  Wireless Configs doing my head in!
Posted by: fusion175 - 2007-08-12, 06:04 PM - Forum: Fedora 7 - Replies (3)


Hi all,

 

I have an orinoco gold pcmcia card running on Fedora 7 (Or rather I wish it would run) and I am having some weird issues. Firstly it seems it has been found as the correct piece of hardware as the modules have been loaded and I can actually make the card come up using ifup.

 

BUT

 

I just cannot for the life of me get it talking to the access point. Everything I have tried still outputs with "Access Point: None" on iwconfig.

 

ive tried the full string with iwconfig NIC mode managed essid key and all that... But still nothing after the IP and routing data has been entered.

 

Any ideas anyone? What have I missed out??

 

Many thanks in advance

  Blocking trackback spammers
Posted by: hybrid - 2007-08-10, 06:56 AM - Forum: Security and Firewalls - Replies (4)


I run my own CentOS 5-based web server which powers my website among a couple of others. I have a WordPress blog which attracts quite a lot of comment and more recently trackback spam.

 

I use the Akismet service, so it rarely ever gets through, but I'm finding from my server logs that I'm getting hit quite frequently by spammers giving it a try, sometimes every few seconds for several minutes at a time. Sitting there tail -f'ing the access_log when they do this and it becomes apparent they're knocking on the door quite frequently. I'd like to be able to implement some solution to block IPs if they attempt to do more than a few trackbacks in a certain amount of time.

 

I'm running the latest version of Apache 2.2 in the CentOS 5 repositories.

 

Here's an example from /var/log/httpd/access_log of the kind of thing I mean:

 



Code:
72.232.150.250 - - [10/Aug/2007:07:26:10 +0100] "POST /blog/2007/01/10/wpget-a-question-to-all-users/trackback/ HTTP/1.0" 302 338 "http://peter.upfold.org.uk/blog/2007/01/10/wpget-a-question-to-all-users/trackback" "TrackBack/1.02"




 

There are a few factors that might help in determining rules to implement:
  • More than a certain number of attempts within a certain time from the same IP (say, 15 in 5 minutes or more)

  • User-Agent set to TrackBack/versionnumber

  • URL in the form of /blog/year/month/day/string/trackback/ (with or without trailing slash)

  • HTTP POST request

What do you think the best solution for this is? I guess something could be done using iptables, but I'm pretty inexperienced at doing anything with iptables. If not, what is the best solution for this? Is it completely futile? Find out in... oops, sorry. :P

 

Thanks guys in advance. :)

  Old FC4 server
Posted by: cyris - 2007-08-09, 10:07 PM - Forum: Fedora Core Release 4 - Replies (2)


Hey everyone,

 

I'd like to upgrade our old FC4 server to FC7, however this machine is our production mail server/web server. I can have a few hours of down time but I'd rather not rebuild from scratch.

 

Can I upgrade from yum or the install DVD ?

  Problem on installing MS VM on wine
Posted by: satimis - 2007-08-09, 11:51 AM - Forum: Wine - No Replies


Hi folks,

 

Ubuntu 7.04 desktop

IEs4Linux

IE6

 

Download following packages on Internet;

msjavx86b3805.exe

MSJavWU_8073687b82d41db93f4c2a04af2b34d.exe

 

I suppose "wine MSJavWU_8073687b82d41db93f4c2a04af2b34d.exe" is upgrade.

 

 

On terminal:

$ WINEPREFIX="/home/satimis/.ies4linux/ie6" wine msjavx86b3805.exe

Code:
.....
Backtrace:
=>1 0x00be006e (0x0034fe18)
2 0x7bc3ac3d in ntdll (+0x2ac3d) (0x0034fea8)

0x00be006e: movl        0x10(%eax),%eax
Wine-dbg>




It hung here.

 

Typing quit/finish etc. w/o action only popup "Wine-dbg>" again.

 

(Remark:)

Can't add "sudo" on the command line. It can't find /home/satimis/....." path.

 

 

Continued to run;

$ WINEPREFIX="/home/satimis/.ies4linux/ie6" wine MSJavWU_8073687b82d41db93f4c2a04af2b34d.exe

 

still the same ending finally at "Wine-dbg>"

 

 

Wine-dbg>what is

Code:
err:dbghelp:pe_load_dbg_file -Unable to peruse .DBG file ole32.dbg ("")
err:dbghelp:pe_load_dbg_file -Unable to peruse .DBG file oleaut32.dbg ("")
err:dbghelp:pe_load_dbg_file -Unable to peruse .DBG file msjava.dbg ("")
err:dbghelp:pe_load_dbg_file -Unable to peruse .DBG file vmhelper.dbg ("")
No symbols found for is

Undefined symbol




 

I have to force exit with :-

Wine-dbg>Ctrl-C: stopping debuggee

 

 

On both cases installation went through w/o complaint.

 

 

Started IE6

 

Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced

Can't find "MS VM" there.

 

 

Pls help. TIA

 

 

B.R.
