Trixar_zaMorning Squirm, Kilos, magespawn, mazal and bduk106:18
Kiloshi Trixar_za 06:19
Squirmhi Trixar_za 06:19
Trixar_zaThey fixed the bug that was causing the crash on the IRCd06:19
Trixar_za:)06:19
Squirmnice06:19
Trixar_zaIt was the oper_autojoin that was the problem06:19
Squirmoh06:19
Kilosgood06:19
Squirmfun06:19
Trixar_za[08:15:39][Niichan] it was introduced with away-notify, channel joins by autojoin_opers don't have a full client structure somehow [23:36:33]06:20
Trixar_za[08:15:39][Niichan] (in the channel join function) [23:36:46]06:20
Trixar_za[08:15:39][Niichan] and it says that the autojoin_opers joins break bans (which they don't) [23:37:08]06:20
Trixar_za^06:20
mazalMorning Trixar_za 06:22
Squirmwondering if help can be given06:27
Squirmhow would I log a mac address, along with the corresponding IP address06:28
SquirmI would like it to log all the IP addresses associated with that one mac address06:28
Squirmso if the user had to change his address, I would know he has done so and what address he is at now06:31
Squirmthey are obviously using static addresses and all go through a gateway server06:31
magespawnSquirm, then how does the user change the ip address?06:31
Squirmby modifying the IP address on their phone/computer themselves?06:32
magespawncan you not lock the ip to the mac address on the router06:32
Squirmnot the way I have things setup06:33
Squirmmy knowledge of iptables only goes so far06:33
Trixar_zahttp://www.lfgcomic.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/lfg2616-720-nov07-13.gif06:33
Trixar_zaAh Richard, you so funny06:33
* Squirm kicks Trixar_za 06:33
SquirmI thought it was relevant06:34
magespawnon most routers they allow you to dhcp the same address to the pc based on its mac address06:34
Trixar_zaNope, but it's funny so it's always relevant06:34
Squirmmagespawn: but that's dhcp06:34
Squirmthese are static addresses06:34
magespawnyes understood, of you change the router to dhcp but have it assign them statically according to mac, not a real answer to your question06:36
Trixar_zahttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/2010816/get-remote-mac-address-using-python-and-linux06:37
Trixar_za*coff*06:37
SquirmTrixar_za: the machine can't run python06:37
Trixar_zaMy google-fu might be slipping though06:37
Squirmit's IPCop06:37
Squirma very stripped down BSD system06:37
Squirmbuilt to be as secure as possible06:37
Trixar_zaPerl?06:37
Squirmthat may work06:38
Squirmyes06:38
magespawnSquirm IPcop is your router?06:38
Squirmthat will work06:38
Trixar_zahttp://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=6838006:38
Trixar_za:P06:38
Squirmmagespawn: I did say Gateway server :P06:38
Squirmbut basically, yes06:38
magespawnsorry my bad06:38
magespawnwas thinking something like a linksys etc.06:39
SquirmTrixar_za: problem is, I don't want to input any ip addresses06:39
Squirmthat's why I think it needs to be done with iptables06:39
Trixar_zaYou have no MAC address and no IP, yet you want to grab both as the IP changes? Oo06:40
Squirmok06:41
Squirmas a packet passes through the server06:41
Squirmit has both mac address and IP address attached06:41
SquirmI want t write those to a file06:41
Squirmfor every packet06:41
Squirmso when someone does change their Ip address, I will be able to see that the mac address is the same06:42
Squirmbut the IP is different06:42
SquirmI wrote a bash script restricting access to the internet06:42
Squirmpeople have found a loophole06:42
Squirmand it's bugging the hell out of me06:42
Squirms/people/students06:42
SquirmI was impressed with the guy who discovered it, but now I've banned 7 mac addresses, in the past 3 days06:43
Squirmnow I'm annoyed06:43
gerritfromsaSquirm, you'll have to run a man-in-the-middle to do this succesfully06:43
Trixar_zaAh, so package filtering and logging06:43
Squirmby banned I mean I just drop the outgoing traffic by mac06:43
gerritfromsathe you can use tshark to scan the packet and awk out the mac and ip06:43
Trixar_zaHehehe06:44
Squirmgerritfromsa: my problem is a bit with IPCop06:44
Squirmit's very limited in capability06:44
Squirmso I had to learn bash :/06:44
Trixar_zaSquirm, remember how you found a few loopholes while you where there?06:44
Trixar_zaKarma hey06:44
SquirmTrixar_za: my bash script it 530 lines06:44
Squirm:/06:44
gerritfromsaYou you have some money you can use a Ethernet TAP to capture - it's safer to use to capture06:44
Squirmyou know how long it took me to learn bash06:44
Squirmwell, not long, but it was about 3 days of coding :/06:45
Squirmpretty solid days06:45
gerritfromsathat script should be like 50 lines max06:45
Squirmgerritfromsa: not what I've done with it06:45
Squirmit's basically a quota system06:46
gerritfromsagothca06:46
Squirmso it restricts internet access06:46
Squirmand it applies a set quota to those that are allowed06:46
Squirmwhich reset daily06:46
gerritfromsawriting to DB ?06:46
Squirmmonitors the iptables' packet counter06:46
Squirmna, just watches the counter06:46
Squirmthen at the end of they day zeros all counters06:47
SquirmI would have been so much happier and my code would have been so much neater if it had been done in python :/06:49
Squirmbut it works06:49
Squirmworked*06:49
Squirmbrainwave06:49
Squirmbbl06:49
Squirm:/06:54
Squirmyou can only use mac addresses in PREROUTING/OUTPUT06:54
Squirmnot in a user created chain :/06:54

