[SOLVED] creating simple firewall

HI
I am running mails and web on my server, I would like to put simple firewall on that server to have some prtotection.
Here is my start configuration of iptables
cat /etc/iptables/iptables.rules
*filter
:INPUT DROP [0:0]
:FORWARD DROP [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
-A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 587 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 143 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 993 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset
-A INPUT -p udp -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
-A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-proto-unreachable
COMMIT
As you can see I am opening imap, smtp, web and ssh ports.
MY IDEA is to protect server from strangers who are scaning ports, trying to open all possible web pages and login over some webapp.
I would like to do something like this:
DROP connection if there are to many attempts to open, Let's say if there are more the 5 per 1 second then DROP.
Is it possible to do it in simple way using iptables? and how?
thank you very much.

"Create Simple document" from other objects

Scenario: Creating a document using option "Create Simple document" from other objects
I have created a document type and defined the object link for Functional Location with option "create simple document"
When clicking on create icon on the additional data tab on IL02 screen, The system asks for the document type and then the file to be uploaded.
The document type that i have defined has the Description filed as mandatory field and hence i am not able to create the document.
However, for the Document type when i set the description field as not mandatory the system creates DIR. But this DIR has no description.
Please let me know if there is a BADI, using which i could set the Functional location name as the description OR if there is some enhancement by which the user is asked to enter the description when creating the document.
Warm Regards,
Vivek Mohankumar

Hi Vivek,
After my tests I would like to inform you that this is
the standard system behavior as the document description field is
maintained as mandatory in transaction DC10. Please note that for the
simple creation of documents this should not be set as a mandatory
field.
The creation mode can be defined in transaction DC10 for each object
under 'Define object links'.
Please note that the value "1" for the creation of documents is used
to enable a user to simple attache a word file to an object
without going to the transaction CV01n. Therefore the system behaviour
is different then creating a document by CV01n and attaching a
file to it. With simple creation mode there should not be any
mandatory fields as the user cannot enter anything during the creation
process.
However, you can change the behaviour how the document is created by
MM02 transaction if you change the customizing in transaction DC10
like this:
If you maintain the value "2" for creation of documents, the user is
put to transaction CV01n and then the description can be entered. So
maybe this would solve the issue.
Regarding a useful BADI I can only recommned you to test BADI DOCUMENT_OBJ1,
DOCUMENT_OBJ2 or DOCUMENT_MAIN01 for fill the description field.
I hope this information could be useful for you and help to avoid the
mentioned error message.
Best regards,
Christoph

Simple Firewall

Hi all,
I have very recently begun using java as a development package, and I love the network capability that it has. It makes it quite a bit easier to make a network application, and implement it.
Something I would like to try would be to make a fairly simple firewall. For instance, when a user inside the network wants to make a connection, it would forward it through to the outside world, and keep the thread open to allow communication back to the host. If the outside world tried getting in, it would reject the host unless is met specific requirements (right port, etc).
Three questions I have:
1. Is this possible? I mean, it seems possible, but would there be a problem with the data, even if I used very basic I/O streams and such? Or would there be problems because of the vast number of protocols and such?
2. How can I differentiate between 2 NICs? On my existing firewall, I'd have eth0 and eth1 for my internet and local net Ethernet cards. How would java know which is which? Creating a server socket is simple, but how do I tell it which interface to listen on?
3. Obviously a firewall would need to listen to all incoming and outgoing ports. Do I seriously need to make 65535 threads to have a server socket listen on every port? I would hope there is a more simple way, but I'm just not finding it anywhere.
Thank you all for your time.

Yes it is possible with java.net API.
There are lot of examples.
I think you shoulg go to the socket programming division
if you realy like to this.

