Exploitation and distribution of setuid and setgid binaries on Linux systemsZero Science Lab
Abstract—In an era of internet freedom, lack of control and supervision, every system is exposed to various attackers and malicious users which, given the right circumstances, are able to cause colossal damage. A single security vulnerability can be the reason for a business’ downfall, therefore significant attention needs to be paid to said systems’ security to avoid such issues. Unix-like filesystems define certain access rights flags, named setuid and setgid, which allow users to execute files with the permissions of the file’s owner or group. This can be exploited to gain unprivileged access using buffer overflow attacks. I performed tests by running a script to collect the files in Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Fedora and CentOS to find the files with the setuid and setgid bits set. My aim is to determine which distribution is the most secure one and whether Slackware, considering it’s known for its’ secure design and characteristics, will prove its’ reputation. The results show that Debian and CentOS have e least amount of exploitable binaries, while Slackware and Fedora have the most.
The document discusses Linux security concepts including user accounts, file permissions, groups, auditing, and PAM authentication. It covers the three layers of the Linux OS - the kernel layer, system layer, and user layer. The kernel layer houses core OS resources while the system and user layers provide interfaces and services to users and applications. Access is controlled through permissions assigned to files and directories for different user categories. Security features like auditing and PAM help enforce access controls and authenticate users.
Linux is an open source operating system first created in 1991. It is maintained by a community of programmers and comes in various distributions. The source code is freely available and can be modified. Linux is widely used as a network operating system, including in security operations centers (SOC), due to its security, customizability and control over the operating system. It allows analysts to build customized security distributions with just the tools needed for their jobs, such as packet capture, malware analysis, intrusion detection and firewall tools.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Gas agency management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The project entitled "Gas Agency" is done to make the manual process easier by making it a computerized system for billing and maintaining stock. The Gas Agencies get the order request through phone calls or by personal from their customers and deliver the gas cylinders to their address based on their demand and previous delivery date. This process is made computerized and the customer's name, address and stock details are stored in a database. Based on this the billing for a customer is made simple and easier, since a customer order for gas can be accepted only after completing a certain period from the previous delivery. This can be calculated and billed easily through this. There are two types of delivery like domestic purpose use delivery and commercial purpose use delivery. The bill rate and capacity differs for both. This can be easily maintained and charged accordingly.

4. Introduction to Fedora
Linux
The name Fedora refers to the characteristic fedora hat in Red Hat's Shadowman logo. Fedora, also
known as Fedora Linux, is a popular open source Linux-based operating system (OS). Designed as a
secure, general-purpose OS, Fedora is developed on a six-month to eight-month release cycle under
the Fedora Project. Both the OS and the Fedora Project are financially sponsored and supported by Red
Hat.
Fedora is a free and open source OS platform for hardware, clouds and containers. Based on the Linux
OS kernel architecture, It is a user-friendly OS that enables users to perform their tasks easily and
efficiently with minimal friction.
5. Importance of Access
Control
Access control is a critical aspect of any operating system, including Fedora, which is a Linux-based
distribution. Access control in Fedora OS plays a crucial role in ensuring the security, integrity, and
confidentiality of the system and its data. Here are some of the key reasons why access control is important
in Fedora and other Linux distributions:
• Security: Access control mechanisms help prevent unauthorized users or processes from accessing
sensitive system resources. By specifying who can access what, it helps in safeguarding the system
from malicious activities, such as unauthorized access, data breaches, and malware infections.
• Data Protection: Access control ensures that only authorized users can read, modify, or delete
specific files or directories. This is essential for protecting sensitive data and preventing accidental or
intentional data loss or corruption.
6. Importance of Access
Control
• System Integrity: Fedora relies on access control to maintain the integrity of the system. By restricting
access to system files and configurations, it prevents unauthorized changes that could lead to system
instability or vulnerabilities.
• User Isolation: Access control helps separate user accounts and their associated processes, ensuring
that users cannot interfere with each other's data or processes. This isolation is vital for multi-user
systems to maintain individual privacy and prevent one user from compromising the security of
another.
• Compliance: Many organizations and regulatory bodies have specific security and data protection
requirements that must be met. Access control is crucial in helping Fedora OS meet these compliance
standards by enforcing access policies and auditing access attempts.
7. Linux Access Control Basics
Linux access control basics involve managing permissions to restrict or allow access to system resources. Key elements
include:
Users: Identify individuals or entities interacting with the system.
Groups: Organize users into groups for easier permission management.
File Permissions: Determine who can read, write, or execute a file or directory by user, group, and others (world).
Access Control Lists (ACLs): Provide fine-grained control over access permissions beyond traditional file permissions.
Root Privileges: The root user has superuser privileges, allowing full access to the system.
Role of chmod and chown: Commands to change file permissions and ownership.
SELinux and AppArmor: Security modules that enhance access control by enforcing security policies.
These basics are essential for maintaining security and controlling resource access in Linux-based operating systems like
Fedora.
8. File permissions in Fedora and other Linux-based systems are governed by a set of three categories:
user, group, and others. Permissions for each category are represented by three characters: read (r), write
(w), and execute (x). In short:
- User (owner) permissions determine access for the file's creator.
- Group permissions apply to a specific user group.
- Others permissions cover all users not in the owner's group.
