russians not employees are on my internal network sniffing around

sometimes you just want to know who looks at your internal site. you know, those ones behind the dmz. places like that. you use google analytics because it is nice.
then all of a sudden you notice hits from places like mozambique and st. lucia and russia, you get this feeling in your stomach that bad things have happened. really bad things
well. the google id you're provided with can be easily guessed. and that's what spammers do. they run through google ids to boost their sites. and it so happens that's what they're doing with your id. no worries. to figure out who really accesses your site, set up some custom ga code and a cookie.

use cookies for tracking:

google analytics
admin

property > Dd Custom Definitions | Custom Dimensions
+New Custom Dimension

Name: sitename-cookie
Scope: User
Active: checked

after creation:
My index is 1

var dimensionValue = 'SOME_DIMENSION_VALUE';
ga('set', 'dimension1', dimensionValue);

in my case:

SOME_DIMENSION_VALUE = sitename-cookie 
dimension1 = tasty-cookie


insert the following in java scriptlet:

var dimensionValue = 'sitename-cookie';
ga('set', 'tasty-cookie', dimensionValue);

google tag manager
https://www.google.com/tagmanager/
account sitename
container sitename
where to use: web pages
tags: google analytics

tag name: sitename-cookie
tag type: universal
tracking id: UA-XXXXXXXX-1 (google analytics id)

more settings | cookie configuration

nmap subnet scan with os details

this just churns and churns.

 #!/bin/bash  
   
 date=`date +%Y%M%d`;  
 OUTDIR=ip_audit_$date;  
   
 SUBNETS="8 9 10 11 16 20 24 28 32 128";  
   
 for net in $SUBNETS; do  
      for ip in `seq 1 254`; do  
          echo -n "192.168.$net.$ip: ";  
          ping -c 1 192.168.$net.$ip > /dev/null;  
          if [ $? == 0 ]; then  
              echo "up"; nmap -O 192.168.$net.$ip | grep 'OS details: ';  
          else  
              echo down;  
          fi;  
      done  
 done

weechat log to html part deux

so. irclog2html thinks my logs are unimportant (heh i read the css). pretty no more.
cat does it.

 !/bin/bash  
 # parse logs to html  
 # remove hashes from names  
 # cat log content to html fie
 # create index from directory list  
   
 title="irc logs"  
 source=~/.weechat/logs  
 working=~/scratch  
 dest=~/public_html/logs  
   
 # copy source  
   
 cd $source  
 cp *.log $working  
   
 # rename  
   
 cd $working  
 rename -f 's/[^A-Za-z0-9._-]//g' *  
   
 # copy contents  
 cd $working  
   
 for i in * ; do  
     touch $i.html  
     echo "<html>" >> $i.html  
     echo "<title>$i</title>" >> $i.html  
     echo "<body>" >> $i.html  
     echo "<a href=index.html>$title</a><br><br>" >> $i.html  
     echo "<h3>$i</h3><pre>" >> $i.html  
     cat $i >> $i.html  
     echo "<br><br><br><br><br><br><a href=index.html>$title</a><br><br>" >> $i.html  
     echo "</pre></body></html>" >> $i.html  
     mv $i.html $dest  
 done  
   
 rm *.log  
   
 # create index  
   
 cd $dest  
   
     echo "<html>" > $dest/index.html  
     echo "<title>$title</title>" >> $dest/index.html  
     echo "<body>" >> $dest/index.html  
     echo "<h3>$title</h3>" >> $dest/index.html  
   
 ls $dest | grep -vE '(index.html|*core*)' | awk -F"." '{print "<a href=" $1 "." $2 "." $3 "." $4 ".html>" $1 "." $2 "." $3 "." $4 "</a><br>"}' \  
 >> $dest/index.html  
   
     echo "</body></html>" >> $dest/index.html

weechat log to html script

and in your handy cron job you run this to convert your logs and make an index from your mosh screen weechat log thing. irclog2html doesn't like ~ by-the-by.

   
 #!/bin/bash  
 # parse logs to html  
 # remove hashes from names  
 # create prettified index from directory list  
   
 title="irc logs"  
 dest=~/public_html/logs  
   
 # parse  
 irclog2html --title=' ' --index-url='index.html' --index-title='irc logs' -o '/full/pwd/to/public_html/logs/' /full/pwd/to/.weechat/logs/*.log  
   
 # rename  
 cd $dest  
 rename -f 's/[^A-Za-z0-9._-]//g' *  
   
 # create index  
 echo "<html>" > $dest/index.html  
 echo "<title>$title</title>" >> $dest/index.html  
 echo "<body>" >> $dest/index.html  
 echo "<h3>$title</h3>" >> $dest/index.html  
   
 ls $dest | grep -vE '(index.html|irclog.css|*core*)' | awk -F"." '{print "<a href=" $1 "." $2 "." $3 "." $4 ".html>" $1 "." $2 "." $3 "." $4 "</a><br>"}' \  
 >> $dest/index.html  
   
 echo "</body></html>" >> $dest/index.html

weechat & logging

a bothersome thing about weechat is that out of the box is that is plops all logs into one big file. setting a file name mask suffices for log rotation. default logging throws in all mode changes and the like. setting the level to 1 catches conversations only.


