Busy week for those of us celebrating the Holidays no doubt, and a
busy week for the FidoGazette :)
I wrote an article also showing some IPtables commands I use on my
system to stop hackers from repeatedly hitting my servers on BBBS.
If I don't use these commands, repeated hits from hackers that
often slam into my servers multiple times in a minute can tie up
all 15 nodes of my bbs. Since I started using these commands, that
has stopped. I hope this helps those of you running Linux who have
run into that kind of thing.
This week we also have a great announcement about WWIV bbs software
which has been updated! Good news for WWIV sysops no doubt, and
for those looking for a new interesting package.
And this week we have a funny story in the humor section I think
you'll enjoy.
Merry Christmas to all, and for those of you who celebrate other
holidays of the season, I hope you enjoy them.
Finally, I end this editorial with best hopes and wishes for the
quick recovery of Anita Felten, wife of Bjorn Felten and wishes for
strength for Bjorn himself. Those of us who have been hit with
illness in our partners or family members know how hard it can be
to deal with such things.

Use IPTables for Telnet and WWW Servers
by Janis Kracht, 1:261/38, janis@filegate.net
If your system is like mine, it can on occasion be inundated
with jokers trying to crash various servers. Using iptables
under Ubuntu takes care of that for me.
This article doesn't replace the ubuntu howto located here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
or the tutorial here:
https://www.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial/iptables-tutorial.html
but shows you how I use iptables for my bbs system. You can
read more about all the specific commands I use here in those
documents.
You can create a collection of firewall rules to deny access
from remote clients who attempt to connect "too many" times.
All versions of Ubuntu come with iptables installed. You can see
this by typing the following command:
user@filegate:~# which iptables
/sbin/iptables
By default iptables as installed, allows all traffic. You can check
the state of your iptables before working with the examples in
article by typing
user@filegate$ iptables -L
The interface you use is of course important in these rules. If you
are not sure of the interface you are using you are probably using
eth0. You can use the iwconfig command to see if you are using any
wireless interfaces:
user@filegate:~/$ sudo iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
or to see the network interfaces on your system you can type
user@filegate:$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
See below for examples to "guard" a telnet server, and then below
it, for a web server. I use these rules to limit attacks on my
BBBS telnet port and BBBS web port.
For telnet port 23:
[Rule one] Enter the line below at the command prompt. This
line wraps so make sure you get it all.
---------------------------------------------------------------
| sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 23 -i eth0 -m state |
| --state NEW -m recent --set |
---------------------------------------------------------------
[Rule two] This is the line that really does all the work. I
have the hitcount set to 4 hits in 60 seconds. You can make
these numbers anything you like. With this setting, anyone who
connects to my telnet port more that 4 times in 60 seconds is
dropped immediately.
---------------------------------------------------------------
| sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 23 -i eth0 -m state |
| --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 4 -j |
| DROP |
---------------------------------------------------------------
"--state NEW" says only new connections are tested or managed.
The --set parameter in the first line will make sure that the IP
address connecting will be added to the "recent list", where it can
be tested and used again as in our second rule.
You can use iptables to control who has access to your servers
with the "recent" module.
These two lines will DROP an incoming connection if the IP address
has previously been added to the list, and the IP address sent a
packet in the past 60 seconds, and the IP address has sent more
than 4 packets.
For my webserver on port 8080 I change the port in both lines,
using 8080 instead of the telnet port, 23.
----------------------------------------------------------------
| sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -i eth0 -m state |
| --state NEW -m recent --set |
----------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
| sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -i eth0 -m state |
| --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 4 -j |
| DROP |
---------------------------------------------------------------
To list your current iptables rules, you can use this command:
user@filegate.net# iptables --list
Sometimes you need to change your rules. These commands will
flush your iptables filewall, and remove all currently active
rules:
iptables -F
iptables -X
Thanks to the Debian wiki for examples of these commands.
Corrections, comments welcome :)

WWIV and WWIVNet Update From The New NC
By Weatherman 1@1
As many know, lots of things have been happening with WWIV BBS and
WWIVnet over the past few years. When Weather Station BBS came back
online as a virtual machine around three years ago, the only networks
that were available were FTN based. About 7-8 months later, I was
approached by Eli Sanford to join WWIVSN (the early beginnings of the
resurrected WWIVnet). Eli spent lots of time helping others and
leading the path so that we could have a functional WWIV network like
years ago.
On a very sad day (October 26, 2015), our WWIVnet leader Eli Sanford
passed from leukemia. We were in shock and upset from the news. A few
weeks went by as we were mourning the loss of Eli and then later,
figuring out plans to keep WWIVnet alive.
