    Hak5 Episode Links

    That sounds like a great idea. I would definitely download and seed those torrents and I'm sure others would be interested too.

    I will create the torrents for each season and post them here in the next few days. I will try to group the HakTips into groups of 10... depending on how lazy I am at the time. :)

    I was only going to do the torrents if there was interest from anyone, if not I won't.

    If you end up creating the torrents, I would create one torrent per finished season. Post the links here and I will add them to the first post.

    Cheers,

    They should be indexed by topic. Which ones go with the pineapple? Which ones with the rubber duck? etc

    If you want to group the episodes into topics, Ill be happy to put that in the top post. I know a lot of people would find that useful.

    I think associating 2-3 #hashtags with every episode would be a good start. Maybe we can get a wiki page started, like "list of hak5 episodes" and it would have all seasons with summaries for each episode. The Hak5 wiki would be great for this.

    Cheers,

    Proxmox 2.0 Deployed Opinion

    in Business and Enterprise IT

    Posted

    I just deployed a proxmox cluster at a well known university. I had been using it since 1.8 when I saw the episode on Hak5. I must say that proxmox 2.0 is a huge improvement over 1.9.

    Right now I share out the VM directory via NFS over a bonded gig connection, yielding 220 MB/s.

    Does anyone else use Proxmox in their business? I would love to hear everyone elses experience with it.

    Cheers,

    Student Claims To Have Hacked Our Network

    Check the logs for your samba server. See if you can find any connection that isn't 'normal'. Just guessing isn't going to get you anywhere and always remember that just because a student said he can get access to sensative files doesn't mean he/she actually did. It would be nice if you knew the exact time or at least what day the student accessed the shares, that would give you a smaller range in which to look for the access. Because if the share is misconfigured and he accessed it with his account, his account would still show up in the access logs... I think.

    Aside:

    You can't always rule out access to the command line just because you blocked access to it. Back when I was in high school they used AD for authentication and deep freeze. I was able to gain local admin on any machine by running a .bat file from within a .zip.

    1.) create a txt file with the following.

    @echo off

    command.com

    2.) save it as mycmd.bat

    3.) create a zip file and copy mycmd.bat into the zip file

    4.) open the zip file and run mycmd.bat

    5.) you should now have a command prompt at C:\Windows\system32

    6.) run: 'control userpasswords2'

    7.) you can now change the password of any admin account, along with creating a new account for your self. This account survives a reboot.

    8.) reboot and login as admin.

    This is what you get when your networking teacher doesn't teach anything. Bored students who want to have a little fun.

    I uploaded seasons 1 & 2 of the show on mediafire:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?jb0xba4hh5041
http://www.mediafire.com/?z11xl7wxxhsc5

    I couldn't get any of the wuala links to work!

    Thanks for letting me know guys. I will see what I can do about getting the episodes I have in a more permanent place.

    I will look into how much bandwidth I am able to use at my hosting company. I can upload them there. Unless the Hak5 or Rev3 crew are willing to re-up them.

    Phil

    Update: Just upped season 1-3 to my server I should be able to provide download links in a few days now.

    Its nice to see Matt working on a podcast again. I think the idea is pretty good if they can get the community behind it. I will definitely follow his show closely. Heck, I might even submit something. :)

    Honestly, I think they should try to leverage the Hak5 community.

    And as Matt said in the first episode they should focus on more complex topics. I know Matt's expertise in the IT field, vmware and such, was of great interest to me while he was on Hak5.

    Episode 7x18

    I just wanted to weigh in my 2 cents. I actually bought the Jetway motherboard mentioned earlier in this post (http://cgi.ebay.ca/Jetway-NC92-330-LF-Intel-Atom-330-Mini-ITX-MB-3x-GBLAN-/400053320685?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motherboards&hash=item5d25093bed).

    It works great! I have untangle running on it right now as a transparent bridge filtering some network traffic and running as a web cache. The only problem I have with this motherboard is that the NIC's are not supported by Smoothwall. I tried installing and Smoothwall did not recognize any NIC's. pfsense worked great, but I don't know enough to configure it properly. I think it just opened my network up to the outside world. :P

    Anyway this board is the definitely the way to go!

    Ubuntu Server Disk Partition Tool

    in Questions

    Posted

    Why would you want to format the disk you are currently using?

    I would assume it would work fine if you are trying to format disks that don't contain the operating system.

    Because i was testing this in a VM with only one disk. But yeah I would assume this tool would work as long as it doesn't unmount the drive that the OS is install on.

    Did it work?

    Lol nope.

    heres what I did:

    1. Fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04.

    2. apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get autoremove

    3. apt-get install ubiquity

    4. partman

    -> this looked like it was going to launch the partitioner but it ended up quitting.

    5. dropped to root and ran it again. It actually launched and asked if it should unmount the partitions that are in use. I didnt continue any further because I assume that as soon as I unmount the OS partition which would therefore break partman because it was just running off of said partition.

    6. Selected no to NOT unmount used partitions.

    7. Here it gets tricky, the utility thinks its still part of the installer so it will ask you to auto partition your disk.

    8. select manual, and heres what happened:

    Authentication Backend For Use With Linux, Mac, And Windows

    in Business and Enterprise IT

    Posted

    If you could could start from scratch how would you implement authentication with user profile folders on a network that needs to support linux (70%), mac (29%), and windows (1%) pcs.

    I was thinking about starting with an LDAP master and having to slave nodes (one using open directory and the other active directory) to be able to take advantage of some management features for mac and windows.

    - Is this worth doing?

    Assuming you would choose LDAP, I have found the setup on linux to be a bit confusing, having not worked with LDAP at all.

    - Would you know where I could find some good documentation on LDAP? (sites or books)

    - Are some automated installers, that will walk you through a basic setup?

    - Do you know of any good management tools to use? mac or linux preferred.

    As far as roaming profile or h:drives are concerned. I'm not sure how I would want to implement those. It would be nice to be able to login to any linux box and get the desktop just how you like it, same with the Mac. But I don't mind just mounting a central storage location to the users /home/$profile directory. So at least they will always have access to their files. 95% of the macs are self administered at this point anyways.

    - Thoughts?

    Does anyone have any experience/knowledge on migrating NIS to LDAP? If so do you have any tips?

    I know darren says eff ldap? Would you recommend anything else? I was considering open directory, but until I can run it in ESXi without hacking the crap out of it, I will need to stick to something that I can actually rack mount. ;)

    Thank you in advance, I appreciate any incite you would be able to give me!
