Another failed install attempt

I have been unsucessful at installing Flash Player's most recient version for the longest time. Each time I try, I get the same message that it has failed to initialize. I thought it may have been a firefox problem so I attempted with IE and still got the same problem. I have looked around at the site and I guess I'm not computer savy enough to do this. I think I may need some hand holding to walk me through what is wrong and how to fix it.

To send a mail for failed login attempts,.

We have to implement the mailing system in linux.,to send the mail regarding failed login attempts and ip address of user who attempted the failed login.,any one have the idea on this?
Regards.,
Vaaru

Running an old beta version of RHEL is a bad idea. If you are concerned about security and operation of your OS I suggest to use a more recent release version. You can download, install and use Oracle Linux for free.
Mail processing of failed login attempts is not a good idea and to my knowledge there is no such built-in system setting. I suggest you read the standard documentation or search the Web for information on how to set up a mail system. You will probably need to create a custom script to process failed login attempts.

There have been 7,039 failed login attempts in the last 30 minutes

Hi,
I am trying to find out the cause for an OEM alert we received:
There have been 7,039 failed login attempts in the last 30 minutesThe cause is ofcourse known, but I can't find out why the application anyway was able to do 7000+ login attempts within half an hour. The account should have locked after 10 attempts
The perticular account has a DEFAULT profile.
Auditing is on, so if we look into DBA_AUDIT_SESSION it is clearly seen that within 1 minute approx 1200 failed login attempts occured without the account being locked.

The above login attempts come from three application server of which I don't know how they handle failed logins.
Can anyone point me into a search direction as to why the account didn't lock. Just for completeness some extra info about the account and the DEFAULT profile:
User is created with:

Thanks

Edit: For the record, after I discovered the above I changed the DEFAULT profile, so the account would not unlock itself anymore. If this problem will occur in the future, maybe we can get more info as the account - if it gets locked- should stay locked now:

I cann't say that resource_limit is not TRUE, because you are saying "If we retry the login with a incorrect password manually from SQLplus, after 10 login attempts the account gets locked as expected.", so it means profile is working for the "KRAMPV" user.
The interesting thing is USERHOST is changing, so another option is the listener log should also have information about the failed connection attempts.
My another guess is duplicate user in the database i.e. one is KRAMPV and another is "krampv" (with quotation mark). Just check in dba_users that is there something like exists or not.....
select upper(username),count(*) from dba_users group by upper(username) having count(*) > 1;
Regards
Girish SharmaHi Girish,
resource_limit is set to FALSE.
And we've tested the locking with another user, because KRAMPV is used by the application that is running and we didn't want to risk that it got locked
USERHOST is not changing, there are 4 hosts ( application servers ) doing the same thing, so connection requests are coming from 4 hosts concurrently.
There is luckily no duplicate user.
Thanks anyway, we will keep investigating. I also sent the information to the application provider.
Bye

Current progress in fixing 10.4.6 failed install

I'm now making some progress in understanding the failiure, however it's leaving me with some BIG questions as to the checks apple put in.
This still hasn't fully worked for me! This is also an abbreviated account, please don't try unless your familiar with a shell prompt! Once I know what's going on better, I'll expand.
I've so far done the following (appologies for any typos, I7m typing on a tiny pda keyboard).
booted from dvd
opened a terminal.
noted chroot /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/ /bin/bash seg faults
created a dir fakesys at the root of the hd
copied /var /bin /sbin and /usr from the dvd dir into fakesys
made a tmp dir there
copied the pkg dir for the upgrade which had been moved out of trash just before I rebooted to the fakesys dir as well as stuff like gunzip from /usr/bin on the hd.
chrooted to fakesys running bash
gunziped the Archive.pax.gz
made a subdir, and from it pax -r -f ../Archives.pax
backed up the /usr/lib from the hd (using tar cf - * | tar xf - - C <dest> to preserve links perms etc ... no man pages so couldn't look up the cp switches to do that! . Backed up kernel too
did the same tar trick to install all updates from root
noted a few files were a lot smaller, such as libMath something, libobjc and the kernel...
tried chroot, diffferent error, about math lib. put in old,and chroot worked!
rebooted... no joy... back to dvd, replace old kernel
rebooted... (watching in verbose mode)... system got some way, than auto rebooted as per upgrade! (excitment rose!)
as comming up again, lots of errors about libobjc.. booted from cd and replaced.
tried again in verbose mode.
looked good but then Firewall.app failed. after that I got lots of memberd couldn't find root users. Now on further reboots it panics with the kernel straight away.
I'll keep on digging, and will update this thread as I discover more. I think the problem maybe the library files i had to roll back, as the dmesg command still seg faults in the chrooted environment

