Together with a friend we took part of the Capture The Flag at the 35C3. One challenge was that one:
Logrotate is designed to ease administration of systems that generate large numbers of log files. It allows automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing of log files. Each log file may be handled daily, weekly, monthly, or when it grows too large. It also gives you a root shell.
I wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year.
This week I received an email from my bank company. They advertised that they are cooperating with the "Post"(Austrian mailprovider) and recommended to use "E-Brief" for notifications from them. My first thought was: "it's E-Mail". Because E-Brief translated from german means: "E-Mail". So I took a look in the FAQ's from the Post and they wrote things like(translated from German):

This blog really became 4 years old. When I started to write it was mostly for practicing written english. But my intention was always to give something back to the open-source community. I failed terribly with the first point. My english is as bad as it was before, but I have readers and get responses to some articles.

Thank you to all my readers.

Many people are scared because Microsoft bought GitHub. I wonder why people are so shocked now. Github is just another cloud-thingy and cloud means: "it's just the computer of someone else". If "someone else" will shutdown or wipe his computer, then we better have backups. Having this in our minds I would say that it's time to make (auto)backups. I wrote this little ruby-script that clones all public repositories of a user into a directory.
I proudly pronounce the first (pre-)release of cryptorecord. Cryptorecords is a ruby gem that provides an API and scripts for creating crypto-related dns-records(e.g. DANE). Currently it supports TLSA, OPENPGPKEYS and SSHFP but I plan to support other records in future. The API doesn't create any keys or certificates. It just takes existing keyfiles to create the DNS-records.