Permissions are set using commands like `chmod`, and
they control read, write, and execute rights for files and
directories, ensuring data security and access control
in the system.

9. User Management
User management in Fedora OS involves creating, modifying, and managing user accounts. Key tasks
include:
1. Creating Users: Use commands like `useradd` to add new user accounts.
2. Deleting Users: Use `userdel` to remove user accounts.
3. Password Management: Change passwords with `passwd`.
4. User Groups: Organize users into groups using `groupadd` and `usermod`.
5. Access Control: Manage user permissions and access rights to system resources.
These actions help control access, maintain security, and manage user accounts in Fedora OS.
10. Group Management
Group management in Fedora OS involves organizing users into groups for easier permission
management and access control. Key tasks include:
1. Creating Groups: Use `groupadd` to create new user groups.
2. Adding Users to Groups: Add users to groups using `usermod` or `useradd`.
3. Removing Users from Groups: Use `gpasswd` or manually edit `/etc/group`.
4. Managing Group Permissions: Control group access to resources by setting file and directory
permissions.
Group management simplifies access control and user administration in Fedora OS.
11. Access Control Lists
Access Control Lists (ACLs) in Fedora OS are a feature that allows for finer-grained control over file and
directory permissions. In short, ACLs:
1. Extend Basic Permissions: ACLs provide additional user and group permissions beyond the standard
read, write, and execute.
2. Allow Detailed Access Control: You can specify permissions for individual users or groups on a per-file
or per-directory basis.
3. Enhance Flexibility: ACLs are used to grant specific access rights without changing the primary file
ownership or group.
4. Can be Managed with Commands: Use commands like `getfacl` and `setfacl` to view and modify ACLs.
ACLs are valuable for managing access to resources in Fedora OS when traditional file permissions are not
sufficient for precise control.
12. SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux)
SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) is a security module used in Fedora and other Linux distributions to enhance access
control and provide fine-grained security policies. In short, SELinux:
1. Enforces Mandatory Access Controls: SELinux goes beyond traditional Linux discretionary access controls (DAC) to
mandate specific policies for system resources and processes.
2. Labels Resources: Each file, process, or network port is assigned a security label, and access is determined based on
these labels.
3. Provides Multi-Level Security: SELinux offers various security levels, allowing strict control for different types of
systems, from desktops to servers.
4. Enhances System Security: It helps prevent privilege escalation, restricts unauthorized access, and isolates
processes.
5. Can Be Managed with Tools: SELinux policies can be customized using tools like `semanage` and `setsebool`.
SELinux is a powerful security feature that plays a crucial role in protecting the Fedora OS and its resources from various
security threats.
13. Firewall and Security in fedora OS
Firewall is a dynamic firewall management tool used in Fedora and other Linux distributions to enhance security.
In Fedora, it is installed by default during the installation of the operating system, enabled and configured to provide
secure operation even without any additional action by the administrator.
1. Manages Firewall Rules: Firewall simplifies the management of firewall rules, making it easier to control network
traffic.
2. Zones: It categorizes network connections into different zones (e.g., public, home, work) and applies specific rules to
each zone.
3. Dynamic Rule Updates: Firewall allows real-time rule updates without disrupting existing connections, increasing
flexibility and security.
4. Rich Rules: It supports the creation of more complex rules based on services, source addresses, and ports.
5. Default Security: Fedora ships with Firewall configured to provide a basic level of security.
Firewall is an essential component in securing the network and ensuring that only authorized traffic is allowed in
Fedora OS, contributing to system security.
14. Logging and Auditing
Logging and auditing are critical components of security and system management in Fedora OS. In short, in Fedora
OS:
1. Logging: The system generates logs to record events, activities, and errors, which are essential for troubleshooting,
monitoring, and security analysis.
2. Audit: Fedora OS includes the audit daemon (`auditd`) for auditing. It monitors system activities, creates audit logs,
and supports fine-grained control of what to audit.
3. Audit Rules: Administrators can define custom audit rules to track specific events or actions, such as file access,
user authentication, or system changes.
4. Log Files: Audit logs are typically stored in `/var/log/audit/`, and other system logs can be found in various locations
like `/var/log/secure` and `/var/log/messages`.
5. Log Rotation: Log files are periodically rotated and compressed to save disk space and maintain historical records.
Effective logging and auditing in Fedora OS are crucial for detecting and responding to security incidents, tracking
system changes, and ensuring compliance with security policies.
15. Applications of Fedora Operating System
1. Cloud computing: Fedora Cloud is intended for use in cloud computing
environments and includes only the software packages required to run cloud-native
applications. It is designed for use in containerized environments such as
Kubernetes and is appropriate for developing and deploying cloud-based
applications.
2. Development: Fedora includes a large number of software development tools
and libraries, making it popular among developers for building and testing
applications. It’s especially well-suited for creating applications with open-source
technologies like Python, Ruby, and Java.
16. Benefits of Fedora Operating System
•Free and open-source: Fedora is free to download and use, and the source code is
freely available for anyone to view, modify, and distribute. As a result, it is a popular
choice among users who prefer open-source software and value transparency and
community involvement.
•Stable and reliable: Fedora is well-known for its stability and dependability, and it is
used as the primary operating system by many organizations and individuals. It is well-
maintained and subjected to rigorous testing before new versions are released, which
contributes to its stability and dependability.
