server

A little over two years ago I was hacked. Someone broke into a web server I was administrating that had only Apache and OpenSSH running publically, and all packages were up-to-date. The hacker replaced my ps binary with his own to hide his processes, added a new service that was executed from the binary " /bin/crond " (the space is intentional - it makes it look like a normal and an expected process in a running-processes listing and a normal binary in a directory listing). http://linuxgazette.net/106/odonovan.html

Fix a Frozen System with the Magic SysRq Keys

http://fosswire.com/post/2007/09/fix-a-frozen-system-with-the-magic-sysrq-keys/ You finally got your Linux environment to crash. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does nothing, nor do the F-keys . You know you shouldn't have installed that bad driver, but you did it anyway . Mashing in the power button to reboot could cause a problem if your hard drive is still being written to, and usually causes more problems than it solves. The Linux kernel includes a secret method of restarting your PC should it ever stop doing its job. What the individual keys do in that sequence are not as important as what it does as a whole: stops all programs, unmounts all drives, and reboots.

In this tip I will tell you how to: Why is this smart? Because you can then share the same vimrc on all platforms, i.e. when updating your vimrc you don't have to set that you're on window, unix or mac.

HOWTO: ipw3945 connecting to a University Network (802.1x / PEAP

I tried the connection setup and it works half way. The config file does not seem to work. It could be that I error ed in setting up the config file. I have found that I can get a connection using network-manager that can be added to your system. It is not the manager that ubuntu uses as default, you have to add network-manager and disable the connections through the default manager so that this application can access the network card. If you do not disable the network card, network-manger will not be able to use/see the network card. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249654

This guide shows how you can create a Live-CD from your Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon or Linux Mint 4.0 system with a tool called remastersys. Remastersys is available in the Linux Mint romeo repository. You can customize your Ubuntu/Linux Mint system and then let remastersys create an iso image of it which you can then burn onto a CD/DVD. http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-linux-mint-livecd-with-remastersys
