• MysticBBS on NAS (NFS or iSCSI)

    From Alisha Stutz@2:301/1 to All on Fri Oct 28 10:02:00 2022

    Hello everybody!

    Is there actually anything to consider when I have MysticBBS mounted on a remote storage NAS (NFS or iSCSI) on my Linux? Regarding semaphore integration or customizations that this works without problems?

    Best regards

    I ran my Mystic home on an SMB share for quite some time, and it seemed to work well. If you have trashcan functionality/recycled folders enabled on your share in one way or another, log changes, message base updates (and associated relinking) might yield lots of copies of old files, but other than that, I think it should work just fine.

    I still have my message bases and file bases on an SMB share, but let the Mystic home (including logs) reside on local disk now.

    Best regards

    Hello Alisha, i have all mystic folders and datas on my NAS connected throught NFS and all work fine, semaphore also... I don't know why but semaphores are recognized and start the incoming and toss procedures.
    Maybe they don't use inotify?

    This is just ME, as Mystic is safe - but I wouldn't wanna run any service that has users connecting to it from such a secure machine. If some user did get in, a NAS seems like the last thing I'd want them to have any access to. Sure, I know a smart sysOp can protect - but I'd much rather have my bbS on a Raspberry Pi, old computer that only runs it - or something less important. :P

    Yeah, I have similar concerns with a BBS :) I run mine in a cloud VPS for this specific reason.

    I'm pretty opposed to the idea of opening up my home firewall. Even if I had some kind of BBS VLAN, it would still be me allowing external connections into my home, which is simply something I am not a fan of.

    I agree with Paulie here, that is why I run all of my BBS' in seperate VM's All on their own separate VLan which can not access my main Lan but my main Lan can access the VLan. If you want to put it on a NAS, I suggest using a VM to do so, I know Synology offers Virtual Machine support, or Docker. This way you can access your BBS' via your NAS but the BBS will not be accessing your NAS, I used to store my Message Bases, and File Bases on my NAS I still have my File bases on it. Only thing is i Idon't give it anything else but a shared directory..

    Ahh, thats a decent idea if they really wanna use that NAS machine. Throw it in a docker and lock it up... or a VM as you said. Good ideas..

    Thanks bud.. My son who is a security minded guy has been complaining to me that I have these ports open to the public, when I said they are BBS' his answer was yea so?!? So when I got my Ubiquiti Dream Router I decided to do things right and create a separate VLAN for all of my BBS'.. He has been pushing me more and more towards learning Docker (I know it is easy to understand) to just containerize everything and keep it as you say locked away, but my set up is I have a computer which runs all of the VM's in Proxmox, then backs up to an Xpenology NAS,which is also on the same VLAN as the BBS machine. Everything is away from my main lan.. Ohwell..

    Docker isn't a panacea for security, just keep in mind that if your user is part of the 'docker' group, it's possible to break out of the docker container and do things as root.

    In other words, make sure it's configured in a secure manner, don't just assume it's safe :)

    Howdy,

    Docker isn't a panacea for security, just keep in mind that if your user is part of the 'docker' group, it's possible to break out of the docker container and do things as root.

    I see and hear many people think "docker" = "not secure" - primarily because of the lack of understanding of this docker group.

    For clarity:
    https://docs.docker.com/engine/security

    Is a must read for anybody concerned (or doesnt understand) docker security.

    Like anything deployed on a publically network connected system, you should understand the security around what you are deploying before trusting it implicitly.

    That said, I've been primarily using docker for many years now, on many systems, and I've never been compromised. In fact, I think the last time I was compromised (probably 10+ years ago now) I concluded that they got in via a vulnerability in SSH (that machine only had ssh and nginx on it).

    I see and hear many people think "docker" = "not secure" - primarily because of the lack of understanding of this docker group.

    Per docker's own documentation:

    "Warning: The docker group grants privileges equivalent to the root user. For details on how this impacts security in your system, see Docker Daemon Attack Surface."

    Docker containers also share the same kernel as the host as well as a number of other resources. So yes, it's containerized, but not like...qemu, for example.

    Anyway Docker is a very common attack surface due to how widespread it is. When doing pentests it has always been one of the initial details to enumerate. *shrug*

    I think the confusion is people hear "container" and they think everything becomes completely isolated, which is not the case.

    Like anything deployed on a publically network connected system, you should understand the security around what you are deploying before trusting it implicitly.

    Agreed! I don't think a lot of people do this, though. :(

    I was compromised (probably 10+ years ago now) I concluded that they got in via a vulnerability in SSH (that machine only had ssh and nginx on
    it).

    Nice. I was compromised a number of years ago because of php. Go figure. :/

    IMO the vlan is super important for sysOps; I think every sysOp should be running their own router w/ software that sandboxes the board... I bet less than half (guess) do so the correct way - I didn't have a PfSense for a couple years w/ 2o.... oops.

    Yeah, I run Mystic on a Pi4, as well as hosting a website for the bbs.. That's all it does.

    And for some reason, i can't configure ssh, or can't get it as a login to Mystic, despite everyting as far as I know is loaded correctly.

    Make sure you have the correct cryptlib installed, When I moved my BBS from Windows to Linux I lost SSH connections, AND lost email sending for password resets and access upgrades. I found a post on the Fido Mystic Echo where Alysha (can't remember her last name) came up with a fix to assembling it. I will look for it and post it here. 3.x.6 does not work and 3.x.4 does not work either. It must be the 3.x.5 I can't remember the version number thus the x in the numbers. I will post what I find here so fsxNet folk can use the fix..

    This fix will give you SSH and fix the gmail send mail routines..

    Did you install cryptlib, per the Mystic Wiki?

    And, are you running Mystic as root or another user? non-root users can't bind to ports at times; one of the reasons my SSH is on port 1338.

    I never had Mystic on Windows, as I can't stand Windows.. anyway, Cryptlib is the problem I am having with Mystic, I tried doing the compiled one and
    tting it in /usr/lib. When I say compiled one, i mean the already compiled one available, libcl.so that doesn't work, tried comipling it with "make

    Ok here is the fix from Alysha.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install build-essential
    sudo apt-get install gcc-9 g++-9
    sudo apt-get install zip unzip
    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-9 9
    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-9 9
    wget http://www.mysticbbs.com/downloads/cl345.zip
    mkdir cl345
    cd cl345
    unzip -ax ../cl345.zip
    sudo make shared
    sudo mv libcl.so.3.4.5 /usr/lib/libcl.so
    sudo rm /mystic/data/ssl.cert
    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-11 11
    sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-11 11 reboot the system

    Follow these instructions and cryptlib 3.4.5 will work perfect...

    I posted an answer before I saw this, I will give it a shot when I log out of here.

    It's a lot of extra work to get it to compile like someone else said changing the builder is not the way to go about it but for me it worked. 3.4.6 compiles perfectly with the latest build tools, 3.4.5 doesn't, there was another post around which changed a couple of lines to something else and it built, but SSL support was no good as the sending a password reset email via gmail did not work. Good luck and let us know how it goes...

    Ok, I got it running.... SSH, here was my problem all along.. I would download the cryptlib zip file, and unzip it with the graphical interface, when I should have been using Terminal and "unzip -a "... Compiled with Sudo make shared and it ran fine. Go figure...
