Introduction It’s surprising how many old-school, mainframe-style shell applications are still powering critical systems today. Once you’ve worked with one, you start spotting them everywhere—tuck...
Introduction to SSH Authentication Keys SSH keys are simple to create and are usually one of the first tools Linux administrators learn to use. They provide a secure, passwordless method to access...
Introduction When I first encountered the idea of tunneling SSH traffic over Tor, two things came to mind: it sounded incredibly cool—and frustratingly complex. There was also a sense that it migh...
Introduction In a previous phase of this robotics project, Suricata was installed as part of the initial system build. At that stage, only a few basic rules were added for initial monitoring purpo...
What Is a Jump Server (or Bastion Host)? If you’re running multiple Linux servers in your homelab or a small network, having a centralized way to access them can save a lot of time and improve sec...
