplo ejecución systemd-analyze-blame. Y por último con el uso del comando systemd-analyze critical-chain en la figura 2.4 se observa como imprime un árbol de la cadena de unidades de tiempo crítico(para cada una de las UNIDADES especificadas o para el objetivo predeterminado en caso contrario). Además después del caracter ’@’, se imprime El tiempo después de que la unidad esté activa o iniciada. Figura 2.4: Ejemplo ejecución systemd-analyze-critical-chain. 4 Capítulo 3 Units Todo lo que es gestionado por systemd se llama ”unit” y cada una de ellas es descrita por un archivo de configuración propio que tendrá una extensión distinta conforme al tipo de unidad tratada[4]: • .service: fichero que describe la configuración de un demonio. • .socket: describe la configuración de un socket(tipo UNIX o TCP/IP) asociada a un .service. • .device: describe un dispositivo hardware reconocido por el kernel que esté gestionado por systemd. • .mount: describe un punto de montaje gestionado por systemd. • .automount:describe un punto de automontaje asociado a un .mount. • .swap: describe una partición o archivo de intercambio gestionado por systemd. • .target: describe un grupo de Units. • .path: describe una carpeta o archivo monitorizado por la API Inotify delk kernel. • .timer: describe la temporización de una tarea programada con el programador systemd. • .slice: describe un grupo de Units asociadas a procesos para administrar y limitar los recursos comunes (CPU, memoria…). Además utiliza internamente los ”cgroups” del kernel. Los archivos de configuración de las Units pueden estar repartidos en tres carpetas distintas: • /usr/lib/systemd/system : Para units proporcionadas por los paquetes instalados en el sistema. • /run/systemd/system : Para units generadas en tiempo real durante la ejecución del sistema. Son no persistentes. • /etc/systemd/system : Para units proporcionadas por el administrador del sistema. 5 Capítulo 4 Compatibilidad de systemd con SysV Systemd, al igual que Upstart(reemplazo basado en eventos para el daemon init, método utilizado por varios sistemas operativos Unix-like para realizar tareas durante el arranque del sistema) ofrece compatibilidad con SysV (comando service y chkconfig) para aquellos servicios que aún soportan o funcionan únicamente con scripts de inicio SysV (aunque actualmente no hay muchos servicios que lo hagan)[5]. Upstart pese a mantener compatibilidad con los comandos service y chkconf de SysV implementó su propia utilidad para la administración de servicios, de igual modo systemd lo hace con la herramienta systemctl. SysV habilitaba servicios con chkconfig (o reproducía listas de estos para ver cuál de ellos se ejecutaba al arranque), algo que ahora bajo systemd podemos hacer con los siguientes comandos: Para habilitar el servicio httpd al arranque del sistema: • systemctl enable httpd.service Para listar todas las unidades de servicios instaladas: • systemctl list-unit-files

  • Limiting Ptrace on Production Linux Systems
    1 LIMITING PTRACE ON PRODUCTION LINUX SYSTEMS INTRODUCTION The Linux®2 kernel is the core component of a family of operating systems that underpin a large portion of government and commercial servers and infrastructure devices. Due to the prevalence of Linux systems in public and private infrastructure, ensuring system security by following community best practices to address current threats and risks is critical. In Linux, ptrace is a mechanism that allows one process to “trace” the execution of another process. The tracer is able to pause execution, and inspect and modify memory and registers in the tracee process: in short, the tracer maintains total control over the tracee. The legitimate use case for this functionality is debugging and troubleshooting. Utilities like strace and gdb use ptrace to perform their introspection duties. Not surprisingly, malicious implants sometimes use this functionality to steal secrets from another process or to force them into serving as proxies for anomalous behavior. PROPOSAL Production systems rarely need to use debugging utilities. For this reason, it is often safe to remove the ability to perform ptrace-related functions, at least in normal operational mode. The YAMA Linux Security Module, included in most Linux distributions, can be used to remove the ability for any process to ptrace another. To configure systems to automatically do this on boot, create a service file in /etc/systemd/system with the following contents: [Unit] Description=Removes, system-wide, the ability to ptrace ConditionKernelCommandLine=!maintenance [Service] Type=forking Execstart=/bin/bash –c “sysctl -w kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=3” Execstop= [Install] WantedBy=default.target Ensure that the service file created has read and execute permissions for the owner and group.
