How to Reset A Kloxo Or LxAdmin Password From SSH

Kloxo is an another useful free control panel for web hosting management.

When your VPS is installed by us with lxadmin the password will be the same as what you asked for on setup.

If not try “admin”

Note: if you reinstall yourself it will also be “admin”

If you still can’t login:

Step 1 : Login via SSH server as root.

Step 2 : Execute the script.

cd /usr/local/lxlabs/kloxo/httpdocs

or

cd /usr/local/lxlabs/lxadmin/httpdocs

Step 3 : Restart Kloxo.

/usr/bin/lphp.exe ../bin/common/resetpassword.php master

Step 4 : Now try your password again.

If you still can’t get it to work, create a support ticket at Hostripples client area.

Simple way to protect SSH against or not protect against

SSH, Website

Cheap reseller Hosting


Protect SSh

SSH will protect against

Seven important steps to Secure Shell protects against (again, from the README)

Step 1) Eavesdropping of data transmitted over the network.

Step 2) Manipulation of data at intermediate elements in the hosts.

Step 3) IP address spoofing where an attack hosts pretends to be a trusted host by sending packets with the source address of the trusted host. Ssh even protects against a spoofer on the local network, who can pretend he is your router to the outside.

Step 4) DNS spoofing of trusted host names/IP addresses, where an attacker forges name server records

Step 5) IP source routing, where a host can pretend that an IP packet comes from another, trusted host.

Step 6) Interception of cleartext passwords and other data by intermediate hosts.

Step 7) Attacks based on listening to X authentication data and spoofed connection to the X11 server

 

SSH will not protect against

Secure Shell will not help you with anything that compromises your host’s security in some other way. Once an attacker has gained root access to a machine, he can then subvert ssh, too.

Step 1) Incorrect configuration or usages.

Step 2) A compromised root accounts.

Step 3) Insecure home directories: if an attacker can modify files in your home directory (e.g. via NFS) he may be able to fool SSH

ssh

The following series of events help protect the integrity of SSH communication.

SSH Connection Sequence

1) A cryptographic handshake is made with the server

2) The connection between client and remote server is encrypted using symmetric cipher

3) Client authenticates itself

4) Client can now interact safely with remote server over encrypted connection

How to Installation Linux Malware Detect (Maldet) On Linux

Linux malware, Malware

Cheap reseller Hosting


Linux Malware Detect (Maldet) :

Linux Malware Detect (LMD) is a malware scanner for Linux released under the GNU GPLv2 license, that is designed around the threats faced in shared hosted environments. It uses threat data from network edge intrusion detection systems to extract malware that is actively being used in attacks and generates signatures for detection.

Follow the steps below to install maldet on your server.

A) Install maldet on your server

1) SSH to your server
2) Download the tar file and install it.

cd /usr/local/src/ && wget http://www.rfxn.com/downloads/maldetect-current.tar.gz && tar -xzvf maldetect-current.tar.gz && cd maldetect-* && sh install.sh

This will automatically install a cronjob inside /etc/cron.daily/maldet so a daily scan will be run for local cPanel or Plesk accounts.

B) Update to the latest version and virus signatures:

maldet -d && maldet -u

C) Run the first scan manually

Launch a background scan for all user’s public_html and public_ftp in all home directories, run the following command:

maldet -b –scan-all /home?/?/public_?

D) Verify the scan report

1) List all scan reports time and SCANID:

maldet –report list

2) Show a specific report details :

maldet –report SCANID

3) Show all scan details from log file:

grep “{scan}” /usr/local/maldetect/event_log

E) Clean the malicious files

The quarantine is disabled. You will have to launch it manually.

maldet -q SCANID
