  1. Wait... on Pope Urges Priests To Go Forth and Blog · · Score: 1

    The pope is telling people to engage in dialogue with people of different cultures and religions? The same pope that blamed atheists for global warming and "the greatest forms of cruelty and violations of justice" known to mankind?

    That pope?

    You sound as if you think the bible/quran/tnch are peaceful books. I suggest you read them, they're full of rape, pillaging, infanticide, genocide, etc.

    The godhatesfags for instance people are hatemongers, but they're only following the bible to the letter (yes, I'm aware that they too interpret what they read).

  7. OS fingerprint filtering with pf on D-Link Firmware Abuses Open NTP Servers · · Score: 2, Informative

    FreeBSD uses pf (well, it can use pf if you want to) as a packet filter. It has the wonderful option to filter traffic according to the OS fingerprint, as in you can block traffic originating from specific operating systems. I'd advice this guy to block all traffic from these dlink devices.
    If there's no fingerprint on record yet you could generate it yourself, it's not that difficult to generate one.

    FYI [url=http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc& m=110367779309205&w=2]here's the post to misc@ we were talking about[/url] (the one about the ssh patch).

    As you may see Ingo uses pfctl, a tool you can use to control pf, the OpenBSD packet filter. If this patch is committed as is one of the problems will be that it only works on OpenBSD. Adding support for every other conceivable OS's packet filter is not really an option, you sshd may run on a totally different arch than the ssh daemon, so how should sshd know what to do? Please don't say configuration file options.

    One way to solve it would be to add connection rate tracking capabilities to sshd itself, introducing a level of complexity normally only found when creating sound firewalling rulesets.

    Another way would be to parse a logfile of your choice for violations of your choice and feed the resulting IPs to the firewalling ruleset of your choice. Requires a little script (that could be provided by whoever provides you with an operating system) and less configuration than the previous option.

    Personally I understand why the OpenSSH team chose not to add this feature. When I said shouldn't in my previous post I was more thinking along the lines of "please save yourself the trouble" or "think of the children" ;).

  10. Re:Good for Mozilla. on Mozilla Foundation Donates $10K to OpenSSH · · Score: 1
    No. I want rate limiting (or blocking) only for unsuccessful login tries, not for successful logins. That cannot be done with a firewall, since the firewall doesn't know about login success or not.


    I beg to differ. You want to limit the number of times you can connect per second on a per IP basis.
    Even if they're a legitimate user, if someone initiates too many connections per second you'll want to limit that.

    I'm no MS fanboy by any means, but I am a businessman and an entrepreneur, and I don't see the problem. If you don't like their policies, don't buy their products. If you want a better deal, consider the expectations that come with any agreement or contract to secure that pricing.


    So... if I don't like MicroSoft I shouldn't buy a pc?
  12. Re:Good for Mozilla. on Mozilla Foundation Donates $10K to OpenSSH · · Score: 5, Informative

    A lots of people/companies asked the OpenSSH group to include the ability to include rate limiting due to large SSH user/dictionary attacks being run by script kiddies. One person even WROTE it for them. I believe the OpenSSH group's response was "Not an ssh problem."


    It's not an ssh problem. Connection rate limiting is something you really want to do with a firewalling solution.

    If the reason the US got involved in WWII was their hatred of fascism, why did they wait until after the attack on Pearl Harbor? Surely the annexation of Austria or the invasion of Poland would have been enough reason.