Create Simple Printable SQL Reports in APEX 3.2 Without a Print Server

Oracle Apex 3.2
Oracle 11g
OHS
I thought I'd post an answer on how to get a printable SQL report in Oracle Apex without having to configure a print server. I'm sure that similar things have been posted in various other places, but I found the documentation for using custom row templates (to create a printable report) to be incomplete at best. For my needs, I was not looking for an awe inspiring report printout, but rather simple directory information printouts. For example, if you wanted a printable report to look like this:
=================================
CURRENT ACTIVE EMPLOYEES REPORT
=================================
First Name: Bob                  Employee ID: 0000000000
Last Name: Swarts              Company Credit Card Number: 0000-0000-0000-0000
Middle Initial: F                  Social Security Number: 000-00-0000
First Name: Sue                  Employee ID: 1111111111
Last Name: Johnson           Company Credit Card Number: 1111-1111-1111-1111
Middle Initial: G                 Social Security Number: 111-11-1111
etc.....In MS Access, doing this is very easy. From what I understand, this is also very easy to do this using PDF software with a print server. However, if you are like me, you don't want to waste time and money by obtaining and configuring a print server (even if it is free). However, never fear because you can create simple reports like this with relatively minimalistic effort; and you can do so without having to configure a print server.
1.) Create a new page
2.) Create a new sql query report region on the page
3.) Make your query just as you would normally.
For this example the query would be:
select first_name, employee_id, last_name, company_credit_card_number, middle_initial, social_security_number from employee_table4.) Go to "Shared Components"
5.) Under "User Interface" click on "Templates"
6.) Click on the "Create" button
7.) Select "Report"
8.) Select "From Scratch"
9.) For the "Template Class," choose one of the "custom" classes. For the "Template Type," choose "Named Column"
10.) Click the "Create" button
11.) Now that you created a custom row template, go back to "Shared Components" and then to "Templates"
12.) Find your custom template and click on it
CUSTOM TEMPLATE HOW TO
1.) In the "Row Template 1" textbox, you are going to create some custom css that will display the data on the page. The css to make the report look like the report above would be:
<div style = text-align: justify">
<table>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px"><b>First Name: #1#</b></td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px"><b>Employee Id: #2#</b></td>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px">Last Name: #3#</td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px">Company Credit Card Number: #4#</td>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px">MI: #5#</td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px">Social Security Number: <b>#6#</b></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p style = "page-break-after: always">----------------------------------------------------------------</p>
</div>
{code}
As you probably figured out, the numbers between the two pound signs ("#") are substitution strings for the variables in your select query in the SQL report. As you have also probably noticed, the "page-break-after: always" line will always make it so that only one report is shown on a page. To fix this, we will need to use logic and row template 2.
2.) For the "Row Template 1 Condition," select "Use Based on PL/SQL Expression" from the select list.
3.) In the textbox for the row template 1 expression enter in the following: {code}substr('#rownum#',-1) = 0 or substr('#rownum#',-1) = 5{code}
***** This condition will make sure that this template is applied when the last digit in the row number is either a "0" or a "5." So, only 5 reports will be displayed per page.
4.) Now go down to "Row Template 2" and enter in the following in the textbox:
{code}
<div style = text-align: justify">
<table>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px"><b>First Name: #1#</b></td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px"><b>Employee Id: #2#</b></td>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px">Last Name: #3#</td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px">Company Credit Card Number: #4#</td>
<tr>
<td style = "width: 200px">MI: #5#</td>
<td style = "width: 225px">&nbsp</td>
<td style = "width: 215px">Social Security Number: <b>#6#</b></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>----------------------------------------------------------------</p>
</div>look familiar? that is because it exactly the same code as above, except without the page-break-after piece.
5.) For the "Row Template 2 Condition," select "Use Based on PL/SQL Expression" from the select list.
6.) In the textbox for the row template 2 expression enter in the following: substr('#rownum#',-1) != 0 or substr('#rownum#',-1) != 5***** This condition will make sure that this template is applied when the last digit in the row number IS NOT a "0" or a "5."
7.) Scroll down to column headings and enter this in the textbox for the "Column Heading Template": OMIT
8.) Click the "Apply Changes" button
9.) Now go back to your application and the page you want to apply the custom report to
10.) On the report, click on the report tab
11.) Scroll down to "Layout and Pagination"
12.) Click on the "Report Template" select list
13.) Select your custom template
14.) Click the "Apply Changes" button and run the page
Try printing the report, if it does not print correctly, try it in Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome. Please note that it is my understanding that only Firefox does not understand the css "page-break-after: always"
If needed, add some css to the page to hide tabs and other items when you print.

