I set up a standard WEB server (Apache) and configured it to do proxying. Below is the config for the virtual server doing the proxy. Listen 192.147.171.43:8080 ServerName py-lib.linfield.edu ProxyRequests On CacheRoot /var/tmp/Proxy CacheSize 20000 CacheGcInterval 4 CacheMaxExpire 24 CacheLastModifiedFactor 0.1 CacheDefaultExpire 1 CacheDirLevels 3 CacheDirLength 2 DocumentRoot /opt/local/WWW/pages/proxy TransferLog logs/proxy-access_log AuthType Basic AuthName Linfield_College AuthDBMUserFile /opt/local/WWW/etc/passwd require valid-user But, that's only half the solution. If all your students/staff who are authorized to use the proxy configure their browsers to use it, every GET and every response to every URL they go will go through the proxy server -- you may need to double or triple the bandwidth of your connection to the upstream provider. For us at Linfield, every student, faculty and staff person is authorized to go through the proxy, and the AuthDBMUserFile is updated nightly. What's needed is a way to restrict yse of the proxy server to only those URLs that you are proxying to allow off-campus folks to access IP restricted databases, etc. That solution is a Netscape solution which is unevenly supported in Internet Explorer (i.e., some version releases on some platforms support it, some don't -- the usual Microsoft "we didn't invent it so we'll just ignore it" attitude). The solution is called automatic proxy configuration. The proxy is configured from a JavaScript file that you maintain somewhere in the document root of the WEB server. The browser is configured to use automatic proxy, and browsers that support it (Netscape 2 on, and IE in some versions/platforms) include a field to fill in the full URL to the APC config file. When the browser is first invoked, it gets the config file and only proxies those domains, etc, that the config file specifies. The URL for our conf file is: . Feel free to download it and look at it. You can find the full description of the APC conf file options at: . Reading through the conf file functions description should enable you to fully understand Linfield's specific conf file and why I am doing what I am doing for each proxied instance. Good luck. Feel free to contact me (e-mail or phone) with any other questions you might have. -- Rob _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ /\_\_\_\_\ /\_\ /\_\_\_\_\_\ /\/_/_/_/_/ /\/_/ \/_/_/_/_/_/ QUIDQUID LATINE DICTUM SIT, /\/_/__\/_/ __ /\/_/ /\/_/ PROFUNDUM VIDITUR /\/_/_/_/_/ /\_\ /\/_/ /\/_/ /\/_/ \/_/ /\/_/_/\/_/ /\/_/ (Whatever is said in Latin \/_/ \/_/ \/_/_/_/_/ \/_/ appears profound) Rob Tanner UNIX and Networks Manager Linfield College, McMinnville OR (503) 434-2558 From jcallaha at willamette.edu Wed Mar 17 17:45:38 1999 From: jcallaha at willamette.edu (John Callahan) Date: Fri Jul 16 16:34:36 2004 Subject: Recent Computer Security Incidents Message-ID: Hello everyone - We recently had some break ins to some of our RedHat linux boxes, and also have seen some attempted break ins to our Solaris systems. Earlier this week I received some e-mail from Oregon State University about one of their Solaris systems being broken into. When I notified CERT about our incidents, I got a form letter back that CERT was receiving an extremely large number of reports of scans and attacks right now, and were behind a bit on their workload. We've also have a small outbreak of the Happy99 worm, and have seen BackOrafice, and Netbus on our student's computers on ResNet (our residence hall network.) All this stuff made me think that we are likely not alone in these problems. If you haven't heard of Happy99 or BackOrafice or Netbus, you may want to learn about them, because odds are if you don't have them yet and you aren't somehow blocking them, your students or users that don't practice safe computing will have them soon. I've set up a web page to attempt to document some of the things I have seen at W.U. and how they were dealt with, or detected anyway. I'm happy to include other people's experiences and add them into it as well, if anyone wants to send me content. http://www.nw-heat.org/security/ It gets fairly technical, so if your eyes glaze over within the first few paragraphs, you might want to forward the URL to your favorite "techie" or save it for bedtime reading when you can't otherwise get to sleep.

Its already kind of hard to get people (especially faculty) to come to some of our classes, so charging would probably make it worse. Some schools are actually paying faculty to come to summer workshops. We fund training through our user services department. Also, there are some grant funds to help faculty use computers in their curriculum. Hopefully we get "paid back" when people have fewer technical problems down the road.