Squirmthe rest would have found out from him :P07:10
Kilosoh is he sharing the how to07:11
Squirmit did push my cred up with the kids quite a bit07:11
Squirmnot that I care07:11
Squirm:P07:11
Kiloshehe07:11
Squirmbecause the ban message comes up when they open their browser07:11
Kilosyou one of the evil adults now07:11
Squirmonce they're banned, all there http traffic is redirected to a page asking for them to bring us biltong07:12
Kiloslol07:12
gerritfromsamac spoofing where we come ...07:12
Kilosmaybe they will, worth a try07:12
Kilosyou will end up tired of biltong07:13
Trixar_zaI endorse this message of giving a root his biltong07:13
gerritfromsagot a graving for biltong all of a sudden?07:14
Kilosits actually quite funny07:14
Kiloscraving07:14
Trixar_zaYes07:14
Trixar_za:P07:14
gerritfromsagraving = craving with gravy ;)07:14
Kiloshehe07:14
Trixar_zaBribery is fine as long as it's biltong07:15
Kiloseeek gravy on tong07:15
Trixar_zaI'd probably act indigent and still take the biltong as compensation07:15

Kiloshi Vince-0 07:17
Vince-0!07:20
Kilosmazal: why not use aptitude instead of apt-get in your script07:20
Kilosaptitude does more07:21
Squirmgerritfromsa: I can promise you know07:22
Squirmnot one person here will know how to spoof a mac address07:22
Kilosas in with a clean install you run apt-get upgrade then you get the update manager popping up and showing there are more upgrades07:22
mazalI don't know aptitude and it automatically removes packages as it likes07:22
mazalI don't like that07:22
Kilosi havent had aptitude make mistakes yet07:22
nlsthznapt-get has super cow powers07:22
Kilosbut it asks before removing them07:22
gerritfromsaI dont believe that , its a Linux channel at least a few will know07:23
Squirmgerritfromsa: at the school07:23
mazalI don't like to use things in a unattended script that automatically removes stuff07:23
Kilosya but apt-get done get the linux stuffs which aptitude does07:23
gerritfromsaoh maybe so , but they can google it07:23
gerritfromsathey all using windows?07:23

Kiloswe have tried everything else07:52
mazalNope , it works fine like that and was working fine. It's an update that broke it07:52
magespawni am trying to install unetbootin, it is failing when trying to fetch the translations from za.archive.ubuntu.com, anyone know if there is a problem?07:53

Kilosor maybe the morror is sick07:54
Kilosthe fly been having probs07:54

Kilosai!10:06
mazalAnd I did it using a guide specifically for 12.0410:07
Kiloslol those guides have often dropped me in the deep end10:08
mazalAt this stage it's just the one Ubuntu fail after another. Hurts to say , but is the truth10:09
mazalbrb , gonna load back my image to get back where I were10:09