DOH. Too much copy/paste.
In my code, I was setting an application variable to contain the email address I was retrieving from AD. Once commented out, it worked fine.
          IF l_attr_name = 'mail' THEN

I need an app for creating simple signs like Windows Publisher allows. Suggestions?

I have a MacBook Pro and purchased the Windows for Mac Office Suite software which includes Excel, Word, Outlook and Powerpoint. However, I now really need something similar to Publisher in order to create simple fliers and other items. I have Pages and thought that it would work for me, but I find that pictures I insert into a Pages doc are difficult to place or maneuver within the document. Any suggestions for a different app that would be easier to use?

Word will actually 'work' for simple flyers - maybe even simple newsletters and the like. Do a Google search for some Word templates that you may be able to use.
I have Pages but I don't use it - Word is powerful enough to do what you need, though, I would think.

Simple firewall implementation

Hello,
I'm pretty new to the cisco product and want to setup a simple firewall.
I found some exampels but can't get it to work.
For now we are using Cisco routers 88x and 89x series.
When I activate te script I the remote connection to the router is lost, although I have put an permit rule for ssh.
The script is the following:
ip inspect name Firewall tcp
ip inspect name Firewall udp
ip inspect name Firewall rtsp
ip inspect name Firewall h323
ip inspect name Firewall netshow
ip inspect name Firewall ftp
ip inspect name Firewall ssh
ip access-list extended Allow-IN

deny ip any any
interface Vlan1
ip inspect Firewall in
interface Dialer1
ip access-group Allow-IN in
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
And a second question, can I use for the ip inspect also port numbers or must I always use a service name?
Thank you,
//Edwin

Hello,
I have tested this.
I couldn't add the router-traffic to the ip inspect rule for ssh but could add it to the ip inspect rule with tcp.
I tested this option but unfortunatly the connection was closed again as soon the rules were applied to the interfaces.
Maybe I did it wrong or it doesn't work.

Create simple map like visio

I'm using Microsoft Visio to create simple map.Can we do it at ilustrator?
Thank .
http://iptek.bintang9.co.cc

I've created maps in Illustrator. I'm sure I've gone about it the hard way, but I know it can be done. There is also a plugin for Illustrator called MAPublisher as well for this particular application. Although that plugin is quite expensive, so I just do it the hard old fashioned way as mapmaking isn't something that I do often and it's usually more for a graphic then it is for dead-on accurate(although I do try to be as much as I possibly can be).

Error in Forms when creating simple form in c sharp

I've created a very simple Csharp form with two textboxes and one press button. It is linked to a fortran DLL (Salford Compiler)
When I compile and run the program the first time it all works well. But when I save the file and quit VS 2013
and then restart and reload the program I get this funny error when I try to view the form again.
Warning 1 The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG)) 0 0
I've tried deleting the Temporary asp.net files as suggested in one forum but to no avail. Any help much appreciated
Terry

Hi ProfTC,
By researching, I found this thread in StackOverFlow, which has solved this problem.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8269386/could-not-load-file-or-assembly-the-parameter-is-incorrect
The answer is below:
Depending on if your are running X64 you might need to clean up a couple more spots. Just cleaning up my user directory was not enough.
%TEMP%\Temporary ASP.NET Files
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files
This list will grow as if you have other versions of the framework installed.
So , you could clear these ASP.NET files in more spots.
If you still have problems, you could feel free to let me know,
Or if your project is related to ASP.Net, you could post your issue to the ASP.Net forum for better supports.

