TCP/IP Three-Way Handshake

Sun, 31 May 2026 15:18:07 +0200

🤝 TCP/IP Three-Way Handshake

TCP stands for transmission Control Protocol
similar to OSI model
Consist 4 layers
- Application
- Transport
- Internet
- Network Interface
Information is added to each layer (similar to OSI) in process called encapsulation
it is connection-based - must establish connection before can send data
guarantees that sent data will be received on the other end in process named Three-way handshake

Some most important TCP packet headers

Header	Description
Source Port	This value is the port opened by the sender to send the TCP packet from. This value is chosen randomly (out of the ports from 0-65535 that aren’t already in use at the time).
Destination Port	This value is the port number that an application or service is running on the remote host (the one receiving data); for example, a webserver running on port 80. Unlike the source port, this value is not chosen at random.
Source IP	This is the IP address of the device that is sending the packet.
Destination IP	This is the IP address of the device that the packet is destined for.
Sequence Number	When a connection occurs, the first piece of data transmitted is given a random number. We’ll explain this more in-depth further on.
Acknowledgement Number	After a piece of data has been given a sequence number, the number for the next piece of data will have the sequence number + 1. We’ll also explain this more in-depth further on.
💡 Checksum	This value is what gives TCP integrity. A mathematical calculation is made where the output is remembered. When the receiving device performs the mathematical calculation, the data must be corrupt if the output is different from what was sent.
Data	This header is where the data, i.e. bytes of a file that is being transmitted, is stored.
Flag	This header determines how the packet should be handled by either device during the handshake process. Specific flags will determine specific behaviours, which is what we’ll come on to explain below.

Three-way handshake

communicates using few special messages

Step	Message	Description
1	SYN	A SYN message is the initial packet sent by a client during the handshake. This packet is used to initiate a connection and synchronise the two devices together (we’ll explain this further later on).
2	SYN/ACK	This packet is sent by the receiving device (server) to acknowledge the synchronisation attempt from the client.
3	ACK	The acknowledgement packet can be used by either the client or server to acknowledge that a series of messages/packets have been successfully received.
4	DATA	Once a connection has been established, data (such as bytes of a file) is sent via the “DATA” message.
5	FIN	This packet is used to cleanly (properly) close the connection after it has been complete.
#	RST	This packet abruptly ends all communication. This is the last resort and indicates there was some problem during the process. For example, if the service or application is not working correctly, or the system has faults such as low resources.

When one device send data with random number sequence other device need to agree with same number sequence for data to be send in correct order. Order is assinged after three steps

OSI Model

Sun, 31 May 2026 14:02:48 +0200

OSI Model

Open Systems Interconnection Model
dictating how all networked devices will send, receive and interpret data
consists of 7 layers

The model (layers)

7. Application
- determine how the user interact with the data
- Email clients, file browsers or chat application belongs here
- 💡 Users interact with data trough GUI (Graphical user interface)
- DNS (Domain Name System) protocol also belongs here
  - Translates web addresses to the IP addresses
6. Presentation
- standardization - the data of one application needs to be handled the same way
- 💡acts as translator for data and from the application layer
- data encryption occur here
5. Session
- create and maintain the connection to other computer (When a connection is established, a session is created)
- responsible for closing the connection
- session can contain “checkpoints”
  - save bandwidth by only requiring send newest pieces of data
- data cannot travel over different sessions
4. Transport
- plays important part in transmitting data across network
- Data sent between devices follows 2 protocols
  - TCP
  - UDP
3. Network
- routing & re-assembly of data is part of this layer
- 💡protocol of this layer determine what’s the “optimal” path for data to reach device
- 💡 e.g. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
- Deciding is based on the following
  - What path is the shortest? I.e. has the least amount of devices that the packet needs to travel across.
  - What path is the most reliable? I.e. have packets been lost on that path before?
  - Which path has the faster physical connection? I.e. is one path using a copper connection (slower) or a fibre (considerably faster)?
- 💡 everything here is dealt with via IP addresses
2. Data Link
- focuses of the physical adresing of the transmission
- adds MAC address to the packet
  - Mac addresses are unique, set by manufacturer and can be spoofed
  - 💡 MAC address belongs to the network cards. Devices need network cards to connect to the network
- present the data in format suitable for transmission
1. Physical
- physical components of hardware
- 💡 Devices uses electrical signals to transfer data in a binary system
- 💡 For example, ethernet cables are part of this layer

