When high SEO ranking fails to give you a reliable result: IsItDownRightNow.com failed to detect the WayBack Machine outage
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/02/11
A high SEO ranking does not automatically indicate a reliable result.
When the WayBack Machine was down a while ago (it responded to traceroute UDP requests, but would not establish TCP connections on ports 80 and 443), the first Google hit for detecting down status (searching for [Archive.is] waybackmachine down – Google Search) failed miserably because it redirected web.archive.org (which fails) to http://www.archive.org (which succeeds):
IsIdDownRightNow failing to detect web.archive.org downtime
Luckily when asking around on Twitter:
- others were experiencing the same problem, not just in The Netherlands, but also in other countries
- after trying a few things, the WayBack machine got backup [Archive.is] before I could try cURL.
- I got pointed at www.uptrends.com/tools/uptime which correctly does check the right subdomain and shows it is down from many locations:

Some links on using and updating Let’s Encrypt certificates for internal servers
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/02/01
Sometimes it is easier to have current and public CA signed TLS certificates for internal servers than to setup and maintain an internal CA and register it on all affected browsers (including mobile phones).
One of my reasons to investigate this is that Chrome refuses to save credentials on servers that have no verifiable TLS certificate, see my post Some links on Chrome not prompting to save passwords (when Firefox and Safari do) about a week ago.
Below are some links for my link archive that hopefully will allow me to do this with Let’s Encrypt (msot via [Wayback/Archive] letsencrypt for internal servers – Google Search):

Need to revisit osquery: SQL powered operating system instrumentation, monitoring, and analytics supports more platforms and also aggregates to central log locations
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/18
Almost two years ago, GitHub – facebook/osquery: SQL powered operating system instrumentation, monitoring, and analytics published from the automatic blog queue.
It was in the midst of my rectum cancer treatment, so I was glad the blog queue back then was still about 18 months deep.
This meant I looked into osquery in 2018, which I remember because I needed it on MacOS as I did not want to remember the syntax for MacOS specific commands on getting system information. It also coincides with how much my repository fork was behind: [Wayback: jpluimers/osquery commits/Archive: jpluimers/osquery commits].
Fast forward to now, the breath of systems I’m involved with has widened, so I was glad to see that Kristian Köhntopp mentioned it:
- [Archive] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “…, “High Level Features” osqueryd auf dem Client, »The daemon takes care of aggregating the query results over time and generates logs which indicate state changes in your infrastructure.«… “
- [Archive] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “Und weiter in … “
- [Archive] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “Und schließlich Log Aggregation, und insbesondere auch … “
So time to try it again (:
The links he mentioned:
- [Wayback/Archive] Welcome to osquery – osquery
osqueryis an operating system instrumentation framework for Windows, OS X (macOS), Linux, and FreeBSD. The tools make low-level operating system analytics and monitoring both performant and intuitive. - [Wayback/Archive] Welcome to osquery – osquery: High Level Features
The high-performance and low-footprint distributed host monitoring daemon,osqueryd, allows you to schedule queries to be executed across your entire infrastructure. The daemon takes care of aggregating the query results over time and generates logs which indicate state changes in your infrastructure. You can use this to maintain insight into the security, performance, configuration, and state of your entire infrastructure.osqueryd‘s logging can integrate into your internal log aggregation pipeline, regardless of your technology stack, via a robust plugin architecture.The interactive query console,osqueryi, gives you a SQL interface to try out new queries and explore your operating system. With the power of a complete SQL language and dozens of useful tables built-in,osqueryiis an invaluable tool when performing incident response, diagnosing a systems operations problem, troubleshooting a performance issue, etc. - [Wayback/Archive] osqueryd (daemon) – osquery

Cool: [Wayback/Archive.is] GitHub – TimeToogo/tunshell: Remote shell into ephemeral environments 🐚 🦀
Via: [Archive.is] Jan Schaumann on Twitter: “This looks neat: on-demand remote shell into ephemeral environments, e.g. CI/CD pipeline container. Both sides fetch a client, use rendezvous server to negotiate session info, then establish connection or fall back to proxy through rendezvous. “
