Subject:   Mail services back to normal, for now

Hi All

We came under attack tonight at 1652Hrs (EST) from multiple IP address's
in China on both of our mail servers over the past 6 hours, taking both
mailservers down, the primary server went down at aprox 2021Hrs, the
secondary one stayed up longer until 2344Hrs due to having larger
disk drives. I of cause was busy working through this and discovered
it when I got home.

The secondary server went off line down due to lack of disk space as
the log files had grown to big, as had the volume of error messages.

The primary server simply crocked on the shear volume of hits on
the incoming ports, as this one took the full force of the attack.

Only the mailservers were taken offline, no other services were
affected, and mail is back to normal, 119 IP ranges in China have
been banned at the firewall, as the traffic is continuing.

I have no knowledge of why we have been targetted, so I'll simply
be sending all logs over to the Australian Federal Police to let them
figure it out.

Since writing this, I've discovered I'm not the only one, seems to
be a few other AntiSpammers have also been targetted including
SpamCop.

I'm expecting more attacks to occur in the coming days so my
apologies if the list is up and down like a yoyo.

Cheers

Hi Chris,
The IAK also came with Warp 3 Connect - but the suggestion from IBM was 
to use the full version also included.
Injoy is a better bet.  Doesn't really matter whether you have a LAN, 
unless you're using TCP/IP as the LAN directly - e.g. FTP/TELNET etc., 
locally.

Only finds TOWER.

Should my LAN adapter on the OS/2 box have OS/2 Netbios or OS/2 NETBIOS over TCPIP?
Should the XP box be set for WORKGROUP=IBMPEERS or DOMAIN=IBMPEERS? (it won't allow me to do the latter anyway)

You misunderstood me - the standard system administrator USER-ID on the 
XP will be ADMINISTRATOR with all privileges.
Make sure that on the TOWER under OS/2 there is a USER-ID of 
ADMINISTRATOR with the same password as the XP-USER-ID of ADMINISTRATOR 
has, and has administrator privileges on OS/2 also.

Have shutdown the other system and powered up in W2KP-mode to check 
where the settings actually were, and you were right it is under users 
etc. in Control Panel - check out all the "advanced" buttons etc and 
make sure you're not trying to share the C$ to other machines - [admin 
only] - make sure you create other share profiles for the drive(s), with 
the correct permissions.

Thirdly, I am unable to access the internet from home, and so need to do

Last night, I reinstalled eCS 1v1, with just the modem internet access 
option.

I can dial up my ISP, using In-Joy dialler, and establish the connection, 
and then nothing happens.

In-Joy reports my IP address and the gateway IP address, but running the 
browser or email and news go nowhere.

Is anyone using a modem dial up connection successfully with eCS 1v1.

Does it show your DNS servers correctly?
Can you successfully do a "nslookup  www.google dot com" for example?

Hi Dennis,

It sounds like the ISP's system has not completed the handshaking
and verification etc (or part thereof).

You are obviously asking for INJOY users help since that is what
you are using.  I have not used dialup for a few years now
and have never used InJoy.

BUT:-
If you want to try the IBM Dial Other Providers type of Dialler 
I can send you a copy of a dummy (NO passwords) tcpos2.ini file.
This file contains a lot of examples of other ISP connections
I had tried over the years.  

One of the scripting examples may resemble your requirements.

You would be advised to back up your existing tcpos2.ini file
(if it exists) and substitute it for mine.

I have given this file to a number of os2 users over the years
and most found it to be of help.

From memory, I think it has scripting for Hotkey, Netstra (defunct
and is now Hotkey), IBM, OptusNet dialup, OzOnline, TPG, OzEmail, 
BigPond dialup.  You would have to customise for your own NAME
and PASSWORD though and keep in mind that it is several years old.  
NO AlphaLink dialup though, I never got around to trying that service.

Hope this helps.

Robert Traynor (BobT).

Hi Rob

I tried the IBM Other ISP dialer, same effect except I got a c000000e or 
c000000d exception, and shortly thereafter the CPU got very busy, I had it 
in debugging mode and were receiving about one char per second, the CPU 
monitor was at 99.9%.

As far as I can tell the connection connects OK.
Injoy reports my IP addr and the gateway IP addr.

If I run netstat -r I get routes to the main DNS the reserve DNS the 
gateway and several other routes. However I am unable to ping any of them 
other than the gateway IP addr. All of the routes were for ppp0. There 
were a couple for lo too.

But if I look at the statistics and see what packets have been sent out 
and received, none of the sent packets have been rejected or been unable 
to send. They have all gone somewhere.

