The death of Mandriva, a social media botnet running on consumer routers, Solaris, alternative firmware for consumer routers, and some games that run on GNU/Linux (plus the fun goodness of two high-profile compromises). This is the first episode Jthan tried his hand at editing. I ended up fixing a fair bit. :P
Notes
- So Mandriva is dead
- Because of staffing, Jthan. Not quality/type of product or going bankrupt.
- But there are three forks you can check out…
- Mageia is definitely the most popular, by far
- Jthan also mentions PCLinuxOS
- And he also mentions OpenMandriva
- You may want to read more about Mandriva (the company and the product).
- Jthan brings up Gitolite, which we’ll definitely cover in another episode.
- And the documentation he references is here
- And I mentioned WinAmp
- Information on Moose, the “router worm”, can be found here and here
- You may also want to keep tabs on RouterSecurity’s bug list
- The list of companies’ products affected are: Actiontec, Hik Vision, Netgear, Synology, TP-Link, ZyXEL, and Zhone
- Thankfully, Solaris/OpenSolaris is dead (and has been for a while)
- At least they gave us ZFS
- I mention Illumos, the maintained fork of (Open?)Solaris.
- Jthan mentions Solaris’ Zones
- And I mention FreeBSD’s Jails
- He also mentions FMA, Fault Management Architecture
- Tomato firmware is based on the Linksys source code and the developer makes it available, but from what I understand the actual license is under a freeware level.
- I also mentioned the TOTALLY proprietary DD-WRT
- But I love OpenWRT
- And the SDK
- And the Image Builder
- I mention B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced
- and CJDNS
- I also mention m0n0wall
- and pfSense
- Jthan mentions Tektonic and Linode
- And I mention Vultr, RamNode, and DigitalOcean
- I also throw down a mention for games.square-r00t.net/, which is still a work in progress.
- But check out the game listings, as I mention all the games I reference in there
- Jthan mentions his horrible taste in games
- Battlefield
- Call of Duty
- League of Legends (on WINE)
- The most popular F/OSS Minecraft clone is Craft
- I really wish Fortress Forever had a GNU/Linux native port.
- Jthan also mentions Garry’s Mod
- I replaced the speakers in my laptop. Still making the static. :(
- Puppet 3.5.1 was released April 16, 2014 (3.5.0 was released April 3, 2014 and recalled April 4, 2014)
- Puppet 4.2 was released just recently, June 24, 2015 (4.1 was released May 19, 2015)
- The OPM compromise has raised some serious questions
- As has the LastPass compromise
- I use Pass
- I mention Perfect Forward Secrecy (or PFS)
- and Moore’s Law
- As has the LastPass compromise
Errata
- Solaris’ initial public release was in June of 1992 (23 years ago). OpenSolaris’ initial public release was May 5, 2008.
- I forgot to mention it, but on the majority of my VPSes I run Nginx
- nickermire in our IRC points out that:
22:11:38 < nickermire> fyi r00t^2 lastpass doesn't force you to change your password after the breach. They just mention it once upon login the first time after the hack.
- LastPass, you secure bad and you should feel bad.
