Center for Internet Security :: Security Benchmarks Division :: CIS Juniper JunOS Benchmark v1.0.1 Release Date: Thu Nov 11 17:18:49 2010 Description This document, Security Configuration Benchmark for Juniper J, M, MX and T Series Routers, provides prescriptive guidance for establishing a secure configuration posture for Juniper J,M, MX, and T Series Routers versions JUNOS 8.x, 9.x, and 10.x. This guide was tested against J-Series and MX Series running 8.1R3, 9.2R1 and 10R2. This guide may also be relevant to other versions of JUNOS on these platforms, such as JUNOS Enhanced Service, and to other platforms running JUNOS such as EX series switches or SRX series Service Gateways; however these systems are not specifically addressed in this guide at the present time. This guide does not address other Juniper platforms such as ScreenOS Firewalls or Secure Access Instant Virtual Extranet.s (IVE.s).

UncomplicatedFirewall Introduction The Linux kernel in Ubuntu provides a packet filtering system called netfilter, and the traditional interface for manipulating netfilter are the iptables suite of commands. iptables provide a complete firewall solution that is both highly configurable and highly flexible. Becoming proficient in iptables takes time, and getting started with netfilter firewalling using only iptables can be a daunting task. The Uncomplicated Firewall (ufw) is a frontend for iptables and is particularly well-suited for host-based firewalls. ufw provides a framework for managing netfilter, as well as a command-line interface for manipulating the firewall. ufw aims to provide an easy to use interface for people unfamiliar with firewall concepts, while at the same time simplifies complicated iptables commands to help an adminstrator who knows what he or she is doing. ufw is an upstream for other distributions and graphical frontends. UFW in Ubuntu Available Versions in supported versions of Ubuntu
Linux Internet Server Security and Configuration Tutorial Perform the following steps to secure your web site: See Distribution erratas and security fixes (See Yolinux home page for list). [e.g. Red Hat Linux Errata] Update your system where appropriate. Red Hat/CentOS: yum check-update (Print list of packages to be updated.) It is best for security reasons that you reduce the number of inetd network services exposed. Use Linux firewall rules to protect against attacks. It is well known that there are various blocks of IP addresses where nefarious hackers and spam bots reside. There are various friendly services which seek and discover these IP blocks to firewall and deny and they share this information with us. The Spamhaus drop list: This is a script to download the total drop list and generate an iptables filter script to block these very IP addresses: To block the IP addresses just execute the script on each of your servers: . At the very minimum, these blocks of IP addresses should be denied by all servers. #! Links: OpenSSH.org - Shell.
What is mod_security? | LinuxGo.Net | Linux world, linux blog, linux webhosting blog, linux cpanel/whm ModSecurity is an embeddable web application firewall. It provides protection from a range of attacks against web applications and allows for HTTP traffic monitoring and real-time analysis with no changes to existing infrastructure. It is an open source project that aims to make the web application firewall technology available to everyone. With over 70% of all web attacks is carried out over the web application level, mod security is an essential tool that every web server should have to detect and block these web base attack. If you are using some open source application (like WordPress, phpNuke, Joomla CMS and etc) without much upgrade or patching, then my advice is to install mod_security to detect and block those common security vulnerabilities. The latest version of mod security will come with built in the core rules set and this core rules set will be able to detect and block common security vulnerabilities like below:- SQL injection and Blind SQL injection. File name injection. 1.
Blog: XSS Defense HOWTO We all agree that cross-site scripting is a serious problem, but what continues to amaze me is the lack of good documentation on the subject. It is easy to find instructions how to execute attacks against applications vulnerable to XSS, but finding something adequate to cover defence is a real challenge. No wonder programmers keep making the same errors over and over again. I am sure that one page that describes the problems and the solutions is somewhere out there, but I have been unable to find it. All I am getting is a page after page after page of half-truths and partial information, and even people saying that XSS is impossible to defend against. Without any planning (so please forgive any omissions), I am now going to write how to produce web applications that are safe against XSS and other injection attacks. This is what you need to do: Identify all system components other than the application itself. The first 4 steps from the list are the actual XSS defence. Notes:
Very usefull utility.
This will show you about everything you would ever want to know about a computer.
Hardware Processor types Speed Memory and Other hardware - Software "even where and when installed" - All the security updates and any you do not have. It uses a browser to display the output in html format and can be saved for future reference. Also does not add anything or change anything on the computer , It's a standalone application that only will run when you start it. Great if you don't have a manual for a computer or just don't want to open it to see how much memory or other things are installed.
