  • Debian Clusters – This site is a series of step-by-step tutorials for anyone interested in building a Debian cluster. It is geared particularly towards those interested in a Debian cluster for education or research purposes. This site is being written alongside the construction of a real Debian cluster at my institute, starting from the ground (basic networking, DHCP, DNS, authentication) up through installation a queue/scheduler and scientific software.

    However, these tutorials and guides take some assumptions about users for granted, including basic Linux and Debian knowledge (see the Basic Linux Skills page for clarification and pointers to resources). This is not meant as an introduction to Debian or on how to cluster in general – thankfully, there are plenty of helpful tutorials and guides already in existence on those topics. A basic understanding of Debian and cluster technology will aid in following the tutorials.

  • 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.
  • Linux Commands – SkullSecurity – Recon, scanning, exploitation and password from comman line in linux (netcat, metasploit, etc)
  • Windows Commands – SkullSecurity – Recon, scanning and exploitation in a windows command line

  • 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.

  • PHP and AJAX shell console – Ever wanted to execute commands on your server through php to mimick a shell login? Now you can. I'm calling this file (see below) shell.php and it allows you to run commands on your web server with the same permissions that your php executable has.

  • 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
