| Server Outage | |
| Submitted by Dylan Reeve on 10 May 2007 - 1:08am | News |
| Approximately 1am on Saturday, May 5th, the server which hosts this site, the NZLUG mailing lists, and other associated services, was attacked via a PHP vulnerability in a third-party PHP application, and the attacker gained a user-level shell on the machine. This attack was used to launch a flood attack against an overseas IP address. Unfortunately this traffic had a very heavy impact on the network of our hosting provider. As a result they had no choice but to disconnect the server from the network. Unfortunately it was quite some time before we were able to gain access to the server to investigate. Our hosting provider has said they are unwilling to continue hosting the server. A new US-based server has been arranged and has been configured. The services have now been mostly reinstated, and actions have been taken to prevent a repeat of anything like this incident. Thanks and sorry about the outage. | |
| Major outage | |
| Submitted by Nic Bellamy on 28 Feb 2007 - 1:08am | News |
| A power glitch at our datacenter this past Monday (26th Feb) hastened the demise of our hardware; basically, the magic smoke leaked out. We've recovered most of the data (except the really important bits of course ;-) and we're rebuilding everything onto new hardware. Obviously, this is taking some time to get completed - with luck, the mailing lists should be alive again shortly. *yawn* Immense thanks go to Liz from debian.co.nz for the massive amount of help she has been in getting our data recovered and onto the new hardware. | |

Abstract: Security Enhanced Linux was released to the open source community by the US National Security Agency in September, 2001. Since then it has been rapidly adopted as a practical means of enforcing strict security policies within the Linux system. It has been included as a standard part of the 2.6 kernel and will be released in the Fedora Core 2 distribution. During this presentation, Kerry will present the "what, why, and howto" for SELinux covering areas of access control models through to installation and troubleshooting. There will be a live demonstration if time permits. Kerry Thompson has been involved with the SELinux project for about 2 years, and is the author of the (unofficial) SELinux FAQ. Please remember to bring a packet of nibbles to eat. Tea and Coffee will kindly be provided by Asterisk. Thanks to Asterisk for the use of this venue. | |||||||||
