NAME
fakebo - fake Back Orifice and NetBus trojan server
SYNOPSIS
fakebo [ -dihbav ] [ -c config_file ]
DESCRIPTION
This file documents version 0.4.2 of fakebo, the fake Back Orifice (BO)
and NetBus server for Linux and other Unices.
Have you ever wanted to know who is trying to access your computer with
Back Orifice or NetBus? This program fakes these trojan servers and
logs every connection from their clients. Connections can be logged to
a file, to stdout, to stderr or to syslog. fakebo can also send fake
pings and replies back to the trojan client.
fakebo can emulate a BO server with three possible levels of realism:
RealFakeBO
If the option userealfakebo is turned on in the configuration
file, fakebo will do its best to emulate a real BO server.
Custom replies
If the option usecustomreplies is turned on, fakebo will send to
the client a different message for each type of incoming packet
received. The messages sent in replies are specified by the user
in separate files (see section CUSTOM REPLIES). If RealFakeBO
is turned on, custom replies will not be used unless the built-
in RealFake server fails to produce a reply.
Fixed reply
If both previous methods either fail or are configured out,
fakebo will send to the client the message specified under
bomessage in the configuration file, whatever the incoming
packet may be.
You may want to auto start fakebo when you connect to the Net via PPP.
To do that, just put "fakebo" in /etc/ppp/ip-up, and it will run fakebo
when PPP is activated. Don't forget to put something like "killall
fakebo" in /etc/ppp/ip-down...
OPTIONS
-c config_file
Path to the configuration file. If this option is omitted,
fakebo will search a file named fakebo.conf in the following
directories: /etc, /usr/local/etc, $HOME and . (the current
directory).
-v Turn on verbose logging.
-d Print to stderr the configuration parameters. This option is for
debugging purposes.
-i Log the BO packet numbers together with their description, oth‐
erwise only the description is logged. This option is for debug‐
ging purposes.
-b Start fakebo as a daemon. When started with this option, fakebo
closes all file descriptors, disassociates itself from the con‐
trolling terminal and puts itself in the background.
-a Print an "about" message and exit.
-h Print a short summary of options and exit.
CONFIGURATION FILE
The configuration file is a simple plain text file. Lines beginning
with `#' and empty lines are treated as comments. Each command is a
couple keyword value. Values can be either strings (enclosed in double
quotes unless otherwise stated), integers or booleans. A boolean is an
integer which can be 0 (zero) for turning the option off or 1 for turn‐
ing it on.
user string
If fakebo is started by root, it will su to the user specified
here after opening the log file. This is intended to avoid com‐
promising the system, should the program have any security hole.
If custom replies are used, the user owning the fakebo process
must have read access to the files containing the replies.
boport integer
The UDP port to listen for BO connections. The default port is
31337, it is also the default port in BO itself. In fact, boport
can also be the name of an UDP port (as defined in /etc/ser‐
vices) without quotes.
nbport integer
The UDP port to listen for NetBus connections.
startasdaemon boolean
Start fakebo as a daemon. This has the same effect as the -b
option.
bofakever string
Fake BO version (not longer than 10 characters). it's used for
sending BO version when sendfakereply is on. Now you can fool
attacker that you have a computer infected with a newer version
of BO... ;)
nbfakever string
Fake NetBus version (not longer than 10 characters). This is
sent to the client in the greeting message.
bomessage string
Message which will be sent to BO client if both RealFakeBO or
custom replies either fail or are configured out.
nbmessage string
Message which will be sent to NetBus client when accessed.
logfile string
File where all attempts are logged (full path). stdout stands
for STandarD OUTput, stderr stands for STandarD ERRor.
user string
user who should own the process if started by root
logconnection boolean
If you want to log IP where it comes from and what type of
packet is.
