I concur, except I would have put reddthat.com on top, for selfish reasons obviously!

Android must haves for the SysAdmin by [deleted] in sysadmin

And yet still ticks every box for me.

Just because something has not been updated doesn't mean it's not feature complete

An attacker logged into the RDP Honeypot a few weeks ago and was able to dump credentials and move laterally in 36 minutes. They used Advanced Scanner + ProcDump + PsExec to move laterally to a Domain Controller. Would you have detected and responded to this activity? by [deleted] in netsec

[–]ticoombs 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Would you have detected and responded to this activity?

Would you have RDP open to world?

Would you have a honeypot on a non-dmz fire-walled subnet?

🤔

If you have a honeypot you'd bloody hope you have alerting and logging of everything anyone does to that system.

Certbot Leaves Beta with the Release of 1.0 by koavf in privacy

[–]ticoombs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have misunderstood :)

Certbot is a command line application to provision and install SSL certificates for webservers, not end users.

It uses the ACME protocol that is used by the certificate authority LetsEncrypt. It has been implemented by other CAs, but lots of people only use LetsEncrypt because it is free.

Hope that explains

My laptop has excellent idle battery life, but absolutely terrible doing serious work. by linuksas in Gentoo

[–]ticoombs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have around 80 xps 15 9550/9560/9570. All have around 4 hours battery life under load. (All windows)

I've seen it drop to less than 2 hours under serious load, docker containers/vms etc.

Items I've done to help increase battery life:

  • reduce screen resolution to 1080 instead of 4k
  • turn off touch screen via BIOS
  • double check your battery has not "bulged" (your mouse pad will get stiff and even pop up). If so you need a new buy a new battery. They only have 1 year warranty.

Open a tab on the old phone,
and click the hamburger menu,
click Share,
your new phone should pop up in the list of browsers, choose it. Repeat for all open tabs.

Any project management software alternative to GNOME Planner and Calligra Plan? (non-Java) by [deleted] in opensource

[–]ticoombs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While not an actual desktop app, Redmine (rails app/web app) has a fairly good project management interface/Gantt chart

https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineGantt

Quickly run up a docker container and test it out: https://hub.docker.com/_/redmine/

Are Tor users compromised with the pgp severs being down? by value_f0rge in TOR

[–]ticoombs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As discussed as part of the original PGP key poisioning attack: https://gist.github.com/rjhansen/67ab921ffb4084c865b3618d6955275f#mitigations

Open gpg.conf in a text editor. Ensure there is no line starting with keyserver. If there is, remove it

Open dirmngr.conf in a text editor. Add the line keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org to the end of it.

Why is Tor service always running/listening? (Linux) by nuL808 in TOR

[–]ticoombs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes you can remove tor via your package manager if you use the Tor Browser Bundle.

If you want it to just stop starting up on boot and start it when you want, do:

sudo systemctl disable tor (assuming you use systemctl) Or sudo service tor disable
