My ex is coming after me again for more money so I went to my QNAP drive for my archived records and saw most of the files had this .muhstik at the end of the file. I tried to open the file and the computer doesn't know what application to open .muhstik type files with. You can't do anything with these files since they are "encrypted" (so just give up trying to rename or use malware or antivirus programs. I've tried with no success) So somehow the Ransomware has infected the QNAP (which mind you its typically just QNAPs, not found on other NAS devices, just QNAP which makes me thin

I'm currently using some syslog-ng servers as a collector(destination) for my F5 devices logs and then Splunk reads those syslog-ng servers and ingests the data. Well as you can imagine, these files get pretty huge on these syslog-ng servers and if you don't keep your eye on it the /logs/ directory/partition gets full on our redhat Linux servers. So the best solution is to run a job daily to remove files older than two days and how I do that is shown here. First you identify the directory and in my case its /logs/ Next you determine how old do you want to keep the files and in my c

First I want to mention I installed Linux Mint 19 on a Mac running Catalina (10.15.5) using Parallels Desktop 15 for Mac Pro Edition and it would not update no matter what we did. Aptitude repositories would not install no matter what. After messing with all the suggestions from multiple forums I gave up and went to reliable Ubuntu (the god father of Linux.. lol). It is always reliable and works no matter if I install it on a laptop, virtual machine or a server. Reason I don't like Ubuntu is the bloatware.. just seems slower than other distro's but when it always works you wonder why you

First it would be helpful to get a list of users that are already on your Linux box. Get a List of All Users using the /etc/passwd File Local user information is stored in the /etc/passwd file. Each line in this file represents login information for one user. less /etc/passwd Below is an example $ less /etc/passwd root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/sbin/nologin daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/sbin/nologin adm:x:3:4:adm:/var/adm:/sbin/nologin lp:x:4:7:lp:/var/spool/lpd:/sbin/nologin sync:x:5:0:sync:/sbin:/bin/sync shutdown:x:6:0:shutdown:/sbin:/sbin/shutdown halt

Pre-Req that you have openssl installed on your linux box. I utilize Centos 7 but you can use any Linux distribution you prefer. Let's first discuss the different formats PEM Format The PEM format is the most common format that Certificate Authorities issue certificates in. PEM certificates usually have extentions such as .pem, .crt, .cer, and .key. They are Base64 encoded ASCII files and contain "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" statements. Server certificates, intermediate certificates, and private keys can all be put into the PEM format. Apache

I have a need to create some PFX files from our cert and key. Does anyone know how to do this?

This is a topic I need help on. So starting a topic that I'll post what I find and experience during my discovery of Linux Containers. First I can start off by describing to you what a Linux Container is and why I'm interested. Linux containers are technologies that allow you to package and isolate applications with their entire runtime environment—all of the files necessary to run. This makes it easy to move the contained application between environments (dev, test, production, etc.) while retaining full functionality. Both full machine virtualization and containers have the

A small issue when setting up proxy access for installing software (apt-get) or performing wget/curl operations through the proxies. This typically requires you to perform an export command as shown below. export https_proxy=http://username:[email protected]:80/ export http_proxy=http://username:[email protected]:80/ This command goes into your history and anyone that can access your history file or walks up to your pc when logging in and not locked to the jump box can dump your history and get your AD creds. I’ve been killing my entire history
