[00:39] Hello [00:40] Bashing-om: thanks [00:40] My Ubuntu 14.04.1 git ransomwared [00:40] all my stuff is encrypted [00:40] I read that someone found a way to decrypt [00:40] any ideas? [00:41] longus_catus: :) Pleased2help [00:41] How can I find out which version of the ransomware I got? [00:43] I don't mean to be "that guy" but did you backup your data? [00:44] well, sure, but it's a bit old [00:44] I could restore that, but recovery would be best [01:02] MDTech-us_MAN, how do you know it was ransomware? What exactly do you see [01:02] all files in home dir are replaced with files with .enc [01:03] and when I open them I see a bunch of seemingly random charecters [01:03] mysql db is also encrypted [01:04] MDTech-us_MAN, Did you get a popup or anything asking for bitcoin? [01:04] yea [01:04] on login [01:04] can anyone help me with ffplay ? PLZ [01:05] MDTech-us_MAN, basically I'm asking to see if there are hints at which ransomeware it was. Some of them have known keys or flaws that help find the keys [01:05] yea [01:05] any other info? [01:05] that can help narrow it down [01:06] exact wording, where it's displayed, if there is any branding, etc. Bonus if you know how you got it [01:06] its in /etc/motd [01:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25159218/ [01:07] cat /etc/motd | pastebinit [01:08] any idea on how to narrow down the entry points? [01:08] i found an example with ffplay(the example is: ffplay -f lavfi 'amovie=input.flac,asplit=2[out1][a],[a]avectorscope=m=polar:s=800x400[out0]') but instead of a file(input.flac) i want the url of a stream(http://112.121.150.133:9012/stream?type=http&nocache=122089) but everything i tested didn't worked [01:08] they encrypted the /var/log folder too [01:08] as in all the files in it [01:08] MDTech-us_MAN, Sorry, not knowledgeable enough in IT to help with that part [01:09] did it narrow it down any? [01:10] aha [01:10] found something [01:10] The first file that was encrypted starts with Salted__ [01:10] the rest don't [01:11] <[n0mad]> i have no idea either. don't really find anything out there about ransomware infecting ubuntu. do you have any idea how you became infected? [01:12] the logs are encrypted so I cant check them, [n0mad] [01:13] my guess would be ssh bruteforce [01:13] :q [01:15] MDTech-us_MAN, weird, was kicked. It looks like there is only one known ransomware for ubuntu, and it acts like you're mentioning: https://techcrunch.com/2015/11/06/linux-ransomware-is-now-attacking-webmasters/ [01:16] I tried that decryptor [01:16] it makes files with .encrypted not .enc [01:22] MDTech-us_MAN, You might be SOL. I'm still looking though [01:22] -_- [01:23] I dunno if it matters, but its a Digital Ocean VM [01:24] phew [01:24] at least it didnt encrypt the configs [01:25] <[n0mad]> shit i wouldn't keep anything on it [01:25] <[n0mad]> that's me personally [01:26] I know, but I put so much pain and suffering into those configs [01:26] <[n0mad]> well, if it's what you think and they ssh'd in then they could have done anything to anything [01:29] weirdly, I still can't find anything else infecting linux machines with ransomware. I assume there aren't logs of someone encrypting the files manually? [01:29] no [01:29] everything was encrypted withing a few min [01:31] I need an idoits guide to checksumming in windows for the ubuntu.iso [01:32] <[n0mad]> you were already provided the idiots guide [01:33] MDTech-us_MAN, This is a really stupid idea, but I think it's worth a shot: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15615578/how-to-open-a-txt-enc-file [01:33] Is there an idiots guide to checksumming in windows for the .iso? [01:33] lol [01:33] ok [01:34] <[n0mad]> !md5 | BandMan193 [01:34] BandMan193: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:34] <[n0mad]> 2nd link there is checking in windows [01:34] ok how about the guide using kleopatra? [01:34] # file report.xml.enc [01:34] report.xml.enc: data [01:36] MDTech-us_MAN, oh well. And this is why we use backups. I have 0 ideas left, save paying someone more qualifiied to take a shot. I'd nuke and pave, then restore from the older backup. [01:36] I guess... [01:36] it there and protection against this? [01:37] arandom spike in hard drive usage should point to a ransomware [01:38] MDTech-us_MAN, good passwords, closed ports, more frequent backups, better filesystem that allows you to roll back, staying offline, cutting off all services that you don't use [01:39] does ext4 allow rollback? [01:40] MDTech-us_MAN, not in the way you want [01:41] what do you mean? [01:42] MDTech-us_MAN, You would want a copy on write file system. ZFS is the current favorite. BcacheFS is the new hotness,btrfs is/was promising [01:43] MDTech-us_MAN: Basically, good backups can fix this in the future. As