microsoft knows DNS
Saturday, January 27th, 02001Microsoft's DNS was DOSed this week. As if MS has a clue about the present or the future. Basically, they put all their DNS eggs in one basket or in a real terms the same network. A DOS attack on the single network that hosted their DNS servers then took out all name resolution for a whole bunch of MS sites... even sites not hosted on the network effected by the DOS attack. Brilliant. Will anyone trust MS to host their applications with .NET? I won't.
Intrusion detection
Thursday, January 25th, 02001Me on NPR
Tuesday, January 23rd, 02001I got about 10 seconds of air-time on NPR's All Things Considered on February 29, 2000.
Much more interesting than what I had to say in the story 'Computer Use', was the number of friends from around the country that heard the story and contacted me to express their enjoyment.
depressing
Tuesday, January 23rd, 02001There's nothing more depressing than a convinece store / gas station at dawn.
cold
Tuesday, January 23rd, 02001Day 3 of a nasty cold. I hope I feel better tomorrow.
IPSec
Monday, January 22nd, 02001I've been playing with IPSec and Linux FreeS/WAN.
Related only through a tangent, John Glimore has some interesting information on his homepage.
more OpenSSH
Wednesday, January 10th, 02001more stuff to get OpenSSH with DSA working smoothly:
on the client side, set /usr/local/etc/ssh_config to try version 2
first...
Host * Protocol 2,1
and on the GNOME front:
(as root):
rm /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/default ln -s /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Gnome /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/default
Now as me create a ~/.gnomerc like:
eval `/usr/local/bin/ssh-agent` #/usr/local/bin/ssh-add $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa /usr/bin/gnome-session
I still gotta get the ssh-add bit working with a X prompter..
not too bad though, I simply alias sa='/usr/local/bin/ssh-add
$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa' and type sa whenever I need to
add a key to ssh-agent.
ssh with DSA auth
Wednesday, January 10th, 02001OpenSSH with DSA auth:
$ ssh-keygen -d -b 1024 -C \"who@whatmachine.com\" $ scp ~.ssh/id_dsa.pub machine_i_want_to_login_to:$HOME $ ssh machine_i_want_to_login_to $ cat id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 $ logout $ ssh -2 machine_i_want_to_login_to
also make certain that machine_i_want_to_login_to has
HostDSAKey /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
in /usr/local/etc/sshd_config
hmmn?
Monday, January 1st, 02001It's been a *very* long time since I've put anything into this weblog. My new year's resolution: Write in my weblog at least once a week.