Transport Protocols

TCP

💡Transmission Control protocol
designed with reliabailit and guarantee in mind
reserves constant connection between devices for the ammout of time it takes for the data to be send and received
incorporates error checking
can guarantee that data sent from the small chunks in the session layer (layer 5) has then been received and reassembled in the same order.
stateful - 3-way handshake

Pros

Honeypots

Sun, 31 May 2026 11:15:24 +0200

🍯 Honeypots

vulnerable security tool designed to attract attackers and record the actions of adversaries
can be used in a defensive role to alert administrators of potential breaches
and/or to distract attackers away from real infrastructure
collects data, tools and techniques

Classification

by Interactivity

Low-Interaction
- only capable of simulating the functions that are required to simulate a service and capture attacks against it
- Adversaries are not able to perform any post-exploitation activity
- Example: mailoney, dionaea.
Medium Interaction
- emulating both vulnerable services as well as the underlying OS, shell, and file systems
- ℹ️ the system presented to adversaries is a simulation,
  - it is usually not possible for to complete full range of post-exploitation activity
- allows adversaries to complete initial exploits and carry out post-exploitation activity
- For example: Cowrie
High-Interaction
- fully complete systems that are usually Virtual Machines that include deliberate vulnerabilities
- Adversaries should be able (but not necessarily allowed) to perform any action against the honeypot as it is a complete system
- ⚠️ Needs to be carefully managed, otherwise they can be used to attack other systems
- For example Cowrie as an SSH Proxy

by Deployment location

Internal Honeypots
- deployed inside LAN
- for threats originating from the inside, for example, attacks originating from trusted personnel or attacks that by-parse firewalls like phishing attack
- ⚠️ should never be compromised
External Honeypots
- Deployed on the internet
- Monitor attacks outside LAN
- Collects much more data since they are effectively guaranteed to be under attack at all times

Typical behavior of bots

ℹ️ Majority of typical SSH deployemnts are automated. Most of the post-exploitation activity that takes place after a bot gains initial access to the honeypot will follow a broad pattern.

I Updated My Caddy Stack With CrowdSec

Sat, 30 May 2026 22:13:08 +0200

I Updated My Caddy Stack With CrowdSec

Lately, I decided to enhance the security of my public Caddy server by implementing CrowdSec, an open-source, collaborative security engine. At its core, CrowdSec functions as an IDS/IPS¹ powered by crowdsourced threat intelligence.

It analyzes behavior logs from servers in real-time; when an attack is detected, that information is anonymized and instantly shared with the entire network, protecting everyone from emerging threats.

I had looked at other solutions in the past, but I was never quite a fan of them until I found this approach.

Update on My Cloud Storage

Sun, 24 May 2026 16:03:00 +0200

I consolidating my cloud storage as I using multiple services - the paid ones, (I’m not crazy, I hope 😁). So I go through all of them and look at them what we have there.

I found that I can move photos to kDrive and and save some money on my google one subscription (can’t go totally free but I can downgrade). Next one was on the list Apple iCloud.

I found that in our family storage most space takes backup for various games. So I removed them and downgraded.

Humans Replacing Humans

Sun, 17 May 2026 11:51:14 +0200

Jensen Huang said in his speech at Carnegie Mellon University: AI won’t replace anyone, but people who know how to use AI will replace you.

Just found this on one website and almost immidietly one scene from Rick and Morty came up from my mind. That scene is from the episode The Ricklantis Mixup.

“Mortys Killing Mortys”, The scene where Morty (the cop) kills another Mortys from different universe.

There were many dialogues about this problem and mostly they cause was just “religion wars”, and dividing people to 2 groups. One who love AI and the another wo hate it.

Ai

Fri, 08 May 2026 22:43:07 +0200

I’ve always admired visual art and anime, but my hands are more comfortable with a keyboard than a pencil. AI is a way for me to bring to life ideas that would otherwise remain in my head. I respect the work of real artists and see AI as a technical playground, not a replacement for their talent.

My Subscribtions 2025

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 00:05:45 +0100

I have another update in adition to my defaults page. Here are my subscriptions.

