back in late 1999/early 2000, it was pre RedHat 6.0 era, and i’ve been using RedHat 5.2 for almost a year. my RH 5.2 was heavily patched, i upgrade almost everything to become 6.0, even libc recompiled to statisfy some depedency. Gnome 1.0, was still in the very early stage of appearence, Enlightenment was already on 0.16.3 (currently it’s still 0.16.7.2 on my Ubuntu). i put my notes (in Indonesian) on them in my personal site called eworld, and yes, it’s dead now. too bad i don’t keep them, it was lost from my documents when i changed pc several times. i have contacted my former provider to beg for the archive, but they said they didn’t keep it. i feel terrible because i think it is a prove of my desire to blog in the era (i don’t recall term blog ever heard that day).

123 ssh tunneling, LDAP traffic

January 25th, 2007

here is the scenario: i got LDAP host located on an isp in the private network, i got one of my application server (i call it nakula) located on the same ISP and luckily designed to have private ip and public ip. so this one will not have a problem talking to LDAP server. but my other application server (and let’s call this one sadewa) is located on the other side of the world somewhere. these applications heavily dependant on directory entries kept in that LDAP server. nakula has 2 network interface, one is for serving it’s application to public therefore assigned public ip, and the other one is for talking to LDAP server, so private ip assigned to it. the problem is on sadewa, it has no physical connection to my LDAP server.

linux tips: a one liner, who attacked me today?

January 22nd, 2007

i got pretty tight iptables rules set, and all un desired packets are logged through ulog. below is one liner command(s) to check who ‘attacked’ (not exactly attack, there were all un wanted packets actually) me today:

for i in `grep “PROTO=UDP” /var/log/ulog/syslogemu.log | sed “s/^.*SRC=//g” | sed “s/DST=.*$//g” | sort | uniq` ; do echo `grep $i /var/log/ulog/syslogemu.log | wc -l ` ” ” $i >> attacker.txt ; done ; sort -r -n -k 1 attacker.txt > tmp ; mv tmp attacker.txt