Kilosah10:22
mazalMade image before I tried , loaded back image now10:23
Kilosyou should reinstall there man. cant keep on sukkeling10:23
mazalDon't have time for that. Updates shouldn't break the system10:24
Kilosyou got something corrupt there if it keeps adding probs10:24
mazalWill concider it when I'm on leave later the year. Takes long to re-install10:25
Kilosif it was a faulty upgrade then there will be lotsa peeps moaning10:25
Kiloswhere is your remastersys iso10:25
Kilosthats a quick install10:26
Kilosup and running in an hour10:26
Kiloseven upgraded10:26
Kilosjust dont make one of the system as it is now10:27
mazalYa that will be plan A10:27
mazalProblem is if plan a fails then it's complete re-install10:27
mazalBut I guess I could always just load back the image I made now if plan A fails as well10:27
Kiloslol10:28
Kilosbut thats reloading the same faulty thing10:28
mazalBetter than 3 nights of re-install10:29
mazalThe problem is not big enough to warrant that10:29
Kilostry turning off that goodie for a day and then opening it again10:30
Kilosthat recent files thing10:31
mazalBusy installing installing advanced settings. Will check if I can find something with that10:34
Kilosand/or even delete that history10:34
Kilosin privacy in settings10:34
mazalI wonder what will happen if I delete everything in home an login10:34
Kilosno man thats a major job10:35
mazalhehehehe10:35
Kiloseasier to reinstall10:35
Kiloslook in settings10:35
Kilosyou must have privacy there10:35
mazalDon't have much hope for this advanced settings tool. Is more a gnome3 tool. Not really unity tool10:36
Kilosman the privacy setting must be there10:36
Kiloswith no advanced nothing10:37
Kilosall settings in the top row is privacy10:37
mazalYeah those I know off , been there already last week. Everything looks normal there10:37

spinzapsyatw: hi 13:10
spinzaKilos: thanks,  only ubuntu question I have had recently is whether upgrading to 13.10 messes up services and other things installed on 13.04 and what is the best strategy to avoid this happening? 13:13
magespawnhey spinza13:14
Kilosspinza, if you are on 12.04 then stay there till 14.0413:32
Kilos13.04 support stops in december so you might not have a choice13:32
Kilossorry i didnt read the whole post first13:33
Kilosyou running unity i take it?13:33
Kilosfirst let us give you commands to rsync your existing /home to a folder on a stick or external. then if upgrading messes up anything you can easily reinstall 13.04 and not lose any settings or so13:35

inetprohave they change it in the latest release?18:24
inetprochanged*18:24
* inetpro should actually try the latest release18:25
inetprojust wish bandwidth was not so costly18:25
Kilosai!18:26
inetproKilos: maybe whatsapp will wake up on one sunny day in the future to release something that can work on the PC18:27
inetprowould be nice if we could find a connector of sorts to whatsapp users from within IRC18:30

inetprothat is bizarre 19:09
inetproI wouldn't have waited that long for sure19:09
inetproeasy enough to change it19:09
Kilosya but better to get someone to fix it19:10
inetproya but then you must complain to the right people19:10
Kilosthats where you come in19:11
Kiloswho are they19:11
inetprono19:11

inetprohttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors19:11
inetproIf you want to get in touch with other mirror-admins, feel free to join us at #ubuntu-mirrors on Freenode. Also, if you have questions, email us at mirrors@ubuntu.com. 19:12
Kilosty sir19:12

inetproKilos: what are you asking?19:13
Kilosor could the prob be from that place Symmetria worked19:13
Kiloswho fixes broken mirrors man19:14
Kilosor maintains them19:14
Kilosdidnt Symmetria used to fix them for us before?19:15
inetprothe owners of the mirror sites19:15
inetprothey fix their own mirrors19:15
inetprobut at canonical there are people who manage these things19:15
inetproread https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors#Country_mirror_requirements19:16
inetprotumbleweed: you been on #ubuntu-mirrors fro some time, what's happening with our country mirror?19:22
inetprofor*19:22
inetproor where do they actually talk about the mirrors?19:23
inetprolooks like the mailing list is not very active19:23

