RE: SSH Bruteforce blocking script

Hmm even that is no good.

I would also suggest chown root.root ${TMP_FILE} in there too after chmod. In case a user
is attempting to insert a change during the tiny window in which the file is about to be clobbered.

Sorry for wasting bandwidth but for the sake of correctness, I think it's the right thing to do.

Cheers, Mike.

Ok, well spotted. Something for me to fix there.

Here you go, add these lines to the script just after the touch:

chmod 700 ${TMP_FILE}
> ${TMP_FILE}

My apologies, that is a no-no and something I should have spotted.

I originally thought about doing this with arrays in memory. I might go back to that later.

Thanks for your input.

Cheers, Mike.

Well, we apreciate your script although I would preffer to stay with my nice bruteforcing attempts than to create an insecure temporary file bug:

ergosum_at_sparta:~$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh

SCRIPT_NAME=$(basename $0)
TMP_FILE="/tmp/${SCRIPT_NAME}.$$"

touch ${TMP_FILE}
echo "pwn3d" > ${TMP_FILE}
exit
ergosum_at_sparta:~$ cat data
pr0n g0ld collection: ....

ergosum_at_sparta:~$ ln -s /home/ergosum/data /tmp/test.sh.18359 ergosum_at_sparta:~$ ln -s /home/ergosum/data /tmp/test.sh.18361 ergosum_at_sparta:~$ ln -s /home/ergosum/data /tmp/test.sh.18362 ergosum_at_sparta:~$ ./test.sh ergosum_at_sparta:~$ cat data pwn3d
