Building DNS server (Bind9) and Mail server (Postfix) In Ubuntu

The first step to build a DNS server  you must install bind9 first. to install and configure bind9 we follow these steps:

$ sudo su

$ apt-get install bind9

for security reasons we run from the chroot bind9, and the steps are as follows:

 stop bind services  by type :

$ /etc/init.d/bind9 stop

edit file /etc/default/bind9 so that the daemon will run unprvilage user 'bind', chroot to /var/lib named. Change the line:

opts = "-u bind"

OPTS="-u bind -t /var/lib/named":
OPTIONS="-u bind -t /var/lib/named"

by type :

$ gedit /etc/default/bind9

make a directory in the /var/lib, by type :

$ mkdir -p /var/lib/named/etc
$ mkdir /var/lib/named/dev
$ mkdir -p /var/lib/named/var/cache/bind
$ mkdir -p /var/lib/named/var/run/bind/run

Then move the configuration from /etc to  /var/lib/named/etc, by type :

 $ mv /etc/bind /var/lib/named/etc

create a link to the new directory configuration from the old directory by using the following command:

$ n -s /var/lib/named/etc/bind /etc/bind 

Make null and random devices, and create a right of ownership by type :

$mknod /var/lib/named/dev/null c 1 3
$mknod /var/lib/named/dev/random c 1 8
$chmod 666 /var/lib/named/dev/null /var/lib/named/dev/random
$chown -R bind:bind /var/lib/named/var/*
$chown -R bind:bind /var/lib/named/etc/bind

edit the startup script /etc/init.d/sysklogd so that we can get a message from the logs. Change the line: syslogd="----"  to:  SYSLOGD="-a /var/lib/named/dev/log" by type :

$ gedit /etc/init.d/sysklogd

Building DNS Server

Before building mailserver we must build a DNS server.

Note:

- Local IP in use: 192.168.1.172
- Domain machine: exxx
- DNS servers: exxx.example.com

Create a file in the directory /etc/bind/:

$ touch exxx.zone exxx.rev

$ gedit /etc/bind/named.conf

add following line

--------
zone "example.com" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/exxx.zone";
};//
zone "4.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/exxx.rev";
};//

---------

$ gedit /etc/bind/exxx.zone

add following line :

-----------

$TTL 1D
@ IN SOA example.com. root.example.com. (
34; serial
23M ; refresh
9H ; retry
7D ; expire
1D) ; minimum
;
@ IN NS example.com.
@ IN MX 10 mail.example.com.
exxx IN A 192.168.4.206
www IN CNAME exxx
ftp IN CNAME exxx
mail IN CNAME exxx
------------

 $ gedit /etc/bind/exxx.rev

-----
$TTL 1D
@ IN SOA example.com. root.example.com.

43; serial
15M ; refresh
3H ; retry
1W ; expire
1D ) ; minimum
;
@ IN NS profff.asseifff.net.
206 IN PTR profff.asseifff.net.
-----

Restart bind9 by type :

$ /etc/init.d/bind9 restart

To ensure avoid trouble, setting:

$ gedit /etc/resolv.conf

ameserver 192.168.1.172

$ gedit /etc/hosts

192.168.4.206 profff.asseifff.net profff

$ gedit /etc/hostname

exxx

$ /bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname    //(to move from /etc/hostname to /bin/hostname)

 

For testing use the command:

$ host exxx.example.com

If show:
exxx.example.com A 192.168.1.172 (the DNS server configuration is complete)

Install and Configuration Mail Server (postfix):

$ apt-get install postfix
$ apt-get install ipopd

$ gedit  /etc/postfix/main.cf

Mynetwork = 192.168.1.0/24
Myhostname = mail.example.com
Inet_interface = all
Mydomain = example.com

$ postfix restart

$ postfix start

$ adduser minez
$ passwd 1234root

$ netstat -tapn

$ telnet 192.168.1.133 25 

Output :

echo........
mail from:root@mail.example.com
rcpt to:minez@mail.example.com

$ gedit /var/mail/(username)

If you have  message sent was found on the file /var/mail/(username) then the mail server has been successfully executed.....!!

Delete File on a Specific File Extension in Ubuntu

To Delete a specific file extension in a directory like files *. doc, *. jpg and *. pdf with a single command by simply using the command :

$ find . -name “FILE-TO-FIND”-exec rm -rf {} \;

OR

$ find . -type f -name “FILE-TO-FIND” -exec rm -f {} \;

the difference between the two commands above is that the first command can delete files and directories, the command can only delete the files.

Example : you want to delete file extension .jpg by type :

$ find . -type f -name “*.jpg” -exec rm -f {} \;

Above command is to delete the files in a specified directory without confirmation, to delete a file with the confirmation user, use the following command:

$ find . -type f -name “*.jpg” -exec rm -i {} \;

Output :

rm: remove regular empty file `./0908.jpg’? y
rm: remove regular empty file `./memories.jpg’? y
rm: remove regular empty file `./important.jpg’? n

Creating Mail Server on Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) with Postfix, Dovecot, SASL and Squirrel Mail

A mail server (also known as a mail transfer agent or MTA, a mail transport agent, a mail router or an Internet mailer) is an application that receives incoming e-mail from local users (people within the same domain) and remote senders and forwards outgoing e-mail for delivery. A computer dedicated to running such applications is also called a mail server. Microsoft Exchange, qmail, Exim and sendmail are among the more common mail server programs.

