pfSense VLAN Trunk Configuration (on the Netgate 7100)
This article discusses the pfSense Netgate VLAN Trunk configuration. We’re using the Netgate 7100 as the firewall appliance, and a TPLink T2500G-10TS (common and fairly generic) switch to form a Trunk between. We have a computer on each side of the Trunk, each in a different subnet. See the diagram

This article discusses my recent experiences with 4G/5G fail-over for a small business running a Netgate 3100 pfSense firewall appliance. The model of the Netgate firewall appliance isn’t important. If you’re using a USB device for the 4G/5G, then it’s the pfSense drivers that matter. The question is, which 4G/5G
Read moreNode.JS with MySQL
This article shows how to implement a small Node.js application that pulls data from a local MySQL server. We’re doing this on a CentOS server but that’s not important – any Linux will do. But if you’re using Windows, the installation process will differ. yum install nodejs npm install mysql

Sometimes we don’t want the public knowing the versions of Apache and PHP running on our servers. This article shows how to hide that information. We’re using CentOS 7 for this example but the only difference really is the location of the configuration file for the Vhosts. Hide the Apache

If you want to create a customised password list for a specific target (client, I hope), this article is for you. It’s basically just a re-write of “https://karimlalji.wordpress.com/2018/04/26/password-guessing-mangle-a-custom-wordlist-with-cewl-and-hashcat/” which I’ll probably forget later so I’m documenting here. We don’t just want a list of passwords, we want a list of

This article demonstrates how to mount “https://live.sysinternals.com/tools” on Linux so that it’s accessible at “/mnt/sysinternals”, for example. On CentOS: yum install davfs2 On Ubuntu: apt install davfs2 Mount it: mount -t davfs https://live.sysinternals.com/tools /mnt/sysinternals Now you can access it at: # ls /mnt/sysinternals/ accesschk64.exe diskext.exe pipelist.exe RegDelNull.exe accesschk.exe Diskmon.exe PORTMON.CNT

In this article, we’re assuming we have multiple sites (remote offices) using Unifi networking gear, and a central network (in Azure or AWS for example) running pfSense as the firewall. We want an IPSec site-to-site VPN between them in a spoke topology. The Unifi networks will connect to the pfSense

Everything you see here is found more formally at “https://mariadb.com/docs/operations/upgrades/upgrade-community-server-cs103-centos7/”. This page is basically just my notes in case I can’t find the other site when I need it in future. We’re using CentOS 7 and upgrading from “MariaDB 5.5” to “MariaDB 10.3”. Backup your DB and config files first.
