[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] html5 dependencies

by Richmond

This website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/html5 contains an html5 video. You have to be opted in to html5, it says if you are on the right hand side. This video wasn't working for me in seamonkey or firefox, until I enabled the Packman repository and installed Mplayer. So I think there are some dependencies which are not satisfied by installing firefox. But I think I read that firefox downloads some things on the fly for html5, so maybe it should check for libraries too? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE-13.1 update repo

by Philip Amadeo Saeli

I have an openSUSE-13.1 system that I have neglected update with the latest updates, and the assoc update repo now seems to have disappeared. Anyone know where I can find the updates to apply to the system? I'd like to archive the system in the fully updated condition when I am ready to switch to a newer system as well as to have the latest updates instaled during the brief time I will be using it until that time.

[opensuse] handling videos

[opensuse] i586 TW

by Richmond

Why is there an i586 of TW, when there is no Leap i586? What's the point of testing it if no one can use it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Wipe GPT partition table?

by Bjoern Voigt

What is the best way to wipe a GPT partition table completely from an USB key? (Background: My USB key contains a GPT partition table, probably from an OS installation (FreeNAS, openSUSE installation media ...). Parted, fdisk, gdisk have functions to create a new MSDOS partition table, but they do not wipe the GPT completely. As the result, Grub2 functions (grub2-install, YaST Bootloader) fail. Currently I do "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk/by-id/<my-usb-key-device> bs=64M", but this takes long.)

[opensuse] Is 40 dropped packets out of 300,000 high? This is wired cat5 LAN.

by Greg Freemyer

I happened to look at netstat -in with a large SMB upload ongoing and was surprised to see dropped packets. I'm on the client that is uploading the data to a Windows fileserver. They are on receive side which should not have much data in the packets at all. Just ACKs for the data being uploaded: > netstat -in; sleep 120; netstat -in Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth0 1500 0 1446805 0 105154 0 10527829 0 0 0 BMRU lo 65536 0 69 0 0 0 69 0 0 0 LRU Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth0 1500 0 1759965 0 105198 0 13887199 0 0 0 BMRU lo 65536 0 69 0 0 0 69 0 0 0 LRU If you look at the delta over those 2 minutes, it's 44 dropped RX packets out of a little over 300,000 overall received packets. It's not outrageous, but it caught me off-guard. And I don't often look at the number of dropped packets. The machines are just a few feet apart and connected to the same 1Gbit switch.

[opensuse] Tethering via USB cable no longer working - half solved.

Hi, When I tether via WiFi to my Android phone I get: minas-tirith:~ # ifconfig ... wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 0C:EE:E6:D7:BB:5F inet addr:192.168.43.53 Bcast:192.168.43.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::eee:e6ff:fed7:bb5f/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2558269 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1639469 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2837720447 (2706.2 Mb) TX bytes:191793814 (182.9 Mb) minas-tirith:~ # minas-tirith:~ # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 192.168.43.1 0.0.0.0 UG 600 0 0 wlan0 192.168.43.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 600 0 0 wlan0 minas-tirith:~ # This works.

So I move that file away and try to connect again. But I still get the same IP and GW. The NM applet informs that the current connection is "Auto Ethernet". How do I correct the situation? I have reinstated the "Samsung mobile via USB" profile set to autoIP, but doesn't work. I then noticed that the UUID is wrong, so I renamed the file to "Motorola USB", and changed the UUID. Now, finally, I get the IP set to "192.168.42.18" and GW to 192.168.42.129, and networking finally works via USB tethering. There must be some GUI way of doing this! -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
