Hi. Got an old FC system that was hacked. - I know - my own fault (perhaps) should have updated, etc,,, The system is vital, need to extract all/as much of the files from the 700G drive as possible. I'm going to blow away the corrupt system, replacing the system with centos 6.5. On the corrupted machine, when it was setup, the partitions where such that most of the data was written to the /apps partition - so hopefully most of what I really need will be there. However, I'm pretty sure that a chunk of other useful/critical stuff was placed on other dirs within the drive. I'd like comments/suggestions on my approach to resolve the issue: -Setup new machine with a couple of drive bays -take the corrupted drive, insert it in new machine's drive bay -insert clean 750G drive in the other drive bay -from the new machine, do a complete "find" on the corrupted drive to get a "complete" list of files/dirs/tree -go down the list, identifying the initial dirs/files that are important/data, that aren't part of the OS --copy these dirs/files to a tmp area on the clean drive, maintaining the dir structure -repeat this process untill I pretty much get the data files (txt/py/pl/php/etc..) --go through a complete process, trying to identify all the apps/functions that were added to the corrupt system. -identify these apps, as well as the rpms required to generate the functions -create a script to auto install these apps/functions from the associated centos/associated centos repos -handle all mysql stuff by doing a mysqldump from the good machine, reading the mysql data from the corrupted drive, and then copying reinserting the mysql data into the new mysql on the clean/tmp machine -identify any dev languages/environments (py/gearman/perl/php/etc..) and the required rpms to install or run to recreate the env on the clean/tmp machine -identify all of the "services" running on the corrupt system/drive, and clean/install the rpms/services on the clean/tmp machine/drive -change all ssh keys for the new clean/tmp drive/machine.. -change all passwds on the new machine -for any web sites, change all passwds -the goal is to recreate the file system/dirs/files from the corrupt machine/drive on the new clean/tmp machine as much as possible -however, once I've gone through all of the above, I still need to know how to lock down services, how to harden the overall system.. so, the more comments that are on point the better. thanks -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
