Change the listening port for RDP on your computer- Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2

by

When you connect to a computer (either a Windows client or Windows Server) through the Remote Desktop client, the Remote Desktop feature on your computer “hears” the connection request through a defined listening port (3389 by default). You can change that listening port on Windows computers by modifying the registry.

  1. Start the registry editor. (Type regedit in the Search box.)
  2. Navigate to the following registry subkey: KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
  3. Click Edit > Modify, and then click Decimal.
  4. Type the new port number, and then click OK.
  5. Close the registry editor, and restart your computer.

The next time you connect to this computer by using the Remote Desktop connection, you must type the new port. If you’re using a firewall, make sure to configure your firewall to permit connections to the new port number.

How to copy files using no owncloud web interface

by

Migrating was instant since we’re moving on the local fs. Checking the above screenshot you can see the rights are still the same of course. Own the folders to the ownCloud user and change the permissions to octal 755:

# Recursively own the folder to www-data

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data $OWNCLOUD_DATA_DIR/<user>/files/<folder>

# Set permissions so www-data has rwxr and group has read.

sudo chmod 755 $OWNCLOUD_DATA_DIR/<user>/files/<folder>

Moving a file/folder into ownCloud’s data directory doesn’t add it to the database automatically. Luckily, the ownCloud developers were kind enough to create a command line tool called occ that can manually add missing files and folders to the ownCloud database. You can run the following snippet on your server to check where this utility is located on the local file system:

find / -name "occ" 2>/dev/null

All you need to do is cd into that folder (in my case /var/www/owncloud) and run the following snippet:

For all account execute the following command:

sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan --all

For specific owncloud user id execute the following:

sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan <username>

Where www-data is the user your web server runs on. And now, it is time for the results:

YEAH!! So this command has definitely helped. Now you can add all your files directly into your ownCloud data folder without having to sync from the desktop client.

Increasing Attachment Size in Posfix

by

Postfix by default restrict attachment size to approx 10MB i.e. 10240000 bytes.

You can check it using following command:

postconf | grep message_size_limit

To change attachment-size to say 50 MB, run a command like:

postconf -e message_size_limit=52428800

Note:
If you are running a mail-server with SMTP/IMAP access, you need to change postfix attachment size only. I spent half-hour debugging dovecot to increase attachment size, just to realize that above change in postfix config was all I needed!

DNS Slave Using Virtualmin

by

DNS Slave Auto-Configuration Quickstart

A quick guide to assist administrators who want to use Virtualmin’s automatic DNS slave configuration features. This allows for DNS server redundancy.

Introduction

Virtualmin can automatically manage any number of DNS slave servers for you. Once configured, it will create slave zones on other servers and configure them to automatically update when changes are made on your Virtualmin server. For this to work, you need Virtualmin on your primary server and Webmin (a free download) on your slave server(s). Henceforth, all references will refer to the primary server as the “Virtualmin server” and the DNS slave server as the “slave server”.

Getting Webmin for the Slave

If you don’t have Virtualmin installed on your slave server(s), you’ll need to install Webmin. Webmin is available for nearly every UNIX and Linux variant available, and is free to download and use.

Force reboot of a remote Linux machine

by

To force the kernel to reboot the system we will be making use of the magic SysRq key.

The magic_SysRq_key provides a means to send low level instructions directly to the kernel via the /proc virtual file system.

To enable the use of  the magic SysRq option type the following at the command prompt:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq

Then to reboot the machine simply enter the following:

echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger

Voilà! Your system will instantly reboot.

Add a Static Route on CentOS

by

To add a temporary route:

ip route add 172.16.5.0/24 via 10.0.0.101 dev eth0

To make it persist system or network settings restart, create a route-ifname file for an interface through which the subnet is accessed, in this case eth0:

nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0

Add the line with the network settings for the other subnet:

172.16.5.0/24 via 10.0.0.101 dev eth0

If your computer is on a network and is not directly connected to the internet, it will be configured with what is called a default gateway, which is usually a router. If the computer cannot find the specific IP address on its local network (aka broadcast domain), as defined by its subnet, it will forward any packets headed to that IP address to the default gateway. The gateway will then attempt to forward packets elsewhere, such as the internet, or another broadcast domain

SOLVED Zimbra 8.6 HTTP ERROR 404 Problem accessing /public/error.jsp. Reason: /public/error.jsp

by

Do a quick search under the usual jetty folders:

find /opt/zimbra/jetty/ -type f -name *jsp -mtime -30

If you find files like:

/opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra/js/zimbra/csfe/XZimbra.jsp
/opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra/public/Ajax.jsp

you’re actually hacked.

Unlike the previous “zmcat” and “dblaunchs” that actually exploit the vuln and load some sh*t this looks like a bad childish attack. It seems that they delete some files under jetty dir, don’t know why. 
The attack vector is the same, but, there are no strange processes, there is no persistence.
