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. Continue reading “SOLVED Zimbra 8.6 HTTP ERROR 404 Problem accessing /public/error.jsp. Reason: /public/error.jsp” »

Setup a Site to Site IPsec VPN With Strongswan and PreShared Key Authentication

by

0

Today we will setup a Site to Site ipsec VPN with Strongswan, which will be configured with PreShared Key Authentication.

After our tunnels are established, we will be able to reach the private ips over the vpn tunnels.

Get the Dependencies:
Update your repository indexes and install strongswan:

$ apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
$ apt install strongswan -y

Set the following kernel parameters:

$ cat >> /etc/sysctl.conf << EOF
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0 
net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0
EOF

$ sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

Generate Preshared Key:
We will need a preshared key that both servers will use: Continue reading “Setup a Site to Site IPsec VPN With Strongswan and PreShared Key Authentication” »

Configure Apache With Self-Signed TLS/SSL Certificate on Ubuntu 16.04

by

0

Step 1: Generating the certificate

First, let’s create a place to store the file.

mkdir ~/certificates
cd ~/certificates

Generate CSR and private key.

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout apache.key -out apache.crt -days 365 -nodes

It will ask for information for the certificate request. Complete with the appropriate information.

Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]: US
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]: FL
Locality Name (eg, city) []: Miami
Organization Name (eg, company) [My Company]: My Company
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:

Common name should be your domain name or the server’s IP address. Also, fill in your email. Continue reading “Configure Apache With Self-Signed TLS/SSL Certificate on Ubuntu 16.04” »

Upgrade PHP version to 7.2 from 7.0 on Ubuntu 16.04

by

0

Check your PHP version installed

Before we start, we can simply type the following command to check the existing PHP version installed on the server.

$ php -v

If you installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, you will get PHP 7.0.30 installed on your server by running installation script from VestaCP. In this tutorial, we will upgrade our PHP version to 7.2 to enjoy more features and bug fixes.

Check your PHP modules installed

To check installed PHP modules in Ubuntu, type the following command (as Ubuntu makes PHP modules available via packages):

$ dpkg — get-selections | grep -v deinstall | grep php7.0

Remember mark installed modules list, as you need to install them again after upgraded to PHP 7.2. We don’t need to install mcrypt as it has been dropped from PHP 7.2.

In this tutorial, we need to install those modules again: Continue reading “Upgrade PHP version to 7.2 from 7.0 on Ubuntu 16.04” »

Ubuntu old repository add

by

0

If you want to continue using an outdated release then edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com.

You can do this with sed:

sudo sed -i -re 's/([a-z]{2}\.)?archive.ubuntu.com|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

then update with:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Sometimes, it might be faster to create backups of your system and reinstall using supported release instead.

Install CakePHP 3 On Ubuntu 16.04

by

0

This guide assumes you’ve set up a Ubuntu 14.04 server and have MYSQL up and running. This guide uses the “PHPMyAdmin” from the “One Click Apps” available on Digital Ocean running on a vps running Ubuntu 16.04. The smallest memory (512mb) should be enough to get you up and running.

If you don’t have a Digital Ocean account (you should, they’re a great service) get one here.

Step 1: Update Package Manager

ssh root@YOUR-IP

Note: If this is the first time you’ve logged into your vps, you will be asked to change the password from the one emailed to you when you created your vps. This is fairly self explanatory, simply follow the prompts.

Update your package manager:

sudo apt-get update

Step 2: Install Some PHP Modules

We need to install a few PHP modules that CakePHP uses. Namely the curl, zip, intl and sqlite modules. Continue reading “Install CakePHP 3 On Ubuntu 16.04” »

Installing Smokeping on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

by

Installing Smokeping on Ubuntu used to be a total breeze. Since 14.04 however, it’s been a bit of a mission.

This guide assumes a fresh out of the box Ubuntu install. I’m using the 64bit Server variety, but this should work on any 14.04 system.

UPDATE – It also works perfectly on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server :~)

Step 1: install smokeping (and you’re done).

sudo apt-get install smokeping -y

Step 2:  normally, you’d be done by now.. But things have changed.

sudo nano /etc/smokeping/config.d/pathnames

You’re going to want to go into the pathnames file and comment out the line about mail. Setting up mail to work with smokeping is outside the scope of this post. Because I’m lazy.

Do this:

#sendmail = /usr/sbin/sendmail

Then hit CTRL-O, Enter, CTRL-X. That’s how you save a file in Nano, I won’t stick that bit in again. Continue reading “Installing Smokeping on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS” »
