File systems part I – NTFS and FAT32

I collected some facts and specs about windows filesystems. About their limits and security.

Mac-OS has still some problems with writing on NTFS partitions. If you work on windows and MAC you should use FAT-32.

Some answer are given below. Continue reading ‘File systems part I – NTFS and FAT32′

Knock Knock

SSH is by default very strong, and since a long time without critical bugs. It has strong protection against various hacks and known vulnerabilities. For instance SSH has a password retry wait time of (default) five seconds. This makes the time for brute force attacking an SSH-server very long and not effective. However, sometimes script-kiddies will fork their hacking program making multiple processes of the brute force attack. Sometimes they are able to fork it off upwards of 1000 attempts every 5 seconds. This drastically minimizes the time to crack short passwords.

I think SSH is secure enough, but there is always a way to make it more secure.

Install knock daemon:

aptitude install knockd

Debian join windows domain

1. Introduction

I recently was assigned the task of joining a Debian server to a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory domain. Though most of the documentation I read for doing this was rather straightforward, 100% of that documentation turned out to be only 75% useful. While all were easy to follow, at the end of the day I found myself piecing together bits of information from all different sources. Only after deciphering cryptic log messages, consulting my colleagues, and experimenting did I finally have this working. Here I try to provide a complete walkthrough of this joining procedure, paying close attention to the often overlooked details I encountered in my trials.

I use:
Debian squeeze
samba 2:3.2.5-4l
winbind 2:3.2.5-4l
krb5-config 1.22
krb5-user 1.6.dfsg.4