Help to create simple Applescript

Hi, hopefully somebody will be able to help me with a simple Applescript.
I want to be able to drag a pdf file onto a desktop icon, enter a new filename into a dialogue box and for the file to be copied to a specific folder. It will only be pdf files, and I want it to automatically append the .pdf extension.
Could sombody possibly point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Oops, forgot one more check. If a file exists with the same name as the original file, then it will error when you duplicate it. One way to solve that is to duplicate in place. Then "copy" is added to the name. You then move the file to the destination folder and probably there is no file with "copy" in its name.

property folder_name : "Files"

repeat with this_item in these_items
set n to name of (info for this_item)
if n ends with ".pdf" then
set temp_prompt to "Enter a name for duplicate of " & n & ":"
repeat
display dialog temp_prompt default answer "name"
set new_name to (text returned of result) & ".pdf"
tell application "Finder"
if not (exists file new_name of main_folder) then
set the_duplicate to (duplicate this_item) as alias
move the_duplicate to main_folder
set name of the_duplicate to new_name
exit repeat
else -- inform user to enter a different name
set temp_prompt to "Enter a different name. The name " & new_name & " is used."
end if
end tell
end repeat
end if
end repeat
end open
Otherwise, What I usually do is create a empty temp folder for doing renaming, but then it gets more complicated. For now, just don't use "copy" in names.

Creating simple WWI report

Hello All,
Can someone kindly write down very basic steps by which I can create a simple WWI report by extracting some field values from Property tree of specification.
Thanks in advance,
Sachin

Hello Sachin
to my knowlegde WWI is integrated in most of the EH&S submodules. The SAP standard can be used to generate a high number of report symbols which are connected to the different submodules and the SAP EH&S set up can be used to generate if necessary very easily customer specific symbols.
Further on WWI as a "printing" technique etc. has grown a lot in the recent years. Here I can give only a small summary:
With the recent releases of SAP EH&S you can use e.g. a "report template" in a "report template" which is a good starting point in my opinion to handle better the WWI topic. Further on SAP has increased the possibilites in using so called "place holder phrases". One is linked to a "old" relase (related majnly to DG management topics) and a new one which has been prepared recently.
It is a good idea to do a small inquiry in SAP marketplace to find the corrresponding OSS.
As Recipe Management uses in the background to my knowlegde the EH&S indicates that you can use WWI to derive data using WWI from Recipe Management too (Sorry: I have too no experience here).
If you perform an inquiry in SDN you will find a high number of entries regarding "Recipe Management" and in some of them I have seen that similar questions have been asked and answered (how to derive data using WWI). Now coming back to what Niraj said:
If you take a look in cg54 and cg50 you will see a number of "report applications".
Therefore the WWI technique to my knowlegde can now be used in really any EH&S submodule you can think about.
WWI is normally used to generate MSDS, SOP, Lables etc. but can be used ot my knowlege in EH&S IH and OH as well to "print" data in a report.
MSDS and Lables are "special" from my point of view because of SAP history. The reason is simple. The generation of especially a MSDS or a lable will drive most of your EH&S acitvities in most companyies. Further on SOPs (Standad operating measuress) are used often and in the past in europe tremcards. The generation of a MSDS or a SOP was one of the first major topics which SAP solved with EH&S. Later on (i believe with SAp enterprise Extenstion 2.0) GLM has been introduced
What is really important is to understand the link between the "substance generation variant" the "report template" and the "report application".
Personally I would suggest that you try to "print" e.g. an identifier as the first step to get expericene in using WWI. From the "technical point of view" such a report layout and generation variant etc. can be created within not more than 2 hours if you have a basic idea of WWI.
With best regards
C.B.
Shipped with EH&S there is are some "default WWI" layout (which can be found in the corresponding folder in the WWI on your client).
