Hi everyone! I'm planning on getting a split keyboard to replace my planck, but I don't have a soldering iron.

What are my options ? Ideally I want:

• DIY, no soldering involved
• QMK firmware
• 40% format

The keyboard I'm leaning toward is the let's split as it's a planck split in two halves, but it seems that you need to at least solder the keycaps yourself, which I can't.

I've been working on this project for over a year now, and I'm sure many people here will like it !

This is a game where the player must complete technical challenges about various technologies (programming, cryptography, networking, etc...) to progress through the story. It puts the Unix family under the light, and features many opensource technologies all running on a single server!

Check out the about page for details, and happy hunting !

Over the past year, I've created technical adventure for people eager to challenge their skill and knowledge about many technical fields, while also having fun !

Programming, version control, command line, network protocols, cryptography, steganography, games, … Thorough the game you'll switch from decades old to state of the art technologies, and use it all to progress through a dystopian story happening around the 2^nd^ Epochalypse.

Get your systems ready, and hope that you'll be done with it before the Advent of Code starts, because you will probably not handle both at the same time ;)

I used to rock a bare metal 1Tib HDD server for 17€/month, that I used as an NFS server for all my other servers which needed storage space.

First of all, NFS kinda sucks and I'm looking for alternative solution that I can use on OpenBSD to mount remote volumes.

Secondly, I'm planning to move this server to hetzner (my current provider), but they lack affordable storage (it's 50€/month for 1Tib). Do you know an hosting provider which would provide high volumes for not so expensive prices ?

Salut les Français !

Je bosse sur un projet dans le cadre duquel j'ai besoin de construire une table de correspondance entre des mots de passe et leurs hash cryptographiques.

Seulement voilà, l'algorithme de calcul de ces hash (argon2id) est spécifiquement construit pour être long et coûteux a calculer. Or moi j'ai besoin d'un gros volume de données aléatoires (+2Gib), et memes avec toute ma puissance dont je dispose a la maison, ça me prendrait des mois.

J'ai donc mis au point hashcrush, un "brûleur de CPU", qui calcule ces précieux hash en utilisant toute la puissance disponible sur la machine qui l'exécute. Je l'ai testé sous Linux et OpenBSD.

Parce que je crois en l''esprit communautaire et l'entraide dans la vie de tous les jours, je préfères demander de l'aide au sein des communautés auxquelles j'appartiens plutôt que d'engraisser les fournisseur de service (qui me louerait du CPU à foison pour le même résultat avec grand plaisir).

Donc si vous voulez bien me filer un coup de main, clonez le dépôt et mangez du hash ! Toutes les infos sont sur la page du projet.

Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à les poser ici.

Merci les copains :)

Edit: pour ceux que ça intéresse, on a atteint l'objectif. Ça nous aura prit 3 jours, contre 8 mois si j'avais fais ça tout seul !

I've recently dug into my firewall logs and the most traffic I seem to receive from internet is targeting port 3389.

While I could just blacklist the source IPs and call it a day, I would like to actually listen on this port and "trap" them in a fake RDP connection.

There are tools like endlessh, and I've found that you can do the same for http by sending an endless stream of headers. I would like to do the same for RDP, and before I start digging into the whole spec, I was wondering if there is already something similar for RDP.

Is anyone aware of that ? Is that even a thing ?

The one true white rabbit.

Hey everyone ! I finally decided to monitor my applications more closely with Grafana. However I'm having issues building dashboards their logs.

Their logs are currently sent over syslog (in RFC3164 format) into telegraf. But it simply puts the whole message into the message field, so I can't use specific fields (eg. URL for httpd, source IP for DNS requests, username for SSH, …) to build graphs.

I've read about grok patterns, but I have no idea how to use them.

Would someone have any pointer on how I could make sense out of these logs for later use ?
