Perl Removed
Feb 2, 2008A client's server's password was guessed, and the hacker conveniently uninstalled perl. I can't seem to get perl reinstalled. Any ideas on how this would be done? RPM, TAR's and YUM don't work, as they require perl!
Is this going to be a reinstall job?

Perl Security
Jan 27, 2007ive been trying to install it for about 3 hours and ive finally got it working. now, how do i configure it to be nice and secure?
first thing is that i want to restrict which paths people can use in scripts. my site needs to access any paths but site users can only access their own directories. i want the exact same thing as in this thread but with perl instead of php
how do i block certain functions and which ones do i block? i heard perl and php are very similar so im guessing i want to block similar functions to the ones listed here

Servage With Perl Scripting
Dec 1, 2008I've used Servage for about 18 months. For most of that time there have been no problems. Then they decided to upgrade the cluster. This happened 3 weeks ago. Since then, there has been a catalogue of problems, mostly centred around a Perl script my site uses to implement a wiki.
The first problem was that they had removed four of the supporting Perl modules used by my Perl script. All of the missing modules are ones you would expect to find on any server that claims to support Perl. They had warned that this might happen (obviously too difficult for them to make sure that the upgraded server has all the Perl modules) so I notified them with a list of missing modules expecting the modules to be restored quickly. It actually took 1 week, during which time their support team tried their best to annoy me by giving responses related to PHP (apparently they'd managed to kill PHP scripting completely) and a non-working link to a list of installed modules (I knew what was installed already).
Having now got the script running, I hit a further problem. Prior to the upgrade the script had run under the "webserver" account. It was now running under the "you" account. This meant it couldn't write to its own data files. I had real trouble getting Servage to understand this one, let alone fix it. Most of their answers were about how to change the ownership of my script, which makes absolutely no difference to the problem. Eventually, after 4 days, they tried to fix the problem. The result was that my website became completely inaccessible. Even the static content was giving a 403 error. Again, it took support a while to understand the problem and about 1.5 days to fix it.
At this point Servage claimed to have fixed all outstanding issues. However, my script was still running under the wrong account. In frustration, I changed the ownership of all the script's data files to "you", which at least got my wiki running again.
However, I now find that people can't upload images to the site. Any attempt to do so produces an error "CGI open of tmpfile: Permission denied".
I've given up. I think my chances of getting Servage to even understand the problem are minimal. I'm not even going to try. I will be moving to another host as soon as possible - probably a VPS. That way I should be able to fix most problems myself.

That's what it usually looks like. Anyway, more and more Ws were added in a matter of seconds as I watched it. Next thing, my site doesn't load, and it goes dead. My TimeOut in apache was set to 5 seconds. Now it's at 2, though. I do have keep alive on, but it is VERY low, like its set to 2 seconds and the max keep alives is set to 15 or so.
I have been working on even just catching who is doing this for about 2 weeks now, trying everything to my ability. Here is everything from start to finish:
1. First I tried mod_evasive - this program seems worthless, it doesn't ever detect anything. I can post settings if need be, but ive played with it and it just doesn't work well I find. I have more trouble with it getting false positives. Also, I tried going over the apache logs. For me, this has been a nightmare because its just so hard to see between attackers and non attackers... and i've come up with nothing.
2. I tried APF with AntiDOS but it didn't seem to do anything...
3. I read about DDoS deflate by medialayer, and installed it and gave it a shot. It didn't do anything for me. I tried poking around with the command they have on their website and I found the results quite weird, it didnt show me all of the IPs like it was supposed to, but rather some mess like:
Code:
1 (ip here)
3 (ip here)
9
(1 addres
ses)
So I did more searches online, and eventually came across this command:
Code:
netstat -ntu | grep ':' | awk '{print $5}' | awk '{sub("::ffff:","");print}' | cut -f1 -d ':' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
This seemed nice, looked like it was working as it should this time. I used the test.pl ( my only test for this, I have trouble finding other tools )that comes with mod_evasive and sure enough it showed connections by me in there about like 150 or so after. I thought, 'hey thats pretty good, now ill try to make a script to parse it.' I did this, and then croned the script to run every minute.
Then I asked a friend of mine who I know has a better "DoS"er (though won't give it to anyone, understandably) to test the defence. It didn't hold up well at all. He suggested making the script run in an infinite loop instead of a cron, and make it sleep in the loop forever.
I did just that, and it now runs every 5 seconds. Here is the script, it's not the best, but it's all I've got now:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Dos
use IO::Socket;
my $command;
for (my $i=0; 1; $i++) {
$command = `netstat -ntu | grep ':' | awk '{print $5}' | awk '{sub("::ffff:","");print}' | cut -f1 -d ':' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr`;
@lines = split /
/, $command;
foreach my $line (@lines)
{
@twospleet = split(" ", $line);
if($twospleet[0] > 150) {
if($twospleet[1] != "") {
$carp=$twospleet[1];
$carp2=$twospleet[0];
$block = "/usr/local/sbin/apf -d $carp $carp2";
system($block);
}
}
}
sleep(5);
}
This actually worked; he started his attack, it found his IP, and he was blocked, and I didn't go down. The netstat command showed him in with some 200 something connections before he was blocked.
I was not able to see if this was effective against this issue until today, haven't been hit for 4 days now or so (perhaps some sort of easter vacation?). Today though, I watched the same thing happen again, filled to the brim with Ws.
The netstat command I found doesn't seem to be helping me here. If I am correct:
W means Sending Reply, according to the server status page. So what's going on here, someones making lots of connections and my system can't send a reply back for some reason?
My main questions are,
1. Am I right, that this is some kind of DoS?
2. If yes, how is this being done? And are there any test scripts available that I can download and try on myself to watch the statistics & test some more?
3. And again, how can I go about detecting whatever this is? Maybe some better netstat command, or something I can look for on the command page?
4. Is there any way to improve my perl script to protect against this?
5. If it isn't a DoS attack, what else might it be?
