Good to hear 🙂

@stuartjordan said in Handy Linux Utilities:

Why we must warn people not to use non encrypted traffic:
Do Not Use Telnet,Ftp or standard http

Here we will do an arp poison man in the middle attack to see another devices traffic on the same network. when we just had hubs this was easier now we have switches we have to use this method:

apt install wireshark (Graphical) apt install nmap apt install etttercap-text-only (there is a graphical version, this is cli only) sudo nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24 descover hosts IP and mac addresses / pick a host. sudo ettercap -T(txt only) -S(no ssl) -i(interface) wlan0 -M(man in the middle attack) arp:remote /192.168.1.1(router)// //192.168.1.8//(person to attack) sudo wireshark then apply filter ip.addr = 192.168.1.8 obviously cannot see inside encrypted ssl traffic. but we can see plain text packets by applying filter ip.addr == 192.168.1.8 && http save in wireshark as pcap file visit website a-packets.com - generates a report for free. to see telnet as it's clear text use filter = wireshark filter ip.addr = = 192.168.1.8 && telnet

I had a student do this to the student network at my last job. Everybody would complain about slow network in one building but by the time I could go check it, it was fine again. I figured out what he was doing and some switches have stuff built in to combat this (you just have to turn it on).

This thing is not worth the effort being placed into it.

I agree! It was not even worth the effort to even look it up.

@marcinozga said in Resize Linux VM Ext4 File System Proxmox:

I see few issues above.

LVM is not a filesystem. You don't need to shutdown VM to extend its disk size. You don't need to boot from any installer CD to resize partitions, you can do it from within live system with fdisk, although if you have some unusual partition layout you're probably better off doing it offline. You can also extend filesystem on a live system, no need for shutdown.

correct, didn't think properly when I wrote that. Logical volumes can be put into logical groups that could contain pools of hdd's that can be sees as one, can also move space around easier and have snapshots. I had errors when trying to write the new partition layout hence why I used a live CD. Probably could of looked into it more but didn't want to spend forever on it or mess up any partition data.

It's still in development, but we're really excited about it.

Need help testing?

One of my buddies who just bought NVME drives for this purpose, has only been using them for a week and is at 72% life left.

Consumer or enterprise drive? It could simply be bad unit. Although I do hope mining wears the drives that fast. Hardware manufacturer should put a clause in warranty, that mining voids it. What happened with GPU market is just insane, ordinary people get screwed over. Crypto needs heavy regulation or just outright ban.

man, someone doesn't like Crypto.

And what's to like? Mining wastes crazy amounts of energy for some useless calculations. In the end you have what exactly? Some string of characters. But cyber junkies need their fix too I guess.

We'll definitely have to disagree here. Am I happy about the shear amount of power being used to mine BTC? no, I'm not... but currency that's not controlled by the rich and powerful or the government, one that can't be devalued just by them turning the printing presses on? HELL YEAH I'm all for that.

Currency that can be devalued with a few tweets is better?

I love that there are idiots that listen to tweets whether it's buy or sell. When everyones buying I'm selling and vice versa. If you would have bought yesterday you'd be up big time today.

IE was to slow and not was not compiled well IMHO. MS is taking their sweet time killing it off.

@pete-s ah ok, I don't remember it happening as much though.

try the steps listed here:

What is the brand/model of your PBX? What type of service are you using (POTS/T1/E1/SIP)?

Good to know we got a slew of requests for a self-audit back in October, same phone number, all hit our spam filters so we ignored.

@siringo said in Changing subnet mask?:

Inherited an old SBS network which has been upgraded, but is still using the 10.0.0.0 /8 setup.
I was thinking of changing the subnet to /24.

while the old addressing is insane, what's the reason to change? Unless there is a benefit, why? Just reducing the address pool isn't going to buy you anything.

Yes this ^^^ exactly Scott. I'm of the same mind, that's part of why I threw the question out there, I wanted 2nd opinions.

Everything is working fine ATM, why would I want to make an unneccessary change that provided no benefit but could introduce downtime. I susbcribe heavily to the KISS principal, hence my lack of interest in VLANing in this instance.

The only reason I came up with, when thinking about the change is that it may make the environment 'look' more professional by having a more appropriately scoped, network.

Thanks for all the opinions and information it is all greatly appreciated.

Difficult to review working from the phone,.. but interesting-
Not getting line yet though.

@dave247 said in Looking for a good security camera system:

My company has a super old security camera system from like early 2000's. I'm considering purchasing a new system and installing it myself to save us money. Literally anything we could buy (even from Wal-Mart) would be better than what we have. That said, I still want to try and find a nice solid system that has an intelligent and feature-rich user interface and good functionality. I say that because pretty much all the systems I've seen at other jobs have looked and operated like junk.

Basically I need something that would be HD and allow for 25 or more cameras connected via network cable and have a central server that would be located on-prem in the server room.

Any suggestions for where to start looking?

The other guys here can speak to the cameras themselves.

I've used two pieces of software for handling the recordings and such as of late. The first is Avigilon Control Center (https://www.avigilon.com). It's ok, based on Windows, and licensed per camera.

The second, I use personally to handle motion detection from a single camera at home. ZoneMinder (https://www.zoneminder.com/) is Free / Open Source

Cool thanks, I'll take a look at these 🙂

@stuartjordan said in Managing Publicly hosted Linux Servers through Cockpit:

Cockpit looks nice and all that, but the version I tried didn't seem to have as many features or as much control like webmin does.

Tried Cockpit on Ubuntu? If so, you probably been using a old version because the only distro that I know that always has the latest version is Fedora.

Yep I'm a Debian/Ubuntu guy. I could probably add the repository for the latest version to try out if it does have more features. I'm normally straight up do everything through cli but wanted to try it out. then I tried webmin out which I haven't touched in over 8 years. They have defiantly improve things on their panel.

What would suggest today for a gaming PC?
Budget is £700 for just the box. Also any recommendations on specs, daughter wants to play Minecraft, Sub Nautica, Fortnite.
(But i want to be able to play Counter Strike, Modern Warefare (not fussed running at Ultra detail settings) 🙂 )

The only way to easily get any sort of graphics card right now is to buy a pre-built. I haven't even looked at prices in months because the market is so crazy right now.

Yup, getting the GPU is tough and pre-built is typically the only way to get the value.

The "real" solution is to convert into SDI, which is the professional version of HDMI. Think TV station, broadcast cameras and other professional gear.

It uses coax so it's easy to install and put on connectors for whatever length you need. It can handle up to 300ft without any signal degradation. And there are converters for HDMI to SDI and back.

So if the application involves something related to live streaming, video recordings etc you might want to look into SDI. If you're just putting a TV somewhere far away, well then it doesn't matter.

@jaredbusch Do you have to install the remote plugin and login with your gmail account to access the machine though?

I have ConnectWise installed for me.