If I direct the browser to these addresses I get rejection notices.

Last night I was desperate enough to contemplate installing version 1.0, 
but someone is realy screwing up my life at the moment because the 1.0 CD 
has a crack from the centre hole to about halfway to the edge. Talk about 
planned obselence.

To me it looks like TCP/IP is not getting or using the correct DNS.

In the InJoy settings, have you tried setting both the IP and DNS
addresses to zero? Is it possible your ISP uses dynamic settings for both.
It is important that you set them as 0.0.0.0  

Something similar happened to me a *long* time ago. When I rang up my
(then) ISP to complain, he told me that both settings were dynamic. That's
when I tried it, and have not looked back ever since. 

It may not be your solution, but I hope it helps in some way.

Subject:  Re:  SEC: UNCLASSIFIED:-

Hi Dennis

Check your config.sys for 

DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\FWIP.SYS
DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\IPSEC.SYS

and remove them

Also remove these unless you are using Netbu over TCP/IP
DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\AFNB.SYS /S:50 /C:80 /N:42
RUN=C:\MPTN\BIN\AFNBINI.EXE

What do you have in your c:\mptn\etc\hosts and resolve2 files,
I'm also assuming that the IBM c:\mptn\etc\services file exists ?

What do you get when you do a "ping 127.0.0.1" ?

What do you get when you do a "ping 209.98.32.14" ?

==============================
Injoy specific :-

in the "IP address configuration" make sure both "Your" and "Dest"
IP address's are 0.0.0.0, and netmask is 255.255.255.0

Your ISP's DNS server also needs to be specified on this panel.
Untick Autoconnect, Firewall/NAT, and Packet Filtering.

Hi Dennis,

Ian and Nicholas are probably the best bet to help you
with InJoy problems, so I will leave that part to them.

If you want I can copy my eCS 1.0 (old eCS) cd for you.
So far that makes about 3 people, me included, that had
cds from the first eCS 1.0 that developed cracks from 
the centre hole for no apparent reason.

Personally I suspect the glue that was used on the 
print paper may have created a stress of the plastic
of the blank.

Just let me know if you want me to burn the copy and
I will bring it tonight to the os2 SIG meeting.
Your other option would be to email Mark Rogers,
but he must be busy as he has not replied to some of mine
for over a week.

Terrific Rob, Burn me a copy and I will pick it up tonight.
Before I leave home I'll try all that has been recomended.

Thanks everyone.

Regards
Dennis.

Hi Dennis,

Ian and Nicholas are probably the best bet to help you
with InJoy problems, so I will leave that part to them.

If you want I can copy my eCS 1.0 (old eCS) cd for you.
So far that makes about 3 people, me included, that had
cds from the first eCS 1.0 that developed cracks from
the centre hole for no apparent reason.

Personally I suspect the glue that was used on the
print paper may have created a stress of the plastic
of the blank.

Just let me know if you want me to burn the copy and
I will bring it tonight to the os2 SIG meeting.
Your other option would be to email Mark Rogers,
but he must be busy as he has not replied to some of mine
for over a week.

Regards,
Robert Traynor (BobT).

dustributed hey :)

No, its one of the http://www.distributed dot net roundrobbin servers,
part of a project to use brut force to crack encryption keys in an
effort to show the world that stronger encryption is needed, and
because they can...

I just specified it off the top of my head as something external to
try a ping to, that I know should work.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the info - I've got in the habit of doing an nslookup on 
google to check whether I'm getting out OK.

At this stage I'd consider de-installing and re-installing all protocols on all machines. I know this sounds somewhat desperate but experience has shown that this usually works and takes less time that continuing to battle to find why there's a problem.

Your decision as to whether you think this is worth it.

Oh just a couple of guidelines, make all machinenames upper case and not longer than 10 characters and of course no spaces or special characters in the machine names.

Cheers/2

To keep it simple just have Netbios and TCPIP enabled on the OS2 Box - ie remove Netbios over TCPIP - using that
option (as long as you're using at least MPTS v6) allows OS/2 to talk to XP without having to add Netbeui to XP, but
we've done that already anyway.

Are you running an old XWorkplace?  I had a problem with earlier
versions where the MMOS/2 classes (this includes bitmaps), would loose
their icons, and sometimes be replaced by some random icon.  I could
never figure out what triggered it, other than moving image files
around.  It wouldn't surprise me if saving an image from PMMail would
have triggered it.  Anyway, it seems to have been fixed with XWP 1.0.1.
