It’s been a while since my last post, but unfurtunetly sometimes things don’t go how we plan, and the less you pay attention to something, more likely you put aside that thing, and that was what happened with dbugs.org.

SSH on Window$.. .the smart way!
September 29th, 2007 — CLI, hacks, ssh, windows
This will be a quick one… Do you use Linux over the command-line? Do you access remotely these machines using SSH? Are you sitting in front of a Windows computer? If your answers were yes to all three, I’m going to assume that you know the Putty software, and you already use it.. Now lets learn how to use it… the smart way!

Lock down! SSH lock down!
August 29th, 2007 — CLI, Tutorial, ssh
Everybody that uses Linux, one way or another, will be using the command line for admin. Sure you can have those graphical tools to do the job, but there is nothing like the command line for this. And if you manage a couple of remote machines, the only way you can get with this, is using the command line via SSH. Although this is a discussed subject, I went to a few steps the other day, on a personal remote server, to improve SSH security, to a level I can sleep good at night. So let me show you what I did… Continue reading →

In that post, i pointed out, that, to give that final “spy” touch, I’ve created a encrypted image, which I dropped inside the hard drive, for security of my data. Theres is a very simple way to do this in Mac OS X, and it’s a good way to keep your data safe, for example, inside a USB pen drive. So let’s get started!

Digital Backups Using GMail Storage – theory
August 13th, 2007 — LVM, Linux, backups, dbugs, gmail, hacks, theory
In the past few weeks, I have been dreaming with something that I know is not very practical to do or implement, but in fact, it could be a challenge and a fun thing to look into to.
What I propose here in theory is to combine a series of tools, to create a rather unique backup solution. What I suggest, is using tools like RAID, LVM, rsync with incremental backups… OK, you might be thinking: “but this is normal stuff”. Now let’s add the twist! Put these tools to work, using Gmail accounts, and you can begin imagining what I have in mind! Continue reading →
