Merged Annvix.org with linsec.ca
So today I spent a lot of time manually merging the annvix.org mediawiki data into my linsec.ca wiki (in a new Annvix namespace). There are some various automated tools and mediawiki import/export stuff, but I didn’t have a lot in terms of pages so taking a few hours to do this manually was no big [...]
AIDE+gpg 1.0.4 released
I’ve just released AIDE+gpg 1.0.4, which adds support for signing and verifying signatures on the AIDE binary itself (/usr/sbin/aide), and on the AIDE configuration file (/etc/aide.conf). Thanks to George Notaras for giving me the suggestion. Apparently someone other than myself uses these scripts. =) AIDE+gpg is a set of scripts to make AIDE more like [...]
AIDE+gpg 1.0.2 released
As part of my work migrating to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, I found that AIDE+gpg does not work with GnuPG2 (previously, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Annvix only used GnuPG version 1). The AIDE+gpg scripts now work with GnuPG version 2, and a new version is available from the AIDE+gpg project page. I [...]
runit and supervised services on RHEL/CentOS 5
I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but I maintain a repository of packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (arguably these could/should be in EPEL but I’ve not had time to get into the Fedora side of things as of yet… someone will beat me with a wet noodle, no doubt). It’s a very small [...]
Monitor your system for threats with rsec alerts
This week’s TechMail is Monitor your system for threats with rsec alerts which discusses the rsec tool I forked from Mandriva’s msec years ago (for Annvix). It’s been updated and is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (and CentOS 5) as I think it’s still a pretty good tool and complements stuff like logwatch [...]
The return of Annvix
Well, sort of. Annvix is not coming back as an operating system like it used to be, but rather a repository of packages for RHEL/CentOS (currently just version 5). There is very little there right now: a new version of openssh and a new version of logwatch. It will increase as time permits. I do [...]