I canceled my subscription to Jetbrains Toolox (all apps) and moved to VSCode, which I use now for each of my projects. From streaming I removed Youtube subscription as it took to me much time scrollig and watching videos.

I had a subscription for OpenAI’s Chat GPT but canceled it. After latest update I feel like I talk with totally incopetent person - with someone who just answer without thinking before he open it’s mouth. What I kept is Github Copilot subscription.

My Defaults by the End of 2025

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 23:47:48 +0100

My defaults are mostly the same as they was before, but I removed some services because they was owervhelming and hard to manage. Altrough I still have privacy in my mind I feel at home with big-tech. As a compromis I have at least backup with providers which are more privacy friendly.

Email

I moved my primary domain to iCloud which still supports IMAP and SMTP so i can have it also on my android phone. Also have proton altrough I dont use it primary for email and added Mailbox where I put some secondary domains, I decided to give It a try because of Delta Chat (it has very good limits).

When a Community Reprograms Your Inner Compass

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 09:12:01 +0200

There is a subtle moment that most people never consciously notice. It does not arrive suddenly, it does not create conflict, and it does not look like a mistake. Quite the opposite—it often feels like growth, maturity, or moving in the “right” direction. Only later does a person realize that something is off.

That moment is when personal decision-making quietly stops being grounded in reality and starts being guided by the norms of a group one wants to belong to.

🎄 Advent of Code '25 Day 5: Cafeteria

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 09:55:54 +0200

Day 5 felt like running a little data pipeline: we ingest ranges, normalize them, and answer two slightly different queries.

Part 1 – Checking the available IDs

The database lists “fresh” ID ranges followed by a blank line and then the list of available items we need to classify. My approach:

Parse the ranges and IDs.
Sort and merge overlapping or adjacent ranges so we end up with disjoint intervals.
For each ID, run a binary search to see whether it lands inside any merged interval.

Complexity: Merging ranges costs O(R log R) where R is the number of range lines. Each ID lookup is O(log R), so the total runtime is O(R log R + I log R); memory stays O(R) for the merged intervals.

🎄 Advent of Code '25 Day 4: Printing Department

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 08:23:54 +0200

Forklifts, paper rolls, and lots of adjacency checks: Day 4 turned into a neat graph-like puzzle. Here’s how I solved both parts and what their complexity looks like.

Part 1 – Finding accessible rolls

Each roll of paper is represented by @ on a grid. A roll is accessible if fewer than four of the eight neighboring cells also contain rolls. The solver:

Parses the grid from input.txt.
Walks every cell; when it finds an @, it counts the occupied neighbors using the eight-direction offsets.
Increments the answer whenever the neighbor count is < 4.

Complexity: Let the grid be H x W. We inspect each cell once and examine up to eight neighbors, so runtime is O(H * W) with O(1) auxiliary memory.

🎄 Advent of Code '25 Day 3: Lobby

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 11:23:54 +0200

I spent Day 3 hanging out in the lobby with a pile of battery banks and a stubborn escalator. Here is how I cracked both puzzles using a pair of lean JavaScript scripts (part1.js and part2.js).

Part 1 – Two batteries, one number

Each bank is a string of digits. I needed the largest possible two-digit value that preserves order. Rather than evaluate every pair, I sweep the string once while tracking the best “first” digit seen so far. Every new digit forms a candidate pair with that best digit; if the candidate beats the running maximum, I store it, and if the new digit is even better as a first digit, I promote it. This greedy pass extracts the answer for a bank in linear time.

🎄 Advent of Code '25 Day 2: Gift Shop

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 09:07:54 +0200

Day 2 was all about spotting playful ID patterns inside huge numerical ranges. Here’s how both parts came together.

Input parsing shared by both parts

The puzzle input is one comma-separated line of inclusive ranges (start-end). I parse everything as BigInt so that the gigantic IDs stay precise. After that, each part does its own math on top of the same parsed data.

Part 1 – Double-half IDs

Condition. An ID is invalid if it is exactly two copies of some digit string (e.g., 64 64). If the repeated block has length h, then the ID equals pattern * 10^h + pattern.