I set up a standard WEB server (Apache) and configured it to do proxying. Below is the config for the virtual server doing the proxy. Listen 192.147.171.43:8080 ServerName py-lib.linfield.edu ProxyRequests On CacheRoot /var/tmp/Proxy CacheSize 20000 CacheGcInterval 4 CacheMaxExpire 24 CacheLastModifiedFactor 0.1 CacheDefaultExpire 1 CacheDirLevels 3 CacheDirLength 2 DocumentRoot /opt/local/WWW/pages/proxy TransferLog logs/proxy-access_log AuthType Basic AuthName Linfield_College AuthDBMUserFile /opt/local/WWW/etc/passwd require valid-user But, that's only half the solution. If all your students/staff who are authorized to use the proxy configure their browsers to use it, every GET and every response to every URL they go will go through the proxy server -- you may need to double or triple the bandwidth of your connection to the upstream provider. For us at Linfield, every student, faculty and staff person is authorized to go through the proxy, and the AuthDBMUserFile is updated nightly. What's needed is a way to restrict yse of the proxy server to only those URLs that you are proxying to allow off-campus folks to access IP restricted databases, etc. That solution is a Netscape solution which is unevenly supported in Internet Explorer (i.e., some version releases on some platforms support it, some don't -- the usual Microsoft "we didn't invent it so we'll just ignore it" attitude). The solution is called automatic proxy configuration. The proxy is configured from a JavaScript file that you maintain somewhere in the document root of the WEB server. The browser is configured to use automatic proxy, and browsers that support it (Netscape 2 on, and IE in some versions/platforms) include a field to fill in the full URL to the APC config file. When the browser is first invoked, it gets the config file and only proxies those domains, etc, that the config file specifies. The URL for our conf file is: . Feel free to download it and look at it. You can find the full description of the APC conf file options at: . Reading through the conf file functions description should enable you to fully understand Linfield's specific conf file and why I am doing what I am doing for each proxied instance. Good luck. Feel free to contact me (e-mail or phone) with any other questions you might have. -- Rob _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ /\_\_\_\_\ /\_\ /\_\_\_\_\_\ /\/_/_/_/_/ /\/_/ \/_/_/_/_/_/ QUIDQUID LATINE DICTUM SIT, /\/_/__\/_/ __ /\/_/ /\/_/ PROFUNDUM VIDITUR /\/_/_/_/_/ /\_\ /\/_/ /\/_/ /\/_/ \/_/ /\/_/_/\/_/ /\/_/ (Whatever is said in Latin \/_/ \/_/ \/_/_/_/_/ \/_/ appears profound) Rob Tanner UNIX and Networks Manager Linfield College, McMinnville OR (503) 434-2558 From jcallaha at willamette.edu Wed Mar 17 17:45:38 1999 From: jcallaha at willamette.edu (John Callahan) Date: Thu Oct 5 10:00:20 2006 Subject: Recent Computer Security Incidents Message-ID: Hello everyone - We recently had some break ins to some of our RedHat linux boxes, and also have seen some attempted break ins to our Solaris systems. Earlier this week I received some e-mail from Oregon State University about one of their Solaris systems being broken into. When I notified CERT about our incidents, I got a form letter back that CERT was receiving an extremely large number of reports of scans and attacks right now, and were behind a bit on their workload. We've also have a small outbreak of the Happy99 worm, and have seen BackOrafice, and Netbus on our student's computers on ResNet (our residence hall network.) All this stuff made me think that we are likely not alone in these problems. If you haven't heard of Happy99 or BackOrafice or Netbus, you may want to learn about them, because odds are if you don't have them yet and you aren't somehow blocking them, your students or users that don't practice safe computing will have them soon. I've set up a web page to attempt to document some of the things I have seen at W.U. and how they were dealt with, or detected anyway. I'm happy to include other people's experiences and add them into it as well, if anyone wants to send me content. http://www.nw-heat.org/security/ It gets fairly technical, so if your eyes glaze over within the first few paragraphs, you might want to forward the URL to your favorite "techie" or save it for bedtime reading when you can't otherwise get to sleep.

Its already kind of hard to get people (especially faculty) to come to some of our classes, so charging would probably make it worse. Some schools are actually paying faculty to come to summer workshops. We fund training through our user services department. Also, there are some grant funds to help faculty use computers in their curriculum. Hopefully we get "paid back" when people have fewer technical problems down the road.

So... we're considering charging a minimal fee ($25) for staff who register for the workshop but who do not attend without advance cancellation. We don't expect the money to cover the cost of the workshop, but we would like to make a point that training is expensive and it's irresponsible to hold a spot in a workshop without attending.
