| schestowitz-pi2 | checking DB of TR | May 02 03:31 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | expect some downtime | May 02 03:31 |
| techrights[sec]_ | rouer maint eta 30 min | May 02 03:31 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | problem in nutshell: | May 02 03:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | some time between 6:00am and 14:30 (that we know of) http://techrights.org/2023/05/01/police-action-a-must/ started returning timeouts | May 02 03:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i never saw such an issue before | May 02 03:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | afaik, i did not edit the page since | May 02 03:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i can access the data ok at the back end | May 02 03:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | db dump worked ok (no error, sane size) | May 02 03:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | should i scan the tables? don't want to overcome this issue without understanding the cause | May 02 03:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | tested loads of other random pages, no errors seen | May 02 03:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | if it's a symptom of something, an opportunity? | May 02 03:42 |
| techrights[sec]_ | checking | May 02 03:44 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Interesting it seems the other links return slowly but do return, | May 02 03:44 |
| techrights[sec]_ | The one article is not responding. I am not familiar enough with | May 02 03:44 |
| techrights[sec]_ | WordPress to say why it gives a 503 error. | May 02 03:44 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Seems to apply to both HTTP and HTTPS | May 02 03:44 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | - for TR and TM, priority #1 is preserving old content, it's like one of these "LOOK AFTER YOUR HEALTH FIRST AND FOREMOST" things | May 02 03:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | - i don't mind spending some time studying this incident | May 02 03:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | - should we scan the tables regardless? been a while... | May 02 03:45 |
| techrights[sec]_ | The gemini edition is prsent | May 02 03:45 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Yes maybe scan the tables. | May 02 03:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | come to think of it, | May 02 03:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | after gardening | May 02 03:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | circa 8am | May 02 03:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | rianne read it OK | May 02 03:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so it was OK for the first 2 hours at least | May 02 03:47 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Ok I rememberd how to access the database but now have to remember how | May 02 03:56 |
| techrights[sec]_ | to do the integrity chec | May 02 03:56 |
| techrights[sec]_ | checks | May 02 03:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | disabling httpd | May 02 03:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | Active: inactive (dead) since Tue 2023-05-02 02:49:54 UTC; 5s ago | May 02 03:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | scanning DB | May 02 03:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | all TR DBs while at it... | May 02 03:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i can send you by email report later | May 02 03:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it's well overdue regardless | May 02 03:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | drupal ok | May 02 03:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | wiki ok | May 02 03:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | now doing wp, the biggest of the three | May 02 03:56 |
| techrights[sec]_ | https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/table-maintenance-statements.html | May 02 04:00 |
| techrights[sec]_ | May 02 04:04 | |
| techrights[sec]_ | checking tables one at a time ... | May 02 04:04 |
| techrights[sec]_ | check table wp_redirection_logs; is taking an inordinant amount of time to run | May 02 04:04 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | doing second scam | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | scan | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | first one found no issues | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it does a second pass | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | maybe it's wordpress confusing itself | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | better than a DB (underlying) problem | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and also assures me the DBs are still in good state | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | not done yet... | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | scanning TM (old) DBs as well | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | in a moment i'll bringh httpd back up | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | then try to sort it out inside wordpress | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | one way or another | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i have a recent DB dump just in case | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | all done! | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | all DBs good | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | re wp_redirection_i noticed the same | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | when checking | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and i suspect wordpress timed out due to that | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but why only that one page? | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it was like "10 pages ago"... | May 02 04:07 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | the empty bulletpoint here | May 02 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | is how I firts nopticed this issue | May 02 04:07 |
| techrights[sec]_ | that is a good question, as mentioned I am not familiar with wp | May 02 04:10 |
| techrights[sec]_ | 1 row in set (2 min 57.90 sec) | May 02 04:10 |
| techrights[sec]_ | table ok just really slow to respond | May 02 04:10 |
| techrights[sec]_ | wp_usermeta is also slow to respond | May 02 04:10 |
