Thread: Examining a compromised server.

  1. #21
    I honestly felt disgusted when our second meeting with Symantec took place. In the first meeting it was decided that we declare it as an incident and initiate our place (which anyway don't exist), anyway second meeting one guy walks up with a print out of how their scan technology works. This has not been documented. They created this post the case I opened.

    I asked them if the first set of engineers who responded would not know this feature and their simple answer was, "maybe, not". That’s why I didn't write anything in the post here.

    I spend hours trying to see if I can detect anything (which wasn't there). Sigh. The reason I kept on trying was because their first set of engineers didn't know of the feature and also asked us to submit few files they found in their load point analysis log.

    Thanks to everyone who helped.

    Think of the positive side of things. you now have a complete toolkit to help you when you have a real problem thanks to all the links supplied by nihil. As to service engineers normally the first line of "engineers" are there to buy time till the big boys can have a look at the problem.

    Alright, I need some help with getting this server booted with live CD. Knoppix DVD is not working because server is not able to boot with a DVD (its a HP DL360 G2[http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...dTypeId=15351]) server. It uses Smart Array 5i Controller.

    Does anyone have any recommendation for which Live CD to be used? I have only used knoppix which works perfect. What else should I do? My purpose is to mount the HDD's and later the file system to get 2 files to analysis. We are looking at RAID 5 SCSI interface.


    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there ByTe,

    As far as I am aware, the Knoppix DVD just contains a whole lot of other open source/freeware, and the core functionality is still contained on a CD.

    http://www.knoppix.net/

    I also think that you can use a flash memory stick if your server will recognise one of those?

    It doens't recognise DVD drive.. Thats what the server management team said.. ~!~

    The next best thing is to grab a Ext. USB CD Drive - the HP bios will support the USB Optical Drive after a reboot - I like to keep one handy for those computers that do not have a CD Drive or it is broken.

    USB Boot Drives are OK too but sometimes can be fickle to get working, plus compare the time it takes to make a USB boot device to simply connecting the USB CD Drive and hitting reboot.

    You could also try to generate a windows FE live Cd. It is a bit limited on the tools you can put on it and I am only just starting to experiment so not sure just how usefull it will be. Still my first attempt at creating the boot CD did work on an Apple laptop. I used a windows 7 machine as the base but you can use a vista or windows 2003 server to make the iso also. You will also need to download the windows automatic installation kit.
