iptables revisited

Posted 12-05-2013 at 03:05 PM by rocket357 (Musings on technology, philosophy, and life in the corporate world)

I spent a bit of time revamping my iptables rules on a public torrent/voip server of mine, so I figured I would dump them here (sanitized) for future reference:

Code:

root@dfw:~# iptables -nvL
Chain INPUT (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
   47  1896 LOG-DROP   all  --  *      *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0            ctstate INVALID /* SCANS AND SUCH? */

The Linux port of KeePass is called KeePassX.

The following knowledge base article discusses the encryption mechanisms involved with securing keepass databases.

That's a good read and I highly recommend everyone read it. It tells you about mitigating brute force attacks by modifying iterations of hashes. It even has a little button that computes 1 seconds worth of hashes automatically so that it takes one second...

When I first bought my current workstation (currently running Wheezy) several years ago, I got a base station that featured two DVI ports and a VGA port.
