VFsync

If you don't have access (direct or remote) to a computer running GNU/Linux there are several options, one of which is vfsync.

VFsync (for Virtual File Synchronization) is a secure file synchronization system.

 *   In a web based virtual machine. The files can be manipulated with all the standard Unix commands and imported or exported to the host system.
 *  In a small Desktop based virtual machine. It is faster than the web based virtual machine and unlike other virtual machines, no disk image needs to be downloaded.
 *  With a small standalone client directly running on the host system.

Notes

You won't't be able to do everything in the posts on this site, or tutorials elsewhere, however you can still do quite a lot, so this should be a good opportunity to learn until you can find other solutions. There are a few links below. I am not going to recommend or endorse a particular solution..

As there is a demand for technical skills in areas such as cloud compiuting and cybersecurity then knowing how to use GNU/Linux and similar unix systems is probably essential, as would be understanding powershell, I am not sure if this is the case, but AI needs to run on servers, which are mostly likely to be powered by GNU/Linux. I will leave readers to do their own reserach.

Networking and SSh

I have decided to republish these links as there are a few people on the Fediverse who work or are involved in InfoSec and CyberSecurity.

These videos are a starting point for understanding networking and also SSH which allows remote login to remote computer.

So next up are the links to the videos on Networking and another video on OpenSSH (SSH being Secure SHell of course.

I am reposting links to previous blog posts that looked at these topics:-

• Networking
• OpenSSH

I can be contacted on Fediverse / mastodon, search for @zleap@qoto.org.

NANO and Shell scripting

I have decided to republish these links as there are a few people on the Fediverse who work or are involved in InfoSec and CyberSecurity. These videos are a starting point as it is very useful to understand how to use the GNU/Linux command line along with related tools in general.

You may find the links on the BASH Basics post useful

I am reposting links to previous blog posts that looked at these topics:-

• Nano Editor
• Shell Scripting
• Sed, Grep & Cron

CyberSecurity part 13

So we are on part 13, well done and thank you to everyone who has stuck with this so far.

So today, I am going to link to three videos, which give more details on specific bash commands. Hopefully this will speed things up a little, there are probably better videos, so please feel free to search, watch and share alternative videos.

• sed – stream editor
• grep – gnu regular expression parser
• cron – job control scheduling

CyberSecurity part 12

So we are on part 12, well done and thank you to everyone who has stuck with this so far. Today I am linking to s shell scripting crass course.

• Shell Scripting Crash Course – Beginner Level

Joe Collins who presented the bash videos earlier also has a series of videos on shell scripting

• Part 1
• Part 2
• Part 3
• Custom BASH Environment
• BASH Environment | Aliases, Functions and Scripts

Useful stuff

If you write a bash script, that needs the user to run as with elevated privileges this code may be handy.

if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]
  then echo "Please run as root / sudo"
exit

  else

Resize and rename multiple files

As I was renaming and resizing some files anyway. I decided to make this short video of the process. I have added to Debian category as I am using Debian 11.

Commands used:-

gm -mogrify -resize 640x480 *.JPG AND rename 's/P1/codeclub/'

As usual your mileage may vary, you need to check man pages for specific arguments for your needs.

Happy to try and help further via Mastodon
