Here Be Dragons

LonestarPHP 2015 3

Traditional Lamp Stack

LonestarPHP 2015 4

Our Players

LonestarPHP 2015 5

And of course…

LonestarPHP 2015 6

The Server

•  /bin -‐ EssenPal user executable files •  /boot -‐ Stuff that makes the OS boot up! •  /dev -‐ Special device stuff you probably won't touch •  /etc -‐ ConfiguraPon files •  /home -‐ User home directories •  /sbin -‐ System binaries •  /usr -‐ MulP-‐user apps and uPliPes •  /var -‐ Data usually lives here

LonestarPHP 2015 7

Installing Software

• Compile soXware from scratch • Use the package manager (yum/apt)

LonestarPHP 2015 8

Learn to love the Command Line

LonestarPHP 2015 9

Learn a CLI text editor

•  vi/vim •  emacs • nano

LonestarPHP 2015 10

Authentication and Authorization

LonestarPHP 2015 11

SSH Keys

•  SSH generally uses a Username/Password •  SSH Keys pass a public key to the server • Can use a single key for mulPple machines, or mulPple keys for mulPple machines • More secure since ‘passwords’ cannot be stolen

LonestarPHP 2015 12

sudo

You can give admin access to users (or groups of users) without giving them root.

LonestarPHP 2015 13

# Add sudo access to a single user to run as root dragonmantank ALL=(ALL) ALL # Add sudo access to a full group %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

You can even restrict what commands the users can run # Restrict web developers to only restart Apache and MySQL %webdevs 192.168.1.0/255.255.225.0=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/service apache2 restart, /usr/sbin/service mysql restart

Jailing Users

Keeps people from geang to things they shouldn't. Protects the users from themselves.

LonestarPHP 2015 14

Jailed Shells

Gives users a full shell but not the enPre file system. You can pick and choose what programs the user can have access too. Jailkit makes this incredibly easy to set up.

LonestarPHP 2015 15

Jailed SFTP

Locks the user to a specific base path, but doesn’t give them a shell, much like FTP. You get the security of SSH though! It does require a system user however.

LonestarPHP 2015 16

Jailing SFTP

# In /etc/ssh/sshd_config Subsystem ftp sftp-‐internal # At the bottom of the file Match User jailedsftp ChrootDirectory /some/path AllowTCPForwarding no X11Forwarding no ForceCommand sftp-‐internal

LonestarPHP 2015 17

Docker

LonestarPHP 2015 18

If you do it the non-‐Docker way

Scripting Languages

LonestarPHP 2015 19

Bash

Most servers use bash as the default shell. Most shells understand bash's syntax. If you find yourself running the same commands over and over, throw it in a bash script.

LonestarPHP 2015 20

Python

Ships with most distros. Great for when you need more power than what bash has.

LonestarPHP 2015 21

PHP!

Leverage your PHP skills to write shell scripts. •  Symfony Console Component • Aura CLI

LonestarPHP 2015 22

Locking Down your Code

LonestarPHP 2015 23

Running Apache as a different user

MPM-‐ITK

LonestarPHP 2015 24

MOD_RUID2

<IfModule mpm_itk_module> AssignUserId [user] [group] </IfModule>

RMode config RUidGid myuser mygroup RDocumentChRoot /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/ www/public

PHP-FPM

user = myuser group = mygroup chroot = /path/to/my/chroot

LonestarPHP 2015 25

Logs

LonestarPHP 2015 26

Logrotate

Rotates logs out for organizaPon (or other purposes)

LonestarPHP 2015 27

weekly rotate 4 create include /etc/logrotate.d /var/log/wtmp { monthly minsize 1M create 0664 root utmp rotate 1 }

Logwatch

Script that runs every so oXen and scans a bunch of logs so you get a preFy e-‐mail with a summary of events

LonestarPHP 2015 28

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐ httpd Begin -‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐ 0.17 MB transferred in 792 responses (1xx 0, 2xx 786, 3xx 0, 4xx 6, 5xx 0) 199 Content pages (0.09 MB), 593 Other (0.09 MB) Requests with error response codes 400 Bad Request /w00tw00t.at.ISC.SANS.DFind:): 1 Time(s) 404 Not Found /MyAdmin/scripts/setup.php: 1 Time(s) /phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php: 1 Time(s) /w00tw00t.at.blackhats.romanian.anti-‐sec:): 1 Time(s) /webdav/: 2 Time(s) -‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐ httpd End -‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

OSSEC

Actually a Host Intrusion DetecPon system, but it does this by watching logs. Will alert you immediately to problems, and even shut down the aFacks.

LonestarPHP 2015 29

OSSEC HIDS Notification. 2012 Oct 24 11:38:10 Received From: maple-‐>/var/log/auth.log Rule: 5712 fired (level 10) -‐> "SSHD brute force trying to get access to the system."

Preventing Intruders

LonestarPHP 2015 30

hosts.deny and hosts.allow

Set of files to allow or deny access to the machine or certain apps/ports on the machine

LonestarPHP 2015 31

IPTables

A firewall that is generally available on Linux machines that can be configured many different ways to allow or block or mangle traffic

LonestarPHP 2015 32

OSSEC

IDS that was logs and will use hosts.deny and iptables to block stuff automaPcally for you!

LonestarPHP 2015 33

Configuration Management

LonestarPHP 2015 34

What is Configuration Management?

Process by which you figure out what goes on your servers, how you want them set up, and keeping track of that informaPon. Files are usually stored in source control on one server and pushed to clients.

LonestarPHP 2015 35

Why do you need it?

•  Ever needed to keep track of when files get changed? •  Ever needed to roll back a change? •  Ever needed to push the same change to a bunch of servers •  Ever needed to set up a server exactly the same way as another server?

LonestarPHP 2015 36

General CM Workflow

LonestarPHP 2015 37

Write a Manifest file

Client checks and compiles the manifests

Client makes changes based on manifests

Ansible

LonestarPHP 2015 38

Puppet

• hFp://www.erikaheidi.com/page/vagrant

LonestarPHP 2015 39

Server Monitoring

LonestarPHP 2015 40

Quick Poll

• Who here knows that their server is up right now? • Are all of the required services running? • Are there enough resources currently available?

LonestarPHP 2015 41

Service Monitoring with Monit

LonestarPHP 2015 42

Host Monitoring with Icinga

LonestarPHP 2015 43

Software Tools

LonestarPHP 2015 44

tmux/screen

Command line mulPplexer

LonestarPHP 2015 45

tail

Look at the newest entries in a log, or even watch log files as they are generated

Command line program for transferring data via a URL

LonestarPHP 2015 47