inetprosê vir my wat jy verander19:30
Kilosi have done it in muon yet19:30

Kilosi havent done it in muon19:31
Kilosprefer synaptic to muon anyway19:31
Kiloshavent you ever seen update manager look for the best mirror?19:32
Kilossjoe19:32
* inetpro in case of trouble removes the za. in /etc/apt/sources.list19:33
inetproI know that is the old ways19:33
Kilosno man19:33
Kiloslemme go to kde and look whats there19:33
Kilosgnome update manager can actually find the best mirror for you19:34
Kiloswbb19:34
kbmonkeyare these debian repos or ubuntu?19:36
Kiloshmm...19:37
Kilosjust over 2 mins to change drives19:37

kbmonkeyif its debian repos you could swap them for other ones Kilos 19:41
Kilosits the kde package managers19:41
kbmonkeyah19:41
kbmonkeyokay. kde is a bit large for my bandwidth.19:42
inetproKilos: kde doesn't use different repositories19:42
inetproor do they now?19:42
superflyohi from work19:43
inetprosuperfly: why at work?19:43

inetproahh, ok19:44
inetprohope it goes well19:44
kbmonkeyouch, that sounds painful on a friday 19:45
kbmonkeycoming from someone who likes to program for fun :p19:45
kbmonkeyI can't believe I had to work on a windows machine this entire week. I feel so gross.19:49
kbmonkeymust have spent about 30% of the time battling with stability issues, that is a *lot* when it comes to keeping a professional profile.19:51

Kilosip configuration is un available19:53
Kilosty inetpro kbmonkey 19:53
Kiloswhere is the main server19:54
inetproyou mean physically? does it matter?19:54
Kiloslol19:55
Kilosi want to know if its the best one man19:55
inetpronslookup archive.ubuntu.com19:55
Kilosi think all za mirrors are sick19:55
Kilosthe fly had probs this week19:56
Kilosohi superfly 19:56
Kilossorry didnt see you there19:56
inetproI see that ^^ address pointing to at least 9 IP addresses 19:57
kbmonkeycould it be a za 'ternet issue?19:57
Kilosso guys how do i make something in this pc ping something else to keep the modem active19:57
kbmonkeyKilos, you could add a cron job to ping google every 15 minutes XD19:58
inetproza.archive.ubuntu.com is pointing to 196.220.59.84 and 41.73.43.319:58
Kiloseish im scared of those things man19:58
kbmonkeybut would it help?19:58
inetproza.ubuntu-archive.africanmirrors.net and za.ubuntu-archive.africanmirrors.net19:58
Kilosits only when im away for a while it timesout19:58
inetproat least from my point of view19:58
Kilosin an hours time ill tell you if main is a good one or not20:00
inetpromtr -i 10 www.google.com20:00
inetprothat ^^ will ping / traceroute to google every 10 seconds20:00
inetprountil you hit ctrl+c20:01
kbmonkeyhey the pro has got something there20:01
inetpromake it 60 to change the interval to once a minute20:02
Kiloswont that use data20:03
inetprominimal, if i=6020:03
Kilosoh ty inetpro 20:03
kbmonkeya ping uses very little data20:04
Kiloswithout sudo?20:04
inetproalso minimal even without -i (default is 1 second) but please don't do that20:05
inetproICMP flooding is not very nice20:05
inetprorephrase: flooding the network with ICMP packets would not be very friendly of you20:06
Kilosmtr -i 60 www.google.com20:07
Kilosisnt google gonna get cross20:07
kbmonkeyping sends 64 bytes, add some for the headers and receive packets. it is miniscule.20:07
inetproKilos: try with a low value first for a short period then use 6020:07
Kilosyeah i just watched iftop20:07
Kilosinetpro: reason?20:08
inetproKilos: you just want to keep your modem up, not?20:08
kbmonkeyif you ping once a minute for 24 hours it uses 92kb20:08
Kilosyes20:08
Kilosyes it looks very thrifty20:09
Kilosi wonder where that timeout thing is in the e22020:10
kbmonkey64 * 60 * 24 = 9216020:10
inetproKilos: an ICMP flood attack is a method of denial-of-service (or ‘DoS’) attack otherwise known as a ‘ping flood’20:11
Kilosyes but isnt the low number gonna ping them more often20:12
Kilosso 60 is better20:12
inetprobut I don't think your mtr will even cause that with just one second20:12
Kilosshould ping ms rather20:12
kbmonkeyLOL20:12
kbmonkeybestest idea ever, Kilos :020:12
Kiloshehe20:12
Kilosdid they really buy suse?20:13
inetprodon't try it!20:13
Kilosno i wont20:13
Kilosbut should rather ping yahoo than google20:13
kbmonkeya good server can respond to many thousands of requests per second. when you go over that amount it is a DOS20:14
Kilosor hotmail20:14
kbmonkey... unless it is a windows sql server. hahaha.20:15
Kilosah then 1 ping a minute is nothing20:15
Kilosinetpro: new kde very lekker20:15
Kilosbet youve never installed an OS in 12 mins20:16
inetproa denial of service action is considered a CRIME, even if you don't think so20:16
inetproKilos: that is good news20:16
TonberryIs it even physically possible to DOS google from a single south african internet conncetion without resorting to amplification trickery?20:18
inetproTonberry: I doubt20:18
* inetpro was just stating the obvious20:18
inetprodon't want to feed any of you with peanuts in jail20:19
kbmonkeygreat point Tonberry! we will run out of data before we reach a critical ping level :P20:19
Kilosyou just trying to frighten me20:19
Kilosisnt that where they use virri to hack peeps pcs and all send spam stuffs20:20
kbmonkeywhat? SA's government is on top form with cyber security and technology? have you _seen_ the sars website lately?20:21
inetprokbmonkey: what did you see?20:22
kbmonkeyI saw stupid people. I cannot unsee it. doing tax returns haunts me!20:24
inetpro:-)20:24
kbmonkeythe irony is that the manual paperwork process is much quicker after a redesign, lol.20:25
* inetpro went to the office earlier this year and was surprised to see how quick and easy it was20:26
inetprosars office*20:26
inetproalways had problems with the online experience 20:27
kbmonkeyyes, the human interface part has been improved greatly.20:27
kbmonkeyso just don't try ping flood the humans, he he20:27
kbmonkeyyou may get arrested for indecent exposure20:27

