Sometimes, you need to obtain a full copy of a volume within a single storage system (SAN), not a snapshot, but a complete volume. However, not all SANs allow this to be done using their own tools. It seems that the only option is to copy through the server, but in this case, the entire volume of data will be routed through the server itself, the network to the SAN, and the SAN ports, […]

TL;DR: I'm setting up Wireguard on a VPS, connecting to it from my home router on OpenWRT, and gaining access to my home subnet from my phone. If you have a personal infrastructure on your home server or multiple IP-managed devices at home, you certainly want to access them from work, on the bus, train, or metro. More often […]
In brief, MTA-STS is a way to further secure emails against interception (i.e., man-in-the-middle attacks aka MitM) during transmission between mail servers. It partially addresses inherited architectural issues of email protocols and is described in a relatively recent standard RFC 8461. Mail.ru is the first major mail service in RuNet to implement this standard. A more detailed discussion can be found […]
Guardicore, a company specializing in data center and cloud system protection, has identified a new high-tech malware called FritzFrog, which targets Linux-based servers. FritzFrog combines a worm that spreads through a brute-force attack on servers with an open SSH port, and components for building a decentralized botnet that operates without control nodes and has no single point of failure. A proprietary […]
On August 10, a video course on Docker started at Slurm, where we cover it in full — from basic abstractions to network parameters. In this article, we will discuss the history of Docker's emergence and its main abstractions: Image, CLI, Dockerfile. This lecture is aimed at beginners, so it is unlikely to be of interest to experienced users. There will be no blood, appendix, or deep dives. […]

Corrective releases of the Icinga Web 2.6.4, 2.7.4, and v2.8.2 packages, which provide a web interface for the Icinga monitoring system, have been published. The proposed updates address a critical vulnerability (CVE-2020-24368), allowing an unauthenticated attacker to access files on the server with the privileges of the Icinga Web process (typically the user under which the HTTP server or FPM runs). A successful attack requires one of the third-party modules supplied […]
