How-to - Rootkit Scan (trojan Etc)

Jan 21, 2004

What is a rootkit? The following link is a very good read to answer that question.

http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/li...4/rootkit.html

In Summary, a rootkit is a trojan installed on your Linux server after someone has broken into it. These files are used to cover the hackers tracks, and to give the hacker tools to do more dirty work from your server.

Usage:

1. su - (change to root user)
2. mkdir /usr/local/chkrootkit
3. wget ftp://ftp.pangeia.com.br/pub/seg/pac/chkrootkit.tar.gz
4. tar -xvzf chkrootkit.tar.gz
5. cd chkrootkit*
6. cp * /usr/local/chkrootkit
7. cd /usr/local/chkrootkit
8. make sense

Now scan your system:

1. cd /usr/local/chkrootkit
2. ./chkrootkit

chkrootkit may from time to time give false positives. If you ever get a positive or "infected hit" scan a second time. If you do get a positive hit, google the hit to research the issue and steps to correct.

Part 2 - automated chkrootkit, and emailed results.

I'm lazy, and like my server to do the work for me so I have it scan every day, and email me the results.

Usage:

1. vi /etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit
2. add the following code.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
(cd /usr/local/chkrootkit; ./chkrootkit -q 2>&1 | mail -s "Daily chkrootkt scan" you@yourdomain.com)
3. chmod 0755 /etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit

This will email you@yourdomain.com every morning with your chkrootkit results. the -q option will only show you exploits.

Removal:

If you don't like getting the emails or just want to remove this from your server:

1. rm /etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit
2. rm -rf /usr/local/chkrootkit

All files will now be deleted from your server.

In Rootkit Hunter Scan

Jun 26, 2009

how to correct it?

Code:
---------------------- Start Rootkit Hunter Scan ----------------------
Warning: Checking for prerequisites [ Warning ]
The file of stored file properties (rkhunter.dat) does not exist, and so must be created. To do this type in 'rkhunter --propupd'.

To Scan A Linux Box For Xss Scripts

May 4, 2008

What's the best way to do a daily check for xss scripts injected into php and html files on a linux box?

I am referring to stuff like framer.z
[url]
which essentially has a telltail signature of

<script>eval(unescape("%77%69...
Is there anything for linux that keeps up with those kinds of script signatures?

I doubt CSF or Clam looks for that kind of stuff, right?

Script Updates

Nov 8, 2007

Lately we have been receiving a lot of complaints from our users who do not wish to update their scripts. I have been telling those users that they have to keep their scripts up to date if they want to avoid having that script exploited or used to send spam or other malicious intentions. The ramifications of a single user on a server not keeping their script up to date affects all of the users on the server.

I am just wondering how other hosting providers handle this. When a client threatens to leave because you don't allow them to run an outdated script, what actions do you take to try and keep the client?

VPS And Windows Updates

Jul 17, 2007

I have a Windows VPS account with a well-known hosting company. According to their knowledgebase, they "apply Microsoft security updates directly from the hardware node. For this reason, they are not able to be applied from within your VPS."

I discovered this after attempting to apply a Service Pack on my VPS, which messed up my VPS. Now that I've learned this the hard way, here's my question: Is this true with other Windows VPS hosting companies too?

While I understand that I'm responsible for what I update on my VPS, I'm frustrated that the hosting company doesn't take more steps to prevent this from happening...

Primaryvps Updates

Aug 17, 2007

I have been with primaryvps since May and in last two months I was very busy... and then came back from vacation, it was working fine for a few days... indeed, I could access my server as late as last night. But then my server is down today, with empty page at primaryvps.com and there's nothing else.

So I got nervous and came here to check... and I realized that a lot of people had troubles with them, perhaps more than I did, but then are they really going out of business? As a customer I received no warning of any kind, though.

Any certain info on their current status would be appreciated. I wrote them (support and victor's email) but didn't get responses... In the past they replied very fast, so there's something strange going on for sure...

Adventures In Updates-Yum/python Fun

Dec 27, 2007

this only shows up in Centos 5, it seems.

You do the good ole "yum update"

and...something very bad happens:
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
>> Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
>>
>>
>> Could not find any working storages.

Ok..this is one of the times google fails me..I guess because this is a fairly new problem.

If you are lucky:

Visit the rpm repo of your choice..manually download:

python-sqlite*
and
sqlite*

and force a re-install:

rpm -ivh python-sqlite* --force
rpm -ivh sqlite* --force

Sadly..I did find that..and it was tried..and did not work for me.

The fix? Ohhh...you gonna love this:

I completely removed python and everything that depends on it.

Drastic? Oh yeah. But after wasting two days with fixes that did not help...I figured this was the only way. Drastic measures were called for.

It was. It worked. You put everything back..and it is fine.

Oh..I noticed yum.3.2.1is available..and decided to give that a shot as well. It is fine.

Certainly not as much fun as the time I decided to attempt a upgrade of glib2 on a vps..but close.

A VPS Service That Updates The Server Themselves

Nov 12, 2007

Basically I do all my updating now. I have a VPS with...*GASP*...godaddy and their policy is you do all the updating to your server yourself. They will not help you in any way unless you pay their "extra special services team" 80 bucks an hour.

Now, I'm not that much of a server genius, I can find my way around and do certain updates. I'm just tired of doing it and also have a huge fear that I'll screw something up.

Is there a company that will do a full switchover from godaddy to their service, does all the updates and installs programs for a small fee for you? I also need one that is comparable in price. I'm paying 52 bucks a month now.