 logger.conf

 [file]  
 info_lines = off  
 mask = "%Y-%m-%d-$plugin.$name.log"  
   
 [level]  
 irc = 1  
 plugin.server.#channel = 1

irc logs to intranet; or the joy of ngnix, weechat, mosh, screen and irc2html

what did i say again?

 irc logs to intranet  
   
 ngnix homedir  
   
 location ~ ^/~(.+?)(/.*)?$ {  
   alias /home/$1/www$2;  
   autoindex on;  
 }  
   
 ...  
 weechat & mosh  
   
 apt-get update  
 apt-get install weechat  
 apt-get install weechat-curses  
 apt-get install screen  
 apt-get install mosh  
 ufw allow 60000:61000/udp  
   
 logger@host mosh 127.0.0.1 -- screen -D -RR weechat weechat-curses  
     mobile ssh        screen option sessionname program  
   
 ...  
 nb:  
 detach screen session:  
 crtl+A D  
   
 reattach screen session:  
 screen -ls  
 screen -R sessionname  
   
 ex:  
   
 logger@host:~# screen -ls  
 There are screens on:  
     2171.weechat  (01/30/2015 11:21:00 AM)    (Detached)  
 1 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-logger.  
   
 ...  
 logger@host irclog2html ~/.weechat/logs/*.log ; mv ~/.weechat/logs/*.html *.css ~/public_html/  
   
 ...  
 if ngnix autolog is off:  
   
 logger@host cd ~/public_html/logs ; tree -H . > index.html  
   
 voila.

add a disk to solaris 10

 i have a new/old seagate disk that i have just un-bad magic'd.  
 i want it to mount to /opt.  
   
 here's what we need to do:  
   
 detect the disk.  
 # devfsadm  
   
 see if the disk shows up.  
 # ls /dev/rdsk/*s0  
   
 format the disk.  
 # format  
   
 put a ufs fs on the disk.  
 # newfs /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0  
   
 check the disk.  
 # fsck /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0  
   
 put the disk notation in vfstab/  
 # vi /etc/vfstab  
   
 mount the disk.  
 # mount /opt  
   
 see if the disk is really as big as we think it is.  
 # df -h /opt/  
   
 [root@blackholesun /]# ls /dev/rdsk/*s0

let us remove a raw fs from a solaris zone

removing a filesystem from zonecfg

zonecfg is used to remove a filesystem added in the zone configuration file (.xml).  in my case:
raw: /dev/vx/rdsk/zone-fs-to-remove/fs-to-remove
which is /fs-to-remove on the zone.

(global-zone:/)# zonecfg -z zone info fs | grep fs-to-remove
        dir: /fs-to-remove
        special: /dev/vx/dsk/zone-fs-to-remove/fs-to-remove
        raw: /dev/vx/rdsk/zone-fs-to-remove/fs-to-remove
(global-zone:/)# zonecfg -z zone
zonecfg:zone> remove fs dir=/fs-to-remove
zonecfg:zone> commit
zonecfg:zone> exit
(global-zone:/)# zonecfg -z zone info fs | grep fs-to-remove
(global-zone:/)#

sadly, my esx servers do not email me. that's just life.
but, one thing i really want to know is if they're doing their backups every day. well, i have them connected to an nfs server. and i can run find on the backup directory. you can, too. i like find, by the way. i really do.

find /opt/vm-repo/vm_backups -type d -mtime 0 | sort | mail -s "vm_backup dir change" me@there.com
     ^                       ^       ^          ^      ^
     |                       |       |          |      |
     dir to find in          dir     |          alpha  mail to me
                                     |
                                     modify time 24hrs

crontab it and away you go.

here's what i get:

/opt/vm-repo/vm_backups
/opt/vm-repo/vm_backups/sillyvm
/opt/vm-repo/vm_backups/sillyvm/sillyvm-2015-03-12_23-00-01

vmware nfs mounts go a-asking

vmware esx servers don't pick up nfs mounts if they go away. here's how to get them going again:

overview:

/vmfs/volumes # esxcfg-nas -l
/vmfs/volumes # esxcfg-nas -d mount
/vmfs/volumes # esxcfg-nas -a -o nfsserver -s nfsexport localmount

in practice:

~ # esxcfg-nas -l
vm-crap is /opt/vm-crap from 192.168.6.66 mounted
~ # esxcfg-nas -d vm-crap
NAS volume vm-crap deleted.
~ # esxcfg-nas -a -o 192.168.6.66 -s /opt/vm-crap vm-crap
Connecting to NAS volume: vm-crap
vm-crap created and connected.
~ # exit
