A security auditor for our servers has demanded the following within two weeks:
- A list of current usernames and plain-text passwords for all user accounts on all servers
- A list of all password changes for the past six months, again in plain-text
- A list of "every file added to the server from remote devices" in the past six months
- The public and private keys of any SSH keys
- An email sent to him every time a user changes their password, containing the plain text password
We're running Red Hat Linux 5/6 and CentOS 5 boxes with LDAP authentication.
As far as I'm aware, everything on that list is either impossible or incredibly difficult to get, but if I don't provide this information we face losing access to our payments platform and losing income during a transition period as we move to a new service. Any suggestions for how I can solve or fake this information? //
ask him directly how to execute his requirements -- admit you don't know how, and would like to leverage his experience. Once you're out and gone, a response to his "I have over 10 years experience in security auditing" would be "no, you have 5 minutes of experience repeated hundreds of times".
