Sysadmin Diaries - Day 18

Today’s quick tip,checking for critical security patches. Today I was checking some RHEL servers for security fixes that could be applied. Here’s how I did it.

For RHEL 6 , need to check yum-security-plugin is installed (for RHEL 7 it has been incorporated into yum)

#rpm -qa | grep yum-plugin-security yum-plugin-security-1.1.30-14.el6.noarch

Check for critical security updates

# yum --security --sec-severity=Critical check-update Loaded plugins: package_upload, product-id, security, subscription-manager This system is receiving updates from Red Hat Subscription Management. rhel-6-server-rpms | 2.0 kB 00:00 rhel-6-server-rpms/primary | 29 MB 00:00 rhel-6-server-rpms 18431/18431 Limiting package lists to security relevant ones rhel-6-server-rpms/updateinfo | 3.3 MB 00:00 23 package(s) needed for security, out of 585 available glibc.i686 2.12-1.192.el6 rhel-6-server-rpms glibc.x86_64 2.12-1.192.el6 rhel-6-server-rpms glibc-common.x86_64 2.12-1.192.el6 rhel-6-server-rpms glibc-devel.x86_64 2.12-1.192.el6 rhel-6-server-rpms glibc-headers.x86_64 2.12-1.192.el6 rhel-6-server-rpms java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.6.0.41-1.13.13.1.el6_8 rhel-6-server-rpms java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64 1:1.7.0.121-2.6.8.1.el6_8 rhel-6-server-rpms libsmbclient.x86_64 3.6.23-36.el6_8 rhel-6-server-rpms nscd.x86_64 2.12-1.192.el6 rhel-6-server-rpms nspr.x86_64 4.11.0-1.el6 rhel-6-server-rpms nss.x86_64 3.21.3-2.el6_8 rhel-6-server-rpms nss-sysinit.x86_64 3.21.3-2.el6_8 rhel-6-server-rpms nss-tools.x86_64 3.21.3-2.el6_8 rhel-6-server-rpms nss-util.x86_64 3.21.3-1.el6_8 rhel-6-server-rpms ruby.x86_64 1.8.7.374-4.el6_6 rhel-6-server-rpms ruby-libs.x86_64 1.8.7.374-4.el6_6 rhel-6-server-rpms samba.x86_64 3.6.23-36.el6_8 rhel-6-server-rpms samba-client.x86_64 3.6.23-36.el6_8 rhel-6-server-rpms samba-common.x86_64 3.6.23-36.el6_8 rhel-6-server-rpms samba-winbind.x86_64 3.6.23-36.el6_8 rhel-6-server-rpms samba-winbind-clients.x86_64 3.6.23-36.el6_8 rhel-6-server-rpms samba4-libs.x86_64 4.2.10-7.el6_8 rhel-6-server-rpms xulrunner.x86_64 17.0.10-1.el6_4 rhel-6-server-rpms

Linux in Servers. 12 Realities (chapter 1)

Linux OS in Servers is the age-old battle of the operating systems that caused many flame wars, disagreements and almost fanatical behaviour on forums and blogs for what seems like forever. We think it is important to stress that as best and great part of Linux OS and also its rapid improvements and development in the last decade. Here, we will showcase a fair view of where Linux excels.

Operating System — It Matters

Of course, Linux servers have different performance, security, pricing, database formats, and other features that will influence the functions of your server and hosting.

The most convenient tool you will find in any operating systems is the FTP server. It's easy and fast. Any OS are friendly with such popular file types as HTML (.html) and JavaScript (.js).

Indeed, Linux is extremely convenient. That's one of the main reasons why this OS is the most popular server solution. The convenience of Linux servers has these key components: MySQL, PHP, Apache / Nginx, and price.

Most Valuable - Always

Linux is not cheaper. it is best. Most distributions of this OS cost nothing. Some OS versions like RedHat, SUSE, Ubuntu will have many special features created for better server performance, so they will have a price, but it's not high as compared to that of others.

