FireStarter

6.1-1 is up and running. I will do a SARA scan on it from work tomorrow and
see how it does.  I did a SARA scan on 5.1 at the extreme setting, SARA
found nothing but when I got home gnome was crashed.  The firewall was still
working though so I'm not positive that the scan caused the crash I'll let
yall know tomorrow.  The extreme setting on the SARA scanner is probably
more than your average hacker would want to use because it is really easy to
detect on the target machine. All in all 5.1 performed excellently, I'll let
yall know how 6.1 does.   DY

A quick (and probably obvious to someone) question: 

Firestarter builds from the src rpm fine on my RH6.2 with 2.4.1 kernel and 
completely up to date Helix/Ximian GNOME, however when I try to fire up 
firestarter I get:



	[root@... /root]# firestarter 
	NETFILTER detected
	Using /lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o
	insmod: a module named ip_tables already exists

	** WARNING **: Could not get name service!

	** ERROR **: file goad.c: line 660 (real_goad_server_activate): 
		assertion failed: (name_service != CORBA_OBJECT_NIL)
		aborting...


I'm SSH'd in to this machine from another workstation and SU'd to root.

I presume its complaiing about a CORBA name service and not DNS (which is 
working just fine, thank you)...

Any ideas what the problem is...?

Apparently, YES. I have my firewall running. Everything seems OK. I'll 
be testing the rest of the day.

If anyone would like to help me doing a portscan, my current IP ('till 
my ISP does a booboo) is... mail me first. <jbarrios@...>

I would note recommend now Shields Up! It seems ther is a problem with 
it, and crackers are behind.

This is the message I received from a friend:

Attackers can use ShieldsUp! to scan any host on the Internet
Sep, 05 2000 - 23:41
ShieldsUp allows home users to scan their hosts and network against 
known vulnerabilities and do port scanning of their hosts. This service 
uses a client that is installed on the remote end (the home user) to 
identify which IP needs to be tested. A flaw in the software allows 
malicious users to input any IP they desire and receive their scan results.

The security hole can be exploited very easily, all that it requires is 
that you have a dual NIC'ed (or modem and NIC) host and you assign one 
of your interfaces the IP of the box you are trying to scan. The client 
will ask which IP of your "LOCAL" machine you would like to scan, and 
Viola, you have an anonymous port scanner at your fingertips. The scan 
originates from Shields Up's server and so t

all-
i just recently installed 0.6.1 on my rh7 machine. the firewall itself is
working, however i am not seeing any hits being logged on the Firewall
Hits tab.

does this option need to be enabled within preferences somewhere?

i am using
>rpm -q iptables
iptables-1.2.0-6
