Disable IP address

I am looking for an upgrade to Apple's security that will automatically block access from a given IP when some threshold of invalid attempts to login are made from that address.
Although root is disabled and my privileged account has a hardened password that is changed frequently, my logs are filled with failed login attempts. Some of these attacks are very severe, with as many as four attempts per second for hours.
FYI, the worst attacks come from South Korea but I get a fair share from the US.

I'm not sure of your current network configuration, but from what I can tell, you have a computer connected to an "always-on" type of Internet connection (cable, DSL, LAN) etc... with no hardware based firewall device between you and the Internet.
At any rate, here are a few things for you to consider:
1 - Turn on the built in Firewall (System Preferences)
2 - Disable SSH and Remote Desktop unless you absolutely need to log in from a different physical location.
3 - Disable File Sharing - If you're not behind a hardware based firewall, file sharing is not the best idea.
With the firewall enabled and all remote services disabled, an attacker will not even be prompted to log-in, as the ports to do so will no longer be visible to them.
Not sure if this helps - if not, you may want to give a little bit more information about your current network configuration

Dot1x disable mac-address aging

Hi, all!
I have configured dot1x on 3560 switches on my network. Switches have been configured to send MAC notification traps. I have set mac address-table aging time to 1800 sec. but only 802.1x not enabled switch send trap periodically. It seem dot1x technilogy disable mac-address aging process.
Can anybody explain it.

You can control mac-address learning for a VLAN by using this switchport command on a trunk.
Router(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 3 vlan 102
Or simply use this to allow only a certain number of mac's per access port.
Router(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 1
Here is the command reference.
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122sr/cr/srir_r/ir_s4sr.htm#wp1015189
PS: you cannot totally stop mac learning as the valid values are from 1-4097 so you cant set it to zero and i believe you dont want to as well , since you have a layer2/3 environment.

Disable Global address list suggestions when composing e mail

I got a question of one of my users a few days ago pointing out that when using an Iphone with Active Sync / Exchange synchronisation he is not able to disable e mail address suggestions he gets when typing the e mail address in the TO field comming from the Global Address list.
My user wants to use his personal contacts he uses in Outlook, but does not want to use the Global Address list from exchange. (at least not the automatic suggestions which pop up during typing an e mail in the TO / CC fields when composing an E mail.
I am able to disable this in the Contract app, but not in the E mail app in IOS.
It seems that when I enable to sync the contacts I get both the Personall contacts plus the Global Address list, there is no way to set any setting in regard to the contacts here.
I cannot find any setting which disables the phone of looking up the address I am typing in the Global Address list, having a verry big corporate global address list (we use this in our desktop / outlook environment) this can be verry annoying.
Anyone who can tell me if I can disable this (or not) and if so point me in the right direction ?
Thank you

What device do you have? And what is missing? You Compose a message, choose a name, then they have email addresses missing? or the contact is missing?

Can't disable Web Address Auto-complete in Safari nor Firefox

Hi there,
I am trying to disable the web address auto-complete in order to access my Intranet Server. I tried configuration inside Web Browser (firefox) but doesn't work. Seems to be system configuration since is the same with Safari. If I enter the address http://myserver:8080 always autocompletes to http://www.myserver.com:8080 and can't access the Intranet web server...
Thanks in advance for the help.
Pepe
Mac OSX 10.6.2

Safari and Firefox, both have a configuration utility to solve this. In Firefox, writing about:config in the address bar and look for the features that contains the prefix www and the suffix .com, clear those two fields and that's it.
So, the problem was browser related, not system related.
Thanks

How to view logs of disabled MAC addresses?

I have a Wireless LAN Controller 4402 and WCS 7.0, and I have a few MAC addresses that are "disabled" due to policy violations. How can I view a log or a report that will show me if these MAC addresses are still attempting to connect?

if the clinet is excluded.. then the client will not be able to connect at all... if you want to see the Logs.. i guess we see that on the TRAP logs, if not then we need to run the debug..
lemme know if this answered your question..

How to disable ipv6 address autoconfiguration ???

I am trying to disable ipv6 stateless address autoconfiguration to implement what this document describes:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4554/6maoq01o3?a=view
There are several problems though:
1)The manual says that something must be put inside the hostname6.xxx file but then goes on to give the command as it should be given from the command line instead of the content of the file. The manual should provide some form of exapmle content for the file.
2)I go to /etc/inet/ndpd.conf and put "ifdefault StatelessAddrConf false" inside, then I pkill -HUP in.ndpd and finally I issue ifconfig eri0 inet6 token fe80::c/10. However nothing happens. The interface address remains the one generated through autoconfiguration.
Could someone that has knowledge of this subject provide any help?
Thanks very much,
Thanasis

