Christmas? Music

 

Christmas? Music

Introduction

Year, people ask what holiday music to listen to. I thought I would just list a bunch I listen to here, so I can just share the link.
Of course, I listen to all the normal holiday music that you get subjected too at the mall too. I seed my list with Bing Crosby Christmas to make sure this quota is met.

A Very Scary Solstice

This masterpiece from the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. The people that stan for Cthulhu and Yog-Sothoth! This is my must-listen too

An Even Scarier Solstice

The sequal Album! More! More! More!

An Abhorrent & Ancient Solstice

On Thin Ice - Pandora Celtica

SANS Holiday Hack Challenge

Every year, the SANS Holiday Hack Challenge is a great oppertunity to sharpen your hacking skills. With a different story every year, it's an amazing way to learn away your holiday PTO - or write it up as training and claw back the hours! You can go back and do all of them online still! They have as far back as 2010 on their list of past challenges.

But you're not hear to learn that- that would be a different page, you're here for the music, right‽ In 2016 someone at SANS had the idea of putting a free downloadable album with the challenge!

I'm sure you can enumerate all the year's free music!

Fail2ban with VYOS API

Introduction I, like many people, found that I was getting a few failed ssh attempts per day. I looked at a root account facing the internet and found a little over 32000 failed attempts per day. Rest assured, these are low-skill attacks with a pretty low risk of compromise, but still, there are a few things that still makes me want to respond to it. Firstly, it's a lot of noise in the logs. It fills disks and makes it hard to see more dangerous attacks. Second, this confirms malicious intent. Maybe it's just a compromised box that is now part of a botnet, but you never know if it's going to be a platform for another attack. Finally, even though it's a low probability of compromise, there is still a chance. I know most of these attacks are checking for things like 10-year-old linksys WAPs with default passwords, but there is also the worst case out there, distributed brute force attacks and password spraying. My decision was to block this traffic, but then the next ques...

Super Raspberry

 There's a list called TOP500 , indexing the 500 most powerful (known) computers.  Obviously, the NSA's super secret computers aren't on the list.    This list has been around for many years, released every June and November.    Topping the list in June 2022 is the Frontier HPE CRAY EX235A.  This absolute beast runs 8,730,112 AMD cores, rated at 1,685.65 PFlop/s.   Let me rewrite that a few times:  1.6 Exaflots/second. 1685650Teraflops/s.  1685650000 Gigaflops/s. But I want to call your attention to an older version, published in July, 1997.   That year's #500 was SX-4/4, built by NEC for the Houston Area Research Center in the USA.  With it's 8GFlops/S, this nearly doubled November 1996's last place computer in the  Goodyear  Technical Center in Luxembourg, clocking in at 4.6GFLOPS.  This is quite a bit slower than the créme-de-la-créme of 25 years later.  It sure shows the march of progress....
