I've been adding an extra check in my local version of /etc/security for quite
some time now. All it does is use 'netstat' to grab a list of the listening
tcp and udp ports of my machine and save it to /var/log/netstat.today
(and /var/log/netstat.yesterday). This way, when some service starts
and listens on a new port the next run of /etc/security will log the
fact in the usual stuff sent to root by mail. I tested this running
/etc/periodic/daily/450.security twice, and running a local IRC daemon between
the two runs. The output that is added to the message root receives looks
like the following:
hades.hell.gr changes in listening ports:
4a5,6
> tcp4 0 0 *.6667 *.* LISTEN
> tcp4 0 0 *.7325 *.* LISTEN
7a10
> udp4 0 0 *.* *.*
10a14
> udp4 0 0 *.7007 *.*
Does the attached patch below seem interesting to anyone else, too?
Should I send-pr it, or just keep merging it with my own security checks,
and leave things as they are?
