Free Wound Care Forms

Three more Twitter clients for Ubuntu Ubuntu Security

Since I published the article Four Twitter clients for Ubuntu have not spent much time, though they have appeared interesting alternative to programs where they discussed. Let's do a review of some of these developments saying the main advantages of each.

• Hotot

This lightweight flexible Twitter client looks really good and a very low resource consumption.

To install run: sudo

add-apt-repository ppa: hotot-team & & sudo apt-get update & & sudo apt-get install hotot

A Once installed you can launch from the console by typing hotot & or from the menu Applications - Internet - Hotot Twitter Client

Hotot

Its main advantages:

- Consumption of RAM: 33MB

- Supports extensions

- Preview images without loading them into the browser

- is integrated into the reporting system for Gnome and KDE

- Based on Python

• Turpial

Its characteristics are very Hotot similar to, and noted for being simple, light and refined appearance.

To install it: sudo

add-apt-repository ppa: effie-jayx/turpial & & sudo apt-get update & & sudo apt-get install turpial

Once installed it will available from the menu Applications - Internet - Oriole

Turpial

Its main advantages:

- Consumption RAM: 22.4 mb

- Based on Python

- Ability to "silence" temporarily

users

- Good balance between simplicity and configurability

• TweetDeck

This is probably the most compelted client I tried, but has a terrible disadvantage others: the system is based on Adobe Air, which means it is a great consumer of resources.

need to install the Air environment, you can download the package. Deb http://get.adobe.com/es/air/ directly and install it with the package manager. Once installed go to the website TweetDeck and click on the download button.

Once we installed the program available from the menu Applications - Accessories - TweetDeck

TweetDeck

Its main advantages:

- Multiplatform (Linux, Windows, Mac)

- Supports Twitter, Facebook, Buzz, Myspace and other popular social networks

- preview videos and pictures

- Publish tweets

scheduled

- Synchronization and backup account

- Twitscoop and Trending Topics, lists, filters ...

Among the disadvantages:

- Consumption of RAM: 93MB

- Adobe Air does not get along very well with 64-bit systems

(VI) - system analysis tools

An important aspect in safety and that many people ignore are more or less regular analysis of the system. These tests help us detect possible intrusions, assess and predict system security which are the main risks.

There are numerous tools for these tasks, some of them very simple, some complex. In this article I will introduce some that I found most useful and easy to use.

• What ports / services I have open? Nmap

Most remote intrusions occur through gaps in services we give to the outside. These services open ports through which it is theoretically possible to access the system.

nmap command we will (inter alia) to list these services:

sudo apt-get install nmap nmap

localhost

This will install nmap and list ports / services offered by our system, in my case for example this is the result: Starting Nmap

5.21 (http://nmap.org) at 12/09/2010 14:14 CET

Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1)

Host is up (0.00060s latency).

Hostname localhost resolves to 2 IPs. Only scanned 127.0.0.1

RDNS record for 127.0.0.1: localhost.localdomain

Not Shown: 997 closed ports

PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp open

ftp

139 / tcp open netbios-ssn 445/tcp

open microsoft-ds 631/tcp open

ipp

These results correspond to sharing files using Samba (ports 139 and 445), the network printer service (port 631) and ftp file server that I installed (port 21).

If you see ports or services that you need not listed you can disable the corresponding package uninstalling or modifying the startup scripts by following this article Optimize The Boot (II) Bum

Note: If you do not know exactly what a port / service can consult the web http://www.speedguide.net/ports.php

Another important point to be scanned, is the router (mainly for those connections you have ADSL), this scan will show what ports / services are directly accessible from the outside. Nmap 192.168.1.1

Just have to give nmap the IP address of your router. In my case this was the result: Starting Nmap

5.21 (http://nmap.org) at 12/09/2010 16:30 CET

Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.1 Host is

up (0.0035s latency).

Not Shown: 997 closed ports

PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp

open ftp 23/tcp open telnet

80/tcp open http

These results correspond to the methods of access to the configuration of the router (telnet and web port 23 port 80) and ftp port forwarding (port 21) to my local file server.

If you see ports or services that you need not listed you can disable or restrict access from the outside by setting the correct options for your router.

Note: you can see what ports / services are visible from outside the scanner found http://www.speedguide.net/portscan.php

• Do I have cast a trojan? Rkhunter

A Trojan is a type of malicious software that is generally intended to theft of private information from the infected system. They differ from viruses in that they generally do not cause visible damage.

GNU / Linux is not invulnerable to this type of software and infection is relatively easy, to know if we have been "infected" by some kind of Trojan have rkhunter tool, installation is simple

sudo apt-get install rkhunter

Once installed, run it with Order:

sudo rkhunter-c

This command will run a series of tests looking for Trojans and will ultimately result in a report like this: System checks

summary === ==================

File properties checks ...

Files checked: 131 Suspect files

: 0

Rootkit checks ...

Rootkits checked: 242 Possible rootkits

: 0

Applications

checks ... All checks skipped

Took The system checks: 1 minute and 46 seconds

All results

Have Been Written to the log file (/ var / log / rkhunter.log)

One or more warnings Have Been Found while checking the system.

Please check the log file (/ var / log / rkhunter.log)

If there is a Trojan program itself will give us instructions on how to remove and links to more information about the problem.

• What users enter the system? Lastlog

All access to the system are logged and can consult the register to see if someone is accessing your computer remotely as well as locally.

To view the log entries execute the command lastlog :

lastlog committed user and run rkhunter

to ensure that we have made any gifts in disguise.
