In a perfect world a laptop with both DVI and VGA outputs can power two separate monitors. There would also be less of what appears to be an internationally organized effort to convince me to "impr0ve my manliness" via a constant stream of email. But back in the real world my Inbox is full of spam and my laptop (DELL Inspiron 9400) is limited to one connected monitor on either the DVI or the VGA output. Having convinced myself that a desktop split between the laptop's 1920x1200 17" LCD and a... Read Full Story

One of my co-workers came to me today saying: "I was told that you know all the passwords; what's mine for my e-mail account?" . I replied that I can't tell his password, because no password is stored in plain text, and what is actually stored in the system is it's hash . All I can do is set him a new password if he doesn't remember the current one, and that he'll have to modify his e-mail client's configuration. He acceded to it, toget Read Full Story

Ok I have decided to open up a forums section on the site, since I’m starting to feel the whole blog thing is a little too restrictive for the kind of user interaction I’m looking for. Over the coming days I plan to move most of the articles you can find here on to the forum, leaving this space for my personal blog updates on future projects.
You can find the new forums here if you are interested in visiting.

Orlando a few weeks ago. The CDC was able to implement a very clever solution in short order by using Solaris Containers and ZFS... Read Full Story
There is a lot of information on iptables
(the Linux firewall) out there, but most of them focus on ingress rules.
Unfortunately, in many cases, simply creating ingress rules are insufficient. On systems
you really want to secure, you should also set up egress (outbound) rules to restrict
outbound traffic.
NOTE: The commands in this post assume a Debian-based distribution (e.g., Ubuntu server).
The iptables commands should be the same across distributions, but check your own
distro’s... Read Full Story