🎄 Advent of Code '25 Day 1: Secret Entrance

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 10:02:54 +0200

For Day 1 I had to open a safe with a dial numbered 0–99. Here’s how both halves of the puzzle fell.

Part 1 – Counting end-of-rotation zeros

The dial starts at 50 and each instruction looks like L68 or R48. I only needed to know how many times the dial ended on 0 after finishing each rotation.

Implementation notes:

Parse every instruction once.
Track the current dial position; rotate by converting L to negative steps and R to positive steps.
Apply the delta with (position + delta) mod 100 keeping values non-negative.
Increment the answer whenever the resulting position equals 0.

This runs in O(n) with n rotations and needs only a handful of integers.

About mobile phones

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 20:01:22 +0100

Today, Samsung announced new foldable devices. As much as I’m into new technologies, especially mobile ones, I think there will come a time when even a biannual upgrade is not sustainable. Upgrades are subtle, and you see smaller and smaller changes every year. But that’s not what bothers me.

What bothers me is the price. It’s higher year after year. I remember buying my first flagship from them for around 500 euros, but now you need more than three times that price. I currently own an iPhone through my mobile provider contract and an S24 Ultra, which I got with a nice preorder bonus for around 700 euros. So that was nice. But when I look at the new Fold, I’ll need 1,600 euros for it. This is where my brain tells me to stop. In my opinion, this price is crazy¹. Without the bonus, you need to spend around 2,500 euros, which is hard to swallow. (I’m comparing it to the 1TB version.)

Hello everyone! This is something that has been on my to-do list for a while now, but I just found some time to make it happen. Whether you are a person who values privacy highly or just want to hide your public IP address from services, this is for you.

The reason I wanted to do this is that I have my network divided into several subnets using VLANs. For example, I have one for IoT devices and one for guests. They have different rules for what they can access in my network.

Earlier today Mastodon 4.3.0 was released and added few nice feature. Among others they added something that is called Author attribution. It adds a small tag with link to your profile when link from your site is shared.

Robb wrote about how you can add attribution to your own website.

In short:

Add new meta tag fediverse:creator into head of your page for example <meta name="fediverse:creator" content="@may@social.lol" />
Then go to your mastodon instance profile, click Edit profile then Verification
Scroll down to Author attribution and put there domain of your blog(s).¹

You are done. Now you can try to link something from your own blog. Like I did with this post.

My consolidated notes:

🔗.maymeow.lol/cs-notes (notion)

Prefessor Messer’s channel

Also check this youtube channel - it contains many good information related to cybersecurity and not only for this course:

https://www.youtube.com/c/professormesser

Other Tips

Don’t stay only with information from the course on coursera - do your own reasearch, read books or find informations on the internet, for example on the education sites or quality Youtube channels.
Practice - just watching and listening is no enough to remember things
Take notes - it helps you remember more
Try to understand concepts - It is not enough to learn something like a poem. When a situation arises where you have to use your knowledge, it will not be enough.
Cybersecurity is huge and no one becomes an expert overnight.

Copying Large Files Over Ssh

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 16:02:22 +0200

If you tried to copy files via SSH you know that you can use scp to do this. For example:

SCP

1scp you@1.2.3.4:/path/to/file.rar ./
2
3# or to download folder
4scp you@1.2.3.4:/path/to/folder ./

Most of the time, this solution works, but if you have an unstable connection, you have to start downloading files all over again. Even worse, if the file is large, it will take a long time to download.

Cybersecurity Is Not Full

Wed, 07 Aug 2024 11:20:02 +0200

I just read one blog post where the author talking about that the field in cybersecurity (cs)is full. I don’t think so! Go ahead and make own your point. https://cyberisfull.com/category/cybersecurity.html

At first, I agree there are many companies who tells you don’t need prior education to become a cs specialists. And they doing it because it something that can sell to you, and now it is lucrative. Yes become hacker (as you see in movies) is … “sexy” (?) job.

🔐 Using Environment Variables a Little More Securely

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 22:00:52 +0100

Storing credentials in text files is not such a smart idea. A few days ago I found a post somewhere on reddit where people were discussing a more secure way to use environmental variables for restic. (By default they are stored as plain text).

When I tried to look for a solution for this, I found another post where people talked that you can customise restic code and build it yourself. But who wants to do that?

