Setup Virtual Users and Directories in VSFTPD Setup virtual users instead of local users and configure user specific home directories for each user, or shared between a handful of users. The reason for setting up virtual users, and different home directory for each user, was to allow ftp access to a web server running a number of different sites for different clients. Each client can have one or more login to the ftp server, and the usernames and passwords can be shared with the apache webserver, so you only need to store their passwords in one place. I'm choosing vsftpd as the ftp server, as it seems to have the best reputation for being secure (and having the fewest security bugs) Installing Whilst each flavour of linux has it's own way of installing software, I'm going to run through using debian, so you will need to adapt it for whichever distro you use. Firstly we need to download and install the ftp server VSFTPD debian# apt-get install vsftpd debian# apt-get install libpam-pwdfile Configuration for subsequent users just use Testing
Forensics Live CD « UbuntuGuru DEFT v1.0 You may wish to check out DEFT (“Digital Evidence & Forensic Toolkit”) v1.0 by Stefano Fratepietro which was released recently on March 28, 2007. It’s a nice security / forensics Live CD distro built on top of Kubuntu. It contains the Sleuth kit & Autopsy frontend, the afflib “Advanced Forensic Format” tools, dd rescue, foremost, hex dump, ophcrack – a windows password recovery tool, qtparted, testdisk, vinetto (examine Thumbs.db files), readpst (examine MS-Outlook pst files), kismet, wireshart, ettercap, airsnort, and other network sniffers. One downside of this distro is it appears to require 256mb of ram and won’t work on systems with 128mb.Personally, I need a live CD distro that can easily run on legacy systems that I frequently need to work on. Another ubuntu based live CD security distro you may wish to check out is nubuntu. Backtrack 2 Another recently released (March 6th, 2007) security live CD distro with some forensics tools is Backtrack 2. Powered by ScribeFire.