well as keeping your system up-to-date and putting some security measures in place. [01:44] MDTech-us_MAN: Something like incremental backups would be nice. You can have daily backups and many of them. [01:45] well... most of the important stuff seems fine [01:50] Hello? [01:52] yaboiguzma, hi. IF you got a question, feel free to ask [01:54] MDTech-us_MAN: Now would be a good time to get a good backup system in place, lest you want this to happen again in the future. It always takes one loss of data before good backups seem like a need. [01:55] just when I got in 4 4TB drive just for this purpouse [01:56] planning to do a raid 10 and dump all my crap there [02:04] hey [02:29] what packages do i need to build an apk from the cli? [02:33] openjdk-7-jdk and ant? or also android sdk? i am on 16.04 [02:38] What does rsyslogd do? I noticed it running in the background and was curious. [02:50] Monona, logs system daemons etc [02:50] check out /var/log/ [02:50] thats where its logs go [02:50] basicly its a unified log file writer/manager for unix [02:50] so every process dosent need to implement its own logging system [02:55] martian67: Cool, thanks. Looking at today's syslog file, pretty much no idea what all means what in there, but it's interesting. Haven't really dived much into system processes, now I've just got more questions... :) Is there a reason "mysql main process" would be respawning and terminating over and over every few seconds? [03:34] hello all, having a problem in xubuntu 16.04. im connected to my network thru a wired connection and also over wifi. however i cannot browse the internet with any browser or even update my system thru terminal.

[06:35] where i can find ubuntu with gnome shell instead of unity? [06:35] to download [06:35] https://ubuntugnome.org/ [06:38] Hello. I'm unsure as to what channel is the correct one, but since I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 I hope I can start here with my problem. I'm trying to deploy a website via SSH (php7.1-fpm and nginx is installed). The website is managed with CircleCI and I'm using a symlink to link to the current build directory (in case I need to roll back). nginx's document root is pointing at /home/user/www/live which is linked to a build like so: ln -s /home/user/builds/build_29/p [06:38] ublic /home/user/www/live - But for some reason, when opening the website in the browser, I'm presented with data from a previous build. Reloading/restarting nginx doesn't change anything, but deleting the old build directories and the latest build is presented. Might someone guess what the problem could be? [06:38] Ben64, when will ubuntu start to use gnome as default?

[08:12] hello [08:12] 17.04, yesterday backlight control worked, I've thought it could be dependent on kernel version change, but today I've loaded the old kernel again and unfortunstely backlight control still doesn't work [08:13] it looks like an issue not dependent on the kernel [08:13] cristian_c: backlght control, you mean via software? [08:13] for a keyboard as well [08:13] ? [08:13] sebsebseb: not, by hardware [08:14] sebsebseb: software control is not a real control, because it doesn't adjust leds [08:15] so, power consumption is at 100% even if screen is less bright [08:15] (with 'software control', I mean xrandr) [08:17] sebsebseb: lust only hardware control can really reduce the backlight level [08:17] sebsebseb: hardware control is run by keyboard keys or by applet [08:26] sebsebseb: yeah [08:39] so audio stops when switching away from my x-session (ctrl-alt-f2) I understand this is implemented in polkit somewhere. Any ideas on where to start looking?

[11:13] 16.04.2 is still 16.04 [11:13] right. but the kernel updates are only supported for a short period of time. [11:13] the point releases are just to incorporate updates into the installation media to save you downloading a years worth [11:14] Whatever it comes with is supported [11:14] You don'#t have to do anything special [11:14] so i'm not sure if installing 16.04.2 and then just doing dist-upgrade will get me though fine until 2021. [11:15] basically, it shows 16.04.1 with kernel 4.4 until 2021. [11:15] and .2 .3 .4 with later kernels all upgraded throughout the years. [11:17] on my desktop, i installed 16.04.1 and it's currently dist-upgraded to .2, but the kernel is still 4.4 [11:17] yet, i'm guessing if i install .2 from scratch, then the kernel there will be 4.8. [11:17] and not supported for long.

After a minute or two it starts working [12:10] oh ok, but yours isn't network related I believe..it just freezes then all good..but I have some sort of a connection problem which leads to a timeout [12:11] guys, do you know how to use strace command to detect any error regarding systemcal and signal?