| techrights[sec]_ | but checks ok | May 02 04:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | troubleshooting log: | May 02 04:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | edit post, add space, re-save | May 02 04:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | still times out | May 02 04:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | from memory: never ever ever change existing slugs in wordpress | May 02 04:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | those tend to cause redirection tables for many posts to go apeshit | May 02 04:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but afaik, i did not change the slug | May 02 04:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | http://techrights.org/?p=172838 times out also | May 02 04:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but... it translates it into the url with the slug | May 02 04:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | don't want to fix this issue 'too fast' | May 02 04:13 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | for fear it might help the root cause evade sight | May 02 04:13 |
| techrights[sec]_ | I don't touch those | May 02 04:16 |
| techrights[sec]_ | which one was that p=172838 ? | May 02 04:16 |
| techrights[sec]_ | optimize table wp_redirection_logs; is taking a long time | May 02 04:16 |
| techrights[sec]_ | tryin | May 02 04:16 |
| techrights[sec]_ | It will take a long time though, not sure how long | May 02 04:16 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | try optimising it | May 02 04:17 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | we have a backup from half an hour ago | May 02 04:17 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | "logs" might mean it's not so crucial anyway | May 02 04:17 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i've temporarily stopped cron job for nightly DB dumps | May 02 04:17 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and won't change the DBs till you are done | May 02 04:18 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | Forgot to sent these yesterday, LOL!!!: | May 02 04:19 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | 3. irc nice and calm | May 02 04:19 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 4. rebooted some machines, better arranged now | May 02 04:19 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | none of the above was time-critical anyway, maybe that's why i forgot to send the batch | May 02 04:23 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | we can bypass the issue one way or another, but the concern is that it can happen again | May 02 04:23 |
| techrights[sec]_ | it just finished, "able does not support optimize, doing recreate + analyze instead" | May 02 04:28 |
| techrights[sec]_ | should we try that instead? | May 02 04:28 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | /etc/httpd | May 02 04:43 |
| techrights[sec]_ | what about the PHP scripts? httpd gets the requests but there is not a response | May 02 04:44 |
| techrights[sec]_ | from mysql, so I wonder if that particular URL is getting filtered in the PHP? | May 02 04:44 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | that same url worked ok 6am and 8am | May 02 04:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | based on irc logs, by 14:30 there was already an issue | May 02 04:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i did not change configs in that time frame | May 02 04:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i am still not fixing the issue because it would be good to know how it happened | May 02 04:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the microsoft mindset is, reboot and forget about it | May 02 04:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but i try to reject that | May 02 04:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as maybe we can end up with faster table lookups | May 02 04:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and make the site as a whole faster | May 02 04:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the php config files are universally a mess | May 02 04:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and scattered all over the place (every machine I ever worked on) | May 02 04:47 |

| techrights[sec]_ | that's why I ask about PHP | May 02 04:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | on) | May 02 04:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | what we know: | May 02 04:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | putting slug # translates OK to slug string | May 02 04:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the backend attampts to get that wordpress_posts table row | May 02 04:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it works OK in wordpress backend | May 02 04:51 |
| techrights[sec]_ | can you search for that specific post directly in the database? | May 02 04:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and the web gui can also update thgat record | May 02 04:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | in practice, the slug is converted into a number | May 02 04:52 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | this did work for hours | May 02 04:52 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the row was not altered in the time period it stopped working | May 02 04:52 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it stopped working between 8am to 2pm yesterday | May 02 04:52 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it looks like a timeout | May 02 04:52 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | yes, and you can too | May 02 04:55 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | if you go to "Posts" | May 02 04:55 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 'Edit' | May 02 04:55 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and press edit on that post | May 02 04:55 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | gonna check httpd logs | May 02 04:55 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | this is the first time it started serving 503 | May 02 04:56 |
| techrights[sec]_ | the httpd logs show 503 for now | May 02 04:58 |
| techrights[sec]_ | 01/May/2023:07:54:04 +0000 ok | May 02 04:58 |
| techrights[sec]_ | 01/May/2023:07:57:38 +0000 503 | May 02 04:58 |
| techrights[sec]_ | that's the approximate time span | May 02 04:58 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | maybe correlate with other logs? | May 02 05:03 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 8:07am you added irc logs | May 02 05:03 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 8:06 i added daily links draft | May 02 05:03 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | do you think there was tampering in that 7:57 request? | May 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the topic of the post was a *tad* sensitive, but i won't be getting paranoid over it | May 02 05:06 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | also, the same post in schestowitz.com works OK | May 02 05:06 |
