security awareness
- physical and network attacks
- [[security]]
Computer/Internet hazards
- SPAM/UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email)
- Phishing
- Disk crashes/data loss
- Loss of services due to outage
- TCP/IP spoofing and sniffing (privacy)
- Pornography
- Ignorant users
- Grumpy (former) employees
- Administrators of the untrained kind
broken symlink
- broken symlilnk/softlink can be a risk
- If it is pointing to a location that is accessible by an attacker, it ends up retrieving a file belong to the attacker.
- If it is a web server, you end up retrieve and present the attackers information.
- Solution: NO_FOLLOW flag to stop following the symlink.
Roles in network community
- Important roles include users, hosts, network components e.g. routers and operating systems.
- Users - should be trained to be aware of the community. Human beings are usually the weakest link.
- Host machines - should be allocated different tasks on different server machines
- Routers/gateways
- affect network security and performance
- OS - have different pros and cons
- UNIX/Linux, Windows, MAC OS, Netware
Host Management
- Shutting down a host
- Turn off the power?
- Should use command shutdown
- shutdown -h time halt the system. time can be now.
- shutdown -r time reboot the system
- Log files and audits: health barometer of a host
- syslogd: a daemon for logging messages. Its configuration file is /etc/syslog.conf
- dmesg: check kernel messages
- lastlog: check the last login time of every user
- syslog under /var/log: the log file of the system
- They should be rotated regularly
User Management
- User account
- Includes all the files, resources, and info belonging to one user. For commercial systems, it may include billing info.
- Create a new account
- adduser
- Account info: username, password, user id, group id, full name of user, home directory, login shell
- In the /etc/passwd file,
- Amber:x:1000:100:Amber Dawn:/home/amber:/bin/bash
- Check after adding
- Involved files
- /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow
- In /etc/shadow,
- Chloe:$2a$05$wa7xVOqOH4lVOrh.qa9ivSX0G0QUCFqbk11YV6:14743:0:99999:7:::
- Username:encrypted password:last password change:minimum:expiration:warning:disabled:diabled date:reserved
- User login environment
- .bash_profile, .bashrc, /etc/profile
- Place global files such as profile under /etc
- Other scripts can be referred in it
- Use env/set to check/set your environment
- Paths and prompts
- Keep a copy of your shell scripts (initial setups) in order to survive them from upgrade of OS/software
- For more detailed info, man bash
- Password
- Very important for security
- Should not be names of persons, books, places, your computer, nor your phone number, birthday, car registration plate, login name, words in dictionaries, keyboard sequence
- Should be composed of letters (lower and upper cases), digits, and special characters like $,@
- Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength
- passwd imposes similar rules to make passwords secure.
- Change frequently
- User id and group id
- Users should be divided into groups for security reasons, e.g. students, staff, admin
- Special users/groups: nobody, mail, ftp
- addgroup
- In /etc/group,
- video:x:33:hzy,paul,kai
- Group name:password:group id;list of members
- Remove a user: deluser The relevant lines from /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow will be removed. It is a good idea to first disable the account before you start removing stuff
- Disable a user temporarily A better way when you are not sure if a user will come back Way 1: Put an * in the password field of /etc/shadow Way 2: use passwd -{l|u} username Way 3: Change the login shell to a script file