🎄 Creating My Own Blogging Platform

Sun, 17 Dec 2023 22:21:54 +0100

For a while now I have been thinking about a blogging system for myself that I would be happy with. I tried Ghost and Wordpress (including multisite) and some others but something was still missing.

Ghost is made with Javascript (which is not my friend) and is difficult for me to add functionality to.

Wordpress - why does a theme need so many plugins? Do you guys who use a theme you bought from one of the shops know what those plugins do? Or when they were updated? I really don’t like it when my theme prevents me from updating the site. And what more I’m not fan of those word-like editors for web. They are called WYSIWYG or whatever.

Sun, 10 Dec 2023 17:24:43 +0100

Today you are looking at a strange metal country with lots of pipes. How did I get there? Oh, with the glider - I had to read it again while writing this post. After quickly sketching the positions of all the pipes, you get this

1..F7.
2.FJ|.
3SJ.L7
4|F--J
5LJ...

And also have a legend of what each of the symbols mean. For easier understanding, I made a much simpler map that contains only empty ground and starting position.

🎄 Advent of Code Day 09

Sat, 09 Dec 2023 22:02:04 +0100

Today’s problem contains a prediction of the next values for the Oasis and Sand instability sensors. You are looking at the report that contains the history. This report looks like this and you need to predict next values.

10 3 6 9 12 15
21 3 6 10 15 21
310 13 16 21 30 45

To do this, you must create a new sequence by doing the difference at each step of your history. If the new sequence is not all zeros, you have to repeat the process with the sequence you just created. At the end you will have a bunch of sequences that look like this.

Today’s quest is called Haunted Wasteland. You are riding a camel across a desert island. You find a map in one of the camel’s bags. The map contains instructions on how to navigate through the desert and a bunch of knots. It looks like this

1RL
2
3AAA = (BBB, CCC)
4BBB = (DDD, EEE)
5CCC = (ZZZ, GGG)
6DDD = (DDD, DDD)
7EEE = (EEE, EEE)
8GGG = (GGG, GGG)
9ZZZ = (ZZZ, ZZZ)

You start at node AAA and need to get to node ZZZZ. And you need to know how many steps it takes to get to node ZZZ.

🤔 Privacy Matter but What About Security?

Tue, 10 Oct 2023 15:20:38 +0200

I don’t know. After the last few weeks, I still feel that a lot of people don’t care about cybersecurity. Most people are more concerned about privacy, but security is the 2nd rail.

Companies trying to look perfect, having the latest furniture, new buildings, but still using a lot of old hardware that is no longer maintained and no longer secure.

People buying expensive things, everyone talking about privacy. A lot of people moving away from big companies and wanting to give their personal data to someone who is privacy friendly, even if those providers are often individuals who have their servers in the basement.

📯 Setting Up Reposting

Sun, 08 Oct 2023 20:57:53 +0200

Hello everyone!

This is just a quick post to test reposting posts from my blog to other social networks like mastodon or bluesky. Until now, my “reposting” was based on my action (and if I forgot, no new post information was on my mastodon).

I’ve just read that you can use your rss and Micro.blog to repost what’s on your rss to other supported sites. This isn’t new to me, but after I tried it and it didn’t work I left it as is with the thought that I’ll look at it later. And now is the time I think.

🐧 Securing Ssh for Linux

Wed, 09 Aug 2023 15:05:13 +0200

all following changes was made in sshd_config and you need root permission to do this. Open file with sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config or any other editor.

Disable root access

Before you do this step, make sure you have another user that is in sudo gorup. Check Initial Server Setup on Cloud Services post if you need help with that.

Now open sshd_config file and find and uncomment following line

1# ...
2PermitRootLogin no
3# ...

Save this file and restart ssh server

I got 2 games on my Switch and from this point u was unable to buy anything (games, subscription for online gaming) so I contacted support and it turned out that nintendo somehow blocked my payments (paypal / CC) and they don’t know why. And that it shouldn’t take more than 30 days (without guarantee), so I should wait. I’m thinking of returning it.

📱 I Am Switching to Readwise Reader

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 22:45:48 +0200

I decided to try a new Readwise reader application. I already use their application for highlights from books I read so when I found that they have a read-it-later application I had to try it.

