I’m not the only one storing tech gadgets in flight cases (:

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/05

It was about 2 years ago that Jilles reminded me I had a flight case with gadgets too.

Back when I assembled it in 2018, I had big plans for showing private “cloud” container experimentation and gadget stuff at conferences. Then 2019 kicked in with rectum cancer.

So it was good that he helped me motivating to get it working again, especially as the time around assembling it so much fun and working on it brought back those days.

Here are the pictures:

Looking for maintainer(s) for fritzcap (Python project that captures calls from a Fritz!Box)

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/12

Given my health uncertainty, I am looking for maintainers for the fritzcap project (it captures calls from a Fritz!Box modem/router and is written in Python).

History

The fritzcap project was originally started in2007 by [Wayback/Archive] spongebob | IP Phone Forum, first as a binary fritzcap.exe Windows executable (see his first post at [Wayback/Archive] FritzBox: Tool für Etherreal Trace und Audiodaten-Extraktion | IP Phone Forum). In 2010 it became an open source Python project at [Wayback/Archive] Google Code Archive – Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.

An unexpected turn of events when Jeff Geerling posted “I’m hosting my website on a FARM!”

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/06

Some links on the unexpected turn of events after [Archive] Jeff Geerling (@geerlingguy) / Twitter posted

First his site got more traffic because of the post, then within an hour traffic exploded because of a DDoS overflowing both his Raspberry Pi cluster and his mobile data capacity.

Jeff will likely do blog posts on these and update the underlying GitHub repository at [Wayback/Archive] geerlingguy/turing-pi-2-cluster: Turing Pi 2 Cluster , but until then (since his Tweets were not threaded), this is what happened on 20220209 as it taught me a few bits:

“Not having done docker, but having developed enough software to have the impression that as soon as things get hierarchical, things eventually end up in a mess. Somewhere down the road something won’t cope with depth/breadth/size and break badly.”

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/06/22

I originally posted this in a docker on docker thread, but I think it holds universally:

[WayBack] Jeroen Pluimers on Twitter: “Not having done docker, but having developed enough software to have the impression that as soon as things get hierarchical, things eventually end up in a mess. Somewhere down the road something won’t cope with depth/breadth/size and break badly.”

This despite the cool gif in the reply:

Original thread start:

[WayBack] Duffie Cooley on Twitter: “When you hear Docker in Docker what do you think of? docker socket: Mounting in the underlying docker.sock and allowing a container to make new containers. kernel privs: Giving enough privs to a new container that it can make new containers cause it shares a kernel.”

Running ArchiveTeam Warrior version 3.2 on ESXi

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/05/05

A while ago I wrote about Helping the WayBack ArchiveTeam team: running their Warrior virtual appliance on ESXi.

Since it was scheduled before my cancer treatment started and got posted when still recovering from it, I missed that version 3.2 of the [Wayback] ArchiveTeam Warrior appliance appeared in the [Wayback] Releases · ArchiveTeam/Ubuntu-Warrior at [Wayback] Release v3.2 · ArchiveTeam/Ubuntu-Warrior. You can download it form these places:

These two sites have not yet been updated, so they contain the older versions:

The source code now has been moved three times:

Dockerfile with Bite Size Networking tools from b0rk

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/04/16

[WayBack] Ryan James Spencer on Twitter:

“I wrote a quick Dockerfile so people who purchase Bite Size Networking from  @b0rk can quickly have access to the tools. You can slim the image down to do debugging on docker networks once you get comfortable with which tools are most useful to you.”

He is planning to do more, so maybe a few of [WayBack] wizard zines get encapsulated into dockerfiles as well.

PS: [WayBack] Dockerfile | Docker Documentation


# N.B. The only tool missing here that is mentioned in the document is `zenmap`
# purely because this image is intended to be run via a CLI and `zenmap` is a GUI
# to `nmap` i.e. one can play around with the tools by running:
#
# $ docker build –name bite_size_networking:latest .
# $ docker run –rm -d –name bsn_test bite_size_networking:latest
# $ docker exec -it bsn_test bash
#
# Alternatively, one can change the `ENTRYPOINT` to `["bash"]` and run:
#
# $ docker run -it –name bsn_test bite_size_networking:latest
#
# then later (after exiting the shell):
#
# $ docker start bsn_test
# $ docker attach bsn_test
#
# One can also run this image on a docker network to capture packets and so
# forth for debugging purposes. Once you've found the tooling that best suits
# your needs, it may make sense to make a slimmed down version of this
# Dockerfile and, if wireguard isn't needed, base this image off
# `debian:stable` instead.
#
# Lastly, you can purchase Bite Size Networking or Julia's other fantastic
# zines over at https://wizardzines.com/
# We use `unstable` here since we install `wireguard` below

Helping the WayBack ArchiveTeam team: running their Warrior virtual appliance on ESXi

Posted by jpluimers on 2021/03/19

The [WayBack] Archiveteam helps the WayBack machine with feeding new content.

You can help that team by running one or more “warrior” virtual machine instances. The VM is distributed as a virtual appliance in an ova file according to the Open Virtualization Format.

That format sounds more generic than it actually is, so the (at the time of writing) archiveteam-warrior-v3-20171013.ova file at [WayBack] Index of /downloads/warrior3/ was created for VirtualBox.X

This meant running it on VMware ESXi or VMware vSphere takes a few steps for patching it, then uploading it to your VMware host.

Since I might want to run the appliance on multiple places or multiple instances, I wanted to have a ready-to-go solution, I created a git repository with both the patch instructions and the update at [WayBack] wiert.me / public / ova / archiveteam-warrior-v3-20171013.ESXi · GitLab.
