<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">The Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE, sometimes pronounced as pixie) specification describes a standardized client-server environment that boots a software assembly, retrieved from a network, on PXE-enabled clients. On the client side it requires only a PXE-capable network interface controller (NIC), and uses a small set of industry-standard network protocols such as DHCP and TFTP.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">The concept behind the PXE originated in the early days of protocols like BOOTP/DHCP/TFTP, and as of 2015 it forms part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) standard. Given fast and reliable local area networks (LANs), PXE is the most frequent choice for operating system booting, installation and deployment.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">A denial-of-service (DoS) attack is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users, such as to temporarily or indefinitely interrupt or suspend services of a host connected to the Internet. A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) is where the attack source is more than one, often thousands of, unique IP addresses. It is analogous to a group of people crowding the entry door or gate to a shop or business, and not letting legitimate parties enter into the shop or business, disrupting normal operations.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">mod_evasive is an evasive maneuvers module for Apache to provide evasive action in the event of an HTTP DoS or DDoS attack or brute force attack. It is also designed to be a detection and network management tool, and can be easily configured to talk to ipchains, firewalls, routers, and etcetera. mod_evasive presently reports abuses via email and syslog facilities.</span></span><br />

Only enable if you know what you are doing! The only legitimate use for this is in some form of secure tunnelling scheme, or perhaps to facilitate FXP support.</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">pasv_min_port</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - The minimum port to allocate for PASV style data connections.

<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">ftp_data_port</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - The port from which PORT style connections originate (as long as the poorly named connect_from_port_20 is enabled).</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">user_sub_token</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - This option is useful is conjunction with virtual users. It is used to automatically generate a home directory for each virtual user, based on a template. For example, if the home directory of the real user specified via guest_username is /home/virtual/$USER, and user_sub_token is set to $USER, then when virtual user fred logs in, he will end up (usually chroot()'ed) in the directory /home/virtual/fred. This option also takes affect if local_root contains user_sub_token.</span>

Usage is simple, and is best illustrated with an example. If you set user_config_dir to be /etc/vsftpd_user_conf and then log on as the user "chris", then vsftpd will apply the settings in the file /etc/vsftpd_user_conf/chris for the duration of the session. The format of this file is as detailed in this manual page! PLEASE NOTE that not all settings are effective on a per-user basis. For example, many settings only prior to the user's session being started. Examples of settings which will not affect any behviour on a per-user basis include listen_address, banner_file, max_per_ip, max_clients, xferlog_file, etc.</span>

Warning: This option has security implications, especially if the users have upload </span>permission<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">, or shell access. Only enable if you know what you are doing. Note that these security implications are not vsftpd specific. They apply to all FTP daemons which offer to put local users in chroot() jails.</span>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">OpenVAS (Open Vulnerability Assessment System,the name of the fork originally known as GNessUs) is a framework of several services and tools offering a vulnerability scanning and vulnerability management solution.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">All OpenVAS products are Free Software. Most components are licensed under the GPL.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;">OpenVas began, under the name of GNessUs, as a fork of the previously open source Nessus scanning tool after Tenable Network Security changed it to a proprietary (closed source) license in October 2005. OpenVAS was originally proposed by pentesters at Portcullis Computer Security and then announced by Tim Brown on Slashdot.</span></span><br />