The app is currently in beta and you can get a 30-day trial version regardless of whether you have used the Readwise app before. I posted screenshots from the iOS version but you can get the Android version as well.

🔐 Using reCAPTCHA with JavaScript and PHP

Fri, 23 Dec 2022 18:28:22 +0200

I had to update the page of one of my clients to use some verification before guests can submit the form because they receive many unwanted messages from there. One of the ways is using reCAPTCHA and making guests solve puzzles before they can submit the form.

Prepare

To implement reCAPTCHA on your PHP page, you will first need to sign up for an API key pair on the reCAPTCHA website. Once you have your API key pair, you can add the following code to your PHP page to display the reCAPTCHA widget:

Hello World!

👷 My Workflow

Sun, 04 Dec 2022 16:14:21 +0100

Hey, guys! Today I will show you how my workflow looks like. This is the latest version, I changed it a few times before. If you read my blog, you know that before I hosted a lot of things at my home on my server. Gradually I moved things to the cloud and now I’m trying to simplify my workflow. It’s nice to manage your stuff yourself, but it takes a lot of time. Let’s take a look at how I managed to do it.

⚙️ Manage multiple git accounts

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 21:17:40 +0200

This is an instruction only for Linux, I use this procedure also on Windows but this one is not described yet. I plan to add it as soon as I write it.

Hi! Do you have multiple git accounts or you just using one? I have multiple and everytime I reinstall my system I trying to find how I configured it before… (i finally wrote this together here).

Im using multiple git config file rather than multiple host names (i don’t like to have somethink like git@github-work or git@github-personal).

⚙️ Sending Message to Mattermost With PHP and Github Actions

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 07:32:31 +0200

Today I show you how you can send notifications to Mattermost with PHP and Github Actions. There are some implementations on Github Marketplace but nothing was made with PHP, there was Javascript, Go, or Python. But PHP can be used to create command-line utilities and it’s very easy. Don’t trust me? Come I’ll show you.

🔢 Introduction to PHP Enums

Sun, 03 Jul 2022 18:14:46 +0900

PHP 8.1 finally brings enums which can be know from other programming languages like C#. It is in my opinion one of best things which came with new php version.

🔐 Use 2FA Everywhere

Mon, 25 Apr 2022 09:39:40 +0200

Yes! Use 2 factor authentication (2FA) everywhere and everytime it is possible. Novadays it is pretty common and almost all servicess to allow you to use some kind of 2FA.

What is 2FA?

2FA gives you to your service identification (e.g. emal/username & password) another layer to verify your identity. After logging with your username and password site will ask you to enter one time passowrd or use hardware key (its based on type 2FA you using).

📦 Uploading Files With Cake Php and Fileupload Plugin

Sending Strings as Files with CakePHP server response

Mon, 20 Sep 2021 14:55:39 +0200

With CakePHP it is quite easy to send any string as a subfile. As an example below is the creation of an ICS subfile (for a calendar invites)

My Selfhosting Workflow

Mon, 13 Sep 2021 11:14:48 +0200

Hi there! I have here another update on selfhosting. I hosting all services with docker and using docker-compose.yml file to deploy services. I wrote about it more in Notes on Selfhosted Services. Ok, now i have one repository for configuration and each application has it own repository where I have source codes and where i building image. All my sorce codes are stored on GitLab and all jobs runs on Gitlab ci after pushing to repository.

Notes on Selfhosted Services

Thu, 02 Sep 2021 22:33:12 +0200

I started selfhosing with one service (Gitlab) 5 years ago, but now i have more services on totally 1 dedicated server and few VPSs in cloud.

Server configuration storage

First i had each service per git repository but was hard to manage if you have each service in different folder so i moved the to one big repository. My directory structure looks as follows

1application
2- application name
3-- service_vars
4-- service_config
5-- docker.compose.yml
6...
7global_vars
8scripts

Each application has it’s own subfolder whe are stored it’s configuration files and environmental variables.

Installing Cloud Hosted Router on Cloud

Sun, 22 Aug 2021 22:13:44 +0200

I have part of my self-hosted services on cloud and part at my home, ia have solved connection between them with OpenVPN sever installed on cloud machine and Raspbery Pi 2 as my client. If you are familiar with MikroTik, you can instal Cloud hosted router on your provider.