Where did you obtain this? If the install failed,
isn't it possible or even likely that the file was
damaged at that point & the truncation is a result of
that? I'm no expert, but the man page for pax says
something about it only partially extracting files if
one is terminated by errors. Additionally, there is a
cryptic man entry under "bugs" about pax not
recognizing multibyte characters, which may be a part
of it.
Also, in another thread, you mention terminal was
open at the time of the install. Were you doing
anything that could have caused the install to fail?
Terminal was open (I normally have it open for ssh/scp to other machines), but wasn't running anything except bash.
As I said, I obtained the file via Software Update, left it downloading to install then went to work. When I returned I had a message the install had failed, and the pkg was in the recycle bin. The machine would not run anything from this point, and even shutdown failed. Is it likely that a failed install would truncate the file? I really can't see why. Why would you write to an archive file in an install situation? Anyway, as I said, I can't say much on pax archives, but the archive was compressed. If you have a hard time understanding my confusion, try the following experiment. take a copy of one of your files, then do the following with a reasonable large file (split by default splits after 1000 lines):
% gzip <file>
% split <file>.gz
% mv xaa xaa.gz
% gunzip xaa.gz
Split will create several files (slipting your compressed file). You'll see unziping a truncated file produces an error.
Now it is quite possible that the install uses something like gzcat, which only produces errors at the end, such as "gzcat Archive.pax.gz | pax -r" the thing is, running gunzip Archive.pax.gz on the file SU downloaded produced no errors, so that's what confuses me. At any rate, it is best practice to checksum patch archives before running, and apple clearly don't do this, which is incredibly poor. I'm really not sure why there are a large number of people on this forum who find it so hard to believe that apple can do no wrong, and that every fault must be that of the user. Apple are not perfect, far from it. This is beginig to tire me. I found a solution when everyone else seemed to be saying use another mac, or re-install. I looked into what happened, and found the update the su had downloaded to be corrupt. I came up with a fix and shared. I think apple should look into this, and take feedback on several issues I've raised (and I'm sure others who found what I did would comment on too). If you want to insist it's not an apple problem, that's your perogative. I'd be the first to admit that I don't know much about macs (and didn't have much nice to say about them pre-osx), however, I do have a lot of experience with unix, and that's what I'm basing my comments on, and what I used to fix my mac.Anyway, enough ranting I need sleep.

Failed install now won't ever install properly

I attempted to install Firefox before, but the network security settings at the time never let me complete that install - it got stopped at the point where it had to reboot to finish.
Now it is caught in an endless loop of wanting to restart Windows all the time, but never completes. The security settings were changed to allow me to install, but now when I download and restart the download, or even when I go to the programs menu and attempt to UNINSTALL the program, it just goes back to the damn popup about needing to restart to complete the original install!!! How in the hell do I get rid of the old one? The folder was deleted from the PROGRAM FILES, but STILL gives me this crap!

Not really solved, but I figured out a work-around. I went to "custom" and installed it to a folder on my desktop, then moved it to my program files. However, I still have the rebooting link in my Start menu, and I can't uninstall the new one even -- goes back to the same garbage as above!
There is obviously some remnant of the old, failed install in the system that is screwing with things, but I don't know where/what!

Can't find routing connectors as shell won't find exchange server after failed install

I am trying to uninstall exchange 2010 after a failed install. When attempting to remove the Hub role I get an error that the computer is configured as a bridgehead server for 2 routing groups. I have seen how to find and remove them through the cmd shell,
however, due to the failed install (and the other bridgehead having a huge raid failure and being bricked) I can't locate the connection through the exchange shell. Any ideas on how to delete this connection so I can uninstall 2010 in order to re-install it.

Hi,
Can you set the Exchange 2003 server as the bridge head then try uninstalling the Exchange 2010 server again.
Thanks,

I cant remember my "Reset All Settings" Password and i tried putting all the passwords i remember and it says "9 failed Passcode Attempts" and then it says "Try again in 60 minutes "

i tried putting all the passwords i remember and it says "9 failed Passcode Attempts" and then it says "Try again in 60 minutes "
Can Somebody Please Help Me.?

The passcode for Reset All Settings is the same one used to unlock the phone. How have you managed to unlock it without encountering this???
If you can't remember your passcode, restore the phone in iTunes using the same computer it was last synced with. If you try to use another computer, you will be asked for the passcode and your only choice is to force recovery mode.

10 failed passcode attempts

I Have 10 failed passcode attempts. What will happen if i enter it wrong once again? As far as i recall, i had not selected the 'erase all data' option. Please help me.

Well, due to forgotten passcode device needs to be restored and setup as a new device. Suppose that you've backup, do not install it since, backup also including passwords.
If you ve iCloud account signed in device, check your contacts on icloud.com see if it's synced or not.
Besides, you can try to import photos/videos manually to PC if you connect device to PC before and tap on trust before. Otherwise, you can view the content before unlocking screen.

There is a 2900 series router Version 15.0(1)M1, in our company, recently the logs show that there were over 700 failed login attempts to try and gain privelege level 15 access. Is there a way to see the source IP from the host that is attempting the logins?

Sounds like your phone was hacked to use with your carrier. Updating it has relocked the phone to it's original carrier. You will not get the phone working again without a SIM from the original carrier.

Anyone know's how to make isight camera take snapshot for failed login attempts ?

I want my macbook pro to take pictures with the isight camera when someone has a failed login attempt ; anyone know of any programs and or apps ? I've searched all over & even called apple support and no luck.
Thanks !

If I want to count the number of failed login attempts what might be the best course of action?
Off the top of my head I figure I could:
Have a session variable that counts up to number X
Have a cookie variable
Insert the users IP address into a database table for each failed attempt and when the form loads I check to make sure there aren't X number of strikes in the last 30 minutes.
A combination of those might be a good idea. Most hackers are, luckily, amateurs with one-track minds. Create a database table to log failed login attempts. For every failed attempt, log at least the datetime, IP, sessionID, username (which should be unique on your site), reason for failure and failure count.
In a query following a failed login, verify whether the IP, sessionID or username match any in the failed_login table, and, if so, whether the current datetime is within, say, 12 hours of the last failed login. If yes, increment the failure count by 1. If no, insert a new row in the table.
Use client-friendly messages to inform your visitors why their login fails. Study failed logins for common patterns. It just might be that you are the culprit, and that you have to improve your login design. There is one good reason for doing all that. Then you will know that those in your failed_login table really had it in for you.
If your site traffic is high, then consider archiving old data. Throw nothing away!
