[2003-08-22] Will Pair Programming Really Improve Your Project?
This article is an excerpt from Chapter 6 of the book Extreme Programming Refactored: The Case Against XP [1], by Matt Stephens and Doug Rosenberg. The book provides an entertaining look at some of the flaws behind Extreme Programming (XP), whilst suggesting some alternative strategies and practical techniques to achieve XP's agile goals in a more rigorous way.
[2003-08-19] Detecting and Understanding rootkits - an Introduction and just a little bit more
Well, well, well. You have installed the latest Linux distribution and stopped all unnecessary services. You also set-up a set of Netfilter rules that would make the Pentagon Security Department envy you. You drool with delight.
[2003-08-15] RedHat and USB devices
I started to use RedHat 7.3. Although it has come a long way and I really like how all the Linux Distributions are turning out, RedHat 7.3 makes me mad for only a few reasons:
[2003-08-15] Sniffing with Net::Cap to stealthily managing iptables rules remotely, Part 1
In our saga that began several weeks ago, we're trying to create a firewall setup that allows no inbound access by default that can be modified remotely to allow a small window of inbound SSH connectivity. Remember that this machine must have no inbound TCP ports accessible to pass muster with the Windows-biased IT administrators, yet we want to allow inbound SSH dynamically when needed.[1]
[2003-08-07] Administer Linux on the fly
The /proc filesystem is one of Linux's great features, and this article gives you a thorough grounding in some of its most useful aspects. With it, you can administer many details of the operating system without ever having to shut down and reboot the machine, which is a boon for those who need to keep their systems as available as possible.
[2003-08-06] Building A Linux Router
Building a reliable, full-featured broadband router can be very easy and cost-efficient. This article is about building one for routing a LAN to the Internet with NAT (Network Address Translation -- Linux users also call it as IP Masquerading) using an old computer and a Linux micro-distribution designed to have very low hardware requirements. We'll end up having a very simple and stable system, yet featuring e.g. iptables based stateful firewalling and remote administration.
[2003-08-05] Overview of the RHCE
If the company Red Hat has its way, its Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) credential will eventually replace Microsoft's MCSE certification as king of the network operating system hill.
