21:15.20 | Gate | Sigh. I'm being portscanned from Russia. At least it isn't korea again. |
21:18.01 | bonez2046 | Gate: here's a dumb question.. how do you detect the portscanning at you? |
21:18.10 | bonez2046 | I'd like to figure out if I am being scanned |
21:35.31 | *** join/#utah carmony (~justin@c-24-10-194-172.hsd1.ut.comcast.net) |
21:54.05 | Gate | bonez2046: this time it was pure chance. I looked in my router logs because I am having some wierd issues and noticed that someone very sneaky was randomly checking ports |
21:54.47 | Gate | they are coming from different IPs, to ports in random order but they are spaced perfectly evenly over time |
21:56.05 | bonez2046 | systematically, eh? |
21:56.55 | Gate | yes, if it werent for the fact they were evenly spaced, there would be no way of associating these into a cogent attack. |
21:57.49 | Gate | unless of course these IPs are already on blacklists, but my guess is its just a botnet, and the IP I traced happened to be in Russia. |
21:59.48 | Gate | bonez2046: for more traditional portscanners there is firewall software that will pay attention to the connections and detect port scands, DOS attacks and the like. |
22:01.49 | bonez2046 | thanks |
22:02.24 | Gate | bonez2046: are you running a server or just protecting a desktop? |
22:02.40 | bonez2046 | it's just my linux box.. and home network |
22:02.55 | bonez2046 | i have lots to do yet.. lots of networking to reconfigure.. |
22:03.46 | Gate | Yeah, I know the feeling. Networking is fun for me for the first 10 minutes, then its just tedious. |
22:08.15 | bonez2046 | Gate: got any suggestions for a non-network-admin type like me? for network setup? I have a simple ethernet with a mac laptop, xp pro laptop (both wirelessly connected) plus a few other linux or xp pro boxes.. |
22:09.00 | bonez2046 | I just want to get them all able to talk to each other.. to notify with messaging, to allow centralized login, so I can control the xp pro boxes that my boys use.. |
22:11.13 | Gate | I haven't ever done this personally, but I worked in a lab maintaining OSX, Linux and XP desktops that were connected to a Samba/NFS linux server setup |
22:11.41 | Gate | So I would consider one of the linux boxes for authentication and network storage |
22:12.02 | bonez2046 | ah, authentication is what I need.. and yeah, Ihave one box I can use for network storage.. |
22:12.46 | Gate | We had the additional need of transferring profiles, so if I logged into one system and saved a file to my desktop it would appear on the next system I logged into as well |
22:13.19 | Gate | I don't know the details but they were debian systems running Samba, and that is where the knowledge ends |
22:13.26 | bonez2046 | that would be cool too |
22:13.33 | bonez2046 | samba, ok. thanks |
22:15.36 | Gate | bonez2046: if the boys are fairly young you might look into edubuntu, last I checked it was set up for a client/server arch by default |
22:33.38 | bonez2046 | client/server, meaning it would authenticate to some server, allowing me to shutdown, or limit privileges..? one thing I want to be able to do is set time limits. for particular users, say have it shut off the net connect for a user after a set time period |
22:34.04 | bonez2046 | hour's up, no more net access until the child does something or obtains permission and renabling of their access |
22:36.31 | Gate | hm, I wouldn't know how to achieve that. But edubuntu is where I would start. It was designed for school type situations |
22:37.10 | bonez2046 | ok.. my boys are gamers though, and I need to figure out how to sell the conversion from xp pro to edbuntu |
22:48.22 | *** join/#utah PigeonCluster (~blendmast@unaffiliated/blendmaster1024) |
22:50.06 | bonez2046 | what's a pigeoncluster? |
22:50.12 | bonez2046 | cluster of pigeons? |
22:52.45 | PigeonCluster | bonez2046, google it |
22:52.49 | PigeonCluster | first result |
22:53.47 | bonez2046 | PigeonCluster: ah, that kind |
22:53.48 | bonez2046 | ok |
22:53.58 | Gate | bonez2046: there are windows clients for such things, I am not in the least familiar with them thought |
22:54.15 | Gate | s/t$// |
22:54.51 | bonez2046 | windows clients for ....allowing me to have my boys authenticate? |
23:01.11 | Gate | yes |
23:01.17 | Gate | and the time limits and such |
23:01.41 | Gate | hell, you can actually do it in your router, my netgear can cut off network after a time alotment |
23:02.37 | bonez2046 | my wife pushes me to install net nanny or some such guard software. I tried that a couple years ago and one xp box required a reformat of the hard disk when the trial version of the software failed and the company wouldn't help me get it off my system.. |
23:02.56 | bonez2046 | in my router, eh? I have a linksys wrt54g. |
23:03.11 | bonez2046 | what I should do is hack it and reprogram it with openwrt |
23:03.47 | Gate | well, it won't do the auth peice |
23:04.06 | Gate | Sounds like you need the network box acting as a proxy using something like dansguardian |
23:04.27 | bonez2046 | maybe I should reexamine dansguardian |
23:06.10 | Gate | I never could get it configured quite right |
23:08.23 | bonez2046 | that's what I encountered too |
