OpenSSL Heartbleed Vulnerable Server Testing

It seems that the OpenSSL heartbeat vulnerability (heartbleed) has not caused that many issues so far, and many servers are patched already. I believe there's a lot of hype behind it. However, time will tell if it causes any impact. Also we may never know what exactly is leaked, we can only know that a hack was attempted by using snort or another IDS/IPS. The version command doesn't really say if you're running 1.0.1[a-f], but it's safe to say that if your version is 1.0.1.[anything] and it's timestamp is older than April 2014, then that version is vulnerable.

These services may be vulnerable:
Any service that runs OpenSSL and uses the STARTTLS method
The TOR client
SMTPS
IMAPS
Android OS
Postgres database
The Salt Stack cluster execution manager


Here's the original vulnerability:
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0160

Here's the OpenSSL patch to the vulnerable portion of code:
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/731f431497f463f3a2a97236fe0187b11c44aead

Here's a google search for all mentions of heartbeat (but not heartbleed) under github.com/openssl:
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Agithub.com%2Fopenssl+heartbeat&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

This is a search of github.com for heartbleed:
https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&q=site%3Agithub.com+heartbleed&oq=site%3Agithub.com+heartbleed

Here is a quick tool in Python to test for the vulnerability,
http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/32745/

There's a great writeup at heartbleed.com which goes into detail about the issue. To quote their website:

We have tested some of our own services from attacker's perspective. We attacked ourselves from outside, without leaving a trace. Without using any privileged information or credentials we were able steal from ourselves the secret keys used for our X.509 certificates, user names and passwords, instant messages, emails and business critical documents and communication.

There is a metasploit script available for use:

https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/tree/master/modules/auxiliary/scanner/ssl

You can type this OpenSSL command (tested with gnuwin32 openssl binary version 1.0.1.6, dated 1/14/2014). By the way, this version does not have the -tlsextdebug parameter, perhaps it was compiled by the gnuwin32 team without this option.

s_client -connect a23-75-248-141.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com:443 -debug -state

Once connected type B and you'll see on a vulnerable host and you won't be disconnected:


B

You will get a heartbeat response that looks similar to this one.


On a patched host, you will see a response similar to below and you'll be disconnected:

Batch Files To Launch VMWare Workstation 7 and VMWare player Services And Close On Exit

I created batch files to start VMWare Workstation 7.0 and VMWare player. It starts the different VMWare services and stops them when VMWare is closed. This was tested on XP, Vista and later may be different.

Workstation batch file:

net start ufad-ws60
net start VMAuthdservice
net start vmnetdhcp
net start "vmware nat service"
net start vmusbarbservice

f:
cd "\VMWare Workstation 7"
vmware.exe

net stop ufad-ws60
net stop VMAuthdservice
net stop vmnetdhcp
net stop "vmware nat service"
net stop vmusbarbservice

Player batch file:

net start ufad-ws60
net start VMAuthdservice
net start vmnetdhcp
net start "vmware nat service"
net start vmusbarbservice

f:
cd "\VMWare Workstation 7"
vmplayer.exe

net stop ufad-ws60
net stop VMAuthdservice
net stop vmnetdhcp
net stop "vmware nat service"
net stop vmusbarbservice

Install Chrome Web Store Plugins In Chromium Or SRWare Iron

If you use Iron, the version of Chrome that is privacy enhanced by default, you can install plugins from the official Chrome Webstore.

Proxy Switchy for example, uses this URL for browsing from the webstore:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/proxy-switchysharp/https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/proxy-switchy/caehdcpeofiiigpdhbabniblemipncjj

But this is the actual installation URL for the CRX file:

https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx?response=redirect&x=id%3Dcaehdcpeofiiigpdhbabniblemipncjj%26uc%26lang%3Dde&prod=chrome

Note the parameter after the id%3D in the url. Once you find the extension you'd like to install in the Webstore, simply replace the red text in the installation URL with the portion of the Webstore URL that looks like random letters and numbers such as the gobbledygook below, and paste the url into the iron or chromium "OneBar", then it should install the extension.

fdsjfkddddkkddjfjghttjfurjvvhggg

These ID's are thirty-two characters long and made up of lowercase letters.