Essentially, Linux is great for start-up and SMB: you get a flexible system, popular coding and database formats, low price, liberty to optimize as per your requirement and more.

You can technically download and run Linux OS in your data centre for absolutely nothing, but businesses and enterprise will need support services in case things go off the rails, and those aren't free. With that being said, however, Linux is almost always cheaper to run than any other server platform, as there are no per-seat licensing costs.

You have - control of what it does.

Linux or GNU/Linux is open-source; You can check the code to locate bugs, explore security vulnerabilities, or simply study what that code is doing on your machine(s). You can tailor a Linux operating system at its most basic levels, to suit your server needs. You may easily develop and install your programs into a Linux operating system.

IT professionals supporting open source have a lot of negativity for other OS platform developers because they don't offer flexibility in the same way as Linux OS, perhaps vigorously policing their platform and directing sysadmins towards what they can and can't do with their servers.

Linux OS offers a get-out for this closed ecosystem, allowing businesses to use multiple vendors to provide their services and avoiding the dreaded vendor lock-in. Organisations moving to a Linux-only environment may well find the services they once relied on aren't supported by Linux. But, if they are preplanned with expert guidance and accepted to learn new things, tons of Linux OS platform supporting applications available to succeed in the transition; also, you may choose cloud software offering, which is OS & Device -independent and running in web browsers.

Stable - Yet Powerful Platform.

Linux OS platform is designed to provide an environment that’s powerful, stable and reliable yet easy to use. Linux systems are widely known for their stability and reliability, many Linux servers on the Internet have been running for years without failure or even being restarted.

Technically speaking, management of the system, programs’ and process configurations, security implementations among others makes Linux systems more stable. In Linux OS, you can modify a system or program configuration file and effect the changes without rebooting the server.

Despite numerous improvements to other OS platforms over the past decade, many experts still view the Linux OS as a more stable and reliable operating system platform for servers, with a lower risk of crashes and errors. Linux OS can also handle more simultaneous processes and don't need to be restarted as frequently, leading to less overall downtime.

As Secure as Rock-Solid

Linux is, the most secure kernel out there, making Linux based operating systems secure and suitable for servers and hosting. Linux OS implements a variety of security mechanisms to secure files and services from attacks and abuses.

open-source software in general that they're inherently more secure than their counterparts. because everyone is free to examine the source code, bugs are found more quickly and patches can be pushed out by the community, without waiting for the manufacturer to roll out a fix. It must be said that Linux OS generally has less colossal security blunders than other operating systems, and is often held to be more resilient by cybersecurity experts.

Linux OS platform, fortunately, has curated apps within application stores or repositories, and the open-source nature of Linux OS means that anyone can review the code if they understand what they are looking for. Linux systems come with an option of built-in military-grade encryption, and businesses can be sure that device theft poses no real problem to data.

Software Store - for a straightforward approach

Software store or repo is a primary storage location from which software or application packages may be retrieved and installed on a server. Historically, the software was provided either via FTP or mailing lists (eventually this distribution would grow to include basic websites).

Getting software and applications on Linux OS is easier than on other OS platforms. The vast majority of programs that you may want/need to install are all centrally located in what is called software repo (repositories). Rather than searching the web, downloading programs from various sites (some of which may not be reliable), running the installer, rebooting, etc., available software is all centrally located and available for installation in seconds. The packages/programs in the repo are tested, approved for inclusion in the repos and securely signed to ensure their validity.

Linux adopted this early the practice of maintaining a centralized location where users could find and install the software. This trend is now supported by all other OS platforms (ex: iOS, Android ..etc) and developers as well. Many software developers and organizations maintain repo servers on the Internet for this purpose, either free of charge or for a subscription fee. Linux OS software packages automatically configure the repo settings necessary to keep your Linux OS applications up-to-date.