| techrights[sec]_ | huge flurry of ssh attacks at that time interval | May 02 05:07 |
| techrights[sec]_ | I would not rule out tampering | May 02 05:07 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | how huge was it compared to other hours? | May 02 05:11 |
| techrights[sec]_ | not that much bigger | May 02 05:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | but big | May 02 05:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | there is a lack of filtering in that regard on tm-old and that is another | May 02 05:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | reason on the long list of reasons to migrate (TM needs to be finished first) | May 02 05:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | the systemd logs are a noisy, useless, irrelevant pile of vague crap | May 02 05:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | what to do next? | May 02 05:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | fix the issue? | May 02 05:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | report the issue? | May 02 05:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | fix and repost findings? | May 02 05:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | *report | May 02 05:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | talked to rianne, better approach | May 02 05:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | repostthe post | May 02 05:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but precede with report on what happened | May 02 05:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | not accusing anyone, just giving knownj facts | May 02 05:22 |
| techrights[sec]_ | report to whom? kaniini does not do wordpress, I know nothing about forensics | May 02 05:22 |
| techrights[sec]_ | why make those details public? probably better to just repost | May 02 05:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | discussing with rianne | May 02 05:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | no details given, just short summary of what happened | May 02 05:22 |
| techrights[sec]_ | ok | May 02 05:23 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | ok, weird. | May 02 05:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so i make a new post | May 02 05:43 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | open the latest draft | May 02 06:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | preview | May 02 06:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | better keep an eye on ssh logs | May 02 06:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i see very suspicious stuff | May 02 06:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | any attempt to <img something schestowitz.com /> | May 02 06:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | mean i cannot preview | May 02 06:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | testing old posts that link to schestowitz.com as img | May 02 06:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | my pc just froze | May 02 06:10 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | had to go to tty2 | May 02 06:10 |
| techrights[sec]_ | checking | May 02 06:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | the quotes in the one draft are just chatter and not necessarily useful or | May 02 06:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | appropriate | May 02 06:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | which item in the ssh log do you consider to be most suspect? | May 02 06:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | The editor's note is does not add value to the post and contains work chatter | May 02 06:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | which should not be published as such | May 02 06:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | the only odd thing arond taht time was that someone logged in for 3 seconds | May 02 06:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | from your IP address | May 02 06:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | May 1 08:00:03 - May 1 08:00:06 and again later but that might be cron job? | May 02 06:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | guessing from the timing | May 02 06:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | The chatter can be removed entirely and replaced with a statemt about the cause\ | May 02 06:14 |
| techrights[sec]_ | being unknown. the amount of time spent only shows that we don't necessarily | May 02 06:15 |
| techrights[sec]_ | know what we are doing or even looking for :/ | May 02 06:15 |
| techrights[sec]_ | The above SSH seems to be cron since it occurs regularly and for ~ 3 seconds each time | May 02 06:15 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i am going to rephrase | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but first trying to narrow down the patterns | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the ssh thing might be rsync of irc logs from bubi | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | tests show that any attempts to add image from schestowitz.com fail | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | even in new posts | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | can be saved, but preview/view would fail | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | that worked ok till 8 am yesterday | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i did not publish that other thing | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it was tentative | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as i still narrow down the cause | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it's not db it seems | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | maybe wordpress prevents access if string matched | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | http://techrights.org/2022/12/02/leaving-sirius/ also failing | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it has in it <img src="http://sches ... | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so i start wondering if 1.5 hours after that post wordpress got trojaned | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | ----------------------------------------------= lars@localhost =------------------ | May 02 06:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | every old TR post that displays image from schestowitz,com, http or httpd | May 02 06:35 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | cannot be opened | May 02 06:35 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | trying other domains | May 02 06:35 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | wait, maybe you are right | May 02 06:35 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but... | May 02 06:35 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | can blocking of hotlinking result in pages not even rendering at all? | May 02 06:35 |
