Securing the Pi-hole with fail2ban to prevent DNS Amplification attacks

Securing the Pi-hole with fail2ban to prevent DNS Amplification attacks   1. Install fail2ban  sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install fail2ban 2. create jail file vi /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/pihole-dns.conf [pihole-dns] enabled = true port     = 53 action   = %(banaction)s[name=%(__name__)s-tcp, port="%(port)s", protocol="tcp", chain="%(chain)s", actname=%(banaction)s-tcp]            %(banaction)s[name=%(__name__)s-udp, port="%(port)s", protocol="udp", chain="%(chain)s", actname=%(banaction)s-udp] logpath = /var/log/pihole.log findtime = 60 maxretry = 5 bantime = 3600   3. create filter file vi /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/pihole-dns.conf # Fail2Ban configuration file # # script from www.marek.tokyo # [INCLUDES] # Read common prefixes.

Python pxssh failed on login. could not set shell prompt

Python pxssh failed on login. could not set shell prompt  probably pxssh cannot find right prompt so it is better to setup original prompt s.prompt() and don`t forget to setup auto_prompt_reset = False from pexpect import pxssh import getpass try : s = pxssh . pxssh ( timeout = 60 ) s . force_password = True hostname = raw_imput ( 'hostname: ' ) username = raw_input ( 'password: ' ) password = getpass . getpass ( 'password: ' ) s .

Differences between gz, bzip2, xz, 7z, rar, lzop

  Differences between gz, bzip2, xz, 7z, rar, lzop Gzip and bzip2, as well as xz and lzop, are functionally equivalent.  (There once was a bzip, but it seems to have completely vanished off the face of the world.)  Other common compression formats are zip, rar and 7z; these three do both compression and archiving (packing multiple files into one).  Here are some typical ratings in terms of speed, availability and typical compression ratio  (note that these ratings are somewhat subjective, don't take them as gospel): decompression speed (fast > slow): lzop > gzip, zip > xz > 7z > rar > bzip2 compression speed (fast > slow): lzop > gzip, zip > xz > bzip2 > 7z > rar compression ratio (better > worse): xz > 7z > rar, bzip2 > gzip > zip > lzop availability (unix) : gzip > bzip2 > xz > lzop > zip > 7z > rar availab...
