I have been consistantly pinged by BLACKHOLE-1.IANA.ORG from
ANONYMOUS and mail.brianbinder.com. A tad annoying when mine is a
static commercial account.
Odd that they could ping me from 10.1.10.1 which is the same address
as my new modem/router. They also tried to connect to port 137.
I had to use the internal firewall to block all the connections they
use. Now I can't access my modem/router from this PC. A never ending
battle. :)
I thought you had a static IP now, not some 10.x.x.x crap? Or is
the static IP on the WAN side of the router? If so, no 10.x.x.x
traffic should be coming in to your network (the router should
be able to stop it and the ISP shouldn't be routing it to you in
the first place).
Anyway, block ports 135-139 and 445 at the router. All virus
stuff.
I have everything blocked except port 25 which is forwarded.
I have a static IP. The new modem is a combination modem/router. You are
correct, the static IP is on the WAN side. I have 4 other computers
connected to it. 1 laptop by wireless so I have a wireless router
plugged in to one of the ports. The 3 others are direct connected to the
router. The re-mailer has a fixed IP while I let the other 2 receive
their addesses by DHCP. The wireless laptop receives a 192.168.0.2
address from the
wireless router. The others all have 10.1.10.xxx IPs.
To access the router, I have to type in 10.1.10.1 which brings up the
login page for the router. The re-mailer PC is at a fixed IP of
10.1.10.xxx. (in case they read this, they'll have to guess what xxx
is) The router itself has a built in firewall which I enabled. Then each
computer has a McAffee virus/securitycenter/firewall combination on it.
The only one that gets pinged is this one, the re-mailer. Things slowed
down since I blocked everything including the router. I am surprised it
still works at all.
I just don't know how I can get pinged or whatever from the same address
as my router. I thought a real Domain IP should show up. Again, I am far
from the expert so would really like to know how this can be done. Seems
pretty tricky. I just don't like the name Blackhole. Gives me the
shudders. I sure know what a "blacklist" is and blackhole and blacklist
are somewhat
synonymous.
I picked out 3 out of about 12.
Here they are.
2005/10/15 10:06:26 10.1.10.1:0 (mail.brianbinder.com) 10.1.10.200:0
ICMP Ping
2005/10/15 10:12:35 10.1.10.1:0 (mail.brianbinder.com) 10.1.10.200:0
ICMP Ping
2005/10/15 16:26:11 10.1.10.95:68 (ANONYMOUS) 255.255.255.255:67
Bootstrap Protocol Server
ICMP type 0 is ping reply (pong) isn't it? Sure you're not
pinging or tracerouting mail.brainbinder.com at the time?
All traceroutes come back to this:
Maybe this is all OK and they just happened to pick bad names for their
servers. Blackhole? Yuuch!!!
Sender ANONYMOUS? Why not a real name?
Because 10.1.10.95 doesn't have a valid reverse DNS record.
Which it won't, because it's not on the internet. Unless you set
one up locally.
Reminds me of Carnivore. Some stealth project :) A bad pick for a name

The part that disturbs me is from their own website. It says:
Special-Use Addresses
Several address ranges are reserved for "Special Use". These addresses
all have restrictions of some sort placed on their use, and in general
should not appear in normal use on the public Internet. The following
briefly documents these addresses – in general they are used in
specialized
technical contexts. They are described in more detail in RFC 3330.
"Private Use" IP addresses:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
The above address blocks are reserved for use on private networks, and
should never appear in the public Internet. There are hundreds of
thousands
That's right.
You're not being pinged or attacked from outside your network.
Don't worry about the name blackhole - that's been assigned by
IANA!
So, in the end, am I getting spoofed by a hacker, or by my own
cablemodem/router?
If it's a spoof (and I very much doubt it), the reply isn't
going anywhere. Besides which, your router shouldn't be routing
those addresses inbound so it's almost certainly coming from
within your network.
Just checked the firewall again. You are right. I shut down all the other
computers except my main and the re-mailer. I just checked the firewall and
was pinged just a little while ago from 10.1.10.95.
The mail.brianbinder.com might be built into the modem router. I just
checked and the 10.1.10.95 is the IP of my main computer.
As I mentioned before, I gave this PC a different workgroup name to keep it
separated from the rest of the network. Maybe the main computer can see
another computer on the network and is trying to connect.
Looks like I am chasing my tail. Whew!!!!!!! Thank you so very much.
That is a great relief. Paranoia, the stuff re-mailers were made for :)
My Warmest Regards and Thanks, you can't imagine what a relief it is. I
hope you can understand why I worry so much about this PC since it is a
re-mailer.
I feel much better being being safe than sorry. Obviously if I knew more, I
wouldn't have gotten so nervous.
I freely admit I am a noobie, so anything that seems out of place gets my
attention.
Operating a re-mailer is a great learning experience. It makes you question
everything related to the security of the system. I know others are
trusting me to operate a secure system and I don't take that trust lightly.
Again, thank you for taking the time to clarify this for me.
My Most Sincere and Warmest Regards to You,
Twisty Admin

Is it possible to specify the Tor exit node and if so, how?
I have read all the documentation on the Tor site and there is either
no mention of it or I am as blind as a bat.
It's probably a bad idea in general, and I've never tried it but...
According to the man page there's two torrc settings that should make this
possible:
ExitNodes nickname,nickname,...
A list of preferred nodes to use for the last hop in the circuit, if
possible.
StrictExitNodes 0|1
If 1, Tor will never use any nodes besides those listed in "exitnodes"
for the last hop of a circuit.
Note that Tor can also provide a real time "control" interface. It's
possible to configure Tor on the fly through this interface once it's
configured ('ControlPort' setting in torrc). At the very least, you could
tenet to this controlPort and set 'ExitNodes' and 'StrictExitNodes' as you
like. There may even be a simpler way, or another command to build custom
circuits.
I believe there's also some example code and/or a basic Tor control client
out there somewhere. In Python if memory serves...??

Yes I am just mentioning that