logreceivedpackets integer
There are 5 possible values (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) for logging received
packets: 0: do not log, 1: log only command 2: log command &
data fields (most common) 3: log command, data and header fields
(for debugging purposes). 4: log packet hex dump, along with
everything from above
logsendingpackets integer
There are 4 possible values (0, 1, 2, 3) for logging packets to
send: 0: do not log, 1: log only command, 2: log command & data
fields (most common), 3: log command, data and header fields
(for debugging purposes). 4: log packet hex dump, along with
everything from above
lognotbopackets boolean
If you want to log contents of non-BO packets.
sendfakereply boolean
If you want to send fake replies to pings from the client (it
will display a message as if you had BO). Very useful to set
when somebody sweeps your domain and you want him to believe
that you have BO server installed.
machinename string
Used for fake ping replies for forming fake ping packet. This
must be a single word.
logtimeanddate boolean
Log time and date of received packet.
silentmode boolean
Make it silent. If this option is set fakebo will not answer
the message back to BO client. Note that pings will still be
replied back to the client. Turn off sendfakereply if you want
to make fakebo completely silent (very useful if you don't want
that public knows that their activity is logged).
bufferedlogging boolean
This option is used for turning on or off buffered output to log
file. fakebo runs a little faster if buffering is on. I recom‐
mend not to use buffering.
logtosyslog integer
May be: 0: do not log via syslog, 1: log via syslog, 2: log via
syslog verbosely.
toexecutescript boolean
If you set this option, fakebo will execute the program which
you specify under parameter executescript (see below) when it
receives the BO packet. It is a sort of plug-in, so you can do
everything you want with his IP. You can for example run whois,
finger, traceroute or something else, but putting nuke, or land
or some similar attack in the script is not very smart (then
you're like the one attacking you!)
executescriptshell string
Path to the shell that will be used to expand command line
parameters when running a custom script. The shell must accept
the `-c' option.
executescript string
This parameter is only used when toexecutescript is set. In
this case, fakebo will execute the command line you specify
here. A `!' in the command line will be replaced by the IP of
the attacker. If you want to insert a literal `!', you have to
type `\!'. You can put here several commands separated by a `;',
like in the shell. Likewise, a `%' will be replaced by the text
`backorifice' or `netbus', depending upon which trojan origi‐
nated the attack.
usecustomreplies boolean
With this you can specify for every BO command a different
answer to the attacker. It's very useful if you want to make him
believe he is doing everything right. Note: if option silent‐
mode is on, this parameter is ignored. See the next section for
details on custom replies.
customrepliespath string
For every client command you can specify a different answer to
the attacker. You just have to make the text file for every
command. The hexadecimal identification of the command is added
to the path. If option usecustomreplies is off, this parameter
doesn't have any effect. If the file for some command cannot be
found, then a generic message is used (message parameter).
tocrackpackets boolean
Try to crack BO packets with password and log encryption key. It
takes less than a second to crack the password on average Pen‐
tium. If you're low on CPU resources you should say no (0) here.
ignorehost string
If set to anything else than "NONE", fakebo will ignore connec‐
tions from the specified host.
userealfakebo boolean
If set, fakebo will use its built-in RealFake(tm) BO server to
properly emulate responses to the BO client, and hopefully
REALLY confuse them... Don't worry, it may look real, but it is
as harmless as a crax0r using a windoze box.
CUSTOM REPLIES
When option usecustomreplies is set in the configuration file and Real‐
FakeBO either fails or is configured out, fakebo will send the contents
of a file in reply to each command. The name of the file is obtained
by appending the hexadecimal value of the command to the prefix speci‐
fied in parameter customrepliespath. For example: let's say you set
customrepliespath to "/etc/fakebo/reply." and you want to have a spe‐
cial answer when the attacker issues the command "get System Informa‐
tion" (hex value 04). Then you just have to write your message in
/etc/fakebo/reply.04... and keep watching the confused attacker. ;-)
Don't forget to make these files readable by the user owning the fakebo
process (user parameter in the configuration file).
