Slackware 13.37… 1 year old!

By in Linux

Slackware 13.37 is one year old today! If you haven’t yet played with Slackware give it a bash its not as hard of a distribution to use as people make out! Talking of Bash I have ditched it in favor for ZSH and am so happy that I have, here is a few things I like about it already:

  • Typo correction
  • Intelligent tab completion
  • Share history across sessions

Anyway check out the ZSH homepage too while you are waiting for the Slackware ISO to download.

I have uploaded a few more scripts to Github, including one that is front-end for the SolusVM client API, it is still a work in progress and needs abit of error checking and general code clean up. I will get around to it one day… honest!

ProjectVoIP source on GitHub

By in Honeypot, Linux

I eventually got around to pushing most of the projects source code to Github, only a few days later than I said I would!

That being said I have just realized that I have forgot to put up the SQL schema, doh! I will push that up some point today. I will also upload the PHP files for the front I done at some point.

You can browse/download the ProjectVoIP Source Here.

I have a few days off so I took the time to browse scripts I have made in the past and I think a few of them maybe useful to someone.

The one that I still use daily is a bash script to check the status, stats, reboot, power off, boot and bandwidth of SolusVM based virtual machines. I used this all the time when I was running the honeypot network for a quick way of managing them. I shall start uploading them soon too.

Busy, Busy – VoIP honeypot on hold

By in Honeypot, Linux, Security

So recently I started a new job and have really busy with that lately so that has lead to me neglecting ProjectVoIP and not really having the time to work on or update it much at all.

So the plan is to push everything that I have done so far up to Github and work on it when I can so that maybe other people can rewrite/build there own or whatever :p.

I will clean up the code a bit and try get it up sometime on Sunday at the earliest.

ATI Drivers & Slackware 3.2.13 Kernel Issues

By in Linux, Slackware

Kernel 3.2.13 was recently pushed to the Slackware -current tree but unfortunately this doesn’t go together with the latest and maybe even previous ATI drivers. The ATI kernel will fail to compile giving the following error:


make[2]: *** [/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[1]: *** [_module_/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x] Error 2

After a bit of digging around I managed to find the solution to the problem posted here. Below is a quick command summary of what to do and a mirror of the patch.


1. Download this patch file.
2. sh amd-driver-version.sh -keep
3. cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
4. patch -p0 < location-of-downloaded-patch
6. sh make.sh
7. cd ..
8. sh make_install.sh

Better late than never!

By in Honeypot

Today I got the following email from a ISP regarding the abuse reports I was sending for the SSH honeypot project. Fantastic to see a ISP’s taking active action against abuse cases, just a shame it took 4 months to do so however ;-)

Oh and it wasn’t a scan, they hacked the SSH server and downloaded malware!
