How secure is Grex?
| 
Sep 13 19:04 UTC 2005 |
Grex's Labor Day Massacre which caused a week's downtime and apparently
a big mess, ought to be a wake up call. Is Grex's security outdated?
Is Grex more vulnerable to attack now therefore than its ever been
before? Is the only way for grex to secure itself from attacks to do
drastic things like closing newuser, eliminating email and .etc? One
hates to think that some wiseass juvenile hacker with too much time on
his hands can attack grex and take it down that easily. Perhaps the
staff ought to recommend new security measures?

Grex isn't secure...never has been, never will be. But this isn't to say
that we shouldn't take new security measures. I'm wondering how often
the system's security logs are reviewed. This might be a way for some of
us to help out the system administrators, as it wouldn't require us to
have any higher security authorization.

We keep tons of logs. We reduced the size of one of the user partitions
to create more space for logs. Of course, no one ever looks at them.

resp:0 implies that the "trashing" of /etc (including the password file)
was due to hacking / vandalism. Is that in fact true? Or was it flaky
hardware or software?

This item was entered by richard, who really is not in a position to make
any definitive statements to cause of the outage.
Personally, I think it's flakey software, newuser to be specific. But I don't
know what is flakey about it.