There's a page on the Gentoo Linux Wiki that explains this as well.

Febuary 4, 2015 Update:
It appears that this method no longer works for some reason.

I've started pumping iron again. Mainly free weights with upper body using a dumbbell. Legs and anything that put force on my back not possible at the moment due to possible slipped disc.

I remember as a freshman at Mandeville High School (yes I went there for one year and sat next to miss teen louisiana, Sarah Price, CHS Lions fans) the football players had a chart that shows, given the maximum weight you can lift for a given lift, curl, press etc..., how much to increase your weight lifting at each workout. Does anyone have a chart like this or follow a general rule for upping your weights? Is it better to increase by a fixed rate, say, 5 lbs, or a certain percent? I am aware that to get bulkier you want to do shorter repetitions with heavier weights and for leaner, endurance-type muscle you should do more repititions with less weight.

I am leaning toward just doing whatever I can whenever I can (this will save time as well) until a given weight is easy, and then increase the weight. This would be simpler to stick to as I'm not aiming to be Bruce Lee, just increase my overall strength and long-term health. My favorite quote of Bruce Lee's is (well really the only quote I know, hah) "A man must constantly exceed his level."

SonicWall SSL-VPN setup from SSH Command-Line

Here's how to configure the Sonicwall SSL-VPN from the CLI. I'm trying to improve my SonicWall command line skills, so I thought I'd post this here.

In addition to below, you'll also need to add your user to the SSL-VPN group under Users, Local Users.

I left out the part where you exit the config mode and are prompted to save the configuration. Just type yes.

This uses the tunnel-all mode. You'll need to setup add your routes manually if you're limiting access to certain networks.

3com asterisk binaries

Here's 3com's asterisk, v 1.4.1.1, with install instructions (it runs on an embedded type of board). I don't know anything else about this device and software, other than it has device os/flash and boot images. There's some manuals on hp's website for this device*. Hopefully this helps.

If this violates copyrights, please leave a comment and I'll remove it.

eBay Removing Wildcards in Searches! (the '*' or asterisk)

Here's the email eBay just sent me. I think the net effect on searches will be negative. It's too bad Google doesn't just buy eBay. Then the search would vastly improve.

Your saved searches will change on November 5

Dear ****,

You're receiving this email because we noticed that you are using a wildcard (search terms with a *) in one or more of your saved searches in My eBay.

Starting on November 5, we will no longer support wildcard searches. We encourage you to revise your saved searches to whole words without the *.

Why are we making this change?

We've made many recent improvements to our search capabilities on eBay that now take into account many spelling variations. This has helped us to offer better search results to our buyers and sellers.

However, after November 5, your wildcard searches will not return the same results you're used to seeing. This means that you may possibly miss out on the new and recently-listed items that you're used to seeing in your saved searches in My eBay and in the emails that we send to you.

Here's how to revise your saved search terms

Replace any * in a wildcard search term with whole words.

EXAMPLE: Replace "Floral silk scar*" with "Floral silk scarf"

You can also include various spellings in a single search term by adding it in parentheses, with each additional term separated by a comma.

EXAMPLE: Replace "Floral silk scar*" with "Floral silk (scarf, scarfs, scarves)"

You can also exclude items from the results for your saved search by adding a "-(items to be excluded)".

EXAMPLE: Replace "Porcelain minifigur* -lot*" with " Porcelain (minifigure, minifigurines) -(lot, lots)"

Please update your saved searches today, so you can stay on top of the things you're most interested in finding on eBay.

Thanks for shopping on eBay!

Collection Of Blackberry Apps Liberated from App Store

This is LifeInPocket aka Life In Pocket version 0.733, a FREE! GPS Navigation App (it's an ad-sponsored app).  It may require Blackberry OS 5. I haven't used it on earlier versions. You might be able to get it to work:


http://www.4shared.com/folder/Tk1oawHE/0_online.html




This is MapQuest 4 Mobile, 8530-Generic, version 1.10.1, downloaded Over-The-Air from MapQuest. It does do directions and maps from your Blackberry's GPS location, but it doesn't go hands-free spoken navigation. It's a great app for traveling and vacations and long trips, not for short trips and commutes. Unlike Google Maps and other free GPS apps I've used, it actually gives the name of the highway and not just the highway number:


http://www.4shared.com/dir/NMUJoGgc/110.html




I'll be adding more apps to this post as I find the time.




