Re: [nlug] Capturing a phone call's true origin

I'm getting a few of those kinds of calls per day, and it appears to be that the criminals are failing at handing off the successful connection to a person on their end, which I suspect is just a nasty way of wasting *their* resources since they won't stop making fraudulent calls. I finally just s

[nlug] (not) Proxy ARP and ipsec

2020-09-07 Thread Dagmar d'Surreal
So, I'm in the middle of trying to get a freakin' ipsec gateway working, and I've run into an ugly problem. It *appears* that the functionality of publishing arbitrary ARP responses has been changed and is now shunted through proxy ARP. Backstory: Ipsec can be coerced (with much swearing) into ha

That's really asking for a lot of stuff for free, but iRedMail would be a great flying start for the self-hosting route, since it already sets up SpamAssassin and ClamAV. RoundCube with the option of SOGo is nice, too. On Thu, Dec 19, 2019 at 9:18 PM Andrew Farnsworth wrote: > Hey everyone, >

When in doubt, do like the kernel devs do. ` diff -urN olddir newdir` and feel free to have your directory names include version numbers, even if they have to end in "-patched" or something. This just plain makes it easier for other people to apply the patches you made. On Tue, Sep 22, 2015 at 6:

I don't think the RPi really counts as an "embedded platform" in this respect. It may be small in size, but beyond that it's a pretty full-featured platform. More power in them than the first thing I had on a nailed up internet connection. On Sat, Aug 22, 2015 at 2:44 PM, Sam Walton wrote: > Y

Those services you mentioned in the initial post are as useful for preventing break-ins as fire insurance is for preventing fires. Sitelock at least provides vulnerability scans, but if it turns something up (like a recently-published vulnerability in cPanel), to extend the above metaphor further,

This problem is in two parts: 1. You seem to be under the assumption that MythBuntu's installation is supposed to "work". From what I can tell, they're taking a completely agnostic approach to production configuration--since they can't satisfy everyone, they don't even try to accommodate a basic

Well then, go *install* it. There's a menu item under Settings -> Security that allows you to import certs from storage. Note that you're likely to be required to assign a PIN code lock to the phone before it'll allow this. On Thu, Jul 23, 2015 at 6:06 PM, Paul Boniol wrote: > Appears I had to

Do not rely on those iptables rules. They are fragile at best and trivially evaded. It is not safe to assume that the marker will appear at a specific position in the packet (this is a *bad* way to even attempt stateful inspection). I don't know a damn thing about Wireshark syntax, but it could

Oh, the problem with relying on adduser/useradd is that they're not always the same (or present!) on all distros. If you know what's supposed to go into passwd & shadow and the various restrictions required, such an event won't slow you down more than the time it takes to blink twice. -- You rec