We agreed to meet in the WWIV chat room on Monday evening to decide
how to move forward. The first item of business was determining the
new @1 node for WWIVnet. Rushfan suggested myself and the rest of
the group was on-board with that change. I was very humbled by the
votes of support and encouragement. It has been my passion to keep
WWIV and WWIVnet alive in the most resiliant way possible. My hardware
setup is robust for a home environment and offers a good deal
redundancy. I will always do my best to make sure WWIVnet is running
the best way possible.
That same night, we decided to make a historic change for WWIVnet.
We switched the entire network from using WINS (PPP Project) to
NetworkB (BinkP) written by Rushfan. Given the magnatude of changes
that we made that night, I think it went fantastic! We have been
running completely using BinkP for WWIVnet ever since. It has proved
to be a major step forward! I can't thank Rushfan enough for writing
that program, as that was a HUGE step forward!
In more recent news, we now have the ability to send out network
updates using NetUp just like the legacy WWIVnet. WSS provided a
new version of NetUp for WWIVnet which has been working
perfectly sending out network updates, subs listings, and even this
WWIVnet news. This brings us back to the functionality that we had
with the legacy WWIVnet. It has been well over a decade since this was
possible.
I am completely honored to be a part of such an excellent group of
people that have done so much for WWIV and WWIVnet in the past few
years. Highlighting the past few months as just nothing short of
incredible with the move to NetworkB (BinkP). That was as huge of a
change for WWIVnet as when we started moving network packets using
Frank Reid's PPP Project (SMTP).
This has been a very fun road for our hobby and I'm very excited for
what the future holds. I'm sure as more people discover our
milestones, additional people will re-connect and join our fantastic
group. We will also not forget Eli and all the hard work he did to
start the WWIVnet comeback.
Here is a toast to the bright future of WWIV and WWIVnet!

WWIV 5.1 Release Goals
By Rushfan 1@514
Main Themes
~~~~~~~~~~~
Messages and WWIVNet have always been at the heart of WWIV. For 5.1, I
plan on modernizing and improving the internal code quality of the
messaging code, making it easier to embed into new tools. Included in
this will be support for the JAM Message Base format to broaden the
range of tools available for exposing message bases.
More on JAM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAM_Message_Base_Format
Net38 will be finalized [currently Beta 6] and released supporting any
new changes to get WWIVNet functioning in the Internet era.

The Impossible Problem
mark lewis - 1:3634/12
i found this while rummaging about on the 'net... it struck me as
rather intriguing and then really funny when the solution was
deduced... so without further ado, here it is...
http://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles
From: Trey Harris
Here's a problem that *sounded* impossible... I almost regret
posting the story to a wide audience, because it makes a great tale
over drinks at a conference. :-) The story is slightly altered in
order to protect the guilty, elide over irrelevant and boring
details, and generally make the whole thing more entertaining.
I was working in a job running the campus email system some
years ago when I got a call from the chairman of the statistics
department.
"We're having a problem sending email out of the department."
"What's the problem?" I asked.
"We can't send mail more than 500 miles," the chairman explained.
I choked on my latte. "Come again?"
"We can't send mail farther than 500 miles from here," he repeated.
"A little bit more, actually. Call it 520 miles. But no farther."
"Um... Email really doesn't work that way, generally," I said,
trying to keep panic out of my voice. One doesn't display panic
when speaking to a department chairman, even of a relatively
impoverished department like statistics. "What makes you think you
can't send mail more than 500 miles?"
"It's not what I *think*," the chairman replied testily. "You see,
when we first noticed this happening, a few days ago--"
"You waited a few DAYS?" I interrupted, a tremor tinging my voice.
"And you couldn't send email this whole time?"
"We could send email. Just not more than--"
"--500 miles, yes," I finished for him, "I got that. But why
didn't you call earlier?"
"Well, we hadn't collected enough data to be sure of what was going
on until just now." Right. This is the chairman of *statistics*.
"Anyway, I asked one of the geostatisticians to look into it--"
"Geostatisticians..."
"--yes, and she's produced a map showing the radius within which we
can send email to be slightly more than 500 miles. There are a
number of destinations within that radius that we can't reach,
either, or reach sporadically, but we can never email farther than
this radius."
"I see," I said, and put my head in my hands. "When did this
start? A few days ago, you said, but did anything change in your
systems at that time?"
"Well, the consultant came in and patched our server and rebooted
it. But I called him, and he said he didn't touch the mail
system."