[12:27] https://askubuntu.com/questions/904844/cant-connect-to-wifi-on-ubuntu-17-04 [12:28] i tried this [12:28] internet connection comes and goes [12:29] but the wifi network is stable [12:29] i can use it on my android [12:30] i added wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no to network config [12:30] but problem not solved. I am not able to change dns server list from network configuration [12:31] even if i edit the fields, the save button is not active [12:33] Unless you are running bootp and ipv6 what is the point. MAC's are not random. It is The IP assignment from DHCP that is probaly causing the problem What about the router. If you are using IPV4 then the router is using private addresses which are not visible to the internet. It the needs ro masquerade them (or redirect in MS terms) to on address. The routers address. [12:34] Then the router does the disparch from there to the local computer on the LAN [12:34] I want to use SSH via IPv6. It works on the LAN, do I have to change any settings to also accept requests from the WAN? [12:35] In DHCP adresses are generated from a pool usually private. Class A private start with 10.X.X.X. Class B private with 192.168.X.X [12:37] meles. Well a IPV6 is world readable and uniq. So any blocking would be by your firewall. [12:39] Mine blocks incoming IPV6 per default. god if you are using IPV4 internally. But in your case.. reconfigure [12:40] Younder firewall of my router I guess, otherwise local connection would also not work. right? [12:40] right [12:42] Waring be wary of IPV6 as you need to reconfigure security. [12:42] This book is your friend https://www.amazon.com/IPv6-Practice-Unixers-Generation-Internet/dp/3540245243 [12:42] Younder thanks. My ISP is deniying that - seems they have no idea, but i also fail with there s****y UI [12:43] Yes your ISP needs to support IPV6 as well. Most do, so check again. [12:44] meles, consider asking the #networking channel [12:45] Younder cfhowlett Thanks for your help. I just sent them another request and hope to get a proper answer. Otherwise I will consult the #networking channel.

[12:56] yep.. deluged is still giving me grief :( [12:57] oerheks even though it happens on Firefox and Chromium ? [12:58] beefjoe, why not try? or do you have a special networking setup, like a proxy? [12:58] no, but I recently added Google's DNS as someone here recommended but nothing changed [13:00] Cleared cache, passwords, profile, restarted and still the same :/ [13:01] All I can tell you is I had the same problem and I coudn't make it go away, so I uspect it is in the code base [13:02] Younder Ubuntu16.04 ? [13:03] I did the delete .casche and .config bits. Didn't try the DNS change. And yes 16.04 [13:06] From what I have gathered from Ubuntu User, The client side of Ubuntu has been downs-staffed and I suspect it is more in the Ubuntu additions/tweaks to the code where you will find the problem. But I am by no means certain of this. [13:07] down-staffed. [13:09] so if that example does not properly work on your firefox 54, i have no clue [13:10] n my machine firefox works fine [13:11] -.- [13:12] is there anywhere else we could ask ? [13:12] on what linux version is this, beefjoe, what firefox version and chromium? [13:13] firefox 54.0 64-bit - Ubuntu16.04 [13:13] Chromium: Version 59.0.3071.109 (Developer Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit) [13:13] Get help with Chromium [13:20] beefjoe, I'll try whatwg. though they re mostly web developers. [13:21] It would help if we could isolate the error. and get a more accurate error report. [13:22] Hi all, I'm setting up my Dell XPS13 under 16.04, I encrypted the disk during startup, now I'm upgrading the system packages it halts and prompts my password every 5 second: [13:22] "Please enter passphrase for disk cryptswap1 on none!" [13:22] How do we get rid of this, does it uncrypt the disk during the whole session? [13:22] Have you tried looking at the packages reported from wireshark? [13:23] sigh.. ok I'll look into it [13:24] courrier, Yes it decryps the disk and provides an extra layer of security [13:24] for te netire session [13:24] for the entire session [13:25] Younder: but it keeps asking the passphrase, then? [13:25] for i in $(cat asn.txt) ; do curl -s https://api.iptoasn.com/v1/as/ip/$i | awk -F ',' '{print substr($1,3)} ' ; done [13:25] courrier, no [13:25] it really happens every 5sec during apt-get uprgade [13:25] i want to print value of i next to the output i am gettting from this command [13:25] how should i do it?? [13:25] Younder haven't downloaded wireshark [13:26] Younder: sorry I was not clear, this is not a question, this is a statement, apt-get upgrade prompts my passphrase every 5sec [13:26] beefjoe, well I