New Fog client and security

Wayne Workman

I have no interest in it whatsoever as it seems like a lot of overkill to me.

We will see if you still feel the same when your old fog client is used as a root kit by some hacker. I would urge you to move to the new client.

Encryption and security is not a problem, it’s the solution.

I hope that I didn’t insult anyone, but I was happy as a clam with 0.32 and it’s feature set. It did everything I needed, did it well, and never gave me any trouble, but our newer PC’s did not play well with it.

We are a public library and public network only has our machines on it. We use software that rolls back changes to the PC’s when they reboot. I don’t know how a rootkit could take hold. I do worry that this software will not allow changes that might keep my PC’s from communicating.

Also - I don’t find any clear explanation of how to install the new client and make sure that the encryption keys are set up correctly. Am I missing something? That might go a ways to alleviate my trepidation on using shared-key encryption just to image my PC’s.

@LibraryMark The keys are set up automatically, you don’t have to do anything for it.

I tried that. I installed the new client on my master PC. Then I gave it a bogus hostname to see if the client would rename it. It never did. I reinstalled the old client and the first thing it did was reboot with the correct host name. I am sure I am doing something wrong, but at this point I don’t know what.

Wayne Workman

@LibraryMark The C:\fog.log is the first and only place to start troubleshooting. It’s often something very simple.

The legacy fog client is NOT secure. I don’t want to divulge too much information on this, but I want you to just trust that it is absolutely in no way, shape, or form secure at all, and I know this as fact. It’s security features would stop an inexperienced script kiddie from taking advantage of it. That’s about it.

The new fog client is a fortress. It uses state of the art security features.

And I have no problem with that. The point is if I can’t seem to make the new one work, then what good is it to me?

Here is what I did to install the new one:

uninstalled the old client
Went to http://(my fog server IP)/fog/client/download.php?newclient
Saved SmartInstaller.exe.
Ran it and gave it the IP of my server
rebooted the computer.
gave PC bogus host name
Waited (forever) for machine to reboot with correct name. (it never does)
Uninstall new client.
Reinstall old client.
Rebooted PC.
PC reboots itself shortly thereafter with correct hostname.

What am I missing?

The fog log that we asked for.

@LibraryMark That’s the log from the legacy client. We would need you to uninstall the legacy client, reboot the machine, install the new fog client, reboot the machine, and then give it 5 minutes, and then retrieve the entire log file. You may upload it as a text file to the forums.

LibraryMark

@Wayne-Workman OK - that might take me a while.

@LibraryMark Does this file exist on the host? C:\Program Files\FOG\token.dat And what version of Windows is this host?

LibraryMark

@Wayne-Workman
That file does not exist. Where should it come from?
The PC (well, VM actually) is running 32-bit Windows 7.

Wayne Workman

@LibraryMark The new client should place it when it’s installed.

LibraryMark

@Wayne-Workman
Right. Well, it didn’t.

Wayne Workman

@LibraryMark Does the computer you tried on have Internet access?

LibraryMark

@Wayne-Workman Yes. Why?

Wayne Workman

@LibraryMark Just asking questions to try to figure out what happened. I’m still thinking on it.

LibraryMark

@Wayne-Workman
Oh. Well - don’t spend too much time on it. I can always get by with the old client for now.