Here's a bunch of other apps, dumped with BBSAK from AppWorld or OTA downloads. If you need any of them just leave a comment here and I'll upload them when I can.

Pandora Radio Is REALLY REALLY AWESOME!

I know I sometimes have a glacial mindset and am slow to new things, but I've realized how awesome Pandora internet radio is!!!!!!!! You choose a radio station that's based on an artist or song, and click a thumbs up to hear more songs like the one you've heard, or thumbs down for one's you don't want to hear as much. Pandora learns your tastes.As you listen to other 'stations', eventually after awhile you can just play the quickmix station and it will play varied music from all your stations. Essentially it's a customized radio station. Even Satellite radio can't beat that! If you want to follow me on Pandora, I'll follow you back,

Syncing Android, iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Outlook and Gmail Contacts

Funambol is open-source, has an outlook plugin,  as well as apps for android, blackberry, windows mobile, symbian, iphone, and generic java micro edition phones! 

Your contacts, notes, calendar and pictures are online at http://my.funambol.com/

IT'S THE ONLY FREE SYNC APP I'VE EVER FOUND THAT CAN BACKUP MY BLACKBERRY'S NOTES WITHOUT A USB CABLE! AND THAT'S GREAT BECAUSE I LOST A FEW IMPORTANT NOTES (EG GREAT BUSINESS IDEAS) BECAUSE I WASN'T DOING DAILY BLACKBERRY DESKTOP MANAGER BACKUPS THROUGH USB!

Since they just released the Blackberry app, I've noticed the web interface isn't always online. Also the blackberry app and the service is still beta, so continue using Google Sync or m:IQ (eg miqlive) as well!

You can even host your own funambol server, in case you don't want your phone's data "in the cloud"! If you run your own sync server you can even synchronize with Microsoft Exchange, Google Contacts, Zimbra, or Yahoo!.

I cross-posted this from my post in the Gmail Help Forums.

The Inbox Of The Future

This post is a copy of my comment on universal inboxes.

Like the author said, not having to leave the interface is the best solution.
For example, I like how one can reply to someone's facebook comment through the email program. It looked like Myspace was trying to do this (based on the fact that every email notification had some unique string in the 'from' address).

Ultimately Gmail will have to provide some kind of api for integrating outside 3rd-party messaging systems (eg a plugin or "Lab" for other not just reading but replying to IM messages, social networking site inboxes, etc...), to compete with Facebook's idea of a universal inbox that pulls them all together.

Hitman Pro "Early Warning Scoring

The early warning scoring could be used to identify files that need further scanning, eg by uploading to virustotal.com for further "in the cloud" analysis.

USPS Shipping Tracking/Order Through RSS and SMS (Text Mesage)

I am compiling a list of the options that USPS uses on their shipping tracking numbers. I remember a few years ago that the U.S. Postal Service would only show that the package was either delivered or shipped. Now they show a little bit more timely updates, such as when it reaches the destination cities' sort facility and leaves the origination cities' sort facility, as you can see below. I hope that "Processed through Sort Facility" this means it arrives today.

Processed through Sort Facility, Mar-28-10, 03:26 AM, [Destination Facility]
Processed through Sort Facility, [Origin City]

Electronic Shipping Info Received, [Origin City]


Package was tracked with the uber cool boxoh.net package tracker + notify.me (which sends me a text when the status is changed)

How-To Run Programs On FAT32/16 Drives As Another User

Flash drives come from the factory FAT-formatted. This is recommended for purposes of speed and extending the drives life, AFAIK. If you want to run a portable application (Eg. one that doesn't require installation) from an external or flash drive, and you use Windows in a multiple user mode as recommended by Microsoft (where you use the computer as a regular user and install programs and perform maintenance as the administrator account), you're stuck in a predicament. Programs stored on FAT file-systems are not able to run as a user with different credentials (which means as the admin in the case of certain utilities which require direct disk access, MyDefrag for example). It's Microsoft's fault for not backporting certain things to the File Allocation Table (couldn't they store the extra ntfs stream data or extant data inside a text file in each directory)?