More clarification is in next chapter.

How to Install Cockpit on Ubuntu 18.04

This article was originally published on Alibaba Cloud. Thank you for supporting the partners who make SitePoint possible.

Cockpit is a server manager that makes it easy to administer your GNU/Linux servers via a web browser. It makes Linux discoverable, allowing sysadmins to easily perform tasks such as starting containers, storage administration, network configuration, inspecting logs and so on.

Cockpit provides convenient switching between the terminal and the web tool. A service started via Cockpit can be stopped via the terminal. Likewise, if an error occurs in the terminal, it can be seen in the Cockpit journal interface. Using Cockpit you can monitor and administer several servers at the same time. Just add it easily and your server will look after its buddies.

Cockpit is released under the LGPL v2.1+, and it is available for Redhat, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Atomic, and Arch Linux. Cockpit is compatible and works well with Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) servers. In this tutorial, I will be installing Cockpit on an ECS with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installed on it. Until Ubuntu 18.04 matures and is included in Alibaba Cloud's library of operating system images, we can upgrade Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04 by using the do-release-upgrade utility.

Prerequisites

You must have Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) activated and verified your valid payment method. If you are a new user, you can get a free account in your Alibaba Cloud account. If you don't know about how to setup your ECS instance, you can refer to this tutorial or quick-start guide.

You should set up your server's hostname.

Access to VNC console in your Alibaba Cloud or SSH client installed in your PC.

After completing the prerequisites, log in as root user with your root username & password via SSH client (e.g. Putty) or VNC console available in your Alibaba Cloud account dashboard.

Install Cockpit on Ubuntu 18.04

Cockpit is included in Ubuntu 18.04, so you can just use apt command to install it.

sudo apt update

Install the Cockpit package.

sudo apt -y install cockpit

Start and enable the Cockpit.

sudo systemctl start cockpit.socket sudo systemctl enable cockpit.socket

Working with Cockpit

Once you start the Cockpit service, it will start listening on port 9090. Now, open up your browser and navigate it to below URL.

https://ip-address:9090

Cockpit uses a self-signed SSL certificate for secure communication. So, you need to add an exception in your browser to access the Cockpit.

If the user is a non-privileged user and has sudo access, then tick mark Reuse my password for privileged tasks.

We must now insert our credentials in the related input fields and click on the Log In button. Once logged in we will be redirected to the main cockpit page:

Let's take a look at it. The main page section shows us some information about the machine we are running on, as the hardware, hostname, operating system and system time. In this case I am running Ubuntu on a virtual machine, therefore the value of the hardware section is QEMU Standard Pc.

We also have a dropdown menu which let us perform a power option on the system as restart or shutdown. On the right we can see some graphs which let us monitoring crucial system activities, in order: CPU and memory usage, disk activity and network traffic.

The Logs Section

In the left column menu, just below the system section, we can click on logs to access to the page dedicated to system logs. Here, at the top of the page, we have two nice menus which let us filter the logs by period of time and severity, choosing between problems, notices, warnings and errors.

The post How to Install Cockpit on Ubuntu 18.04 appeared first on SitePoint.

This hacker is ranking software program safety Client Reviews-style

New Post has been published on https://takenews.net/this-hacker-is-ranking-software-program-safety-client-reviews-style/

This hacker is ranking software program safety Client Reviews-style

The poor safety of a lot enterprise software program might be dramatically improved at low price with the compile-time equivalents of seatbelts and airbags. With that in thoughts, the Cyber Unbiased Testing Lab (CITL) is constructing a Client Reviews-style ranking programs to grade the safety of hundreds of software program binaries.

Based by l0pht hacker and former head of cybersecurity analysis at DARPA Peiter “Mudge” Zatko, and bankrolled with seed funding from the US Air Pressure, the CITL introduced their methodology and a few preliminary outcomes on the 34c3 hacker convention in Leipzig, Germany just a few weeks in the past.

