Update Manager/Repo problem

I'm already using no-ip.org, and have my router set to update my ip with them every time it changes.

It's not knowing my home ip that's the problem.

It's that if i'm connecting from a machine in another location, I never know which ip i'll be connecting from, so as I say, I cannot restrict access to just a certain range of ip's.

Ok i understand what your saying now. Connecting from internet cafe, a friends house, wireless hotspot, the parents place, ect ect. That does change the whole approach.

I did spot an app the other day while searching google for something totally unrelated though. Basically it runs on the same pc that the ssh server runs from. Basically what it does is bans any ip that tries to make a connection through ssh but fails (an example would be wrong password). You can seen the ban length as well as the trigger (how many failed attempts it allows before it issues a ban). If i manage to come across it again ill let you know. I cant for the life of me remember what it was called or what i was even searching for at the time.

Edit:

I found it. Its called "fail2ban"

http://www.howtoforge.com/fail2ban_debian_etch

That howto is for debian etch. But it should also apply to ubuntu and i imagine any distro.

May also provide some extra security to change the default ssh port.

Then to connect use

Code: Select all
ssh USER@IP -p PORT


In due time any port scanning bots are likely to find it again so this is trivial.

This may also be of interest to you

Its a portscan detector. However i cant say if it works or even how well as i have no experience with it. Just passing the info along.

Gentlemen a new repo is on the horizon, why not where it was? A new hosting company, perhaps they mean unlimited. It will not be common knowledge until fully tested. It may be in Ultimate Edition 2.3 & Ultamatix -7, please sit tight as I & testers work kinks out. The real test will be when unleashed as far as "unlimited". Terabytes at a time ;)

I forget what the app is, but read in LINUX Pro about Port knocking. basically, the app runs on your home box, and when you attempt to ssh in it ignores unless you use the 'secret' knock.
Oversimplified ie: knock...knock,knock...knock
You can probably find it with a google search for 'port knocking'
The glass is neither half empty nor half full. It is functioning 100% effectively @ 50% capacity. It is approximately 75% efficient. I suggest fitting a lid of some sort.