Installation

This first part can be different by cloud service provider. I’m installing this on Hetzner cloud.

Create new cloud machine, go to settings and enable rescure system.

Sending Exit Code Over Curl

Tue, 27 Jul 2021 10:56:16 +0000

Hi everyone! I created few scripts to backum my server’s data to my S3 storage and wanted to be notified when backup fails. Until now I used Zabbix with zabix-sender but I found maybe better server monitoring for me: Netdata. So when I dont use zabbix anymore I needed another solution and found one. You can post status code with curl to any api (or you can create easy script for example in the GO to send data to the api, this is just easier and faster solution for me now.)

🐋 How to Run Wordpress in Docker

Mon, 01 Mar 2021 19:01:12 +0100

I’m not a very big fan of WordPress. In my honest opinion main problem (and benefit?) is that WordPress has many plugins.It is like two sided sword where on one side you have plugins for almost everything and on other side is quality of those plugins. Some plugin are good supported by their creators to ensure copatibility with latest version of Wordpress and sometimes just one plugin on your page blocking you from upgrade to a new version because the developer not updating it anymore.

Create API With CakePHP

Fri, 25 Sep 2020 10:02:54 +0200

Before created API with prefixes. So I had API in the controller folder with everything else but when you have many controllers it can be hard to navigate between them. So I decided to move all API controllers to a new plugin that I called Api (the similarity of the names is purely random). And the second good thing on this is that you can have easily versions of your API. So here I using prefixes for API versioning (V1, V2 …).

Static Sites With Minio and S3www

Wed, 19 Aug 2020 07:02:56 +0200

Hi! If you read my last post you know how to host your static pages on Azure. I know there are some of you who want opnsource solutions or want to host on your own server / vps by themself. There is a solution - did you heard about Minio and s3www? Minio is object storage compatibile with s3 and it’s 100% open source, s3www is opensouce software that can serve pages from compatibile s3 storage and it’s “Let’s Encrypt ready”. Anyway i dont use lets encrypt on s3www because both of them are don’t resource greedy so you can host more things on one server (i tried on $5 droplet gitea, s3, wikijs, drone, …), so i using Traefik which can automatically create let’s encrypt certificates for all your services.

Quick Note on Minio Users

Wed, 19 Aug 2020 06:12:30 +0200

Hi! I want to show you how you can add new user on your minio server and how you can assign him access rights to selected folders by creating policy.

Create user

1mc admin user add mystorage <NEW-USER-ACCESS-KEY> <NEW-USER-SECRET-KEY>

New users dont have any access on server, You can just login so you will need to setup policy and assign it to newly created user

Create Bucket

1mc mb mystorage/my-site

Create policy.

Update User Guid to Match Existing User in Microsoft 365 Azure Ad

Sun, 16 Aug 2020 14:54:00 +0200

Let’s see what to do when azure ADSync synchronize you on Premise AD user to azure to @domain.onmicrosoft.com. In most cases it was done when i have already existing user username@mydomain.tld. Fortunately this is fixable problem. So what to do?

First of all you will need to find ObjectGUID of users which you want update. This can be retrieved form you local AD. But not that one you can find in MMC if you check users atribute. This format is not accepted with Azure AD, so there is another way to obtain it. We use tool called LDIFDE.

Deploy Your Site to Azure with GitLab

Thu, 13 Aug 2020 10:38:25 +0200

👋 Hi! I wanted to host this site on azure blob storage and I found this solution. It’s created with Hugo. I’m using Gitlab CI to deploy it to the server.

🌊 Configure static site hosting on azure

So First thing you need is to create an Azure account. When you are done then go to Azure Portal, and create the storage account
Locate your storage account
On the menu pane (left) find “Static website” and select Enabled to enable it.
Configure paths for Index document for. example index.html and for Error document 404.html. Click Save, that’s it, you have configured your Azure storage to server static websites.

🕸 Custom Website address

The next thing you will need is to configure CNAME records in case you want to use your domain. 💡 Azure will serve your page under HTTP, but I wanted to use HTTPS so I using Cloudflare DNS which proxying data to azure blob storage. In this case, you need to verify the domain indirectly (not proxied). So Let,s create 2 new CNAME records.