“It is ridiculous,” Tim Carstens, performing director of the CITL, says. “On the enterprise scale, you’ve got simply obtained 100 thousand completely different binaries working in other places, and a few infinitesimal fraction of that has the newest safety features, and most of it is not compiled in a approach that allows these trivial defenses.”

Whereas fundamental compile-time safety features like ASLR or DEP will not be silver bullets, they do make an attacker’s job rather more troublesome. The huge quantity of low-hanging fruit that attackers at present take pleasure in might be taken away from them, and at low price to software program distributors and enterprise safety directors. “At scale plenty of actually fundamental defenses should not current,” Carstens says. “Main distributors’ software program doesn’t have stack execution prevention or heap overflow prevention enabled, and that is software program that has an assault floor.”

To unravel this downside, the CITL is constructing a guidelines of compile-time safety greatest practices. “For software program distributors, the primary query I might pose to them is, what’s their pre-release course of on their gold picture?” Carstens says. “What’s their prerelease guidelines? Examine for the presence of compiler hardening options like ASLR and DEP, issues in that class.”

To encourage distributors to prioritize safety, the CITL is mass testing hundreds of publicly-available binaries in opposition to their guidelines, and plans to publish Client Reviews-style rankings. Enterprise safety directors will be capable to use the CITL’s rankings to determine weaknesses of their infrastructure and to demand safer software program from their suppliers.

“Are you aware what software program is working in your setting?” Carstens asks CSOs and CISOs. “How a lot have you learnt about that software program? Have a course of in place. That is a program you possibly can spin up, and you are going to get some worth you possibly can present your board.”

Measuring software program safety seems to be a extremely laborious downside, and it begins with deciding learn how to outline the phrase “safety.” On the CITL’s speak in December at 34c3, Carstens in contrast measuring software program safety to prospecting for diamonds. Since diamonds are fairly uncommon, prospectors look as a substitute for minerals which might be typically discovered close to diamonds–such as garnet, diopside, and chromite. In the identical approach, since measuring safety in some absolute approach could also be not possible, the CITL takes a extra pragmatic strategy, and as a substitute asks, “How troublesome is it for an attacker to discover a new exploit for this software program?”

“Am I reaching in the direction of the Platonic ideally suited of safety? Completely not,” Carstens says. “The issues we’re reporting on presently, we’re measuring very conservative issues. I’ve by no means met a dissenter who stated you should not search for ASLR, for instance.”

Utilizing a customized fuzzer that’s nonetheless below growth, the CITL assessments binaries and charges them based mostly on their complexity, software armoring, and developer hygiene. The extra complicated the code, the extra doubtless it’s to include safety flaws. Builders who use the C strcpy and strcat capabilities, the CITL causes, doubtless have not given safety a lot thought. Utility armoring consists of compile-time defenses like stack guards, ASLR, and code signing.

The CITL documentation compares these software armoring options to airbags and seatbelts in automobiles. “Fashionable compilers, linkers, and loaders include numerous nifty security options — issues which might be confirmed to enhance security and whose use ought to be established by now as industry-standard. In case your automotive does not have airbags, you are entitled to know that before you purchase it.”

To forestall software program distributors from gaming the ranking system, the CITL is publishing its guidelines, however not the fuzzing instruments they use to fee the software program itself. It hopes to see a number of implementations of its guidelines and thus broader take a look at protection throughout the .

Impressed by the CITL, Fedora Linux is working to do exactly that.

Fedora Linux consists of tens of hundreds of packages, together with many binaries. Making certain these binaries meet minimal safety necessities would considerably enhance the safety posture of Fedora and its downstream companions, RedHat and CentOS, Jason Callaway, the Fedora Crimson Crew Particular Curiosity Group (SIG) chief, realized.

“The objective of the SIG is to turn into Fedora’s upstream cybersecurity neighborhood,” he says. “What CITL is doing is analyzing the quantity of effort it could take for a researcher to doubtlessly discover one other zero-day in that given binary.”

