Link: Our Favourite Linux Cheat Sheets

by Admin

Most Linux system administrators spend their days at the command line, configuring and monitoring their servers through an SSH session. The command line is extremely powerful, but it can be difficult to keep all the options switches and tools in your head. Man pages are only a command away, but they’re often not written for quick consultation, so when we’re stuck for some of the more arcane options, we reach for the collection of cheat sheets that we’ve curated over the years.

Even command line masters occasionally need a litte help, and we hope that terminal beginners will find these concise lists useful too. All of these tools are installed by default on a standard Linux box except for Vim and Emacs, which may or may not be available (see the package manager cheat sheets for how to get them).

Link: NoMachine – An Advanced Remote Desktop Access Tool

by Admin

Working remotely is not a new thing for Linux Administrators. Especially when he/she is not in front of the server. Generally, the GUI is not installed by default on Linux servers. But there may some Linux Administrators who choose to install GUI on Linux servers.

When your server has a GUI, you may want to remote the server with full desktop experience. To do that you may install VNC Server on that server. In this article, we will cover about NoMachine as an alternate Remote Desktop Tool.

What is NoMachine

NoMachine is a remote desktop tool. Just like VNC. So what is the difference between NoMachine with the other? The most important factor is speed. The NX protocol provides near local speed responsiveness over high latency and low bandwidth links. So it feels like you were directly in front of your computer.

Link: How To Protect SSH with fail2ban on Debian 7

by Admin

Having a server or computer connected to a network comes with a certain amount of risk. Any machine, including a VPS, connected to the internet is a potential target for malicious attacks.

While having a well-configured firewall will prevent many kinds of illegitimate access, you still need to open up certain services to allow yourself the ability to log in and administer the server. SSH is the service most commonly used to log into remote systems, and so it also is one of the most frequently targeted.

Fortunately, there is a tool available that can mitigate this attack vector, called fail2ban. This can be configured to allow legitimate logins using SSH, but ban IP addresses after they have failed to authenticate correctly after a set number of times.

Link: Basic Linux Shell Scripting Language : ‘While’ Loops

by Admin

In the previous article entitled “Basic Linux Shell Scripting Language : Introduction to ‘For’ Loops“, we have observed how a loop works. Loop is nothing but a control flow statement which executes a block of commands repeatedly till certain condition stays true, once the condition becomes false, the loop is terminated.

In this article, I will explain Basic syntax of ‘While’ loop along with some examples of ‘While’ loop usage. If you are new to Shell Scripting, I recommend that, you should read my article – Getting Started – Linux Shell Scripting Language.

One of the things we found interesting in this article is that it shows how to use an infinite ‘while’ loop that can only be broken out of by some specific event or condition. Very basic stuff, but something that can come in quite handy in certain situations.

Link: How To Take Screenshots On The Raspberry Pi

by Admin

While putting together some future articles I wanted to take some screen shots within LXDE, the Pi’s default graphical interface.

I considered taking them on my PC using a remote desktop connection to the Pi but I thought it might be easier to just take them directly on the Pi as I used it.

To do this I decided to use Scrot which is a command line screen capturing utility.

Link: Raspberry Pi Configuration Manager `PiCon` Lets You Configure Your Pi Using A GUI

by Admin

PiCon is a Raspberry Pi configuration manager which lets you make changes to the config.txt file using a GUI. The config.txt file is used to store various system parameters that you would normally set from the BIOS, but Raspberry Pi doesn’t have a conventional BIOS and thus, it uses this file for such settings.

picon raspberry pi configuration manager

The application is designed to run on a host system (works on Windows, Linux and Mac since it’s written in Java) and not directly on the Raspberry Pi. It is possible to run the app on Raspberry Pi, but the performance is pretty bad.
