I notice you also havnt solved the local privilege escalation,

Thanks, Tavis.
And just what on God's earth does "SOMEONE LOGGING IN WITH
USERNAME SET
TO A VALID PASSWORD ENTRY" have to do with this script. Let me
take my
script out of the equation for a minute. "SOMEONE LOGS IN WITH A
USERNAME SET TO A VALID PASSWORD ENTRY" don't you think this is a
problem with the system they're on? Please explain to me how
because I'm
seriously curious to know how you envision this happening with
this
script of mine.
Nov 27 16:31:21 local sshd[67010]: Illegal user dd from
213.134.128.227
awk '($5=="Illegal"||$6=="Illegal")&&$9=="from"{print $10}'
Would stop the insertion attack and only print out the tench field
if
fields 5, 6 and 9 match Illegal user from.
So that would pretty much minimize the attack on name insertion.
If I
wanted to I could also make sure that if someone came after field
10,
then ignore the entire line:
Nov 27 16:31:21 local sshd[67010]: Illegal user dd from
213.134.128.227
But before you shoot back let me send your response for you:
Tavis Ormandy will write:
"Someone could log in using: "Illegal User foo from
$OWNIPADDRESS"@host which would make an entry:
Nov 27 16:31:21 local sshd[67010]: Illegal user dd from
Illegal User
foo from $OWNIPADDRESS 213.134.128.227"
SO let me restate. I could modify it to look at lines 5, 6, and 9
...
Take a look at the tenth column and if anything comes after
that...Ignore that entire line... Should I have done so, maybe...
Will I
do so... Maybe...
But wait there's more... Before you respond back Tavis, I will do
so for
you:
Tavis Ormandy will write:
"Someone could cause a race condition in awk that will allow
peanut
butter to seep into my colo"
Sorry can't help you there.
As to a fix to someone injecting ranDumb addresses. That same awk
statement above will work but if they're doing some netcat voodoo,
then
feel free to shoot off another email on how my script broke TCP/IP
entirely.
