Debian

The latest release of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) was published last week.

Tons of improvements made their way into the ansible-hardening role in preparation for the OpenStack Pike release next month.

I merged some initial Debian support into the openstack-ansible-security role and ran into an issue enabling AppArmor.

The blog posts have slowed down a bit lately because I’ve been heads down on a security project at work.

One of the first tools I learned about after working with Red Hat was sysstat.

While using a Dell R720 at work today, we stumbled upon a problem where the predictable network device naming with systemd gave us some unpredictable results.

We’re all familiar with live booting Linux distributions.

Forwarding X over ssh is normally fairly straightforward when you have the correct packages installed.

My work at Rackspace has involved working with a bunch of Debian chroots lately.

It seems like everyone is embracing systemd these days.

If you want your iptables rules automatically loaded every time your networking comes up on your Debian or Ubuntu server, you can follow these easy steps.

I’ve tested this Debian etch to lenny upgrade process a few times so far, and it seems to be working well.
