Satu masalah kecil, setelah menambah user di BackTrack, tiba-tiba dapat “sorry” waktu “su”,

k-elektronik ~ $ su

sorry. 

Sesudah utak atik sedikit, ketemu solusinya :

(jangan lupa kamu harus root)

k-elektronik ~ # chmod u+s /bin/su

k-elektronik ~ $ su

Shutdown Linux Client Remotely

Trik berikut dapat digunakan untuk mengontrol komputer dari jauh, dalam contoh ini, shutdown (semua) client dari jauh.

A. Set client

1. ssh ke salah satu client, gunakan root account

rumy@k-elektronik:~$ ssh 192.168.0.101 -l root

root@192.168.0.101’s password:

2. buat remote root login tanpa password

root@client-1:~# rsa-keygen -t rsa

(tekan enter beberapa kali untuk membuat keypair (dan jangan lupa untuk mengosongkan isian password hashing), ini akan membuat: private (id_rsa) dan public (id_rsa.pub) keypair yang akan disimpan di direktori .ssh)

3. salin public keypair id_rsa.pub ke authorized_keys

root@client-1:~# cd .ssh
root@client-1:~# cp id_rsa.pub authorized_keys

4. salin tiga file id_rsa id_rsa.pub authorized_keys ke semua client – root login

root@client-2:~# scp * root@client.ip.address:/root/.ssh

5. Buatlah script berikut di server atau control pc :

rumy@k-elektronik:~$ cat off
#!/bin/sh
for addr in 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110
do
ssh -l root 192.168.10.$addr halt
done
rumy@k-elektronik:~$ chmod +x off

6. Untuk mematikan semua client, cukup mengetik :

rumy@k-elektronik:~$ ./off

Meskipun sudah mengikuti tutorial di google, pidgin ku tetap tidak bisa login, tapi sesudah diganti seperti berikut :

Force old (port 5223) SSL: Checked
Allow plaintext auth over unencrypted streams: Un-Checked
Connect Port: 443
Connect Server: talk.google.com
Proxy type: Use Global Proxy Settings


Akhirnya jalan juga ;)

Ubuntu – Gutsy Gibbon (Installed it on Dec 11th 1007) was too easy and I didn’t like it. It made me look like some kind of dummy who didn’t know what to do.

So this is what I did (and I suggest anyone with guts to do so).

(1) I grabbed a fresh copy of BackTrack 3 Beta, the one which can be installed on USB stick, converted it to an iso file (with some tweak on its make_iso file) and burned it on DVD.

(2) Put the DVD on my toshiba laptop and fired it up

login : root

password : toor

(3) Formatted my 15Gigs Ubuntu / partition and my 200Megs /boot partition (but sane enough to leave my 65Gigs /home unformatted) ^__^

# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1

# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda2

# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda3

# mkswap /dev/sda3

(4) Mounted the / partition to /mnt/bt3

# mkdir /mnt/bt3

# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/bt3

(5) Started the BackTrack GUI

# xconf

# startx

(6) And dumped BT3 to /mnt/bt3 via its KDE menu

I played a lot with Slackware before and thought that a little tweak could turn this Slackware derivative distro (Backtrack was build from Slax distro, which was build from Slackware) near to the original Slackware again – not just a live distro which can only be run from CD/DVD/USB – kudos for the BackTrack team who provided a way to dump this cool pentest distro to the harddrive