have and I'll give it a shot. It is a complicated program to master anyhow. [13:27] haha yea [13:27] checking it out now [13:30] beefjoe, you might find use for 'Practical packet analysis using wireshark for real world problems" from amazon [13:30] wow that's a lot xD [13:31] told U [13:31] can someone tell me why my mouse cursor is bigger on some applications? [13:31] such as xfce terminal and chrome [13:32] mouse bigger in terminal .. ?? [13:32] Kingsy, Each app can change the cursor when it enters a area of the screen by evens such as on-focus. [13:33] any fancy theme installed, Kingsy ? [13:35] Younder do tell if you find anything. I'll keep you posted :) [13:35] Younder: but surely an app like chrome wouldnt do this by default? [13:35] oerheks: yeah! [13:37] Kingsy, does it solve with : chrome > settings > appearance > use gtk+ [13:37] diff in theme handling i guess [13:46] oerheks: already on use gtk+ inchrome [13:46] it also happens in xfce terminal [13:47] beefjoe, well there are a lot of retransmissions. That shouldn't be happening. [13:48] :/ [13:52] hello @ all [13:53] how does ubuntu handle ccitt/pbm and/or jbig2 encoded images? [14:00] hi, during the installation process of ubuntu, there is an option, which packages to install... you can use this function after installation to add/remove packages... i can´t remember the name, can anybody help me? [14:03] Hello, I recently updated my ubuntu kernel from 3.13 to 4.2. Now, I am getting a syslog message "device br0 entered promiscuous mode" and "device br0 left promiscuous mode" which are filling up the /var/log partition which is halting my system [14:03] I am running ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I have two questions. Each time I start my machine I get a pop up "a system error has been detected..." and a report or ignore option. I've reported it many times and ignored many times. How do I investigate this? I believe it's graphics related. I use my machine for scientific computing and after 24-48 hrs of running sometimes the graphics on my dual screens goes into a [14:03] "checkerboard" pattern and I restart and everything is good again. [14:04] My hypothesis is I have an NVIDIA graphics card with a motherboard that may not have 100% ubunut support [14:04] !info tasksel | Schnabeltierchen [14:04] Schnabeltierchen: tasksel (source: tasksel): tool for selecting tasks for installation on Debian systems. In component main, is optional. Version 3.34ubuntu5 (zesty), package size 31 kB, installed size 244 kB [14:04] Schnabeltierchen: installation process is named ubiquity [14:04] I have a GeForce GTX 660 [14:05] I have deluged installed on my machine, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to set up the permissions on my Downloads folder so that the deluge user can write to it. Or when it does, my own user as no permission to read the files deluge user creates. [14:05] Schnabeltierchen: try to read the ubiquity man, if any [14:05] mcphail ,yeay it was tasksel!!! thx :) [14:05] cristian_c it was tasksel :) [14:05] Schnabeltierchen: I always forget the name of it, too! :) [14:06] Also I would like my bluetooth apple keyboard and mouse to automatically connect. Is this possible with added bluetooth hardware on ubunut? [14:07] Schnabeltierchen: I thought it was related to debian [14:07] maybe, you mean ubuntu alternate [14:08] jayjo: have you ever tried to 'continue' in place of 'ignore'? [14:09] cristian_c: yea, definitely. I use this machine daily for production and it's been happening for months. I've tried all the combos [14:09] So it's not a breaking issue, but it's a red flag [14:09] it's strange [14:10] The only other weird error is my logs don't delete so I'll run out of swap space once a month and have to manually clear the gz files [14:10] jayjo: nouveau driver? [14:10] so these things are annoying but not enough to threaten the integrity of the system [14:10] or at least I naively believe that [14:11] I recently tried updating to a new nvidia driver directly from them but the behavior is the same as before [14:11] I alternated back and forth and have decided on the newer supported version from nvidia [14:11] "supported" [14:12] jayjo, Are you using UEFI boot? [14:13] Yes, I am. for completeness here is the output of lspci: https://bpaste.net/show/c7aa6f08f10f [14:14] You see the kryptokey is sha256 whereas Ubnunu 16 requires sha512 so it is rejected. Therefore the pre-compile part of the driver loads but the driver does not. [14:15] So you do not get the defauld Novoux and also not the nvidia driver. [14:16] The souldtion I found was to turn off strick checking in BIOS [14:17] Not ideal, but I don't have to generate a new crypto key each time nivea come with a new version of the driver [14:18]
