PKI Related Standards

Involve in some PKI related project recently and found a interesting resources to get all the PKI related Standards. For my own record purpose, and to help out those that needed, following are the link :

http://www.oasis-pki.org/resources/techstandards/#majorrfcs

In case the above site is not accessiable, following are some of the details:

PKI Technical Standards What follows is a comprehensive set of lists of applicable PKI standards. Notes: Standards tend to migrate from one body to another, as they mature and become ratified and adopted by steadily bigger groups. Over time this can lead to redundant standards documents. For instance, most of the RSA Laboratories' PKCS series have been adopted by the IETF now; such standards can appear more than once in the lists below. A nearly complete compendium of information security standards was produced by APEC and is available from the Federal PKI Steering Committe website: APEC Standards Handbook.

Fall in to Mini PC, MK802

Recently bought a MK802 and not long after that, i've fall into this Mini PC. Prior to own this small device, I run a ssh server with my desktop for tunneling purpose. Checking on power consumption on my desktop, wow, 170w++ compare with 3w for MK802. Beside reducing the electricity bill, we contribute to save our mother earth. I decide to port over the SSH to my MK802, and switch off my desktop. However there are some small changes need to be done like booting into Linux, etc. Following are some of the image available for MK802 :

Essential Linux Command used

As job require, I've been involve in setting LDAP server in Linux environment. As a newbie in Linux, I think it's a good idea for me to keep some of the essential command somewhere i can access anytime anywhere.

Mounting USB Drive
1. Checking what device id been assigned to newly plugin usb drive
    -"dmesg"
    -cat \proc\partitions
2.  create folder for mounting the USB drive
    - mkdir \mnt\usb
3. mounting the USB drive
    - mount -t vfat /dev/[device id] /mnt/usb
4. unmount the USB drive
    - umount /mnt/usb

Mounting an encrypted Volume
1. cryptsetup --key-file /root/key/backup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 backup
2. mount /dev/mapper/backup /mnt
3. umount /mnt
4. cryptsetup luksClose backup

Configure network
 1. check for interface
    - ifconfig -a
2. configure hw mac address accordingly
    - vi /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.
    - vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
 3. restart network service to acquire ip
    - service network restart

View Cert
- openssl asn1parse -inform PEM -in [cert.pem]

Generate a cert with private key

- openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /etc/openldap/ssl/slapdcert.pem -keyout /etc/openldap/ssl/slapdkey.pem -days 365

Services

- Restart Services : service [service name] restart

- check service status : service [service name] status 

Configure MAVEN to use SOCKS proxy

Recently involved in JAVA development which require me to setup the development environment. There are much more things to learn. Therefore want to make some note here along my learning path which i hope it will be useful for others as well. Here it is, on how to configure your maven to use socks proxy :

1. set the environment variable (Windows 7)
Right-click "My Computer" and  click "Properties"
Click "Advances system settings"
Click "Environment variables"
Under "System variables",  click "New..."
For "Variable Name", put the following without quote "MAVEN_OPTS"
For "Variable Value",  put the following without quote "-DsocksProxyHost=xxx -DsocksProxyPort=yyy" by replacing xxx with your Sock Proxy Address, and yyy with your Socks Proxy port.
2. Then you might be able to test it out using the example shown in : http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/maven-in-five-minutes.html to create a sample Project.

通血管古方

最近，身边的好一些朋友都得了高胆固醇，血管阻塞的问题，上网看到了一则古方，希望可以助人助己：

材料：同份量的檸檬汁、薑汁、蒜頭汁、蘋果醋各一杯（250cc），蜜糖適量。
做法：1. 蒜頭去皮，薑去皮切小片，放入榨汁機榨汁，或者放入攪拌器打成漿，用網布隔渣，手絞出汁。
2. 將蒜頭、薑汁放入瓦煲，加入檸檬汁與蘋果醋，大火滾，小火慢煮，不要蓋鍋蓋，讓水份蒸發，大約需要半小時，剩下大約一半汁液。
3. 溫度降下後，加入蜜糖，仔細攪勻，蜜糖可能需要很多，主要是令汁液容易入口。
4. 將成品儲在有蓋的玻璃瓶中，放入雪櫃。每天早飯前空肚服用一湯匙。