kbmonkeyhello major tom, do you read me?20:28
Tonberryrepeat at insane rate20:28
Tonberrygood thing computers are better at saying yes than we are20:29
kbmonkeybut do they understand the question...20:30
* Kilos loves ctrl+r on konversation20:32
kbmonkeywhat does that do Kilos ?20:32
Kilosunderlines20:33
Kilosfor if you go away so you know where you left off reading20:33
inetproKilos: I wish that feature was available for quassel20:34
Kilosyeah its so handy20:35
inetproone of the features that I miss from the konversation days20:35
Kilosi dunno why you dont use it from your lappy at home20:35
inetproquassel also has a red line indicator, but only if you where not in the channel20:36
Kilosya like xchat20:36
Kiloskonversation rocks20:36
inetproKilos: clearly you have no idea how useful quassel is for me20:36
Kiloscan even bloep20:36
inetprotrumps all the features in konversation 20:37
Kilosnope i dont apart from showing online from work or home or wherever20:37
inetprowell you would need a core to connect to in order to see the usefulness20:37
inetproa core that stays connected 24/720:38
Kilosya but no advantage for me with one connection20:38
inetprosorry20:38
inetprodon't you have a VPS?20:39
kbmonkeyI like my irssi over ssh. keeps away messages and is all I need.20:40
Kiloswhats that?20:41
KilosMaaz: define VPS20:43
MaazKilos: I don't know about VPS. Maybe you meant Ops, Vas, Vis, ps, veps, bps, cps, fps, gps, mps, ops, vas, vms, vs, vp, vsp, vpsd, pps, hps, qps, rps, ips, sps, jps, aps, tps, ups, lps, dps, eps, wps, xps, vrs, vis, vss, vbs, vcs, vts, vds, ves, vfs, vos, vpp, vpi, vpa, vpc, vpt, vpu, vpl, vpd, vpe or vpn?20:43
