Vrtservers.net - Malicious IP scanning

Posted 06-04-2007 at 09:41 AM by unixfool

IP 64.56.65.150, an IP that belongs to Vrtservers.net, has been very active lately. The machine has been compromised twice in 30 days and does a multitude of scans. Last month I reported this IP to isc.sans.org and the machine was eventually taken offline (after waiting over two weeks). I reported it again this weekend when I noticed the IP was scanning against port 80 on my public server.

I've attempted to do some digging via Google but have found nothing solid, other than finding...

I Created some scripts for Snort

Posted 06-04-2007 at 09:40 AM by unixfool

I've created (well, modified) a Snort initialization, restart, and shutdown script for Slackware and OpenBSD. They are linked below.

The OpenBSD script works solidly.

The Slackware script works sporadically and I've no idea how to debug it (although I haven't tried 'strace' yet). It appears to work manually every time, but when run as a cron job, it's sometimes, seemingly randomly, doesn't restart. The cron job runs every hours but because it sometimes doesn't start,...

Operating systems

I have so many running now, but a few stick out as superior. Xandros, Suse 10.1, Red hat 5.0, Edubuntu are all very good. Suse is not quite as stable on a desktop as it is on a laptop. I have found Knoppix and Puppy to be fun and smart. Debian wouldnot load, and neither would a few others. end.

Free Empires expands

Posted 06-01-2007 at 01:20 PM by Chargh

I knew there was a want for a Linux Age of Empires but I did not now that there would be such a huge amount ready to help it be built. I have had a surge of people going to the Piga Software forum http://piga.7.forumer.com/index.php in the hopes of helping the project.

Another thing Free Empires seems to be doing is increasing awareness of GAMBAS http://gambas.sourceforge.net which I hope will help that project as well (it is a great Program). If you are interested in Free Empires...
