F24 System Wide Change: Default Local DNS Resolver – devel-announce – Fedora List Archives

Plain DNS protocol is insecure and therefore vulnerable from various
attacks (e.g. cache poisoning). A client can never be sure that there
is no man-in-the-middle, if it does not do the DNSSEC validation
locally.

We want to have Unbound server installed and running on localhost by
default on Fedora systems.

NetBSD’s EuroBSDCon report

This year’s EuroBSDCon had the record number of NetBSD developers attending
The NetBSD guys had a small devsummit as well, and this blog post details some of their activities
Pierre Pronchery also talked about EdgeBSD there (also see our interview if you haven’t already)
Hopefully this trend continues, and NetBSD starts to have even more of a presence at the conferences

Upcoming features in OpenBSD 5.6

OpenBSD 5.6 is to be released in just under a month from now, and one of the developers wrote a blog post about some of the new features
The post is mostly a collection of various links, many of which we’ve discussed before
It’ll be the first version with LibreSSL and many other cool things
We will, of course, have all the details on the day of release
There are some good comments on hacker news about 5.6 as well

FreeBSD ARMv8-based implementation

The FreeBSD foundation is sponsoring some work to port FreeBSD to the new ThunderX ARM CPU family
With the potential to have up to 48 cores, this type of CPU might make ARM-based servers a more appealing option
Cavium, the company involved with this deal, seems to have lots of BSD fans
This collaboration is expected to result in Tier 1 recognition of the ARMv8 architecture

Updating orphaned OpenBSD ports

We discussed OpenBSD porting over portscout from FreeBSD a while back
Their ports team is making full use of it now, and they’re also looking for people to help update some unmaintained ports
A new subdomain, portroach.openbsd.org, will let you view all the ports information easily
If you’re interested in learning to port software, or just want to help update a port you use, this is a good chance to get involved

GhostBSD 4.0 released

The 4.0 branch of GhostBSD has finally been released, based on FreeBSD 10
With it come all the big 10.0 changes: clang instead of gcc, pkgng by default, make replaced by bmake
Mate is now the default desktop, with different workstation styles to choose from

Reports from PF about banned IPs

If you run any kind of public-facing server, you’ve probably seen your logs fill up with unwanted traffic
This is especially true if you run SSH on port 22, which the author of this post seems to
A lot can be done with just PF and some brute force tables
He goes through some different options for blocking Chinese IPs and break-in attempts
It includes a useful script he wrote to get reports about the IPs being blocked via email

NetBSD 6.1.5 and 6.0.6 released

The 6.1 and 6.0 branches of NetBSD got some updates
They include a number of security and stability fixes – plenty of OpenSSL mentions
Various panics and other small bugs also got fixed

OpenSSH 6.7 released

After a long delay, OpenSSH 6.7 has finally been released
Major internal refactoring has been done to make part of OpenSSH usable as a library
SFTP transfers can now be resumed
Lots of bug fixes, a few more new features – check the release notes for all the details
This release disables some insecure ciphers by default, so keep that in mind if you connect to legacy devices that use Arcfour or CBC modes

Perfect Linux Home Server:

Brought to you by: System76

What makes for a good server OS? A few important things to look for:

A deep repository of packages, that are reasonably current.
Good online support/community for howto’s and guides.
Good security.

I was not happy with my big storage options for Linux, I want a native kernel level implementation of ZFS, but I want the cutting edge software options of Linux.

I bought a FreeNAS Mini from iXsystems that I use as my backend storage apliance. In front of that I have an Ubuntu 12.04 that has an NFS mount to the ZFS storage on the FreeNAS Mini box.

Plus we cover the advantages of running your own DNS server at home, and how Allan and Chris got their start in the world of IT!

DigiNotar Hack Details

A company spokesman said that “several dozen” certificates had been acquired by the attackers.
The confirmed count of fraudulently-issued SSL (secure socket layer) certificates now stands at 531.
The first known-bad certificate, for Google.com, was created by attackers on July 10, 2011. Between July 19 and July 29, DigiNotar began discovering bad certificates during routine security operations, and blocking them.
But the attack didn’t come to light until August 27
Comodohacker said the attack against DigiNotar was payback for the Srebrenica massacre.
He also suggested that he wasn’t operating under the auspices of Iranian authorities, but that he may have given them the certificates.
Comodohacker also posted additional proof that he had the private key for the invalid google.com certificate, by using it to sign a copy of calc.exe, a feature a regular website SSL certificate should not have.
The DigiNotar hack has already had wide-ranging repercussions for the 9 million Dutch citizens–in a country with a population of 17 million–that use DigiD , a government website for accessing services, such as paying taxes.
According to news reports, the country’s lawyers have been forced to switch to fax and mail, to handle many activities that were supported by an intranet.
The Netherlands has also indefinitely extended the country’s tax deadline until DigiD can again be declared secure.
Mozilla has made this public statement: “This is not a temporary suspension, it is a complete removal from our trusted root program.”. Such harsh action was taken because DigiNotar did NOT notify everyone when the breech was discovered.
F-Secure Weblog says they were hacked by someone who was connected to “ComodoGate” — the hacking of another Certificate Authority earlier this year, by an Iranian attacker.

Microsoft out-of-cycle patch to fix DigiNotar bogus certificates

Hacker claims to have compromised Other SSL Cert Authorities

Soon after the Comodo forged certificates hack an Iranian using the handle Comodohacker posted a series of messages via Pastebin account providing evidence that he carried out the attack.
The hacker boasted he still has access to four other (unnamed) “high-profile” CAs and retains the ability to issue new rogue certificates, including code signing certificates.
ComodoHacker also claims to have compromised StartSSL, however issuance of invalid certificates was prevented by a policy change that required the CEO to manually offline approve each issued certificate. The HSM (Hardware Signing Module) being offline seems like the only way to be entirely sure that invalid certificates are not issued. A proper policy, more than just rubber stamping any certificate that doesn’t say google.com on it should be required.
GlobalSign on Tuesday announced that it would temporarily cease issuing any new certificates.
“GlobalSign takes this claim very seriously and is currently investigating,” according to a statement released by the company

DNS hack hits popular websites: Telegraph, Register, UPS, etc

Further websites which have been affected by the DNS hack include National Geographic, BetFair, Vodafone and Acer.
Instead of breaching the website itself, the hackers have managed to change the DNS records for the various sites affected.
Because of the way that DNS works, it may take some time for corrected DNS entries for the affected websites to propagate worldwide – meaning there could be problems for some hours even after the fix.
The attack was against the domain registrars Ascio and NetNames, both owned by the same parent company.
Apparently the attacker managed to use an SQL injection attack to gain access to the domain accounts, and change the name servers.
