Exporting vm's from ESX to VMWare Server 2.0

Well, I hate to say it, but VMWare Server 2.0 is a little clunky. I don't get a lot of confidence using Internet Explorer to admin my vm's, but I can live with it. I also don't like how the vm admin service runs as a network service. It seems like it should be an optional install, in case IT policy allows remote administration of virtual environments. It just seems like its just one more thing to manage and watch for, an unnecessary increase in network attack surface with an application that may be very easily subverted.

What I can't live with is the mouse control, or lack of it, at the console of a windows OS running in VMWare Server 2.0...and it's running on a system with 4GB ram, a decent proc and win2k3 Std R2. Using the vm over RDP is reasonable and works well.

I was able to successfully import a ESX 3.5 image with Converter 3.0.3 to a VMWare Workstation 5.x compatiable image into VMWare Server 2.0. It didn't work with a VMWare Workstation 6.x compatiable image.

I wonder if VMWare has a security group that tries to crack its own apps?

Screen

Screen is probably my favorite application. It's a perfect example of the unix philosophy.

It's simply a window manager for terminal sessions, a great tool for developers, engineers and researchers that use multiple ssh sessions to perform their work.

Install it:

# pkg-add -r screen

The way I use it is by (re)connecting to a server where screen is installed, usually in a openbsd or freebsd vm that I run on a desktop or server machine. During the time I was disconnected (travelling to/from work, etc) screen maintained my many ssh sessions for me, and when reconnect I execute the following command:

# screen -d -r

-d : any existing screen processes are detached
-r : screen then reattaches the detached screen session and attaches it to your current tty/ssh session.

Most useful commands while using screen:
Crtl - A, Shift - C : Create a new tty session
Crtl - A, Shift - A : Edit the name for display in session manager
Crtl - A, Crtl - " : invokes the session manager, use arrow keys
Ctrl -A, Ctrl -A : Toggle between two tty sessions

See the manpage for lots more on commands and customization.

carp configuration on openbsd/pf

Typically, when a service provider gives you your IP's (say, for a T1 service) they give you both a WAN and LAN range. This can be confusing, because typically a LAN-range would imply private (RFC1918) IP addressing, however telcos dont think of it that way. The WAN range is typically a /30, which is appropriate for a point-to-point topology. Its implied that this IP be used on the CPE, which has been traditionally a router. The LAN range is typically a /27, and these IP's could be used for services that may be exposed through the router/firewall, but it could be done the same with the WAN IP and use port redirection to anything we place in the dmz in the future. This latter design approach is the one I chose. The less IP's the smaller the attack surface and therefore less to manage. The important part to note about this configuration is that the CARP IP address and the real ip of the physical NIC do not need to be in the same subnet or related in any way. Another thought I had was that instead of using the LAN IP's as the real IP's on the public facing interfaces of the firewall, you could instead use RFC1918 addressing and it would ensure that any mistake (unlikely) in routing traffic outside of the interface would be dropped at the next hop.

The specific service I contracted was through XO, its a 10Mb pipe to the Internet with an Ethernet hand-off. They gave me a Hatteras 408-CPi. I decided that we didn't need an extra hop on our side, so I eliminated the router and plugged the XO service straight into my firewall (basically) The blue cable coming into the switch is from the Hatteras unit. The yellow cables goto the outside nic's on each firewall. The grey goto the firewall's dmz nic's. The single yellow cable on the second switch goes to a ethernet port on a router that figures out what network the traffic is truly destined for. The orange, as you probably guessed, is a crossover cable, all pfsync data is transmitted on this interface.

In this implementation I used two DL360's, one more powerful than the other, both with 2GB ram. I also used two Cisco 2960G-24TS switches.

Configuration steps for both hosts for CARP with pf

Edit /etc/sysctl.conf

Permit forward routing of IP packets
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

Allow CARP to function
net.inet.carp.allow=1
net.inet.carp.log=1

If one interface fails, then failover to second host
net.inet.carp.preempt=1

Kernel will not respond to incoming connections to unbound network ports
net.inet.tcp.blackhole=2 # Drop incoming packets to unbound tcp ports
net.inet.udp.blackhole=1 # Drop incoming packets to unbound udp ports

Force a reboot if the kernel panics
ddb.panic=0

VMWare Server 2.0 installation error

Today I built a new Windows Server 2003 R2 (@patch-level) production server and attempted to install VMWare Server 2.0 and I ran into the following error.



