<br />
Usually system administrators continually monitor thier computer systems to check for reductions in system performance. These "monitoring checks" can be <b>benchmark programs</b> (or operating system commands) to identify system performance. Reduced system performance may be an indicator of an intrusion by a malicious hacker.<br /><br />In this lab, we will issue several Linux commands to help monitor to monitor a Linux system's performance.<br />

<br />
Checking for unusual activity in a Linux system focuses of several key indicators:
<li>Issue the Linux commands:<br />
<pre>
<b>ps aux | more</b>
<b>lsof | more</b>
<b>lsof -p PID</b>
</pre>
How does the information from this listing differ from the previous Linux command that you issued?<br />What sort of services/processes might indicate a problem?<br /><br /></li>
<li>Issue the following Linux commands:
<pre>
<b>netstat -nap</b>
<b>lsof -i</b>
<b>arp -a</b>
</pre>
What sort of network usage would indicate an intrusion problem?<br /><br /></li>
<li>Issue the following Linux commands: <pre>
<b>sort -nk3 -t: /etc/passwd | more</b>
<b>egrep ':0+:' /etc/passwd</b>
</pre>
What is the purpose of these commands, and how would you check the results for intrusion?<br /><br /></li>
<li>Next, look for unusual files by using the following Linux commands:
<pre>
<b>find / -size +10000k -print</b>
<b>ls -a .*</b>
<b>lsof +L1</b>
<b>rpm -Va | sort</b>
</pre>
Write these commands in your lab log-book and give a brief purpose of how they can be used to interpret system intrusion.<br /><br /></li>

INSTRUCTIONS:
<ol>
<li>Read the article on Linux Log Files: <a href="[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxLogFiles" target="_new">Linux Log Files</a>]</li>
<li>In your hardened Linux server, experiment with each of the log files
mentioned in the article above (including configuration files). Note that your system may not have the same services installed, so some of the files may not be there.</li>
<li>What would the following line achieve?
<pre>
<b>kern.none /var/log/messages</b>

<b>*.emerg *</b>

Tripwire for earlier releases is available from the RedHat/Fedora Powertools CD in RPM format.

(files and sizes etc) It might take as long as ten minutes to initially scan...</div></div>|}}

<pre>
<b>sudo yum install tripwire</b>

<br />
Alternatively, you can download and install tripwire at the following link:
<br />
<a href="[http://sourceforge.net/projects/tripwire/" target="_new">http://sourceforge.net/projects/tripwire/</a>]<br /><br /></li>
<li>Based on instructions in the <b>README.Fedora</b> file<br />
(located in <b>/usr/share/docs/tripwire-2.4.2.2</b> directory)<br />
You are required to issue the following commands to initialize and run the tripwire application (using default settings):
<pre>
<b>/usr/sbin/tripwire-setup-keyfiles</b> # Generate the system-specific
# cryptographic key files
# Remember your password phrase
<b>/usr/sbin/tripwire --init</b> # Initialize the Tripwire
# database file. Note: this process
# may take several minutes to perform
<b>/usr/sbin/tripwire --check</b> # Run the first integrity check
# May take several minutes
