[opensuse] IPv6 Rogue Router Security Issue

by Lew Wolfgang

Hi Folks, There seems to be a flurry of IPv6 talk going on, maybe this is time for me to bring up the rogue router problem again? I asked about this a couple of times over the years but could never find anyone to comment on it. First, here's the RFC that describes the problem: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6104 Rogue routers have affected me personally at a customer's site. This is a large, professionally managed, dual-stacked network with a number of v4 class B addresses and thousands of hosts. Subnets seem to be /20 CIDR in size, so there are plenty of "neighbors" on any given subnet. I've encountered the situation where misconfigured Windows systems will advertise themselves as an IPv6 router. They then happily accept traffic and drop it all silently on the floor. This problem doesn't seem to bother other Windows boxes too much, but it absolutely kills SSH connections. SSH preferentially tries IPv6 port 22, which when sent to a dumb Windows box results in very long hangups and connection failures. My workaround for my cohort of Linux desktops and servers was to disable IPv6 for both ssh and sshd. This will work for as long as the host network supports dual stacks, but eventually? Then there's the issue of intentional MITM attacks using this vector. If a bad actor has physical access to a subnet, or has compromised a host on that subnet, your goose is cooked. This link mentions some mitigations, but they're quite technical and may require hardware support. https://community.infoblox.com/t5/IPv6-Center-of-Excellence/Holding-IPv6-Ne… So, what is the threat to a home IPv6 user who has WiFi and an Internet of Things with minimal/non-existent security? I personally feel safer behind a nice natted IPv4 firewall with ACL rules between my copper and WiFi subnets. I just feel that I have more control of the situation with a simpler network. Has SUSE addressed this issue? Tell me I don't have to worry about it!

[opensuse] Again, trying to find a suitable video editor.

by Carlos E. R.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I simply can't find a suitable video editor that works. My goal is to extract the interesting parts of a TV recording. Ie, mark the start of the movie, the end, the commercials inside, and dump all that into a single file, perhaps recoding. One limitation is that movies here have two sound tracks, one in Spanish, and the other one in the original language, typically English. I want to keep both, obviously. I don't need any transition or effect, just a simple editor that allows me to remove unwanted sections. I have tried: pitivi - crashes on start LiVES - works for an hour at 100% CPU and can't load the file. dvbcut - says my mpeg file is not a video (and it certainly is!) tragtor - can convert, but not edit. openshot - almost. My video has two sound tracks, and this tool ignores the second track. cinelerra-cv - I can't make head or tails of it. I tell it to load a video file, it does, but then I don't see how to do anything. It doesn't even display the video. I may have to read the manual, but I dislike having to read a manual for a GUI. Still... kdenlive - Well... crashes too often. I can mark the cuts, but it does not display what I'm cutting. And only one sound track. HandBrake - no edit. Avidemux - one sound track only. Kino - abandonware. Lightworks ?? Shotcut - Segmentation fault on start. cer@Telcontar:~/Videos/Fusion/trabajo> shotcut QSqlDatabase: QSQLITE driver not loaded QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QSqlQuery::exec: database not open QSqlQuery::exec: database not open Database::Database(QObject*) Failed to get version. QSqlQuery::exec: database not open bool Database::upgradeVersion1() Failed to create thumbnails table. Database version is 0 Segmentation fault cer@Telcontar:~/Videos/Fusion/trabajo> Flowblade ?? I don't understand the tool. May need some reading. At least it runs. I would like something that would produce a command line to ffmpeg in a GUI. Then I could modify further the options. This would be ideal. tragtor works this way, but has no editor. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] leap42.1 - how do I get the hostname displayed on the GUI login/lock screen?

by Per Jessen

$SUBJ says it all - I'm missing the hostname. When several PC are connected via a kvm switch it's handy being able to tell where you are logging in. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] problems typing text (curious!)