A solution I've found is to place the shortcut on your Desktop or Start Menu and modify the shortcut's properties to run as a different user (go to right-click, properties, shortcut, Advanced,  and select "Run with different credentials"). In the case of working on someone elses computer you can create a batch file on the portable drive itself which has the runas command, eg "runas /user:administrator Mydefrag.exe scripts\OptimizeMonthy.Myd". That's it!

Techreevu's Google Voicehub Can Dial Letters!

I couldn't remember the number for Slydial so I typed 267-slydial directly into the Google Voice Desktop-based dialer I use (now called VoiceHub, originally called Lev's Google Voice app???). And no, there's still no way to actually place calls through the Internet only unless you were one of the fortunate few who got a Gizmo5/Gizmo Project account before they were bought by Google, AFAIK. Dialing by letters doesn't work on the GV web interface, so apparently the Techreevu app is doing the conversion.

Should I keep these Google Voice related posts here or move them over to my Google Voice Fanatic Blog? What do the three readers of my blog think?

What's The Most Secure Windows Firewall?

The reason I ask is, Google isn't much help in this most important security matter. What do I recommend to my computer repair business customers who trust my judgement? I don't like to tell a customer that there is no perfect firewall/anti-virus/anti-spyware/anti-rootkit program, even though it's true, as any who has ever read the Phrack e-zine or 2600 magazine knows.

Don't Pay Best Buy To Uninstall Their Adware/Malware/Trial Software

My sister bought a laptop from Best Buy that had a lot of problems almost right away. The Trend Micro combination security/virus scanning software had some error. Also it had ran really slowly and had problems with the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer. Finally, it had a horrendous amount of other garbage installed and trial-ware to boot. Me, being the families system administrator and technical support by default, was at that time out of town on this occasion. Best Buy charged a friend forty dollars to uninstall their junk and fix all the problems she had, when only a mere two months old! (There's a program that can remove most of the junk programs installed on new computers called PC Decrapifier). She could have just returned it to HP, but for various reasons, she didn't want to take that course of action. Ironically, a few months later, and just eighty days before the warranty was ended, another problem with the system's memory cropped up which was fixed for no charge by HP. The screen cracked on its own too! Moral of the story: Best Buy is pretty bad. HP is less awful.

As a general rule, if you want a good computer with hardware that will last, get the business-class models.

Publicly Posted Google Voicemails are listed in Yahoo! Search

Concerning this post, Google Voice Blog: About Voicemail and Privacy

They are still in in Yahoo!, of course, as every SEO'er knows Google is the most strict in removing robots.txt content. Although in this case, Google probably manually edited the results for privacy reasons.

My Google Wave Invitation Request

Here's what I asked on the Google Wave invitation request web site.

I want to collaborate with others in my corporation in real-time and prefer to use web-based tools to enhance productivity and avoid information being locked up in silos such as inboxes and MS Sharepoint behind a firewall.

What did you ask in your request?

Howto Check Your Voicemail From Any Phone For Free!

This guide will show you how-to check your voice-mail from any phone for free! This works well especially if you have some sort of unlimited long-distance phone system, like MagicJack, Voip, or Google Voice with a Friends & Family cellular phone.

There are two ways to do this. The first and easiest way is by calling your own phone number, then when your phone goes to the 'leave a voicemail' prompt, press the Star Key (called Asterisk in the phone world) and enter your voice-mail pin code and Bam! You're in.

There's a more complicated way to do this (and also a way to leave someone a voice mail without even ringing their phone or using Slydial [Slydial does leave your number but only rings for half a second]), but I'll add it to this post later because it's not possible to explain in a few words.

Google Voice/Grandcentral Email Support

IF you ever need help email voice-help (at) google.com with your pin#, google voice number, cell number, the date you opened the account and associated google account username. Also it would be smart to send a carbon-copy (cc) to these addresses,

support (at) grandcentral.com, grandcentral-help (at) google.com, accounts (at) grandcentral.com
