5 ssh accounts available for 6BTC/Month[CLOSED]

[Nefario]

I can provide 5 ssh accounts on a 64bit Debian Lenny system for 6BTC a month. Can run anything as long as hosting terms are not violated (i.e. no porn, spam etc.)

Bandwidth is "unlimited", that is limited, I'm not too particular but nothing that is badwidth hoggin, i.e. bittorrent.

Servers applications allowed. So whatever you can set up is fine, as long as it's not killing the machine.

No mining. Essentially nothing that would prevent or disrupt other users of the system.

Space provided 3G

Support: Will install most debian lenny packages at request. Other requests can be made.

Questions asnwered here, PM to buy.

[nikonoel]

In which country is the server? Can we use it as a proxy?

[Nefario]

Yes as a proxy, personal vpn is fine, though not as a Tor outproxy. The serever is based in Germany.

[nikonoel]

Great offer but Germany is where I live, which limits my interest in your offer

haha, too bad

I'm interested, can it gpu mine?

[chris200x9]

I'm interested, can it gpu mine?

do we have root privilages i.e can we install anything?

[barwench]

are you doing anything to identify the people you sell the accounts to? I have a machine that I'd give very limited capacity accounts to for half-a-bitcoin per month (500 mBTC?) but I would like to have at least the same rough identity as eg paypal verified payment would give me... I'm interested to know what your take on that is.

[fabianhjr]

I buy them all if you help me set it up on a limited account on OS X. Skype: fabianhjr

Basically you call me, you give me a trial and, if _we_ can set up a tunnel(Low bandwidth/about 500 kbps for browsing) then I buy the 5 ssh accounts for 30 BTC/mo(6 BTC * 5 accounts)

[Nefario]

Sorry no gpu mining, accounts are not root or have no root privaleges. If you can install some software just for yourself then that's fine, i.e. local install. If you need something installed globally then no you can't do that yourself, however I will install most packages/applications on request.

I'm not identifying account holders, make the bitcoin payment, and I'll either email or pm you your account details, as soon as you get them then you change your password to something different. I don't need to know who you are.

fabianhjr:what?

[fabianhjr]

I need tunnels and I need them quick! I dunno if it will work since my school wants to see every single bit we send trough their net.

Here is what I expect from you:
-Get me a short trial to see if it works
-In the case that I cannot set up the tunnel you would help me
-Should neither be able to set up a tunnel I will not drop a cent, else I buy the 5 accounts.

If your school allows HTTPS, you can use Stunnel to get through their filtering.

[Nefario]

Very well, I think I understand where you are going with this.

OK so firstly you need to open a terminal on your mac, more information on the osx terminal here
http://macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2002/12/06/terminal_osx.html
http://macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2001/12/14/terminal_one.html

After opening your terminal you need to set up ssh as a socks proxy, information on how to do this here

http://hackaday.com/2005/08/31/how-to-ssh-http-proxy-setup/

I will pm you your account details, machine ip etc. so you can give it a try.

If the ssh ports are blocked (which they may be) then I will try to sort something else out. Let me know how it goes. Account details pm'd

I would also add that you might use Firefox portable as your web browser with foxyproxy installed to point your browers requests to the ssh socks proxy
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
http://getfoxyproxy.org/

I'm assuming that this is for you and a number of your classmates to get around a schools/colleges firewall/website restrictions?

Also, is there a demand for simple https based proxies accounts? That is for something like 2-3 btc a month and I'll have a https proxy up and running and all you need are the details? If there is demand for this I might go ahead and do this.

Wait! Did I hear something about getting through school filtering? I have my own server, and my school does allow https. Could you tell me how to do this please?

[Nefario]

Stunnel generally

[Ryland R. Taylor-Almanza]

Thank you!

[fabianhjr]

Nefario, no https. It is blocked else I could easily use Google Cache via secure.google.com.

I will try it out and see how it goes.
Testing in progress...

I think if https is blocked then there is a very high chance port 22 is also

[wobber]

Can I do pentest on it? Like playing hackers?

You mean try to break into your own account if you get one?

[barwench]

if people want a fairly low bandwidth tunnel then I can support users on my box, barwen.ch - like I said above, I'd want a payment via verified paypal first to confirm ID, then subsequent months can be in bitcoin - 1USD=1bitcoin, 50 cents (half a bitcoin) per month. Usage limited to 500mb per month, though - that's a fairly big restriction. If you want something bigger, then Nefario's 3 bitcoin suggestion might be more appropriate.

Access is via SSH, which you can tunnel over http (eg using netcat) - once you have that, you can use ssh's -D option to proxy out over SOCKS to wherever.

PM if you're interested.

[grondilu]

I'm interested.

I understand we can't mine, but can we run a bitcoin client?

[Nefario]

I'm interested.

Sure if you can get the client to run.

I'll pm you an account, you can give it a test then let me know what you think.

[grondilu]

I see that you don't run any web server.   Could you, please?

If you don't want to run Apache, please consider installing thttpd, which is pretty easy and fast to install.

Then I guess it would be easy to serve any www directory for each user.

[Nefario]

Users have web directories, yours is here http://109.75.176.245/~grondilu/

Ok, that's cool.  How can I do CGI?

[Nefario]

I will add that tomorrow, I'll try to get you php, python and even Ruby if possible, it's 1:30 am here so I'm not doing it now. Do pay if you'd like to use it.

[Nefario]

There has been very little interest in this. I have also found a need for this server so I am no longer offering this.

I haven't found anyone interested in my 0.50 BTC shells either...

I may have missed that.  Please give me a link.

Do you offer web service with CGI?

[markm]

I too found the barwen.sh offer interesting. I only came upon this thread last night and am still thinking about what exactly I could use such an account for but the price point is certainly very interesting.

Would it be okay to run an IRC bot?

Maybe even one that does nothing other than keep a #channel in existence and op the "real" bots of the channel whenever they come back online. (A placeholder bot not one that people chat to etc.)

You dont need another service, you have one already, I'll give you a cgi directiry. Check after an hour it will be there.

yeah IRC bot is fine. the limits are on resident memory (so as long as your bot is not written in Java, you're probably OK) and bandwidth use and not abusing, rather than specific kinds of programs.

@grondilu: yeah there's CGI. But you aren't going to be able to host "large" things there - Nefario's service is much more appropriate for that.

Ok I want to give this a try.  I've just signed in and mailed you my SSH public key.

set up.

please let me know what you think (good or bad)

Well, my first impression is good.  For instance you have a decent installation of vim, and Ubuntu is much up-to-date than Lenny.

It seems like a good service for this price.

I don't understand exactly how to run cgi.  I've created a cgi-bin directory in my $HOME, and I wrote a small test.cgi, chmod +x it, but which is the url exactly?

I've tried http://s0.barwen.ch/~grondilu/cgi-bin/test.cgi but it doesn't work.

Put that inside your public_html folder rather than root - look at how ~nmapme/ is set up.

Then that's the right URL you have.

That works.  Pretty cool.  Thanks.
