• The Power of Community

  The advent of the internet led to the creation of online communities, which has evolved into various forms such as gaming communities (like EASports Online), football communities (like Footyaddicts), chess communities (like chess.com), and programming communities (like Laravel and Rails community, Google Developer groups, forloop Africa). - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• How I hacked chess.com with a rookie exploit

  Clearly chess.com was using something like "starts with" to process the re-upload. Basically don't re-upload if it starts with https://chess.com, but filter out if it starts with https://chess.com/registration-invite Typically same origin policies are relaxed for things like images by default [0]. So they came up with a trampoline, they created a chess.com.theirDomain.tld to get past the re-upload filter, which in... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Cisco switch backup/restore?

  A decade ago I worked for a shop that needed to routinely back up 100+ cisco switches and routers and refused to pay for solarwinds. I setup a light weight freebsd vm to run this open source software: https://shrubbery.net/rancid/ (Rancid: Really Awesome New Cisco config Differ) and set it to scrape all the equipment every 12 errors.

• Version control for network configs

  Anyways Rancid does support cvs, svn, and git. Though I have only used it with cvs. Basically what it does, is checks out the configuration, downloads the configuration with other information about the state of the device, commits the configurations(which only changed ones will be in the latest check-ins, and then it can send an email of the changes.

• Management Software for Cisco Devices?

  RANCID - Really Awesome New Cisco confIg Differ monitors a router's (or more generally a device's) configuration, including software and hardware (cards, serial numbers, etc) and uses CVS (Concurrent Version System), Subversion or Git to maintain history of changes. Source: about 2 years ago

• What all are you doing with Ansible?

  If you want to use this as an opportunity to learn Ansible, or you don't want to add another tool to the stack, this is a fine use case. Otherwise, I would consider using either RANCID or Oxidized for configuration backup. Source: about 2 years ago

• Starting with python at 30

  Before I knew about RANCiD (https://shrubbery.net/rancid), I wrote my own Perl application to telnet into a Foundry Networks switch and TFTP its configuration to my computer so I could back it up. At a future employer, I rewrote another coworkers Perl application that collected SNMP values from devices and did stuff with it (forget what all I did then). Source: over 2 years ago
