Creating and Using a self signed SSL Certificates in debian

This document covers a very specific, limited purpose, but one that meets a common need: preventing browser, mail, and other clients from complaining about the certificates installed on your server. Not covered is dealing with a commercial root certificate authority (CA). Instead, we will become our own root CA, and sign our own certificates. (These procedures were developed using OpenSSL 0.9.6.)
Sophos recommends enabling the MTA-level IP Blocker as part of an overall strategy to optimize PureMessage performance. If you want to authenticate connections using SMTP-AUTH while MTA-level blocking is enabled, you must modify PureMessage Postfix (SMTP-AUTH is not supported for external Postfix installations nor for any version of sendmail). When configured as described below, your system permits access for any IP address contained in the $mynetworks parameter, and then checks to see if it's an authenticated connection. If authentication is successful, messages are delivered without further testing. If authentication fails, messages are passed along to the MTA IP Blocker to begin testing. Since SMTP-AUTH alone is not secure (it sends usernames and passwords over the internet in plain text format), it is recommended that you use SMTP-AUTH in conjunction with Transport Layer Security (TLS), so that this information is encrypted. http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/40280.aspx

http://www.zaphu.com/2008/01/04/use-ssh-to-create-secure-tunnels-for-file-transfers-sftp-remote-desktop-vnc-subversion-svn-and-firefox-traffic/ This guide will show you how to access a computer located on your home network from outside of your local area network. For the purposes of this guide, let’s assume we are trying to access a HOME SERVER such as a Mac Mini located on your home WiFi router. The home computer could just as easily be a Ubuntu , or similarly flavored Linux machine. The first thing that we will need to do is determine your home IP address, and then we will setup port forwarding on your wireless router. Keep reading to get started with this process or go here to learn how a SSH Tunnel works. The easiest way to determine your outside IP address is by visiting a site such as www.whatismyip.com .

Searching for the QoS Holy Grail

http://www.networkworld.com/reviews/2002/0603rev.html With the convergence of voice, video and data in enterprise networks, and the increasing need to cut travel costs, both voice over IP and videoconferencing are becoming increasingly important. When coupled with the ever-present requirement that critical enterprise applications perform at their best, even in a fiscally tight environment, the days of "best effort" service are rapidly disappearing. Quality of service (QoS) is actually an ad hoc collection of technologies and techniques.

Using PAM to Block Brute Force Attacks

The idea to use PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules for Linux) to block brute force attacks sounds like a good idea, right? After all, we are using PAM for most of the authentications mechanisms, so adding a module to check against repeated failures would be great. Surprisingly even if this sounded like something normal, I found only one PAM module that was written for this purpose. This is called pam_abl and you can find it here: http://hexten.net/pam_abl In order to use pam_abl we first need to install it on our system. http://www.ducea.com/2006/06/29/using-pam-to-block-brute-force-attacks/
In the previous article of this series, we started reviewing high availability and scalability enhancements in SQL Server 2005 (based on its recent Beta 2 release) by discussing database mirroring. In this article, we will continue exploring the same area of functionality, shifting our attention to failover clustering. We will also provide comparison of both features, which should help in recognizing the types of scenarios for which each of them is better suited. Failover clustering has been supported since SQL Server 7.0 so it is not surprising that its latest implementation is a combination of already familiar (and stable) technology with a number of useful improvements. http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3444181/SQL-Server-2005-Part-3---High-Availability-and-Scalability-Enhancements---Failover-Clustering.htm

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7712 Unison is a file-synchronization tool that runs on Linux, UNIX and Microsoft Windows. Those of you who've used IBM Lotus Notes or Intellisync Mobile Suite probably have an idea of what synchronization is good for, as compared to one-way mirroring options such as rsync. You might have mirrored a company document directory to your laptop, for example, and then modified a document or two. Other people might have modified other documents in the same directory by the time you get back. With rsync, you'd need to reconcile the differences between the two directories manually or risk overwriting someone's changes.

Generating an SSL Certificate with Apache+mod_ssl

Introduction This document is intended to be a quick guide to generating and installing an SSL certificate on an Apache web server with the mod_ssl module. While this is not an overly difficult process, it does involve running several long commands with numerous options. This document should be all that you need to walk you through the process of generating the certificate and installing it in your web server. This document does not attempt to discuss compiling or installing Apache and mod_ssl. For detailed instructions on that topic, please see "Building Apache with mod_ssl and Other Modules" .

Instructions for getting around blocking software

How to install the Circumventor program, which gets around all Web-blocking software Bennett Haselton This page describes how to install the "Circumventor" program, which can be used to get around all Web blocking programs. However, Please Note!! You don't actually install the Circumventor on the computer that is blocked from accessing Web sites.