"Okay, let me take a look, and I'll call you back," I said,
scarcely believing that I was playing along. It wasn't April
Fool's Day. I tried to remember if someone owed me a practical
joke.
I logged into their department's server, and sent a few test mails.
This was in the Research Triangle of North Carolina, and a test
mail to my own account was delivered without a hitch. Ditto for
one sent to Richmond, and Atlanta, and Washington. Another to
Princeton (400 miles) worked.
But then I tried to send an email to Memphis (600 miles). It
failed. Boston, failed. Detroit, failed. I got out my address
book and started trying to narrow this down. New York (420 miles)
worked, but Providence (580 miles) failed.
I was beginning to wonder if I had lost my sanity. I tried
emailing a friend who lived in North Carolina, but whose ISP was in
Seattle. Thankfully, it failed. If the problem had had to do with
the geography of the human recipient and not his mail server, I
think I would have broken down in tears.
Having established that -- unbelievably -- the problem as reported
was true, and repeatable, I took a look at the sendmail.cf file.
It looked fairly normal. In fact, it looked familiar.
I diffed it against the sendmail.cf in my home directory. It
hadn't been altered -- it was a sendmail.cf I had written. And I
was fairly certain I hadn't enabled the "FAIL_MAIL_OVER_500_MILES"
option. At a loss, I telnetted into the SMTP port. The server
happily responded with a SunOS sendmail banner.
Wait a minute... a SunOS sendmail banner? At the time, Sun was
still shipping Sendmail 5 with its operating system, even though
Sendmail 8 was fairly mature.
Being a good system administrator, I had standardized on Sendmail
8. And also being a good system administrator, I had written a
sendmail.cf that used the nice long self-documenting option and
variable names available in Sendmail 8 rather than the cryptic
punctuation-mark codes that had been used in Sendmail 5.
The pieces fell into place, all at once, and I again choked on the
dregs of my now-cold latte. When the consultant had "patched the
server," he had apparently upgraded the version of SunOS, and in so
doing *downgraded* Sendmail. The upgrade helpfully left the
sendmail.cf alone, even though it was now the wrong version.
It so happens that Sendmail 5 -- at least, the version that Sun
shipped, which had some tweaks -- could deal with the Sendmail 8
sendmail.cf, as most of the rules had at that point remained
unaltered. But the new long configuration options -- those it saw
as junk, and skipped. And the sendmail binary had no defaults
compiled in for most of these, so, finding no suitable settings in
the sendmail.cf file, they were set to zero.
One of the settings that was set to zero was the timeout to connect
to the remote SMTP server. Some experimentation established that
on this particular machine with its typical load, a zero timeout
would abort a connect call in slightly over three milliseconds.
An odd feature of our campus network at the time was that it was
100% switched. An outgoing packet wouldn't incur a router delay
until hitting the POP and reaching a router on the far side. So
time to connect to a lightly-loaded remote host on a nearby network
would actually largely be governed by the speed of light distance
to the destination rather than by incidental router delays.
Feeling slightly giddy, I typed into my shell:
$ units
1311 units, 63 prefixes
You have: 3 millilightseconds
You want: miles
* 558.84719
/ 0.0017893979
"500 miles, or a little bit more."

INFO:
Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor.
If you have an idea for a column or a series of articles,
please contact me :)
New!
Mailing-List subscriptions via
http://www.filegate.net/sub.html
but of course you can always link into your uplink and use
Tick or a tick compatible program.
Where to Send Your Articles
Unlike most editors, I surely do not mind running my mouth
when there is a sparsity of articles for the 'zine. I'd
MUCH rather you sent in material... lacking that, I will
fill these issues with my meanderings and thoughts and
hopefully we will grow into something of consequence here
:)
Write an article!
If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop
your article off at:
Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net
Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38
Modem: 607-200-4076
Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555
telnet mailer: filegate.net
If you are using routed Fidonet mail, don't send articles as routed
attaches. They will fail somewhere along the path before getting here.
Send them instead direct to filegate.net.
Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
one and send it along!
Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me
and mutilate it further as you can see above. Linux is nice
that way (g). Spell checking your own work will help though
(something I'm typically guilty of (g)).
To send reviews or recipes to the Food section, email or
netmail Janis as above.
Email address for submissions to Dr.Debug:
To send a question to Dr. Debug, email a question to:
drdebug @ filegate.net
or post in the fidogazette echo! :)
To send a listing to the FidoGazette bbslist, email your
listing to:
bbslist @ filegate.net
or post it in the fidogazette echo!