Callaway’s first launch goal is an open supply fuzzer that can crack open rpms, scan them for elf binaries, carry out assessments, after which report the outcomes. The mission, he admits, is “light-years” behind the CITL’s efforts. “We’re probably not prepared to speak about our findings,” he says. “I do not belief my very own knowledge but.”

Callaway’s SIG can also be engaged on a device for Fedora/RHEL/CentOS admins known as elem, brief for the Enterprise Linux Exploit Mapper. The objective of elem, Callaway explains, is to make it simple for sysadmins to shortly assess an rpm-based Linux server in opposition to a database of recognized exploits.

“Crimson and blue groups are two sides of the identical coin,” Callaway says. “Despite the fact that [red team] is the identify of the SIG, you possibly can’t actually successfully do blue workforce stuff with out additionally doing the crimson workforce stuff.”

Mixed with the still-nascent Fedora implementation of CITL’s work, Callaway hopes to considerably enhance the safety posture of Fedora and its downstream distributions.

Not everybody agrees that the CITL mannequin of ranking software program safety is a workable concept, nevertheless.

Critics of the CITL argue that there’s a class distinction between defending in opposition to manufacturing defects and in opposition to sabotage. Underwriters Laboratories (now UL) doesn’t embody malicious adversaries once they consider electrical home equipment, nor does Client Reviews fee the roadworthiness of automobiles based mostly on the car’s defenses in opposition to the mafia disabling your brakes. The menace fashions are completely different.

Safety researcher Rob Graham went as far as to name the initiative a “dumb concept” again in 2015, writing: “UL is about unintended failures in electronics. CyberUL could be about intentional assaults in opposition to software program. These are unrelated points. Stopping unintended failures is a solved downside in lots of fields. Stopping assaults is one thing no one has solved in any subject.” (Graham didn’t reply to our requests for remark for this text.)

Carstens acknowledges that Graham has some extent, however means that, given the poor state of software program safety throughout the board, the CITL can however make a giant distinction. “You can fee sure defensive instruments in opposition to an adversary,” Carstens says. “There is a measurable distinction between a metal wall and a cedar plank wall, for instance. An adversary who reveals up and is extra opportunistic, with no tall sufficient ladder or a digging machine, then your metal wall goes to be fairly good.”

“Hitting 100 out of 100 on my take a look at doesn’t imply your software program is invincible,” he provides. “It doesn’t.”

For many years, infosec Cassandras have warned concerning the catastrophic social, political, and financial penalties of rampant insecurity throughout the web. As we speak, because the cyber and bodily realms merge, we could have reached a tipping level. The CITL, in partnership with Client Reviews, Disconnect, and Rating Digital Rights, have proposed a Digital Customary: “The usual defines and displays essential client values that should be addressed in product growth: electronics and software-based merchandise ought to be safe, client data ought to be saved non-public, possession rights of customers ought to be maintained, and merchandise ought to be designed to fight harassment and assist shield freedom of expression.”

These values are based on safe software program design and implementation, and the CITL’s push to fee software program safety at scale affords each a carrot and a follow software program distributors. Like Client Reviews‘ “identify and disgrace” technique of evaluating client home equipment, software program distributors can look ahead to being known as out for failure to deploy a security-focused pre-release guidelines.

That is additionally a chance, Carstens says. “It is such an inexpensive factor for a vendor to do, there is a assured impact. $50,000 for a marketing consultant can repair this for a product group…it occurs to be actually low-cost proper now to steer the pack.”

The transparency at scale the CITL’s rankings database will create means new incentives for software program distributors to get their safety collectively, Carstens hopes. “Solely when the price of poor safety outweighs the price of different incentives will that be constructed into the method.”

This story, “This hacker is ranking software program safety Client Reviews-style” was initially printed by CSO.
