  1. CIS 290LINUX Security Basic Network Security “Chroot Jail”

  2. Network services • Determine open services: netstat –tulpn -OR- nmap -sT -O localhost • Disable with chkconfig. And/or remove software. • Use TCP_WRAPPERS (xinetd) • Configure iptables • Remove Xwindows: yum groupremove "X Window System“ • Set initdefault to runlevel 3 • No cleartext services HTTP, TELNET, FTP, rcmd, (see gov’t requirements) - use SSH, SSL, SFTP. Restrict NFS/CIFS to local networks only. • Basic tools: ping, traceroute, netstat, nmap, netcat (nc) telnet

  3. Chroot jail • Isolate user process within a “virtual” root file system. • Similar to web “virtual document root” or vsftpd “chroot_local_user=YES”. • As root: chroot <directory path> <command> • Trick is to automate the process for user login, file transfer (sftp) or specific applications. • Most daemon processes have their own “chroot” methodology. • Not as secure, less isolating as LINUX containers or Solaris zones (CIS 228) for specific application environnments.

  4. Google Hacking • We can use a standard Google search to find interesting pages such as indexes. - “index of /etc” - “index of /etc” passwd - “index of /etc” shadow • Google allows us to do more than just simple searching using advanced operators • E.g. • filetype: • inanchor: • intext: • intitle: • inurl: • site:

  5. Using Advanced Operators • We can now search in the Title field for indexed pages: intitle:index.of./etc passwd intitle:index.of./etc shadow • We can use the filetype: operator: password filetype:xls filetype:config web.config -CVS filetype:mdb users.mdb • Combining Operators filetype:eml eml +intext:"Subject" +intext:"From" +intext:"To“ "# -FrontPage-" ext:pwd inurl:(service | authors | administrators | users) "# -FrontPage-" inurl:service.pwd

  6. Google Hacking Database (GHDB) • Thousands of search URL’s • Javascript: entries very powerful • Enter Wikto – Web Server Assessment Tool - Back-end Miner - Nikto-like functionality - Googler file searcher - GoogleHacks GHDB tester
