Got feedback from the firewall guy: |
| 2 |
According to his snort logs the ip I was told did the portscan was not |
| 3 |
infatc the culprit, the reverse lookup domain name for that ip is |
| 4 |
responsible but at this stage it still has an old ip pointing to an old |
| 5 |
redhat 7 box that's over due for retirement but still has a few |
| 6 |
straggling websites (old big and buggy - one in particular is written in |
| 7 |
old perl cgi scripts) It seems my problem might just be bigger than I |
| 8 |
thought any ideas on how I might secure a red hat 7 box (muhahahaha) |

I'm still trying to get some help from the guy who does the main network |
| 17 |
firewall (FREEBSD that I have no access to) he does run snort on there |
| 18 |
also but to get any thing out of him is not that easy. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
On the box itself I run shorewall but I allow any traffic from the box |
| 21 |
to outside (probably need to change that) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Nothing seems out of place in bash history and /var/log/messages doesn't |
| 24 |
seem to contain any thing usefull (only log dumped or rejected stuff in |
| 25 |
the fire wall) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Ive been resetting up snort (apparently the guys servers where scaned |
| 28 |
yesterday and this morning so possibly I might learn some thing) |

I know this seems like a given, but have you checked your bash_history |
| 37 |
(if |
| 38 |
it still exists), /var/log/messages, etc? Do you use a kernel with |
| 39 |
modules |
| 40 |
enabled? Do you have a firewall between the server and the outside world |
| 41 |
that would yeild any insight as to what that suspected box is doing? |