I found a few discussions on the web that lead me to this patch:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925336

I installed it, rebooted and completed my work.

Using passwords that are good only once (OTP)

Using One Time Password (OTP) is a good idea these days. Luckily, its very easy to set up.

make sure /etc/skey directory exists

jack:/jack:37# sudo skeyinit -E
jack:/jack:38#skeyinit

in the output of the second command is a command that's been generated for you similar to:

otp-md5 100 bdsd523700

execute that command, adding the -n switch such that a list of passwords are generated that you can take with you.

jack:/jack:39# otp-md5 -n 50 100 bdsd523700
Reminder - Do not use this program while logged in via telnet.
Enter secret passphrase:
51: JILT YARD DARE WORM LARK CASE
52: GOOD VOTE NAN ITCH PUP DAM
53: BETH WAKE LACK MIT HANS DARE
54: MORT MAIL BANE LAP RODE YANG
[...snip...]

when you attempt to log in, use the following command structure.

ssh -l jack:skey [ip.ad.dr.ess]

a special prompt will also appear when the server recognizes that your user has a skey configuration. it will tell you which password to enter, counting down from 100.

jack/jack:45#> ssh -l jack:skey 10.200.1.254
otp-md5 97 bdsd29579
S/Key Password:

its asking for the password on line 97.

i don't quite understand the method of he counting, but it doesn't really matter much.

I got all this info from here
I wonder if I can restrict sshd to only accept skey authentication?

How to configure a iSCSI Volume using ZFS on opensolaris

This is just too easy. for example:

> mkfile 1000m /disk1 /disk2 /disk3
> zpool create zfs01 /disk1 /disk2 /disk3

> iscsitadm modify admin -d /zfs01/
> iscsitadm create target -z 1000m iscsizfs01

> /usr/sbin/iscsitgtd restart

I now have a 1 gig volume available over the network. Cool!
iscsi works well for applications requiring 400Mb/sec or less.

Other helpful commands:
> zpool list
> zpool status -v
> zpool upgrade #shows version info
> iscsitadm list target -v
> iscsitadm show admin

Cart of Confidential Files left on corner in SF Financial District

Today, I went to get some coffee, and I came across these carts full of sensitive files owned by a financial company which I wont name. The carts were left right out in the open on the main corner of the San Francisco Financial District, 101 California & Davis St., San Francisco, CA.

What a dream for an identity thief!

Double-Hop SSH

Sometimes I need to access a server that's behind two or more firewalls. I use SSH tunneling to accomplish this, and in this example I show port specifics for MySQL.

First, I establish a ssh session with a local tunnel to 'Server A' that's NAT'd through a firewall. 'Server A' sits in a DMZ.

Second, I establish another ssh session with a local tunnel from 'Server A' to 'Server B' that's NAT'd through another firewall. 'Server B' sits on the INSIDE network. The local port of the tunnel in the first session on 'Server A' corresponds to the referenced port on 'Server B' in the second session. A "plumbing" of sorts has been configured.

Session 1 - Client to 'Server A'
> ssh -L 44444:localhost:9999 user@serverA

Session 2 - 'Server A' to 'Server B'
> ssh -L 9999:ServerC:3306 user@serverB

As you can see, to get to 'Server C', the client application would connect to localhost:44444, sshd would bitpump traffic from TCP:44444 on the client to TCP:9999 on 'Server A'. Then through the second ssh tunnel between 'Server A' and 'Server B', sshd would bitpump traffic arriving at port TCP:9999 on 'Server A' and bitpump traffic to TCP:3306 on 'Server C' through 'Server B'.

Be responsible, make good choices. Have fun and don't kill anybody.

Policy-driven Content Filtering on the Netscaler Application Switch

I have a server with two separate web services on it. Both services are available through the same web application server, so port restriction isnt going to work in this case. I wanted to prevent remote users from accessing one of these load balanced services, so I used content filtering to drop any requests for this url.

> add expression e1 url == /dts
> add expression e2 url == /DTS
> add filter dts_filter -reqrule "e1||e2" -reqaction RESET

> add action dts_action Forward /dts /

> show action
> show filter
> bind lb vserver somename_vip -policyName dts_filter