Hi,
I have a same problem, and think we didn't understand the documentation.
Here is the link of the ndpd.conf configuration page:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4554/6maoq01qt?a=view#ipv6-ref-10
I think this is the right sintax:
if
Sets per-interface parameters. Use the following syntax:
if interface [variable-value]
Table 11�3 /etc/inet/ndpd.conf Interface Configuration Variables
StatelessAddrConf
True
Controls whether the node configures its IPv6 address through stateless address autoconfiguration. If False is declared in ndpd.conf, then the address must be manually configured. For more information, refer to How to Configure a User-Specified IPv6 Token.
I think the variable is this: StatelessAddrConf
if-variable-name StatelessAddrConf false
I think: if StatelessAddrConf false
But I found the 'false' parameter with uppercase and lowercase letter.
(It is not working for me!)
And I found another configuration file, what is include the rules of the address (/usr/sbin/ipaddrsel ).
Here is the link:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5166/6mbb1kq56?a=view
Maybe, I found the solution.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4554/6maoq01qt?a=view#ipv6-ref-10
You can creat a logical interface, and you can set the IP address of this interface.
Example 11�6 Adding a Logical IPv6 Interface With the -addif Option of the ifconfig Command
The following form of the ifconfig command creates the hme0:3 logical interface:
// this is teh example, and it is not perfect on Sol10
# ifconfig hme0 inet6 addif up
Created new logical interface hme0:3
This form of ifconfig verifies the creation of the new interface:
# ifconfig hme0:3 inet6
hme0:3: flags=2000841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2
inet6 inet6 fe80::203:baff:fe11:b321/10
Here is my solution:
ifconfig e1000g0 inet6 addif 1234:0000:0000:0000:0200:50FF:FE09:B980/10
ifconfig e1000g0:1 inet6 up
# ifconfig -a6
lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252 index 1
inet6 ::1/128
e1000g0: flags=2000840<RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2
inet6 fe80::20d:60ff:feee:aba8/10
ether 0:d:60:ee:ab:a8
e1000g0:1: flags=2000841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2
inet6 1234::200:50ff:fe09:b980/10
I have special IP address, but I don't know that it is working or not.
If you have any idea, please write!

I disabled my address bar on accident. How do I enable it again?

I disabled my search bar by accident and want to re-enable it.

Disable email address caching/autofill.

Hi Folks,
I have seen this question asked before, but no solution. I have an iPhone 3GS, running iOS 4.2.
If I reply to an email that someone sends me, the email address is stored in the email address cache on the phone. For example, if [email protected] emails me and I respond, I now have [email protected] in my email address cache, even though it does not appear anywhee in my contacts.
So now, when I go to type a new email and type in as the first letter "j" - the email address [email protected] is now one of the options to select from.
How do I disable this, or at the very least, remove [email protected] ?
I find this feature very annoying.
Thanks.

I have seen this question asked before, but no solution.
Because there is no solution - not at the present time anyway, except for restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup to purge the entire list.
How do I disable this, or at the very least, remove [email protected] ?
Not possible to disable the list of previous recipients and not possible to remove a single email address from the list of previous recipients.
As with the Mail.app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients. The email address autofill feature pulls from the Address Book or Contacts, and from the list of previous recipients. Different from the Mail.app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients to add a previous recipient to the Address Book or Contacts that is not already entered, or to remove a previous recipient from the list - not a the present time anyway.

How to enable/disable ws-addressing in PM

Hi, folks,
My question is how to force the messages out of Oracle PM server to implement ws-addressing or not to do so.
Cheers,
Don

Hi,
in the middle of this article
http://blogs.oracle.com/matt/2006/08/23
is some setting for Partner Link from BPEL
"Now as I mentioned earlier, by default BPEL PM uses WS-Addressing for the correlation of messages, so in order for our correlation set to be used we need to instruct BPEL PM to use correlation sets instead of WS-Addressing. To do this we need to set the property “correlation” on the client Partner Link to “correlationSet”. To do this edit the client Partner Link and select the property tab (as shown in figure 3), and create the property as required.

How to disable mac address filtering

Hello I have a macbook pro. I am using a Westell 7500 wireless router and my hp photosmart 110 printer stopped working, saying that "MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wirelss router". Not sure how to dissble this and/or why it all of a sudden was enabled. Printer had worked perfectly for 2 months previously since installation of new wireless router/internet in our home. Any help is appreciated!

You need to use AirPort Utility to change any of the AirPort Extreme's settings.
However, like Bob Timmons said I don't believe the tech really knows what he is after, and is lost in the weeds regarding MAC Address Filtering.
Perhaps you can ask for another technician who understands you are using an AirPort Extreme. Your Roku box should not require so much effort to configure.
Have you read these instructions?
http://support.roku.com/entries/244199-how-do-i-set-up-my-roku-player
I don't have a Roku but it seems very similar to my Blu-Ray player. Account registration and setup is performed on a computer by going to the address www.roku.com/link in Step 6.
It should not be necessary to change anything at all with your AirPort. Just make sure the Roku is within its wireless range.
