  • Configuring a site-to-site VPN between a Sonicwall and Linux Openswan – Mike A. Leonetti – I have had the fortune of having the challenge to set up a site-to-site (or BOVPN/Branch Office VPN) between a Sonicwall and Openswan. I have searched for other articles that cover this topic and found plenty of information that got me far enough to get some of it working. However, getting the whole thing working took quite some time and I found the guides to be incomplete. So for the sake of even my own remembrance, I will write a mini guide up. Of course I will link all of the guides I've used in a references section.
  • VPN Site-to-Site Openswan x ASA (Cisco) – House of Linux – Ladies and gentleman, today I am going to demonstrate how to integrate technologies from different platforms. It is possible to use Cisco to integrate with Windows and Linux using protocol such as LDAP. In this case the communication between Linux and ASA (Adaptive Security Appliances) is straight. We will only need to check the cryptography configuration and that it, the connection is established.

  • WP WAF – WordPress Web Application Firewall | Gianni Amato – Ecco la preview di ciò che inizialmente è nato come IDS per monitorare gli attacchi ai miei blog e man mano cresciuto fino a prendere le sembianze di un IPS.

    WP WAF è un plugin per WordPress (leggero e per nulla invasivo) il cui scopo è quello di bloccare ed eventualmente notificare alla propria casella di posta i dettagli dell’attacco alla piattaforma.

  • MySQL permissions for backup | OpenConcept Mobile Site – It's a really good idea to use a least-privilege approach to most system administration tasks, and especially automated ones. This post describes using a "read only" MySQL user to handle backing up MySQL databases.

    We use mysqldump to backup our databases on a regular basis, using scripts like this one

  • MuckNet » Blog Archive » MySQL Permissions for backup using mysqldump and/or ec2-consistent-snapshot – Using root for your MySQL backups is a bad idea boys and girls. You should dedicate a user to doing your backups. Below are a few options for setting up minimum permissions for your dedicated mysql backup user

  • Create a secure intranet/extranet with TikiWiki and SecurePass – Giuseppe Paternò – […]
    In this market segment, there’s still a need for a secure corporate intranet with the need to exchange private information and files. Collaborative places, such as wikis, are perfect solutions to quickly achieve this goal without spending a fortune. I found TikiWiki (http://www.tiki.org/) to suit best in these environments: while extremely easy to use for an end-user through WYSYWIG editor, the complex permission system allow you to set each page access or even show/hide part of the page to a given group of users, which is unique if compared to other solutions

  • BAT file tips | Alex @ Net – Let's play with BAT files a little. As you may know, BAT files are intended to be run and processed by the MS command processor, named cmd.exe, and the programming language they are created with is very close to BASIC. The early versions of the BAT-files language (which comes from famous Windows ancestor, MS-DOS) were very limited. Nowadays it has more features and a few days ago I created a small collection of interesting tricks, related to BAT file programming. You can check the following examples that demonstrate which execution flow controlling statements BAT-file language has and show their analogs in PHP.
  • 10 Tools To Add Some Spice To Your UNIX Shell Scripts – here are some misconceptions that shell scripts are only for a CLI environment. You can easily use various tools to write GUI and/or network (socket) scripts under KDE or Gnome desktops. Shell scripts can make use of some of the GUI widget (menus, warning boxs, progress bars etc). You can always control the final output, cursor position on screen, various output effects, and so on. With the following tools you can build powerful, interactive, user friendly UNIX / Linux bash shell scripts.

  • Monitor Your Website in Real-Time with Apachetop – How-To Geek – As a webmaster, I’ve often wanted to be able to see real-time hits as they arrive. Sure, Google Analytics is a wonderful package for looking at trends over time, but there’s a delay of a few hours there, and you really can’t see data like requests per second or total bytes.

    This is where the apachetop utility comes in. It’s a very simple command line utility that you can use to monitor traffic real-time. It accomplishes this by parsing the apache logfiles and displaying meaningful output to the screen.

  • Ashwin Jayaprakash’s Blog: The little gem that is BusyBox (for Windows) – As a Windows user (no shame) I have, for years searched for a simple GNU-like toolkit – grep, awk, tail and other such goodies enjoyed by Linux users. Yes, there's Cygwin but it's a beast – too big and a pain to install. Sometimes, I've even resorted to starting a Linux VMWare image just to run a simple awk script to munge some log files.

  • 20+ .htaccess Hacks Every Web Developer Should Know About | DevMoose – […] Apache's .htaccess(hypertext access) configuration file can be a very powerful tool in a web developer's toolkit if used properly. It can be found in the webroot of your server and can be easily edited using any text editor. In this article I'm going to show you 20 .htaccess hacks and how to use them.<br />
    Before I start with this article I'd like to start by saying that abusing the .htaccess file will hurt the performance of your website. The .htaccess file should only be used if you have no other way to achieve certain things.<br />
    Make sure to back up your current .htaccess file before applying any of the following hacks. […]<br />

  • Keeping an eye on TSM volumes – […] I wrote a quick script which tells me when volumes in TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) have access and/or media issues and shoots me off an email. The script does two things:<br />
    1) Checks for volumes which are NOT in the states READWRITE or OFFSITE.<br />
    2) Checks for volumes which have a read/write error count >0.<br />
    I’m sure that most people running TSM in their environment have some sort of daily reporting that gets sent out. If that’s the case, you can simply extract the SQL from the script and use it in your own reporting tools.<br />

  • AixErrorLogCustomization < AIS < TWiki – AIX has a very flexible error logging daemon to log hardware and software errors. The log is typically accessed with the errpt command.
    Unfortunately, checking the log is a manual process. Using some custom ODM entries, we can cause AIX to run commands in response to errors, which can then be used for notification.
    Below I document a simple configuration which uses the ODM to log each error entry to syslog, and forward the complete entry via email.
  • c99madshell Security Review – Derek Fountain – A friend of mine got hacked recently. Some charming person managed to upload a rogue file to his server and replaced some of the software executables he produces with versions containing trojans and viruses.