| techrights[sec]_ | hotlinking is not a good idea in general, as mentioned a while back | May 02 06:36 |
| techrights[sec]_ | grep schestowitz.com /var/log/httpd/techrights.org-access_log | May 02 06:36 |
| techrights[sec]_ | I would not rule out tampering yet but am ignorant about word press | May 02 06:36 |
| techrights[sec]_ | and so would not put *any* weight for or against that possibility | May 02 06:36 |
| techrights[sec]_ | So is the schestowitz.com site no longer allowing hotlinking? | May 02 06:36 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Or is the hotlinking failing on TR's end? | May 02 06:36 |
| techrights[sec]_ | no packages have been updated wit Yum since Feb | May 02 06:36 |
| techrights[sec]_ | what about PHP modules for WordPress? | May 02 06:36 |
| techrights[sec]_ | I'm not sure how WordPress handles hotlinking | May 02 06:41 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Did a WordPress update kick in around that time? | May 02 06:41 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | one possibility is that wordpress parses hotlinked images | May 02 06:44 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and that the remote server throws a weird (banned) respons at it | May 02 06:44 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | causing it to hang | May 02 06:44 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | let me contact my webhost | May 02 06:44 |
| techrights[sec]_ | ok | May 02 06:44 |
| techrights[sec]_ | biab | May 02 06:44 |
| schestowitz | removing this part: | May 02 06:46 |
| schestowitz | However, one person reports a "huge flurry of ssh attacks at that time interval" (between the time the post was accessed successfully and the time it always, consistently failed). "I would not rule out tampering," the person noted. Either way, we are reposting the original afresh today. | May 02 06:46 |
| schestowitz | will check with webhost | May 02 06:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | Good morning, I'm Roy (schestow on blueberry, schestowitz.com), spent about 4 hours this morning trying to pin down an issue in my other site techrights.org. Botton line is, this domain has been blocked recently by schestowitz.com or maybe catalyst2 at large, causing a number of issues. schestowitz.com should whitelist the fixed IP address of that address. | May 02 08:27 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | What is the nature of your query? | May 02 08:27 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | No problem, hold on whilst we get one of the team to assist you. | May 02 08:27 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | Hello | May 02 08:27 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | What's the IP address of the server you believe is being blocked by Blueberry server? | May 02 08:27 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | PING techrights.org (23.161.112.116) 56(84) bytes of data. | May 02 08:27 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 64 bytes from techrights.org (23.161.112.116): icmp_seq=1 ttl=51 time=140 ms | May 02 08:27 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | This happened also weeks ago, but the ban expired and resumed around 8am yesterday. There is interaction between the two servers, which means things can break if there is a barrier. | May 02 08:27 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | I have unblocked and whitelisted that IP address now. Is that a static IP address? | May 02 08:27 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | It might change in the more distant future, so if whitelisting by domain is possible, it might reduce support burden. | May 02 08:27 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | Sometimes our home (residence) IP also gets blocked, it's always mapped to gemini.techrights.org (dynamic) so that too ought to be whitelisted. | May 02 08:27 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | We can only whitelist by IP address, which I have already done. I have also disabled the security rule that was responsible for blocking 23.161.112.116 | May 02 08:27 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | See how it goes, and pop back if you run into any other snags on this | May 02 08:27 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | sure, sounds great | May 02 08:28 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | thanks for the quick fix, it solved all the issues | May 02 08:28 |
| techrights[sec]_ | back | May 02 08:33 |
| techrights[sec]_ | ok great | May 02 08:33 |
| techrights[sec]_ | so there was interference ;) | May 02 08:33 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | best possible outcomed | May 02 08:33 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 1) we tested ALL the DBs (i wanted to do it weeks ago) | May 02 08:33 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 2) we learned something new | May 02 08:33 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 3) no incident at all | May 02 08:33 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 4) the irc bot in irc won't struggle with this domain (issue on and offl lately) | May 02 08:33 |

| techrights[sec]_ | Ok good | May 02 08:43 |
| techrights[sec]_ | The static site generator for TM does its best to prevent hotlinking from | May 02 08:43 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | i find a 'vuln' in TM | May 02 08:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | you can still hotlink | May 02 08:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | by encoding the <img with other chars | May 02 08:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it happened by accident | May 02 08:45 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | <techrights-news> So the gulag/google hey hi man did not quit because omg omg omg, imho, but because fad fad fad; all this hype won't end well. for similarity, see metaverse metaverse metaverse; never build a comp[any on a foundation of hype, fluff, and buzzwords. Azure and AWS are collapsing not due to "optimisation" but decreasing interest. Because know better, study facts (bad experience), not brochures/marketing. | May 02 09:29 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | <techrights-news> In 2022 tuxmachines/techrights had better uptime than AWS, Clownflare etc. Clown does not mean improved uptime or "someone else's problem"; when that someone else has downtime it is _still_ your problem (site down, services down etc.).
