The Apache HTTP sever becomes a teenager, it turned 15 years old to be precise. It started out in February of 1995, with a group of veterans from the NCSA and it’s original HTTP server and other enthusiasts. Way to go for the patchy server!

If you have an ongoing SSH attack the quickest and simplest way to stop it’s to use iptables:

• Login to the server and become root.

iptables -A INPUT -s <attacker-ip> -j DROP

This is just a temporary fix, if you reboot the system, the rule will be lost, if you want the rule to be permanent you have to edit a file, in fedora and redhat it’s /etc/sysconfig/iptables. In the case of Ubuntu you can use:

iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules

And then modify the /etc/network/interfaces configuration file to apply the rules automatically.

If you don’t have the netfilter package on your linux box, another quick fix would be adding your attacker IP to the hosts.deny file as follow:

Use your text editor of choid to edit hosts.deny either as root.

vim /etc/hosts.deny

Add a line either for blocking just SSH or all services.

sshd: <attacker-ip>

or

ALL: <attacker-ip>

A more automatic approach would be using denyhosts a cool python script to handle SSH attacks, the package it’s on the Ubuntu repositories and should be in any major distro.

The cawamon project is a blog cloud system on django framework. Yeah, it is a cloud because we (kalolo, orlybg and I) are thinking to use 3dparty services to make posts, pictures upload and other stuff.

Right now there is a repository at gitHub where you can access and help us to developing the system, join us at cawamon on github.

why cawamon name? It is so funny if you are from Mexico :-)
