Securing Debian Manual Securing Debian Manual Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña <[email protected]> ‘Authors’ on this page Version: 3.13, Sun, 30 Jan 2011 19:58:16 +0000 Abstract This document describes security in the Debian project and in the Debian operating system. Starting with the process of securing and hardening the default Debian GNU/Linux distribu- tion installation, it also covers some of the common tasks to set up a secure network environ- ment using Debian GNU/Linux, gives additional information on the security tools available and talks about how security is enforced in Debian by the security and audit team.

  • Configuracion De Un Servidor Proxy Para Filtrado De Contenidos Web En Ubuntu Linux
    Configuracion de un Servidor Proxy para Filtrado de Contenidos Web en Ubuntu Linux ¿Qué es un Proxy? «Proxy» tiene un significado muy general y al mismo tiempo ambiguo, sinónimo del concepto de «Intermediario». Se suele traducir como delegado o apoderado. Un Servidor Intermediario (Proxy) se define como una computadora o dispositivo que ofrece un servicio de red que consiste en permitir a los clientes realizar conexiones de red indirectas hacia otros servicios de red. Durante el proceso ocurre lo siguiente: -Cliente se conecta hacia un Servidor Intermediario (Proxy). -Cliente solicita una conexión, fichero u otro recurso disponible en un servidor distinto. -Servidor Intermediario (Proxy) proporciona el recurso ya sea conectándose hacia el servidor especificado o sirviendo éste desde un caché. -En algunos casos el Servidor Intermediario (Proxy) puede alterar la solicitud del cliente o bien la respuesta del servidor para diversos propósitos. Los Servidores Intermediarios (Proxies) generalmente se hacen trabajar simultáneamente como muro cortafuegos operando en el Nivel de Red, actuando como filtro de paquetes, como en el caso de IPTABLES, o bien operando en el Nivel de Aplicación, controlando diversos servicios, como es el caso de TCP Wrapper. Dependiendo del contexto, el muro cortafuegos también se conoce como BPD o Border Protection Device o simplemente filtro de paquetes. Tipos de Proxy ● Proxy de web / Proxy cache de web ● Proxies transparentes ● Reverse Proxy ● Proxy NAT (Network Address Translation) / Enmascaramiento ● Proxy Abierto ¿Que es Squid? Squid es un programa de software libre que implementa un servidor proxy y un demonio para caché de páginas web. Está especialmente diseñado para ejecutarse bajo entornos tipo Unix.

Please provide any documentation and/or citations that will support any of the factual assertions you make in answering these questions. The opponents of the exemption do not believe any exemption is justified because there is no supporting record to justify it. The opponents further believe that a narrowed exemption designed to exclude "security suite" applications that include lists of blocked websites would unfairly render the databases of some vendors of lists of blocked websites with protection and others without on an arbitrary basis.

Usar um proxy é diferente de simplesmente compartilhar a conexão diretamente, via NAT. Ao compartilhar via NAT, os micros da rede acessam a internet diretamente, sem restrições. O servidor apenas repassa as requisições recebidas, como um garoto de recados. O proxy é como um burocrata que não se limita a repassar as requisições: ele analisa todo o tráfego de dados, separando o que pode ou não pode passar e guardando informações para uso posterior. Compartilhar a conexão via NAT é mais simples do que usar um proxy como o Squid sob vários aspectos. Você compartilha a conexão no servidor, configura os clientes para o utilizarem como gateway e pronto. Ao usar um proxy, além da configuração da rede, é necessário configurar o navegador e cada outro programa que for acessar a Internet (em cada um dos clientes da rede) para usar o proxy.

  • Debug Register Rootkits a Study of Malicious Use of the IA-32 Debug Registers
    DV1446 – Kandidatarbete i Datavetenskap Bachelor Thesis in Computer Science – Security Engineering Debug register rootkits A study of malicious use of the IA-32 debug registers May 2012 Authors: Emil Persson, Joel Mattsson Supervisor: Ewa Osekowska School of Computing Blekinge Institute of Technology This thesis is submitted to the School of Computing at Blekinge Institute of Technology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. The thesis is equivalent to 20 weeks of half time studies. Contact Information: Authors: Emil Persson E-mail: [email protected] Joel Mattsson E-mail: [email protected] University advisor: Ewa Osekowska E-mail: [email protected] School of Computing Blekinge Institute of Technology Internet : www.bth.se/com SE–371 79 Karlskrona Phone : +46 455 38 50 00 Sweden Fax : +46 455 38 50 57 Abstract The debug register rootkit is a special type of rootkit that has existed for over a decade, and is told to be undetectable by any scanning tools. It exploits the debug registers in Intel’s IA-32 processor architecture. This paper investigates the debug register rootkit to find out why it is considered a threat, and which malware removal tools have implemented detection algorithms against this threat. By implementing and running a debug register rootkit against the most popular Linux tools, new conclusions about the protection of the Linux system can be reached. Recently, debug register rootkits were found on Windows as well. This project intends to bring knowledge about the problem and investigate if there are any threats.

There are a number of well-written and often brilliant documents providing overviews, how-to's and faqs on FreeBSD security for the practical systems administrator, but there is no to-the-point, checklist that can be a tool for each time a server is built.

  • Métodos Para Detecção Local De Rootkits E Módulos De Kernel Maliciosos Em Sistemas Unix
    MÉTODOS PARA DETECÇÃO LOCAL DE ROOTKITS E MÓDULOS DE KERNEL MALICIOSOS EM SISTEMAS UNIX Nelson Murilo Klaus Steding-Jessen Pangéia Informática NIC BR Security Office SRTS 701, 70 cj E, sala 304 Rua Hum, 45 Caixa Postal 6146 70340-902 Brasília-DF 13083-970 Campinas-SP [email protected] [email protected] RESUMO Rootkits são ferramentas utilizadas com freqüência por invasores para ocultar sua presença em máquinas comprometidas, fazendo parte inclusive de alguns Worms e ferramentas de DDoS. Uma invasão pode passar meses sem ser descoberta graças a essas ferramentas. Além das versões tradicionais, rootkits vem sendo imple- mentados também sob a forma de módulos de kernel (LKMs), dificultando a sua detecção. Este artigo descreve o funcionamento desses dois tipos de rootkit, alguns métodos para sua detecção em sistemas Unix e uma ferramenta de código aberto, implementada pelos autores, para detecção automatizada de rootkits. ABSTRACT Rootkits are a very popular technique among intruders to hide themselves in compromised machines. Some rootkits are also used by Worms and DDoS tools. An intrusion can remain undetected for months when such a tool is used by an attacker. Rootkits are also being implemented as Loadable Kernel Modules (LKMs), making them much harder to detect. This paper describes the traditional as well as the LKM-based rootkit and presents some rootkit detection methods for Unix machines. This paper also presents an open source tool, developed by the authors, to detect rootkits. 1 INTRODUÇÃO evolução dos rootkits, seguido da descrição dos com- ponentes e funcionamento dos rootkits tradicionais e Com a popularização de ferramentas de ataque au- também dos implementados sob a forma de LKMs.
