Grant FullAccess to regular Active Directory user in Exchange 2010
In Exchange 2010 I needed to add a non mail-enabled user to use a shared mailbox. (Although technically it wasn’t a shared mailbox but a users mailbox in Exchange terminology) Add when I tried to grant the user Full Access Permissions I could only see Mail-Enabled users.
This required me to use the Powershell Command:
Add-MailBoxPermission reception@localdomain.com -User:'CN=Full Name,OU=Users,OU=City,DC=localdomain,DC=com -AccessRights FullAccess
What is interesting is that after performing the above, other non-mail enabled users could be added via the GUI afterwards….
Crack SHA512crypt ($6$) with John the Ripper with Native OpenMPI multi-threading
JtR now natively supports multi-threading through the OpenMPI interface. All the code is right there in the jumbo version of JtR all you need to do is install OpenMPI and un comment the lines of code in the makefile. Now you can crack SHA512crypt passwords with all cores.
Alright lets get started:
yum install openmpi wget http://www.openwall.com/john/g/john-1.7.9-jumbo-6.tar.gz tar -zxvf john-1.7.9-jumbo-6.tar.gz cd john-1.7.9-jumbo-6/src
Now we need to edit Makefile and uncomment the ‘OpenMP’ lines.
vi Makefile
and uncomment the following line as per below:
OMPFLAGS =
# gcc with OpenMP
#OMPFLAGS = -fopenmp
OMPFLAGS = -fopenmp -msse2
# Sun Studio with OpenMP (set the OMP_NUM_THREADS env var at runtime)
#OMPFLAGS = -xopenmp
# icc with OpenMP (for make target linux-x86-64-icc)
#ICCOMPFLAGS = -openmp
now compile and run as per normal noticing that you now have 100% cpu usage!
Delete certain messages from Postfix Queue
Ever had some alerting software spam your production mail queue with 1000’s of alerts?
And you dont want to delete every message individually…
Here is the solution to delete all messages destined for user@example.com:
mailq | tail -n +2 | grep -v '^ *(' |
gawk 'BEGIN {RS = ""} /user@example.com/ {print $1}' |
tr -d '*!' | postsuper -d -
Thanks to http://www.keithscode.com for that one!
Samhain - POLICY NODIRECTORY explained
This was a tricky one. I kept getting alerts for:
-----BEGIN MESSAGE----- [2012-07-09T23:40:37+1000] server8.somedomain.com CRIT : [2012-07-09T23:40:34+1000] msg=<POLICY NODIRECTORY>, path=</var/log> -----BEGIN SIGNATURE----- EA6AB852FD5E03118A95B8507E514F264CCFE3CC35E3330F 000154 1340761939::server8.somedomain.com -----END MESSAGE-----
And for the life of me wasn’t sure why but after reading the source code the cause is explained:
{ MSG_FI_NODIR, N_("File found where directory was expected"), IDMEF_IMPACT_TYPE_FILE },
And you know what it was correct! /var/log was a softlink to /data/logs!