by jdd

Hello, I try to copy/paste text from a "cat /etc/apache2/vhosts.d" on my leap server (through ssh). the goal is to write a document page on Pmwiki, but I get the same problem pasting in Thunderbird I'm in kde, also Leap 42.1 example below. I can't have the <Directory and /> on the same line, when I can have it there: <Directory /> (same for the other lines) the two of them are UTF8. I suspect some invisible character. How can I get rid of this annoying thing? Note: I don't know how to send you an example, Thunderbird fix the problem :-). See on right what I have when typing and on left the draft record. http://dodin.org/owncloud/index.php/s/2xcwaGr6hTjg75T so a solution is to type in in Thunderbird, record only as draft and copy paste the draft... thanks jdd cat /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/10.vhost.conf # forbid access to the entire filesystem by default <Directory /> Options None AllowOverride None # Order deny,allow # Deny from all Require all denied # RewriteEngine On # RewriteOptions Inherit #DirectoryIndex index.html index.php </Directory> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Email Server

by Paul Groves

Hi All, I am looking to set up an email server (on my existing home server). Any recommendations? I want the basic abilities (smtp imap and pop / mail groups / address books etc.) It will mainly be used with my wordpress / osticket installs as well as forwarding emails to lists. I have not set up a linux mail server before so would not know where to start. The server is opensuse 42.1 64-bit Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] IPv6 with Telekom Speedport W724V

by Bjoern Voigt

I have a problem with the IPv6 connectivity. The failing server uses openSUSE 42.1 and runs 24/7. The problem is probably caused by the bundled Telekom Speedport W724V router. The Telekom VDSL provider delivers dual (IPv4 and IPv6) connectivity and maybe the router has IPv6 privacy extensions enabled. But I like to have a solution without exchanging the router. The problem is, that openSUSE 42.1 loosed IPv6 connectivity after some time (probably after ~1 day, but I am not sure). IPv4 connectivity stays intact. For testing I use www.heise.de only with IPv6. This hangs: myuser@mybox:~> wget -6 http://www.heise.de/ --2016-10-24 11:55:36-- http://www.heise.de/ Resolving www.heise.de (www.heise.de)... 2a02:2e0:3fe:1001:7777:772e:2:85 Connecting to www.heise.de (www.heise.de)|2a02:2e0:3fe:1001:7777:772e:2:85|:80... ^C /sbin/ifconfig shows 15 (!)

[opensuse] hdparm on boot and YaST

by Juan R. de Silva

About a month ago I run a cross a post in forums showing the way to run something like 'hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda' upon boot by simply setting some parameter in YaST. Foolishly enough I managed to loose the post and I do not remember it in details. I googled for over an hour now and I cannot come across it any more. Anybody can make a suggestion here, please? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Actual capacity of SDXC cards

by Anton Aylward

I bought some 32G micro SD cards on eBay, and on advice I check to see if they were all actually 32G. There's a program available under Linux called "f3". I'm running 3.5.0 http://oss.digirati.com.br/f3/ What it does is write a pattern, step and repeat To quote from the man page <quote> F3 (Fight Flash Fraud or Fight Fake Flash) tests the full capacity of a flash card (flash drive, flash disk, pendrive). It writes to the card and then checks if can read it. It will assure you haven't been sold a card with a smaller capacity than stated. When writing to flash drive, f3write fills the filesystem with 1GB files named N.h2w, where N is a number (i.e. /[0-9]+/). </quote> The the f3read program verifies. You have control over the starting and ending numbers, so if you think the 32G drive is actually a 8G you can skip the first 6G and just do 7G to 9G. I found that indeed the 32G labelled chips were actually 8G. There's a tool that re-writes the chip ID info and so I made sure that theses 8G chips said they were 8G. And I got my money back. FOSS wins out again. There are free version of similar tools for Windows as well. ------------------- I do however have a question. Running these tests takes a lot of time. I'm wondering if there is a quicker way. I'm wondering if there is a file system whereby the mkfs builds a FS structure all the way down to the supposed end of the media, perhaps some kind of b-tree, then the fsck verifies it actually is what it supposed to be, that if the supposed 32G was actually a 8G and writes wrapped around somehow. checking the (empty, before commuting data) tree structure would show this up and give some clue as to the where? It seems reasonable to me, but a simple fsck fail would not give information on the actual size, would it? Just that the structure was buqqered. Any thoughts on this? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Missing h.264 support in Firefox 44.0

by Krisztián Angyal

Hi I got a problem with playing videos in firefox 44.0 under opensuse leap 42.1. I installed codecs like written on the http://opensuse-guide.org/codecs.php website, but the problem still exists. When I open youtube's html5 support site, I can see, that the codecs are correctly installed and working, excepted H.264. Firefox can play html5 videos, but other sites like vimeo or tumblr can't. All values under about:config -> mediasource.*.enabled are true. Youtube can play html5 videos, but many other sites like facebook, tumblr etc. can't. How could I let firefox play mp4 videos? Thank you for your help :) -- Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards Krisztián Angyal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