Here we will try to install applications on ubuntu mail server Jaunty (9:04) by using Postfix, Dovecot, SASL and Squirrel Mail, follow these steps :

Install Postfix MTA (Mail Transfer Agent)

$ sudo su

$ apt-get install postfix postfix-tls libsasl2-2 sasl2-bin libsasl2-modules

During the installation process you must fill in the name of the server by filling in your domain name.

Install Dovecot

$ apt-get install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d dovecot-common

after installation is complete, you need to edit the dovecot configuration files in the directory /etc /dovecot/dovecot.conf, to the configuration file. use the command:

$ gedit  /etc /dovecot/dovecot.conf

edit that into:

protocols = pop3 imap
# uncomment this and change to no.
disable_plaintext_auth = no
pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv

Save and exit...!!

Configuring SASL Authentication with TLS

edit /etc/postfix/main.cf  configuration by type :

$ gedit /etc/postfix/main.cf

Enter the following configuration to the end of the file /etc/postfix/main.cf that you had

smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_local_domain = yourdomain.com
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous

Save and exit,  then Run the command:

$ rm -r /var/run/saslauthd/
$ mkdir -p /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd
$ ln -s /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd /var/run
$ chgrp sasl /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd
$ adduser postfix sasl

You should configure file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf  to determine dovecot  daemon socket:

$ gedit /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

enter the information below:

auth default2 {
mechanisms = plain login
passdb pam {
}
userdb passwd {
}
socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}}}

 Save and exit.

Install Squirrel mail

$ apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-cgi squirrelmail

after installation completed, we must edit configuration file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf by type :

$ gedit  /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

enter the information below:

Include /etc/squirrelmail/apache.conf 

Reboot your machine by type :

$ reboot

and  Check your work by :

Open your browser and type this http://ip_anda/squirrelmail  into address bar your browser. If your configuration is correct, then you will view the first entry squirrelmail login, then enter your user name and password. if any, follow the above configuration to the right.

Configuring KMS on Jaunty (for testing only!)

Here is a way test KMS on top of Jaunty if you're willing to do some extra work.

1. Install the karmic kernel onto your jaunty system. You can find out what the current kernel version in karmic is by looking at this page. The easiest way to find the DEB for it is here. In this directory, look for files named linux-image-2.6.30-*-generic_2.6.30-*_ARCH.deb where ARCH is amd64 or i386 depending on what kind of computer you have.

For example, you can use this DEB for amd64 and this DEB for i386.

2. Install -intel 2.7.1 from the X-Updates PPA, or use 2.7.99 from the Xorg-Edgers PPA (the later one is UXA-only):

Either you can add X-Updates to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu jaunty main

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu jaunty main

Or, alternatively you can do similarly with xorg-edgers (but don't use both xorg-edgers and x-updates simultaneously!):

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

3. In a terminal, type :

$ sudo su
$  apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

4. Turn on kms in your kernel modules by adding this line to your /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf:

options i915 modeset=1

and then update your initramfs by running:

$ update-initramfs -u

5. Reboot by type :

$ reboot >

And you should then be KMS enabled.

To uninstall and return to the normal jaunty version,

$ apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.30-2-generic

remove the line from /etc/modules and uncomment the PPA deb/deb-src lines from sources.list and then run 
  

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install PACKAGE/jaunty 

for all the affected packages (you can use the apt-show-versions command to figure out which ones current have non-jaunty versions). Finally, reboot.

Hiding Secret Data in Bad Block Partition in Ubuntu

When the hard disk was damaged in the sector so that block is not used to store data on your system , but we can use the filesystem blocks that have (allegedly) bad. If the block is not really damaged, any data that we put there will never be touched, because the filesystem thinks it's rubbish. If the block is not really damaged, the data we put there will never be touched, because the system thinks the same garbage files. That, is exactly what we will do.

Partition must be small to contain confidential data and not to a partition larger than 100MB Agr did not arouse suspicion. Some operating systems mark blocks as bad blocks used, which means if we put inside a 100MB partition with bad blocks, the "parent" filesystem will always have at least 100MB in use. Some operating systems marks bad blocks as used blocks, which means that if we put a 100MB partition on the block bad, "parent" filesystem will always have at least 100MB in use. This could arouse Suspicion when there are not any files on it. This can lead to suspicion when there is no files in it.

I will use 256MB flash for illustrative purposes

Here's what sfdisk has to say about it: This is what sfdisk to say about this:

$ sfdisk -l /dev/sde

Disk /dev/sde: 1009 cylinders, 9 heads, 56 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 258048 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

evice Boot Start     End   #cyls    #blocks   Id  System
/dev/sde1          0       -       0          0    0  Empty
/dev/sde2          0       -       0          0    0  Empty
/dev/sde3          0       -       0          0    0  Empty
/dev/sde4          0       -       0          0    0  Empty


We could see the flash is composed of cylinder 1009. we can make about 20MB, which is approximately 82 cylinders on this disk (see the second row sfdisk-l). Because we can not create a partition at the beginning of the disk, let us put in 214 cylinders:

$ sfdisk /dev/sde << EOF
214,82,6
EOF

Put FAT16 on it and transfer your secret data.

$ mkfs.vfat -F16 /dev/sde1
mkfs.vfat 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)

$ sfdisk /dev/sde << EOF
0,0,0
EOF

$ mkfs.vfat -F16 /dev/sde1
mkfs.vfat 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)

$ sfdisk /dev/sde << EOF
0,0,0
EOF
