Today, I will introduce some graphical front-end tools called Grsync and Gadmin-rsync which will help to ease the usage of rsync tool.

Link: Free yourself from the command line with these 10 GUI tools for Linux

When I broach the subject of Linux with some people, their immediate response is, “I don’t want to have to use the command line.” Ten years ago, I would have understood their trepidation. Today, however, that response is no longer valid. Why? The Linux platform has so many outstanding GUI tools, the command line is no longer a necessity (especially for desktop users). In fact, when on a desktop, I rarely need to use the command line.

Here are 10 easy-to-use GUI tools that have replaced commands. Each one does a great job of standing in for the command line — and in many cases, even adds features.

Link: How To : Secure Shell (SSH) Password-less Login using SSH-Keygen

Secure Shell, as the name tells, is the open source and most secure and hence, most used protocol that is used to execute command remotely on a Linux host or to transfer files from one Linux host to another within a network using Secure Copy (SCP). Find more details about Secure Shell in our article- Secure Shell in Linux.

In this article, we will see how to setup password-less login between two Linux system to transfer files between them with the same level of security and trust.

Link: Debian Linux Home Router with IPv4 and IPv6

I use Debian Wheezy for a home router with an he.net IPv6 tunnel. Here are the configs I have in place for this to work!

Note: This is not a full how-to guide but rather a dump of config files. Hopefully this will be of use to fellow Linux geeks out there. I am using a /24 class B because I do not like to use 192.168.x.x.

Link: SSH Dictionary Attack Prevention with iptables

…I found it is also ideal to slow down the attack when the infested host started to brute force the SSH authentication. There are many scripts/user-land daemons that perform monitoring and blocking. However in a resource limited VPS, I prefer to use something that has less demand in memory/CPU usage. IPTables recent module provides a kernel level solution with little overhead.

Link: How to verify DDOS attack with netstat command on Linux Terminal

Your server appearing pretty slow could be many things from wrong configs, scripts and dodgy hardware – but sometimes it could be because someone is flooding your server with traffic known as DoS ( Denial of Service ) or DDoS ( Distributed Denial of Service ).

Denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or Distributed Denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users. This attack generally target sites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even root nameservers. DoS attacks are implemented by either forcing the targeted computer to reset, or consuming its resources so that it can no longer provide its services or obstructs the communication media between the users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate adequately.

In this small article you’ll see how to check if your server is under attack from the Linux Terminal with the netstat command
