Howto on lynx and using certificates correctly. Updated for 2009.

  • Nsupdate howto for dynamic dns with specific instructions for updating from WindowsXP clients to Bind9 on unix.

  • How to stop ssh attacks. This is a script I use to stop brute force ssh attacks to my NetBSD sshd daemons. It works with ipf; when run in cron once a minute you shut out attackers very effectively. Includes a whitelist check. Not only is this kind of attack annoying and illegal, it can really consume system resources and DOS your system. Solutions that advocate switching to public keys are ignoring these facts. It is important to block brute force attacks as quickly as possible to keep your system available for its real purpose. You can still get DOSed running just with keys.
