1. Security Vulnerability CVE-2014-0160 (Heartbleed)

             CVE-2014-0160 – Heartbleed got us all with pants down, there’s a new vulnerability found in a pretty recent version of openssl, it affects all versions starting 1.0.1 and fixed in 1.0.1g, it got a name debian vendors claim that the fixed version is 1.0.1e-2+deb7u5, but while I was writing this post openssl-1.0.1e-2+deb7u5 was gone and openssl-1.0.1e-2+deb7u6 replaced it, Debian announcement  did not update on this one.

    Here’s how you patch CVE-2014-0160 on debian/ubuntu:

    Debian:

    Squeeze – unaffected

    Wheezy  –

    apt-get update

    apt-get install openssl=1.0.1e-2+deb7u6

    Ubuntu:

    for example on 12.04

    apt-get update

    apt-get install openssl=1.0.1-4ubuntu5.12

    other versions – check yourself,

    when you finished fixing it, don’t forget to  /etc/init.d/ssh restart

    and keep security in your sources list!

  3. Primecoin client for OSX 10.9 Mavericks

    Many people are looking for the solution for running a PrimeCoin wallet on Mac OSX 10.9 (Mavericks), myself running it on my macbook I had to spend some hours of finding out a way, downloaded it from github and compiled, so here it is
    just download and it works.


    P.S.
    yes, it is possible to mine with this client, it’s just it’s not HP version (high performance) of the miner, but it can mine almost the same

    Donations are appreciated, XPM: AUJMpUojaGfFkJYMfn11xfFmziBvSRHUC8

  5. solved – mount local sata ext3 partition on esxi 5.1

    ssh into your esxi

    first, find your drive id from vsphere client or locally match in /vmfs/devices/disks

    second, cd into your vm’s storage and issue the following command:

    vmkfstools -r /vmfs/devices/disks/[wicked_drive_id] your_direct.vmdk

    works like a charm
