Enableing passive mode in FTP server with CSF firewall

Passive mode is always very important for ftp servers, if you are running csf firewall and cannot connect to ftp server then it means that range of passive ports is blocked in firewall. Here are simple steps

1) Add Passive Port range 30000-350000 to your Pureftp or Proftp configuration file

i) For Pure FTP

open /etc/pure-ftpd.conf, and this line

PassivePortRange    30000 35000

ii) For pro FTP

Open /etc/proftpd.conf, and add this line

PassivePorts    30000 35000

iii) Now add these ports in CSF config

Open /etc/csf/csf.conf

# Allow incoming TCP ports
TCP_IN = "20,21,22,25,53,80,110,30000:35000"

iv) restart csf and ftp

service csf restart
service pureftpd restart (or)
service proftpd restart

Now you will not get error while connecting to ftp
That's it!

How to install CHKRootkit

Install CHKROOTKIT
Product Name: CHKROOTKIT
Product Version: 0.49
Homepage: http://www.chkrootkit.org/

Description: chkrootkit (Check Rootkit) is a common Unix-based program intended to help system administrators check their system for known rootkits. It is a shell script using common UNIX/Linux tools like the strings and grep commands to search core system programs for signatures and for comparing a traversal of the /proc filesystem with the output of the ps (process status) command to look for discrepancies.
It can be used from a “rescue disc” (typically a LiveCD) or it can optionally use an alternative directory from which to run all of its own commands. These techniques allow chkrootkit to trust the commands upon which it depends a bit more.

There are inherent limitations to the reliability of any program that attempts to detect compromises (such as rootkits and computer viruses). Newer rootkits may specifically attempt to detect and compromise copies of the chkrootkit programs or take other measures to evade detection by them.
Step 1: Downloading and Installing it:

cd /usr/local/src
wget ftp://ftp.pangeia.com.br/pub/seg/pac/chkrootkit.tar.gz
wget ftp://ftp.pangeia.com.br/pub/seg/pac/chkrootkit.md5 md5sum -c chkrootkit.md5
tar -zxvf chkrootkit.tar.gz
mkdir /usr/local/chkrootkit
mv /usr/local/src/chkrootkit*/* /usr/local/chkrootkit
cd /usr/local/chkrootkit
make sense Step 2: Adding program to daily cron job
There you go! should be installed, and you will get a mail daily with a status on your system

How to install Malware Detect (Maldet) for CentOS 6 / Linux

Linux Malware Detect (LMD) is a malware scanner for Linux released under the GNU GPLv2 license, that is designed around the threats faced in shared hosted environments. It uses threat data from network edge intrusion detection systems to extract malware that is actively being used in attacks and generates signatures for detection. In addition, threat data is also derived from user submissions with the LMD checkout feature and from malware community resources. The signatures that LMD uses are MD5 file hashes and HEX pattern matches, they are also easily exported to any number of detection tools such as ClamAV.

There is nothing complicated in installation process, but root access to your server is required. 
Installation via SSH

cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://www.rfxn.com/downloads/maldetect-current.tar.gz
tar -xzf maldetect-current.tar.gz
cd maldetect-*
sh ./install.sh or sudo sh ./install.sh
maldet --update-ver
maldet --update

To scan a folder, for example /home you should type maldet -a /home.
